Want to know how to farm Shadowflame Essence in World of Warcraft? The recent Patch 10.1 brought a lot of new things to World of Warcraft. And besides the start of Dragonflight Season 2, new quests in Zaralek Cavern, and updated content in The Great Vault, players have received quite a few new crafting reagents. One of the rarest reagents is Shadowflame Essence, as there is only one way to get it, and the chance of success is far from 100%. But fortunately, you won’t need too much Shadowflame Essence, and our guide is here to show you how to farm it in World of Warcraft.
How To Farm Shadowflame Essence in World of Warcraft

To get Shadowflame Essence in World of Warcraft, you must visit the updated Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible raid. During this challenge, you can defeat several great bosses, each of which can drop Shadowflame Essence. At the same time, the chance of success is negligible, so not every raid will bring you this item. However, players claim that bosses like The Amalgamation Chamber and Scalecommander Sarkareth have a slightly higher chance of dropping Shadowflame Essence.
In addition, you can buy Shadowflame Essence at the auction house. But given that this is a new and rare item, the price may exceed all your expectations. So we do not recommend resorting to this method unless necessary. It is much more efficient to build a team with a hero and farm Shadowflame Essence on your own. In addition, you can wait until the hype around this reagent decreases or when new sources of this material become known.
