Hello, I unlearnt engineering at the start of bfa but then relearnt it. I picked up a tome in dalaran (legion) which allowed me to learn the recipes I lost. However I didn’t relearn the receipe of leystone buoy. I recently tried to reacquire it by killing bitterbrine mobs in Azsuna. I went into the dungeon eye of azshara and farmed the mobs there too without success. I was wondering if anyone has managed to reacquire this recipe? I thought I would ask here before I enquire with blizzard if it would have be taken off my loot table because I had it previously.
Oh boy that was a fun drop to get. And by fun I clearly mean oh-god-kill-me-now-when-will-this-damn-thing-ever-drop!!!
The best mobs to farm are in the eye of azshara dungeon. When you go in, follow the path down to the left into the beach area there are a bunch of wrecked ships on the coast in that area. That’s where you find the bitterbrine mobs that are most likely to drop this item. Even then the drop rate is really low. I think I farmed it for a week or more every day before I got the recipe.
If you look at wowhead you’ll notice that the highest drop rate is actually from a mob called the britterbine miners but those only show up when a very specific mining WQ is up and even then they are small group and hard to find (they are underwater in a pool).
