Question: Where do I find soul shards?Follow

Yes, I read the guide, it's links are out of date.

The most difficult part of playing my warlock so far is how I run out of soul shards so quickly. Yes, I know the trick where you make your familiar sit and walk away to spare a shard. Still, I eat them up too quickly. Especially since I love to have a reraise option always on. No, I cannot afford a large soul shard bag. It just isn't in my budget. That means I have to hunt souls often. And often I find myself surrounded by soulless beasts.

Can anyone help me out here? Is there a guide or addon that tells you where the nearest soulfull victims are?

Please help. Ty.

I think part of your problem may be that you're a paladin...

You go to a zone closer to your level. You can find it under the "Zones by level" link to the left.

Is it really that hard to find mobs to kill? Frankly half the time I'm questing in a zone I can't get AWAY from mobs my level. Which is good, really, because often I have to kill them for the quests I'm working on.

Are you doing grey/low level quests or something?

A mob doesn't need to be "sentient" to give you a soul shard from Drain Soul, it just needs to be an appropriate level (ie, rewards exp or honor when you kill it). You can get shards from mechanical/undead/etc no problem.

I'll bite. What I think you're trying to say is that you are draining mobs that will not provide a soul shard. That really means that you are fighting critters that are too low for your level. Only green or better mobs will give you soul shards. That means that you have to pay attention to your tooltip/target icon. If it's gray, don't bother to attack it - it will never give you a soul shard (or XP, for that matter - gray mobs are for farming, and are useless otherwise).

No, I didn't ask you to repeat your question - what I wanted to know, in light of the responses, what exactly, your issue was.

To summarize:

- Any beast, humanoid, demon, dragonkin, undead, elemental, etc at or around your level will yield you a soul shard if you're draining soul while it dies.
- when you quest, most of the time you're killing the above types of mobs around your level - which means that if you drain soul it should be very easy to maintain your supply.
- to ensure that mobs in a zone are likely around your level, hit the zones by level section to the left.
- Azeroth and Outalnd are thick with mobs. How is it that you're not encountering any? How are you able to level without encountering quest mobs or mobs that yield XP?
- I have no idea what your hang up is on sentient. What does that have to do with anything? Besides, by the commen definition, most (all?) mobs you kill are sentient.

So. What, exactly, are the difficulties you're running into.

Don't just copy and paste your question, read the above and, taking that into account, tell us what the problem is.

Why do you need an add-on to find something that you can easily run into if you take 4 steps off a road in a zone of your level? I was wondering what the difficulty was because I was wondering if you were making it harder than it needed to be.

I'm pretty sure the last thing Blizzard would want to do is have souls come from only humanoids and have a giant religious issue and lose thousands if not tens/hundreds of thousands of subscribers just because of some stupid thing like that.

ANY mob that grants experience will give a soul, whether you think it has a soul or not. Granted you cast Drain Soul on it as it is dieing.

Is it wrong to rate Mazra up everytime I see that shiver giver goddess? Who is she Mazra?

Soulhelpzer isn't customizable enough for raiding. I find Icursoul far better.
