Nether Vortex

For the mage talent, see [Nether Vortex].

Nether Vortex is a crafting material used in high-level Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring recipes to create epic items at the 375 skill level of each profession. As of patch 2.4.0, they are used in Alchemy as well.

Source[]

Nether Vortices drops from all trash mobs in Serpentshrine Cavern and the Eye raid instances. They can also be bought from G'eras for 70.

Note[]

These are not Arcane Vortices, which are clouds that wander Netherstorm waiting for someone with a [Zapthrottle Mote Extractor] to convert them into Motes of Mana.
