We've rounded up exactly what it is, how to use it and how to get as much of it as possible! What is Ancient Mana? Ancient Mana is vital for the Nightfallen to live without the central power of the Nightwell; in-game, it is a currency used to deal with the Nightfallen, open up portals around Suramar and ensure that your allies don't turn into the Withered. How can I find Ancient Mana? You can find it absolutely everywhere. As you progress through Suramar, you'll notice that there is Ancient Mana to be found in every nook and crack of the world. You can find AM in the following places: Dropped by mobs you kill around the zone. Complete story quests of the Nightfallen. Gathering professions have a chance to pickup the currency. After reaching Honored with the Nightfallen, you can purchase a shoulder enchant (Boon of the Manaseeker) that will allow packs to drop from mobs you kill. You can speak to Arcanist Valtrois and gain the Leyline Mastery buff. There are deposits around Suramar and Suramar City that can be looted. There are two types of deposits that can be found in the zone. We'll start with the Ancient Mana deposits outside the city. These rocks come in the following forms: Ancient Mana Shard: 10 AM each Ancient Mana Chunk: 20 AM each Ancient Mana Crystal: 50 - 100 AM each Shimmering Ancient Mana Cluster: 150 AM each The ones in Suramar city have similar values of AM, but are often more difficult to reach due to the possibility of your disguise breaking: Leypetal Blossom: 35 - 45 AM each Leypetal Powder: 65 - 75 AM each Glowing Tome: 65 - 75 AM each Mana Infused Gem: 65 - 75 AM each Twice-Fortified Arcwine: 110 AM each Capping Ancient Mana As you find more AM around the zone, you'll start finding that you simply cannot carry the amount you find. If this happens, it might be time to start increasing your Ancient Mana cap. There are items and quests around the zone that can increase your cap to a maximum of 2000. The items, which each grant +100 to your cap, are as follows: Kyrtos's Research Notes: This can be found in the Den of the Demented, which is accessible via Felsoul Hold in the west. Enchanted Burial Urn: This can be found in the northern portion of Tel'anor, which is north-east of Meredil. Kel'danath's Manaflask: This can be found south of Falanaar on a bench, close to Elfbane, an elite rare. Infinite Stone: This can be found at the Moon Guard Stronghold, in northern Suramar. Head to the top floor and you'll find the item. Volatile Leyline Crystal: Head to northern Falanaar and descend into the Shattered Locus zone. The crystal is located at the bottom. The quests that you need to complete to increase your cap (by +100) are also listed below, in the order that you will complete them: Feeding Shal'Aran The Valewalker's Burden Thalyssra's Abode How It's Made: Arcwine Make Your Mark What is Ancient Mana For? Your main cost when it comes to Ancient Mana will be keeping your Nightfallen allies alive and well. When their "life meter" runs out, you'll need to give them Ancient Mana to revive them. You'll gain a different buff from each ally as you give them the AM they need. Here are the buffs you can obtain: Ally Name AM Cost Buff Name First Arcanist Thalyssra 50 Ward of the First Arcanist Arcanist Valtrois 10 Leyline Mastery Chief Telemancer Oculeth 10 Warpwalking Leyweaver Ke'lorin 25 Leywoven Bulwark Curious Manasaber 25 Ride Manasaber Nightborne Wretch 5 Empathy Spirit Font 20 Spiritual Infusion Deactivated Security Module 25 Powered Security Module Felbound Manasaber 50 Loyal Manasaber Ley Ward 20 Ley Infusion Arcward 25 Spellshard Outside of simply using it on your allies, you can purchase some items within Suramar City. These items aren't necessarily hugely impactful, but can provide small, useful bonuses. The items are as follows: Item Name AM Cost Souvenir Raptor 100 Souvenir Murloc 100 Souvenir Elekk 100 The "Devilsaur" Lunchbox 1000 Illusion Bomb 25 Enchanted Firecrackers 25 The last place to spend your Ancient Mana is the "Withered Training" scenario. This training scenario will see you take your withered recruits out on a mission to try and claim as much loot as possible. The AM cost will depend on the number of recruits you take with you; it currently costs 100 AM per 1 recruit. The rewards from scenario include: Reputation Materials Artifact Power Ancient Mana Order Resources Gear The quest starter for the Reins of the Llothien Prowler Everything you need to know about the new currency!

Bear in mind that a lot of people will know about this tip, though:   1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Valhalen    1,484 Valhalen    1,484 Crusader Members 1,484 2,478 posts Report post Posted September 2, 2016 These buffs you get aren't permanent, I assume? I mean, once you get them they stay forever whenever you're in Suramar?

I mean, once you get them they stay forever whenever you're in Suramar? Nope. Some of them actually last very little, too. For example, the Spirit Font buff is only 2 minutes.

There are items and quests around the zone that can increase your cap to a maximum of 2000.  Not sure why that's displaying as it does. I'll check the item IDs, but it might be a problem on the side of the DB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
