Has anyone been not receiving these? I keep getting the herbalism variant every day, but i havent recieved one of these in 2 days now. My herbalism is 12 points higher than my mining at this point.

Things you should know:

You can only get five Iridescent Ore Fragments and one Iridescent Ore per character per week. Resets with the normal weekly reset.
You can only get a certain amount of Iridescent Ore Fragments, and the remaining number you can still get for the week can be seen in the profession window when selecting this entry (just called Iridescent Ore) under the section called Appendix I - Boundless Knowledge, it will show as the last line of text on the right. Resets with the normal weekly reset.
All nodes can drop the Iridescent Ore Fragments, including elemental nodes, Titan-touched and Infuriated nodes.
Iridescent Ore is essentially the last Iridescent Ore Fragments you can get for the week. So when you get the Iridescent Ore, that means you will no longer get any Iridescent Ore Fragments or Iridescent Ore on this character for this week.
Primal nodes drop the Elementally Charged Stone.
Molten nodes drop the Heated Ore Sample.
Hardened nodes drop the Unyielding Stone Chunk.
There appears to be no weekly limit on Elementally Charged Stone, Heated Ore Sample or Unyielding Stone Chunk, though they have a significantly smaller drop chance compared to Iridescent Ore Fragments and likely do not drop from Titan-Touched, Infuriated, Rich and normal nodes.
Elementally Charged Stone, Heated Ore Sample and Unyielding Stone Chunk all seem to share the same journal entry in the profession window, that being the entry for Elementally Charged Stone.

Consider these shouldn't have a limit on drops they seems to be very limited or atleast bugged somehow. Each weekly reset I get a single drop from the first elemental node I mine and thats it.

Hello all Farmers, these are needed for the upcoming achievements in 10.1.7

I've farmed countless hours on my already mining/herbing druid in DF and i just couldn't find an Infused Pollen or Elementally Charged Stone
And i remembered having already looted these on my druid.
Now i can't say for sure if you can't loot more than X amount.
But what i can tell you is that i made my other 70 character miner (Freshly made miner)
Went with full perception enchant/accessories - Perception talents and i looted Elementally Charged Stone when i was only 65 mining. From a normal Serevite Node (Not even a rich one)
As for the Infused Pollen i looted that at lvl 100 herbalism from a normal Hochen herb, but i just barely hit 100 herbalism on it.
This didn't take that long compared to the multiple days i spent farming on my main farmer.

I only had +24 in Mining process as the only Proffesion knownledge talents.

Happy farming.

Final edit: I finally got it. I am now convinced - based on other comments and my own experience - that the Heated Ore Sample and Unyielding Stone Chunk are completely independent from the Elementally Charged Stone, despite sharing an entry in the mining journal. The method I outlined below works for getting Heated Ore Sample and Unyielding Stone Chunk, but not for Elementally Charged Stone - for this you need to first get all of your Iridescent Ore Fragments and Iridescent Ore for the week, and then keep going and eventually you will get the Elementally Charged Stone from a finesse proc (it took me almost 100 nodes and many finesse/perception procs to get it after I looted Iridescent Ore). I personally avoided all Primal, Molten, and Hardened nodes in case the 3 stones shared a weekly cap or something (these nodes are the ones that can drop heated ore/unyielding chunk), but I don't know for sure if that is necessary.

Edit: about 8 weeks in and my method below still works every week, but I have not managed to loot the charged stone...always heated ore or unyielding stone. I have heard of people getting the charged stone off finesse (or maybe perception?) procs on any kind of node.

For those hunting for this with the new achievement, here is some info:

There are three elemental knowledge items that seem very RNG - Elementally Charged Stone (which is for this achievement), Heated Ore Sample, and Unyielding Stone Chunk.

Various comments have speculated that these have a weekly or character cap. Despite sharing an entry in the mining journal, you MUST get the Elementally Charged Stone for achievement credit.

My personal experience has been that I get one of the elemental items in my first 2-3 elemental nodes per week, and then none. And it's a toss up which one you get - week 1 I got a Heated, week 2 I got another Heated, and this week I got a Heated AND an Unyielding in the SAME NODE (second node of the week). Note that every week I did hundreds of nodes trying to farm this achievement and saw none of these elemental knowledge items after the first few nodes.

Comment by Bayur

So, today I got a heated ore sample on my third node. I decided to throw it away and farm some more to try and get the elementally-charged stone. Whelp, got around 15 nodes later.

Comment by KyrosKrane

Here's how I got mine for the achievement. At the weekly reset, I took my miner out, and I mined ONLY titan-touched and primal nodes, nothing else. No non-elemental nodes, no molten nodes, and no hardened nodes. My logic was that the molten nodes drop the Heated Ore Sample and hardened nodes drop Unyielding Stone Chunk. Since you're limited to five of these special stones a week (the sixth one you would get is instead replaced with Iridescent Ore), I wanted to maximize the probability that the special stones I got would be the right type. Sure enough, I first got an Iridescent Ore Fragments from a Titan-touched node, and shortly after I got the Elementally Charged Stone from another Titan-touched.

Comment by Brogash

I gave up on the primal ones since i only got heated and unyielding on character after character probably got some 25 of them and titan touched didnt give me any whatsoever. molten touched gave heated np there and hardened gave unearthed. So i decided to switch things up abit and focus on only rich severite/draconium and titan touched and i got it from a rich severite node

Comment by ingerb

I dont know if it counts or anything I have mined SOOO much since start, but actually not in Warmode.
I began to mine in warmode and I got The Elemental Charged Stone
from a Infurious Serevite Deposit
1 hour of mining in Zaralek Cavern I tried to find the primal nodes, (found 2 and overloaded them, didnt do anything)
But tried to keep to the special nodes in the cavern. Titan touched , Metamorphic and the Infurious ones.

Comment by Celinepeon

Today (27/09/23) I received a Heated Ore Sample within the first few minutes of mining and an Elementally Charged Stone after about probably another fifteen minutes of mining. I consumed the Heated Ore Sample straight away and did not delete it like other comments are suggesting. Goodluck :)

Comment by cryin247

Just got one at 95 Mining from a regular Serevite Deposit, no special tools, and only other knowledge gains were the 5 Iridescent Ore Fragments.

Comment by Miniegun

Looted one from a Rich Serevite Deposit in Ohn'naran Plains. Had the 5 Iridescent Ore Fragments, the Iridescent Ore and a Heated Ore Sample in my bags when I picked it up. Not sure if having the items is related as I got the herbalism item without having the same.

Comment by Mrakolov

Don't mine Primal, Molten, or Hardened deposits to exclude Heated Ore Sample and Unyielding Stone Chunk.

Comment by sarahlogic

To get credit for learning this for the new mining profession achievement Geologist's Ledger: Dragon Isles, I use a level 60 character with no mining skill points or knowledge since I was not able to quickly find it again on my trained gatherer. I got it at mining level 29 from a serevite ore deposit in the Azure Span. I did not avoid any special types of ore. I was using standard green profession tools and the pickaxe had the finesse stat.

Comment by Kryzza

I must be super unlucky. been farming it for two weeks now.
got my iridescent ore (and of course fragments) within an hour of flying and mining.
not a single elementally charged stone since.... im getting frustrated... am I missing something?

Edit: Just dropped for me from a simple serevite deposit

An all-in-one macro to check if the following items have been completed for the week:

Draconic Treatise on Mining x1
Iridescent Ore Fragments x5
Iridescent Ore x1
/run local t={"Crafted",74106,"Blue 1",72160,"Blue 2",72161,"Blue 3",72162,"Blue 4",72163,"Blue 5",72164,"Purple",72165}for i=1,#t-1,2 do print(t,C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(t)and "\124cff00ff00Yes" or "\124cffff0000No")end

Items with no weekly limit are the following:

Elementally Charged Stone
Unyielding Stone Chunk
Heated Ore Sample

Comment by Laika18

Got this from a regular serevite node while leveling a toon with zero profession equipment after getting Iridescent Ore. Before getting the drop, I had previously looted Unyielding Stone Chunk so confirming as others have that you can get both. Had previously farmed unsuccessfully for ~10 hours on a max-level toon with BIS equipment, trying both perception and finesse stats. In other words, this definitely feels completely random.

Edit 4/8/24: It's been a few weeks since I did my gathering, but this week I had 3 Elementally Charged Stone drop by the time I finished collecting my Iridescent Ore. Not sure if drop rate has changed.
