1. Used as tokens to exchange SWP drops for equivalent pieces usable by other specs.
2. Primary reagent for the Sunwell Plateau craftable BoEs.
Dropped by trash mobs in Sunwell Plateau. The new Heart of Darkness.
Are these useful now (patch 7.0 and beyond)?
These items drop in [zone=4075], and most often get vendored these days. However, they can be useful if obtaining colour variations of various drops for your transmog collection!
[npc=25977], a vendor at [50.2, 28.2] on the coast of Isle of Quel'Danas, directly north and slightly west of Sun's Reach, sells colour variations of various drops from [zone=4075].
For example, [item=34339] drops from [npc=25315]. If you pay 1 Sunmote + [item=34339] (the dropped helm acts as "currency" here), you can buy [item=34405], which has a completely different colour scheme. Thus, you will have added the [item=34339] AND the [item=34405] appearances to your collection!
Also for transmoggers, Sunmote is used in a number of crafted recipes for transmoggable gear (6 Sunmote per item). Be forewarned, the material cost of these items is quite high and requires quite a bit of gathering of old-world materials (or gold spent on the Auction House).
