Take, for example, the earth elementals below us; inside every earth elemental is an earthen core, dense in precious metal!.Oh, how I wish this were true. Clearly he's never actually played WoW before...

Description
<Gazmolf gestures at the large machine nearby.> I built this machine to break down elementium minerals into base elements. You see, it's not just what's buried within the ground that can be valuable; but also the ground itself! Take, for example, the earth elementals below us; inside every earth elemental is an earthen core, dense in precious metal!. Those elementals are going to make us rich! Collect several earthen cores, place them in the Gold-O-Matic 9000, and I'll give you a cut!

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
