Anyway, you will have to grind in order to finish this endeavor, but if you follow the below guide, at least you won’t have to look in places you won’t find what you are looking for. Here is how to get magma core in World of Warcraft Dragonflight.
How to Get Magma Core
Whether you want a magma core collection in your inventory or you are quested with finding magma cores in order to gather fuel for a certain forge, gathering magma cores can be somewhat confusing. That is because you don’t get much information regarding its location or where to get it from exactly. But, if you do some imagining, you could figure out that you need to travel to places that are close to lava. And yes, that place in particular is The Walking Shores.
Each of the creatures below can be found there (with a few exceptions) and each will drop magma cores, so go ahead and pick the ones that are most convenient. In this case, the Lava Slug have a lot of population available and can be seen together quite often. You can also search for Lava Bursters since they have the most drop chance percentage of the creatures that are able to drop magma cores.
