Volatile Fire Farming
This guide will list the places where I found the most [Volatile Fire]. One thing I noticed while farming Volatiles Fire is that sometimes you farm for 15 minutes and you don't get a single Volatile, this is just bad luck, don't get discouraged.
So, where to farm Volatile Fire?
Volatile Fire
Twilight Highlands
Twilight Highlands is the best place to farm Volatile Fire. Kill Enslaved Infernos and combine it with fishing in Pool of Fire.
If your fishing skill is only 1, you can still fish in Pool of Fire. Each Pool of Fire contains 2-4 catches, each of which will be 1 or 2 Volatile Fire. The location have 4 pool spawning points. No more than 2 pools will be visible at one time, and none may be visible if pools have recently been fished empty. Pools respawn approximately 12-15 minutes. You can find the Pools around Lord Canon.
This is how the Pool of Fire looks like. The Pools are farmed by a lot of players. If you can do this alone, you will get 100+ Volatile Fire in an hour, try this at between 3-5 AM.
Mount Hyjal
Flame Ascendants in Mount Hyjal have low HP and they respawn instantly most of the time. I was often able to kill 5-6 at the same spawning point, because the mob respawned before I even looted it.
There is also another Pool of Fire location in Mount Hyjal, you can't find any mobs there, so lower levels can farm Volatile Fire there. Here is a picture.
Twilight Highlands
Unbound Emberfiends in Twilight Highlands is another good alternative, these are a lot harder to kill than the mobs in Mount Hyjal.

So, where to farm Volatile Air?
Volatile Air
Uldum
Uldum is the best place to farm Volatile Air. Start killing Scion of Al'Akir, there is a lot there and they have a very quick spawn rate. They got around a 12% drop chance of Volatile Air.
There are also Sweeping Winds around this area, and they also drop Volatile Air, but the mobs are a bit more spread out than Scion of Al'Akir.
If you are an Engineer, you can farm Volatile Air with [Electrostatic Condenser], but only if you have a gathering profession.
Alchemists can use [Transmute: Living Elements] to transmute Volatile Life into any other Volatile. Typically, when you use Transmute: Living Elements, you will receive 14-16 random Volatile elements (Volatile Air, Volatile Earth, Volatile Water, or Volatile Fire) in exchange for 15 Volatile Life.
If you use this transmute while in one of the new Cataclysm zones associated with the Elemental Planes, however, the element into which your Volatile Life will transform will be predetermined.
This means if you use Transmute: Living Elements while in Uldum, you will always receive Volatile Air for your efforts.
Volatile Water Farming
This guide will show you the best place where I found the most [Volatile Water]. One thing I noticed while farming Volatiles Water is that sometimes you farm for 15 minutes and you don't get a single Volatile, this is just bad luck, don't get discouraged.
So, where to farm Volatile Water?
Volatile Water
Twilight Highlands
You can get Volatile Water by killing Muddied Water Elementals in Twilight Highlands.
If you have fishing, you can also get Volatile Water by fishing in pools in any nodes in any Cataclysm area.
Alchemists can use [Transmute: Living Elements] to transmute Volatile Life into any other Volatile. Typically, when you use Transmute: Living Elements, you will receive 14-16 random Volatile elements (Volatile Air, Volatile Earth, Volatile Water, or Volatile Fire) in exchange for 15 Volatile Life.
If you use this transmute while in one of the new Cataclysm zones associated with the Elemental Planes, however, the element into which your Volatile Life will transform will be predetermined.
This means, if you use Transmute: Living Elements while in Vashj'ir, you will always receive Volatile Water for your efforts.
