This month’s most Popular WoW Guide
When I was grinding on my main in Sholazar Basin in Northrend during Wrath of the Lich King, I remember the set of daily quests that were given by the Oracles Faction. Doing multiple days of dailies I finally reached revered with them and visited their quartermaster. The prize was mine. My First Mysterious Egg.
So why was this egg so important? Wrath was the expansion that had a huge rush to gain new mounts. From tigers to bears to proto-drakes. Everyone wanted a new mount to fly around in the middle of their home city.
But the 2nd prize for opening these eggs (they took 7 days of sitting in your bags or bank to 'open' was what we will be concentrating on now. After shortening the sitting time in your inventory to 3 days you could get:
Cobra Hatchling
Proto Drake Whelp
Tickbird Hatchling
White Tickbird Hatchling
Most players will burn through Sholazar Basin with their new toons, and experienced players generally do not return to old areas they've been at. So this is a win/win for us gold goblins. Pets are going to be a huge gold mine, and the more rare the pet the more gold they will be worth to train. Occasionally you will get a yolk (get it, the yolks on you) but either gaining them this way or flipping them from the AH will provide a nice cash income for your future pet training business.
The other pet area is the Ghostly Skull found in the sewers in Dalaran.
If you go to Darahir in the sewers you can purchase the Ghostly Skull for 10g. Most players either didn't know about this pet (shhhhh don't tell them) or they don't realize that this pet will be cageable and saleable (and a caged skull, how goth is that?)
There are other pets that will be saleable that are rare simply because of their placement in areas that noone ever goes to again. Or that they take so long to finish up the quests that players will have moved on from the area never to return. Taking advantage of these areas will up your pet gold making skills
and put you on the gold goblin elite list.
Wanted to clarify one thing with this. The Ghostly Skull isn't currently BOE, it's still BOP and is not
Tradeable. It will become tradeable when Mists of Pandaria opens up and you can place these trained
pets in cages and sold on the AH or via trade chat. The pets from the Oracle eggs are currently BOE
and can be traded now. But your profits will go higher if you wait til Mists of Pandaria and train them
a few levels before sales.
