This year for the start of the Winter Veil we get the same thing we've been getting every year, presents! Well this year there's one thing that's a bit different and that is the fact that you can make gold by simply opening your presents from Grandfather Winter, that's usually found in your faction capital.
The thing that's different this year that's making this to have the potential to be a gold maker is the change Blizzard did when they made the seasonal BoP pets to be BoE tradables. What this means is that after you've opened up your presents, to be more precise your Gaily Wrapped Present inside you will find a Snowman's Kit which's is a companion.
Tricky part about this companion is that everyone can get it by simply picking up his presents, but you have to think on a larger scale. What i mean by this is, after this event is over people that are starting new characters, or even new players that jump in the game will want their pets, and the only way to get it would be from the AH, and that's where you come in. Just so you are clear on this one thing though, don't expect any fast gold, but seeing as how it doesn't cost you a single copper to acquire get a few in stock for a later date or a summer sale.
So if you have an alt that you haven't played in a while, log on get your present, get your pet and then log out as there is no need for your alt that you don't play to not make you some coin down the road some time.
P.S. I didn't notice earlier but the Gaily Wrapped Present can contain Green Helper Box, Jingling Bell, and Red Helper Box on top of the Snowman's Kit. So this means that these pets no matter how easy to obtain will not be obtainable with only one character so you can see some sales from people wanting to have all of them.
So, like always, keep an eye out for good opportunities out there.
The Gaily Wrapped Present actually contains one of four companions, not necessarily the Snowman Kit.
ReplyDeleteThey were already BoE before, not just starting this year.
You must be level 20+ to receive a Gaily Wrapped Present under the tree.
Hmm, i think they used to be BoP like the other Seasonal Pets. Like the pumpkin companion got changed during the last event with the headless horseman.
ReplyDeleteThey've actually been BoE for quite some time. I've sold 80 of these or so the last year, with next to no competitors, so its a great tip!
ReplyDeleteWell what do you know ... i made a great tip on a false information :) but hey a great tip is a great tip
ReplyDeleteAgreed! And even if someone might call it "old" information, new people come to read great blogs like your own quite often ;)
ReplyDeleteKeep it going, Vile, yours is one of the blogs i do enjoy reading!
@harleqin it's comments like yours that make me enjoy writing on my blog
ReplyDeleteIt might be a good idea to pick up the cooking recipes for Egg Nog and Gingerbread Cookies in bulk. Then slowly trickle them into the AH over the next 11 months
ReplyDeleteI mean since you're next to the Christmas tree and all. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Preserved Holly could also be a potential proft source since you're getting some from a present
ReplyDeleteI did sell a few of those in the past, but they are so so slow to move it's not even funny.
ReplyDeleteBut for sure, there IS profit to be made from it somewhere down the road
