PROMOTION: World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (TCG)

Buy It Now:

Rarity:

Ultra-rare

Exclusivity:

Trading Card Game promotion.
Loot code required.

Notes:

This pet, the largest land-based companion to date, is redeemed through the extremely rare 'Ethereal Plunderer' loot card from the World of Warcraft The Hunt for Illidan TCG expansion. The card may be scratched to reveal a code allowing a single character access to this pet. The code may be redeemed at Blizzard's promotion retrieval page. The pet may be obtained in-game from Landro Longshot in Booty Bay.

This pet doubles as a specialized vendor. When its owner kills a mob that grants experience or honor, the Ethereal Soul-Trader will "harvest its soul", yielding a small amount of Ethereal Credits to the owner. In exchange for this currency, the following items may be purchased:

Soul-Trader Armor Set - six equippable items that form traditional ethereal garb.
Diluted Ethereum Essence - a consumable that grants the ability to detect Lesser Invisibility (does not detect invisible players).
Ethereal Essence Sphere - an electrical ball that may be thrown to other players.
Ethereal Liqueur - a very strong alcoholic beverage.
Ethereal Mutagen - used to transform a companion pet into a Flesh Beast.

Note that you cannot sell your unwanted items to the Ethereal Soul-Trader.

Breanni Says:

Hah! Take that Yeti! Finally, a companion pet that dwarfs even you! You're not so imposing anymore, Yeti. In fact, with this guy at my side, I can smite you down! And when your broken body falls, the Ethereal will harvest your soul! But then, you don't even have a soul, do you, Yeti? You're just a mindless wind-up toy, made with shoddy parts and broken dreams! I want your head, Yeti! I want— *snaps out of it* Whoah... sorry 'bout that, folks. These big pets always make me a little... unstable.

A fun thing to do with this pet is to put all the clothes on that he sells and baby spice yourself. At the same time, give him a pet biscuit and your roles are reversed! Now the pet is the master and you are the pet. As an undead even without the spice I come up to his knee when he has biscuit buff.

This pet gets the most questions and comments from people who see it, bar none. And the question is always "how do you get ethereal soul credits?" It being a vendor immediately gets attention from everyone!

I love this pet. Especially the Mutagen he sells.. I wish we could get an actual pet with the fiend model! I also think it would be cool if he sold an item (or if the clothes had a use effect?) like the Frenzyheart Brew or Orb of the Sin'dorei and Deception. Only his would turn you in an Ethereal!

The Ethereal Essence Sphere, like all throwing objects in the game can appear in you bag before the graphic shows it making it you. The difference with the sphere is that is so slow that you can out run it by foot and take the one in you bag and throw it back, creating two spheres out of one. In one raid we did this about one hundred times with just 3 spheres and everyone in the raid say about a hundred glowing balls flying around. Note that new people to the scene will not see the spheres.

Having this pet out in a heroic where you are constantly looting bodies etc, might cause problems being able to open him as a vendor, since he is always click able. Or unless you use your pets for annoyances-which is great too!

I just found out that you can sell the stuff you get from him back to him and get your credits back in full. I don't think its like the oter stuff where you only have two hours to do it either.

I found that you can collect Ethereal credits quite quickly doing lots of the kinda quests in wotlk where you use cannons/dragons or similar to kill big bunches of mobs.

Pet fetch ball works great with this guy. Even now I would say that most wow players have never seen this pet. I have great fun stealthing around with him following me (usually with 1 or 2 people frantically chasing after him trying to buy stuff hah)

a fun fact about one of his items, the Ethereal Mutagen, is that when used on certain minipets it doesn't "completely transform them".
f.e., if you use it on the Ethereal soul-trader himself, he will still be able to "harvest" souls, complete with the purple lazor beam, so you'll have a fleshbeast shooting lazors!
also, yesterday i used in on the temporary pet, the "macabre marionette", and although transformed, it still had the shakers in its hand, wich was quite hilarious.

A good place for a high-level character to farm Ethereal Credits on Northrend is in southwest Sholazar Basin where there are opposing camps of Frenzyheart Wolvar and Oracle Murlocs. If you have gained reputation with one of those two factions then fight the other. The NPCs have fairly low health and strength (considering their high-70s levels), and drop small amounts of cash silver, scrolls, and potions. They respawn quickly in large numbers.

I've gotten a lot of double-takes in the game from having this big, glowing Consortium member following me around.

As an oddity, I noticed this pet will not board a ship with you.

I was a little bummed to find I could not use the pet grooming kit on him, and not surprised to find I could not use either of the leashes on him. However, I was amused to discover that not only do the yarn fetch balls work on him, but he carries them back in what would be his "mouth", instead of, say, his hands. It's pretty funny-looking. ^ ^

It is not yet noted in the description above, but this pet is now available through Landro's Pet Box as a random chance drop. The drop rate is low, and you will not see a rare pet if you already own it (making it hard to track opening statistics). But it is an alternative to the current prices of $150+ on eBay if you have UDE points to burn :)
