MOP Prep: Pokewow Part 1

One of the most controversial subjects and new 'game features' in Mists of Pandaria are the pet battles.  Players have called it 'Pokewow',  others are excited with a completely new idea to enjoy between raiding and leveling.

Here at JMTC central were in the middle.   Where the pet battles will not be mythos changing,  and I have my doubt that there will be any epic battles of Leaping Hatchling vs Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot,  I can see where there will be enjoyment for many with this new concept.

The important thing for gold goblins will be to know what you can sell on the open market and what you cannot sell.   Big plans were dashed by the wayside when Blizzard announced that wild pets would not be able to be caged and traded/sold.   This could easily be a temporary ban on selling them til players have caught up with the traveling experience that Blizzard is interested in players obtaining.   Perhaps in a later patch these wild catches will be able to be traded, trained and sold.

Now is the time to be prepared.  Knowing what pets can be crafted for sell is vitally important to your gold making profits.

Engineering

Pet Bombling (obtained from Gnomeregan drop)
Lil Smoky (obtained from Gnomeregan)
Lifelike Mechanical Toad (very rare recipe)
Mechanical Squirrel Box
Tranquil Mechanical Yeti
Personal World Destroyer
De-Weaponized Mechanical Companion

Enchanting:

Enchanted Lantern

None of these pets require exotic materials.   Gold bars for the gold power cores in the Lifelike Mechanical Toad to Volatile Airs for the manufacturing of Electrified Ether to craft Personal World Destroyer.   Having these materials saved in your banks now will raise your profits at the end of the Mists of Pandaria Rush.

A few specific materials you should be looking to invest in if you are an enchanter are Maelstrom Crystals.  These are dropping quickly as more and more epics are Disenchanted.  They are vital for the creation of the Enchanted Lantern pet creation which already goes for a hefty markup with cross faction sales.   Buying Maelstrom Crystals now will prevent the wave of demand later from overtaking you.

All of these pets are going to be necessary if you want to have a strong Engineering/Enchanting pet business. This in no way means that you these are must have professions to be able to make gold with pets.   I will go into more detail tomorrow on exactly what strategy,  pricing and which pets to look to sell first.

Also speaking of pets,  Blizzard has cut their Pandaren Monk Pet to $5.00 US.  Unfortunately this pet isn't trade-able (yet) but it's still an interesting pet you can use to battle.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
