A quest hung over Mommar here.
Sometimes holidays just roll in with no fanfare because it's overshadowed by other events. My family goes through this every year. One of my parents has their birthday the same month as Christmas. In fact it's 2 days before Christmas. So you can imagine that for convenience any type of party we have ends up being combined with tinsel and Christmas trees.
The same thing happened this week with the World of Warcraft Harvest Festival being overshadowed by the Starting of the Mists of Pandaria Expansion. This isn't a great loss because the Harvest Festival does not have many quests or rewards connected to it. No Boss battles per day to take on, and you only have to travel to Felwood to deliver a package for the Honoring a Hero Quest.
But the interesting thing about these events is that where a Gold Goblin might not be able to always make direct money with them. The opportunity to save money with them does exist. When you complete the quest line you receive a gift in the mail. The Bounty Of The Harvest is a food generator that can be used by that character (both the gift and the items crafted are Bind on Pickup).
I have always been open to the idea of being a packrat of sorts. I very rarely throw something useful away. So as I was travelling on one of my characters into Pandaland, I noticed I had a Winter Veil Cookie in my bag. If you never picked this up you remember that the old text had a 3% health/mana recovery and raising in stats.
(this is the level 55 new version).
The Level 85 version gives 99000 Health/Mana over 30 seconds plus 27 to all statistics. Not a bad heft for a free item that most people throw away.
During the Harvest Festival you receive inside your Bounty of the Harvest gift:
Harvest Boar
Harvest Fish
Harvest Nectar
Where these are not as powerful as the Winter Veil Cookie they can save the ire of your Mage when you continually have to ask them for water or food.
This takes a relatively inconsequential holiday into something that ends up being viable for Gold Goblins
as they continue on their trip through Mists of Pandaria and farther. With Brewfest upcoming in the
this week, take a second look at all those "worthless" food items and look at your long range goals.
Saving money to a Gold Goblin is just as good as making money.
Good Luck and Good Hunting
