Pets on World Of Warcraft are more useful than just a cute accessory for your character, they can also be a good source of gold if you play your cards right.
White Kittens are a good example, you can buy these from Lil Timmy for 60s each, he wanders around Stormwind selling these limited supply pet, so it can be quite difficult to obtain, but it’s certainly worth it because you can sell White Kittens for 100g to 250g on the alliance side, and up to 500g if you know how to do cross-faction trading and sell it on the horde side.
But if you think thats a huge gold-maker, you should take a look at the Black Tabby! The Black Tabby is a horde only or horde specific cat. Its only available as a drop from Dalaran Spellscribes who are found in Horde territory, in Silverpine Forest. The Spellscribes are level 21 mages who spawn every 4 hours.
Black Tabbys aren’t very hard to acquire, the drop rates are quite high, but you do need patience because of the 4 hour spawning time of the Dalaran Spellscribes. Make sure that your character is at least level 20, so you won’t have a hard time killing this mob.
The Dalaran Spellscribe will appear at one of 3 spawn points within Amber Mill in Silverpine. The first spot is the second shack to the left when youre standing in the entrance to the compound. The second spawn point is the largest room of the main building that should be right in front of you. The third one is in the building furthest to your right.
This is not as boring or time-consuming as it might seem, you don’t have to sit there all day waiting for the Dalaran Spellscribe to re-spawn. All you have to do is log in every few hours to check, use a macro or type “/target dalaran” to see if he is around. If he is, just kill him and get your loot, log off then back on in 4 hours to repeat the process.
If you keep doing this, youll be able to get 3 or more a week. And like I said earlier, these are very rare items. You will be able to get at least 500g to 600g if you just sell it on the horde side auction house. The real money, however, is in cross-faction trading. If you can sell these Black Tabbys in the neutral auction house or even on the alliance auction house, you will probably be able to make around 1500g to 2500g for each Black Tabby.
Black Tabby farming can be a really good gold-making opportunity taking into consideration the fact that it’s not that hard to get. It just takes some consistency and a bit of patience on your part for the constant logging in and checking of spawns.
