Being a fairly new master BE on Kettemoor, I have finally started to craft a lot more. What I want to know is there a market for BE pets, or is it more of a custom order type thing? Cause I have a MCH on Flurry, and did not really go and tame a lot of pets since BE pets were so much more superior. But I did not go vendor searching for them, since what you are looking for may be a lot different than what somebody else wants. So I custom ordered all of my pets.
Thanks for the info

I've been selling a lot of pets. It tends to go in spurts and different pets sell faster than others...cats and rancors sell the best.

I prefer the custom order right now. Actually, I have a MCH on Kettemoor and I've been trying to get some BEs to make a CL70 in kima skin, already got a kimo. But most popular skins so far has been rancor, kima, razor cat, kimo. I think I like the kimo for drawing out since theyreact slowly and thus won't go charging into the crowd. I also like the kima since its size is good for cave crawling or groups. The rancor is just the "I'm a big bad MCH" type of look.
There's a bit of sales yetfor good pets. I think things should die down soon enough though as post pub pets become more in abundance. Done close to 20 custom orders andclose to20 non-custom. If I had a vendor I'dhave alot more sales. I try to keep prices down tho since these same MCHs will probably want new ones when specials get fixed, and there's not much work involved right now. Hitting CL70 almost every time.

I'll echo this. I've sold hundreds of pets in front of starports. I didn't even have any out for people to see. Just setup a macro yelling about custom made non-ch mounts and cats and watch the line form. On all the servers I've wandered around on there seems to be a lack of pet makers selling decent or custom pets. I suspect many people just get the pets they want from their guild BE, but what about all the people without giulds or a guild BE?
It's also kinda cool to see the reaction people have when you ask them what color they want their razor cat.
