Thread: what are pets worth

you might be surprised, I know some armorsmiths that are billioneres. Can anyone tell me what the Queen gaping spider is worth especially.
Whatever the market will bear.
Seriously, I have no idea what someone might be willing to pay for one of these. I know that I'd rather find it and tame it myself, or receive it as a gift from a friend (how I got my GSH and my rancor) than buy it from someone.
Pricing all depends on what is wanted most, and by whom.
Back when Graul Maulers were not spawning very often, I was selling normal Grauls for 35K even though I was being offered more at times. When Mounts first came out I saw simple Dewbacks going for over 100K, and I was offered 75K for a Giant Carrion Spat just because it was mountable at tame.
Now that the "dabblers" are out of CH due to the "Rebalance" the market for Wild Creatures has dwindled. Although I still get tells on occasion asking what I have in stock, which is zip. I haven't sold a creature since the Graul days with the exception of the first 2 weeks of mounts.
You can post a price check on your server trade forum to see if there was an interest in the creatures you have, and you might get a few offers while doing that. Not really a way to tell, just aim high and be willing to negotiate a little bit until you figure out what is worth more on your server.
Good luck,
Yeah, back when non-CHs (aka Muggles) could command cowardly gurrecks, 1k per CL was established as the rule of thumb for setting a price. This could of course vary based on demand for the pet; less demand, price goes down, higher demand (like the mad night of the mount publish) price goes up. In the case of a ridable at this very minute dewback, waaaaaaay up. Mount pets that night were going for 100k, as high as 350k in my personal experience. I would not be the least bit surprised if even more was being offered for ridable pets that night. It was just insane.
It felt good to be riding a dewback around that night, let me tell you. It felt even better to be able to equip members of my PA with carrion spats and brackasets that night to ride around.

I dunno about you guys, but buying a rare pet just isn't as fun as going on the hard and painful search for it. Sure, its a pain in the ass, but there is the sense of 'WOOT I DID IT', such as when I just got my two Wasteland Cu Pas.
I agree. on both the pain and accomplishment feelings
