wow Last Chance to Claim Shadowlands Pre-Patch Event Rewards!

[Stan 5,240]

The pre-patch event ends on Tuesday with the launch of Shadowlands, so this is your last chance to claim the rewards before they get removed from the game.

You don't need to buy Shadowlands to participate in the event!

• Papa's Mint Condition Bag is a 34-slot bag that drops from Bronjahm, an Elite in Icecrown that you can find at 71,38. He's up only once every 200 minutes, and the drop chance is small, so it will take a while before you get your bag. Check out this site to see when Bronjahm spawns next.
• Putrid Geist is a battle pet that you can purchase for 20 Argent Commendations, a currency from daily quests in Icecrown.
• 
• Catch-up gear of Item Level 100, on par with Normal difficulty Ny'alotha, can be purchased for 15 Argent Commendations, each from quartermasters in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. If you want to purchase the whole set, you will need to gather 135 Argent Commendations.
• Icecrown Elites drop Item Level 110 gear, and Blizzard reduced the timer to 10 minutes.
• Accursed Keepsake is an upgraded Haunted Memento that has a small chance to drop from any Icecrown Elite. It spawns a ghost that follows you when you have the item in your inventory. Both items interact with each other.

Just a reminder too that the Geist is cageable, so you can store tons of these in your bank and sell them off later on when the price goes up, as it will not be available once the pre-patch event ends.

With how many people are taking part in this, the Geist is unlikely to ever be worth any meaningful amount of gold, honestly. You'd be better off with other ways of farming gold

It's just something to spend Argent Commendations on that will become useless currency after the event is over, given how many rares I've been killing across multiple alts while catching up on Netflix. Maybe they will sit in my bank forever, or maybe they'll go up in value due to how many people feel this is a craptastic pre-patch event and are sitting it out. Maybe it's the Left Shark of pets, and I'll put so many in the guild bank my GM threatens to kick me again.

Keep in mind this is the exact same thing people thought during the legion pre patch and now people still have hundreds of those bats in their Banks and they don't even sell on the auction house anymore

The Legion pre patch pets still aren't selling for much. Still the best way to spend the extra currency but be prepared to sit on them a long time.

I'm hanging onto this currency....you never know what they may do with it in the future...

[Ragingwolf 310]

Ignoring the event entirely just not interested in spending hours hunting rare spawns, doing dailies, or pet/xmog collecting.  Just officially finished with BFA entirely and ready to start my grind again in Shadowlands.

Yep. The nethershards (or whatever they were called) from Legion pre-patch ended up being a currency used once they opened up the Broken Shore patch.

That s not accurate. When prepatch is over the amount of pets are gonna be limited. A lot of people are gonna sell them for small amounts of golds and, eventually, there s gonna be few of this pets. It may take 10 years or so, but, with time they will be worth a good amount of gold. That happens with all the stuff that is limited in this game (think in the bear from blizcon or the haunted memento). Low offer: high price.

Exactly. Haunted Mementos were easy to come by for a few years after WotLK launched, and in BfA they funded my longboi.
