Make Some Quick Gold During The Feast of Winter Veil

The Feast Of Winter Veil has arrived. So this is a great time to try and make some extra gold/silver. There is a quest to get Grandfather Winter 5 gingerbread cookies and cold milk. In order to get those cookies you either need to make them, which is quite easy since the cooking skill for the cookies and egg nog is set to 1. Or you can simply buy them off the AH, though be warned the eggs and cookies are, well overpriced in my opinion...

Now you may be wondering... Where do small eggs drop? There is a few places, if you are not sure where you might like to go, check out: http://thottbot.com/ When you go to the site just type "Small Egg" into the search engine. 2 items will appear, click on the one that says "Small Egg" With doing this easy task you will be able to see the recipes it goes in, user comments and all the beast that drop the eggs. Each beast has a drop percent and location listed. With that being said though out of the list at Thotbot I have only farmed small eggs from Westfall on a level 70, it didn't take long at all and I got 63 eggs. Aside from that my character is a miner, the birds are not always together anyway so you need to do some traveling to find some of them, which means along the way I was able to mine. This would be great for a herbalist as well, since herbs can be found the same way mines are.

It won't make you rich but you should be able to grind up some gold by collecting gathering materials (If you have one of those professions) If not then you can at least make money from the eggs if you decide to sell them.

How much gold you make is up to you and the market pretty much. Not everyone is going to be interested in buying the eggs or cookies. People who have played for a decent amount of time probably are out farming the eggs and selling them. I always sell under the price of the previous auction, not to low or high. But not insane either... Plus where it is Christmas time in game this will be the most popular time for these items to sell like crazy. I think it is still good to do some research though in your local AH. Go in search “Small Egg” and “Gingerbread Cookie” just to make sure they are being sold and for a decent price. In my opinion it is a waste of time farming if neither item is selling decently... It is good to be careful with your pricing too though, I noticed almost daily that the prices are changing quite a bit on both items.

To be save I only sold 2 sets of 5 eggs together and 4 sets of 5 gingerbread cookies together. I wanted to make sure it sold. I probably did underprice my eggs a bit to much but the cookies seemed to be in a good place, price wise.



Here is a picture showing my auctions.

So in total I made 16 gold. Keep in mind I had more eggs. To save up farming time I acctually sent the eggs to my other characters for they could make cookies for the quest. 16 gold is not that bad though, esspecially for a low level. Combine that with other farming techniques like cloth, ore, leather or herbs then you should be able to walk out with a decent amount. Again though it really depends on your servers AH prices, how many people are farming and if the item is in demand or not for the most part. Oh and of course your level. Lower level ussually takes longer (since you would be making smaller pulls) don’t let that get you down though. If you are appropriate level then you can still get some xp from the kills!

Anyhow hopefully this helps you all get some more gold.
