world drops can make you huge bank, especially recipe items.

Haha grats man! I am glad I thought to check for pricing on that on the AH vs. letting you mail it to my tailor! I would have felt crappy if I'd learned that stupid pattern when there was 2.5k gold to be had for it!

That Krol Blade I had on there sold for 200g. It's crappier than most of the blue drops I've seen but the words Krol Blade were in purple so it must be awesome!

I guess! But come on! This isn't some uber magical item or even some semi-unique (albeit worthless) companion pet. It's a shirt.

Yeah, I would of paid it. I have been dying to get that damn shirt since release. I am not kidding when I say this: I check the AH every morning and every night to see if it's up for sale.

Congrats to you for the uber pay out, but ULTRA congrats to the lucky player who bought!

For the record, I'd pay up to 5k for it. Money is easy to come by in this game, but random is random! tongue

So it's not the same as some of the other purple drops out in the world? That hurricane bow (around level 37) I got every time from random mobs in Tanaris, some purple shield in the 40s I always got from random mobs in Feralas, etc? This is some other category of drop.

that is an insane price. on my server these regularly sell for ~400g. they are up regularly.

but it seems to make perfect sense that items like that would sell for a higher price than even armor/weapons. a recipe is something that does not ever get replaced, and shirts are something that you can use at any level. if i were a tailor i would pay 1000 or so for it without hesitation even if i never was going to craft the item just to complete my recipe list!
