This NPC is the reward for the rarest card from The Hunt For Illidan,He acts like a normal Non-combat pet but when you kill something it exchanges it's soul for Ethereal Credit,with wich you can buy his items.He is summoned from the Soul-Trader Beacon,The "money" wich you get can be used for items,for example an Ethereal Suit!

Commento di CH1CKEN

You need to kill a mob that rewards XP (green, yellow, red). Gray mobs don't give you Ethereal Credit .

Best place I've found to farm these Credits for this guy is in the mines of Alterac Valley.

Around 80 mobs per mine

But if you kill the mobs to fast you dont always get a credit for each, when I've killed the 5 mob pats the trader has only given me 4 credits. It seems to happen when a mob dies when the trader is stealing the essence from the previous mob.

The ABSOLUTE best place to farm credits for this guy is in Netherstorm at the northern entrance/exit to Manaforge Duro. There are 4 or 5 mana wyrm things that spawn every two seconds or so. They are easy to kill in one shot (Im a HOLY priest, so if I can do it, anyone can!) and easily the fastest way to farm kills. You can get credits as fast as you can cast spells... I farmed over 1000 in an hour.

So I got one today and my guy is like really small. Does he get bigger or level as you kill stuff?

Edit: Nvm, I guess the pic I saw someone used the pet biscuit that turns pets bigger. I'm a tard :P

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but the Buyback function IS available with him, though selling items to him is a no-go.

Commento di 126777

Say you have this guy and you have someone in your group, can that other person also get credits?

Commento di 228582

no he cant get any only you can get credits

Commento di Ryshat

If you buy the Soul Trader garb from him, will that disappear like other summoned items or are they "clothes" you can bank?

Commento di slavikus

Honorable Kills also yield Ethereal Credit. Just checked that on my 19 twink.

Commento di poisonous

How much credit do you get from a single 70 mob?

Commento di 176346

My new favorite place to farm credits is in Storm peaks where you do the "Overstock" daily quest. Pick up the quests in K3 and go drop a bunch of mines down for the enemies (who wont attack you) to run into. Kills stack up quickly with no downtime and the credits add up very quickly.

Commento di Ghakor

An attack-able non-combat pet, however he is immune to all forms of physical damage.

I have had this on my main for a few years now and would LOVE to be able to trade it to one of my alts..have there been any rumors or talks of this or any other TCG loots becomin BoA?

Commento di 401323

After MoP, it got a considerable size reduction, plus with the abilities selection Blizzard did, makes it just an average pet to combat with. Being a proud owner of the EST, was hoping to have the most incredible combats ever, but the reality is that you will be simply disappointed. Still, a lovely collection to have... and still the best companion ever, in my heart at least.

Commento di 1061042

Patch 5.3 PTR patch notes:
"Ethereal Soul-Trader has been returned to his original, larger size."

Yay good news :D

Commento di NukeAlleria

If you are lucky enough to get Ethereal Soul Trader, level him to 25 right away.

Ethereal Soul Trader is awesome in pet battles. His Soulrush spell can defeat opposing pets in one hit. Ethereal Soul Trader is like a heavyweight boxer with a powerful knockout punch.

The Netherwhelp is the only other pet with Soulrush.

Commento di elixis

After much pondering, and realizing that the more you wait to buy him, the rarer he becomes. I didn't want to wait till he gets even more expensive to buy. So I caved in and got me one. All illidan boxes were sold out and are half the price of the card on ebay, and from my research it's a 1/3 chance to get one in a box if you are lucky to find a box. So you are probably better off just buying the card straight up instead of hoping to get luck with the booster packs. He is SOOOO WORTH IT~! Not only is he uber rare and awesome, but he is also a kick-ass pet! His soulrush coupled first with inner vision is a one shot. Partner him with a pet that stops the opponent from stunning you and you are set! Most expensive wow related thing i've bought, but so so so worth it. As a player of wow since release, I don't regret treating me with something I will enjoy and not everyone has.

Commento di elixis

Oh and another observation, when you land, give him a few seconds to come out before killing or else he won't do the soul essence capture. Also I find if you run up to a mob and one shot it and he's too far behind you it won't do it either, so let him catch up to you first.

Commento di Oddyssey

Saw one of these today for the first time. Never even heard of him before, now I'm so jealous! I would love to have one of these, but OMGosh, the cards go for over $200 on ebay! A little too pricey for me. There are two cards currently on ebay, if anyone's feeling rich. ;)

It has the most amazing special effects too... Lots of purple lightening comes out of him to the corpse. A little distracting when in a dungeon, though. But still really cool looking!

Commento di Jazzycakes2

Bought on Frostmourne for 57k... possibly a dupe since he offered me another lol.

Ranged players may find a bit complicated reunite the credits needed to purchase the complete garment this pet sells since you need to fullfill several conditions to obtain a credit:

Soul Trader must be at you side at all times. If you run from one place to other he's usually left behind, so you have to wait for him to be at your side again. Second, both you and him must be near your target at the moment of its dead. And finally, it must be YOU the one who delivers the killing shot: hunter and warlock pets continuously interfere with this, so if possible, dismiss your pet. AoE traps or effects also reduces your chance to receive a credit, since is the damage over time, not you, the one that kills your target. Also note if you are in a raid or battleground group, same criteria applies. In the middle of fight, no matter how many times you hit your victims, you and Soul Trader must be close to your target (even if you are ranged), and you must be credited for the killing blow, or he won't give you a reward.

Using a hunter of my own I can confirm Soul Trader can extract a corpse's essence from range distance, but very, very rarely happens. Most of time he won't reward you a credit unless he's very close to a corpse, so you can try the range attack method if you want, but may take a lot more time to collect all those credits.

Note the Soul-Trader clothing set almost matches those worn by Consortium members, (its quite similar, but not identical), but does NOT fit well all characters. Orcs, Worgen and Tauren look more like wounded half naked warriors than consortium members. This set looks better on Elf and Human races. Keep this in mind before wasting a lot of time collecting credits for a set you won't like.

As a separated note, nobody has mentioned he glows in the dark. Has a beautiful ghost-like effect similar to spirit beasts. This, plus the fact he's as big as any normal humanoid character, makes this one of the best pets ever. Sadly, on eBay he's very expensive, and usually sells for over 200 bucks. Check the in-game AH regularly instead, since you can easily find him for less than 60k

Commento di ArtemisMedivh

This is my most favorite pet. Its player interaction is like none other. I purchased mine off ebay many years ago for $100... it is now worth much more since the introduction of Pet Battling. It's not the greatest battle pet but it's fun to show off and it is very tall.

I named my level 25 soultrader "Mewtwo"

Commento di stickshift

Can't stop playing my paladin now after she finally got her Judgement Armor mog complete and the next day I blew 47k on the this guy. The two were made for each other.

Edit: Just noticed today (after I renamed him Himura Kenshin) that when he spoke to me it was Himura Kenshin says: I have arrived. Shall we set to work, then? not Ethereal Soul-Trader. Very impressive; I don't know if any other companion is capable of this.

Commento di grundge

Just picked up one of these. I wasn't sure if it was worth it, but after trying him out I have to say OMG it is so much fun to play with.

He is also player size which makes it infinitely cooler. Not a bad battle pet either, I find him very useful. So if you are thinking about getting one, definitely go for it.

Commento di Sethroguen

I bought one on my server (misha) for 55k. Well, alliance side gets bought up so I paid a hordie 60k to buy one on their ah for 55k. Anyway, these are more than likely duped and I'm not sure what blizz is doing about it. I tried to flip mine for profit with no luck, but I did trade it for a lightbringer tabard someone was selling for 100k. Granted i leveled it to 25 but I think it was a good trade.

Commento di SoCalWoWGal

Note that the ability to summon this pet was recently Hotfixed as follows:

•Ethereal Soul-Trader can no longer be summoned while in an Arena or Battleground.

Source: 5.4.8 Hotfixes

Commento di ventarius

Can you summon him in the dungeon and sell junk items?

Commento di Hatredsheart

Another good place to farm for credits is the mouth of the river near the horde base in Twilight Highlands.
The Muddied Water Elementals are 1-shot kills and spawn REALLY fast. As a bonus they also have a chance to drop Volatile Water which at time of writing are going for a silly 25g each on my server. Easy money!

Commento di petevan1970

I don't know if theses are getting duped or not. I bought one on the Fizzcrank AH for 60+k and thought I was getting a deal. There are two on there right now for 26k. Did some where a huge supply of these cards from the card game just appear. I have gotten pets from the card game and it is quit a processes to get it.I really hope Blizzard puts and end to this dupe stuff. It really takes away from the game. "This was just a random rant" But it really is a awesome pet.

Commento di Itsokayimrussian

Bought for 65k, never seen below 100k. Feel like I made off like a bandit to be honest. Coolest pet I've ever owned easily.

Commento di Vainio

I have seen a lot of comments about best places to farm credits, (to me at least) it seems the best place as of late MoP is Pools of Purity in north western Valley of the four Winds, the little turtles called "Razorback snapper" have around 36k health, one or two attacks is enough to kill them and they do hardly any damage, just remember to use single target attacks or EST won't be able to harvest all the souls.

Commento di Vainio

After having had my EST for a little while and seeing a lot of people talking about having problems with quick kills not registering and having to be at a certain range to the pet/kill, I decided to make a little video showing the status of these problems in late MoP.

http://youtu.be/zkd0n-v80pU?list=UUn69sfMhEmsW8NKNOQfK8WA

It seems the problems have been fixed.

Commento di aspasito

Buying this pet in game is easier on some servers, usually non-English ones. I've snatched mine from a very crowded German-speaking server, creating a noob hunter there equipped with LW/Mining and grinded for few weeks, finally bought mine (you can also sell pets you've acquired with your main on the server in question).

(Also snatched 2-3 other quite rare pets, still continuing to do so whenever I have enough gold piled up)

While deciding my server I've used the Undermine Journal site, which I've learnt has shut down until WoD, but I'm guessing any insanely popular server will do.

Commento di Cletelcharnal

Today I believe I found the very best spot for farming ethereal credits for MoP. The Explosive Hatred mobs around Waterspeaker's Sanctuary, in Inkgill Mere, Kun-lai Summit have only 86k hp and they are 87 level which are useful for anyone above 85 level to farm credits. They have insane spawn rate. If you are a ranged class it is even better. Stand on a rock and keep killing mobs one by one, you don't even have to move. I farmed 250 ethereal credits in 12 minutes 34 seconds with one mana break and one self healing.

p.s.: I'd like to show it on map, but first post as a wowhead user. Sorry for that.
