This is the effect you get from drinking it - https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=53806

So yup i belive you may be correct, if so im making loads of these for my tauren for those instance fights where Taurens are waaaay to big an fill the screen. may work out cheaper than all those Noggenfogger pots ;)

Be nice to get some fun type potions made by Alchemy, why let the engineers have all the fun ;)

But its also used for making other pots so probably need to keep my noggenfogger's stocked up still

Commento di 98874

Probably another item fun for all classes except Druids and, to a lesser extent, shaman.

Commento di 45512

Because shapeshifting probably removes the effect or precludes one from using it.

Commento di 177743

If its a shrink effect i doubt it will be removed by shapeshifting, none of the other things in the game that cause your character to become smaller are dispelled by shapeshifting... that i know of...

This describes what Pygmy Oil does (and the fish you need to make it). If you drink enough Pygmy Oil, you become a Pygmy. This is alters visual appearance, voice and emotes, but with no immunities or obvious combat benefits (aside from size) we could find. Yet.

Often, on Medieval maritime maps of Europe, Greenland (or parts of the Arctic Circle) were filled in with generic coastline, much like Northrend is now. Over this unknown area was sometimes written:

Pygmiae hic habitant

(Pygmies live here)

so with Northrend, we will find these mysterious northern pygmies.

Noggenfogger shrink effect works when I use it and switch into kitty or bear. All shapeshifting removes is polymorph and movement imparing effects.

Commento di Darkharmony

All it really does guys is makes you in to a gnome with a voodoo mask on. With each one you drink you shrink a little bit. After 5 you shrink in to a gnome.

Commento di Larrylaffer

What I don't understand is why "Drink it"? Why not "Drink me" like the Noggenfogger and the other "chew on this and something will happen to you" items?

Commento di 98874

This fish is used by Alchemists to make Pygmy Oil. Each fish makes 1-2 oils. Drinking Pygmy Oil makes you a little smaller for 10 minutes. After drinking 6-10 oils in a row, you gain a buff described as "Pygmified!", which turns you into - you guessed it - a Pygmy for 10 minutes! The buff currently changes appearance, voice and emotes: You become just like a gnome. There are no obvious combat benefits yet, such as immunity to polymorph. For Druids, shapeshifting removes the Pygmified buff (thanks zolani). This may become an alternative to cooked Deviate Fish (Pygmy Suckerfish are probably easier to catch).

Commento di 17624

NOte that this oil is useful for a number of elixirs and similar that you can expect to see in fairly heavy use for raid work. Hence, Pygmy Suckerfish, and this resulting oil, are likely to become fairly popular sellers on the AH.

Commento di 29050

Drinking Pygmy Oil does indeed make you smaller, but not really small - at least not if you stop at one. Each oil you drink will make you incrementally smaller. This skrinkage lasts for 10 minutes.

Drink a number of Pymgy Oils, and you turned into a Pygmy! This is basically a gnome with the old witchdoctor style mask. The number of oils required to drink for this buff varies, but it usually 8-10. Pygmification last for 10 minutes. You are able to mount while pygmified, unlike many shapeshifting buffs.

Pygmy Oil is also a reagent in a number of alchemist made items, including flasks and an alchemists stone.

Pygmy oil is made by alchemists, who create 1-2 oils per Pygmy Suckerfish. Most if not all alchemists should be able to create these oils, as it's trained early in Northrend.

Pygmy Suckerfish are freshwater parasites, and are sometimes found attached to fish caught in open inland water in Northrend (except in Dalaran).

Alice (in Wonderland) drank from a bottle marked "Drink me." The more she drank, the smaller she became. She also ate a cookie marked "Eat me." which had the opposite effect - the more she ate the larger she became. Something to watch out for!

There's already an item marked "Eat Me" in game: Deviate Fish.

Decided to get some of these pygmy suckerfish and make some of these Oils to see what it did. When I read about it before WotLK came out officially I thought it was going to make you smaller like the noggenfogger did. But, of course to my disappointment it doesn't. However, to make up for the loss of smallness you get turned into a pygmy. Which, from the screen shot I uploaded of the Female Pygmy, its not a bad effect, but not totally worth dropping noggenfogger for. Unless you're a gnome lover. :) Nice to give Alchemists something fun, the mad alchemist potion was nice and all, but us alchemists want stuff to play with too!

Haven't tested this on a gnome yet, but it may just leave you a gnome and change your appearance to the pygmy outfit.

Commento di 43740

Minor correction:

It is true that the fish is caught "attached" to another fish.

However, it can be caught in saltwater as well as fresh. So, pretty much anywhere you can fish.

Though I do not know if you can fish one in the Dalaran fountain.

Commento di Cicero

The worst part about this item, other than that alchemists now have to fish their materials up instead of herbing them, is that it doesn't fit in an herb bag. If you want to stockpile these for making flasks, you'll have to waste your regular bag space.

Commento di 137927

I've actually found that making the oils, at least on my server, is a really good money maker. I usually buy 2 stacks of the fish and get around 3-4 stacks of the oil. Since the Oil sells for about the same price as the fish, I end up making my money back and then some. Of course I keep a stack for flasks.

Also, I love the /dance the Pygmy does. It's so... erotic at times. Not sure if that's the female gnome dance or not though.

Commento di 269569

Noggenfogger does work when shapeshifting to kitty or bear, but you have to drink around ten of them to get the right effect.

Commento di Therulnig

These are an alchemist's best consistent source of money.

On most servers I've seen - the Suckerfish sell for roughly the same as the Oil, but you get 2 oils per fish 90% of the time.

This is a much better ratio for profit than any elixir you can make.

Commento di 95264

Once you are a Pygmy you can refresh the buff by drinking another oil.

Commento di 47599

No person in their right mind would rather be a gnome than a kickass ninja or awesome pirate. :)

Commento di 166824

Plus, if you use a Savory Deviate Delight after you transform, you'll stay female as long as you keep refreshing the transform buff.

Commento di Ongaku

Indubitably ;)

Commento di 257010

I think the "Pygmy" effect may in fact have a reference to the WoW Machinima series: "Snacky's Journal"... I believe it was in the third episode that Snacky and Angie went to a Fishing Contest in Booty Bay and ended up being captured by a group of "Pygmy Gnomes" which all had witchdoctor garbs on, although that is just my opinion. Haha.

Commento di Janick

Yes, I can confirm that ferals cannot have fun with this, it cancels shapeshifting if you're currently in a form, and moving to a form cancels the effect.

Commento di 37055

They would probably be called snow gnomes, or "snowmes"

Commento di 37055

It's more likely a reference to real pygmies, which are members of human groups (tribes) whose adult males are less than 150cm tall. Given that gnomes are characterized by their height, its only natural they be considered pygmies in World of Warcraft.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy

Commento di 166285

Anyone know what the maximum "stackage" is for this?

Commento di 274131

Attempting to use an Orb of Deception while transformed fails with "A more powerful spell is already active."

This comment should be voted down. The correction below is accurate.

Commento di 104965

This actually changes your "gender" opposite to what you currently are. So after turning into a gnome with this oil as a male, using a Savory Deviate Delight or Orb of the Sin'dorei will turn into the female version. You turn back into your original gender after the costume fades though.

Commento di Raous

Does this stack with Noggenfrogger?

Commento di 66849

This does stack with Noggenfogger, yes - but drink the Noggenfoggers and get the "small" buff first, since if you drink Pygmy Oils first, Noggenfogger might replace your "Pygmy costume" with the dull skeleton form.
I tried to eat a Small Feast after I had turned small from Noggenfogger Elixir and turned into a gnome from Pygmy Oil but even though the feast buff doesn't replace your Noggenfogger buff, it still doesn't make you any smaller.

But with Noggenfogger and Pygmy buff you're still pretty damn small!

Commento di 89086

Goes great with using https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=34029#.

Commento di 105927

Stacks with both Small Feast and Baby Spice to make you extra small.

Commento di thelasko

THEYRE AFTER ME LUCKY CHARMS

Commento di 304014

Making this an alchemist can be a great income of gold, I usually buy 2 stacks of fish ( rougly 2-3g/stack).
And then procced to turnit into oil getting about 3 stacks oil from 2 stacks of fish and can then sell this for about 20g/stack.
Netting a profit of 54g.

This of course varies from server to server, but you could probaly sqeueeze in a profit with higher fish prices and lower oil prices =)

Commento di triggz

When someone uses the Noble Garden flowers to give you bunny ears, the mask is removed and you get the ears!

Commento di Norina

If you turn into a Pygmy and you are a male, your Patron title will be lost and you will get the Matron instead, until you remove the Pygmy Oil buff.

Commento di ChairmanKaga

If you're trying to screw around and shrink yourself for the lulz and you're a gnome to start with, this stuff is a depressing waste of money. The percentage scaling is so minute, it's virtually unnoticeable until you've drank 5 or 6. And when you hit the point of turning into a pygmy, you actually grow back to your normal height and gain the mask. /target Blizzard; /facepalm.

So if you're a gnome, stick to other proven options.

Commento di Manowas

I role a female Draenei, and I've found that if I use this in Culling of Strath, after the pygmy buff wears out or is removed, I transform into a human male. As if the insult of being turned into a female human wasn't enough.

Commento di Sharburg

Does anyone see the Alice in Wonderland reference at all here? Alice had a drink that said "drink me" and it made her smaller.

Commento di 131361

but does it make you smaller if you're already a gnome?

Commento di egarland

FYI. I just coverted 240 suckerfish into 358 pygmy oil so as you'd expect from a 1-2 it seems to average 1.5 oils per fish

Commento di Zuldim

As a male character, if you use Dire Brew after using enough of this to become a female gnome, you become a female Dark Iron Dwarf.

Commento di Senkrads

Also, it turns out that if one uses enough oil to turn in to the voodoo gnome like creature while inside of CoT:CoS and then remove the buff "Pygmy Oil" you will remain a human of your opposite sex till the run ends or if you die.

Commento di 392562

As a druid, shapeshifting will remove the Pygmy transformation. However, if you only want the shrinking benefits this is safe to use.

Commento di EightBitBus

If you're leveling alchemy, making this is almost a free 15 points. Stacks of the fish go for less than a gold on my server so I bought them and made these until they were grey. 15 points for roughly 2 gold.

Commento di Sluimerstand

In the Gormokk the Impaler encounter, if transformed into a Pygmy the Snobolds won't stay on your back but actually start running around. This may be a way to get Upper Back Pain (10 player) (or Upper Back Pain (25 player)), assuming when the tanks picks them up the Snobolds don't die from AoE.

Also, gaining and removing the Pygmy Oil buff while having the Human Illusion buff from CoT1 and CoT3 will turn you into a Human of the opposite sex.

Commento di 352479

Great thing for making big, easy to spot and easy to target moonkin smaller and increasing his PvP survivability...

Commento di Nordigo

Interestingly, when I ran over a toy train set I noticed my female belf as pygmified suddenly made the male belf /train emote

Commento di Tot9991

If you drink this oil 10 times you transform into a female gnome if you drink more than 10 times is has no effect

Commento di 538316

this drink has extremely hazardous ingredients that make you smaller and smaller
after drinking 8of them i became an uggly pygmy voodoo masked gnome terryfying since im a blood elf!
try it out

Commento di 267121

While making some of these for my potions of speed today, I noticed I would get x2 on some. I am elixir spec'd so I guess these somehow count as elixirs. I bought enough for 20 and ended up with 34.

Commento di 67850

Will not turn you into a gnome if you're below level 70.

Commento di 606954

hi i need help getting the oil if u no how to get it tell me plz thnx

Commento di FauxShizzle

My character is a blood elf female.

When i get the pgymy gnome buff and consume a savory deviate delight, i turn into a male (ninja or pirate).

An easy way to do the always hilarious Saturday Night Fever dance without the woes of a sex change!

Commento di Allakhazam

It's true drinking one of the oil's makes you smaller, but drinking 5 will make you Pygmified!

Pretty much this means it turns you into a gnome with a tribal mask for 10 minutes!
:D

EDIT: First time only took 5, second time I had to use 10. It takes different amounts to get to the Pygmified effect each time apparently.

Edited, Jul 25th 2009 8:07pm by Rueza

Commento di Allakhazam

When you drink a Pygmy Oil, you shrink in size a little for ten minutes. Kind of a waste, huh?

Commento di Allakhazam

Pygmy oil is more properly used as an ingredient for alchemists. See the "component in.." tab.

Commento di Allakhazam

Try drinking 6 and it turns you into a pygmy.
