Apparently the repair/vendor functionality of Coppers the Kobold was removed in 11.02. So don’t spend your Globs of Wax/Fire Rubies on it. Naturally I find this out after I purchased it. As a non-battle Companion pet it’s now purely cosmetic.
I won’t even bother asking why create a pet like this, delete its functionality, then still leave in game for players to waste resources on.
Remember when they had that six month fish mount that was a flying/aquatic… removed the aquatic feature. I feel like sometimes they make these kinda baffling changes just because they’re bored.
I knew I wasn’t crazy! Why remove the aquatic ability of a FISH?
sorry they made a fish that doesn’t swim well?
I was leveling a character to unlock the garrison hearth stone when I popped in the water and thought “man I’m really slow under water!”. It was later on when I was looking at mount tags to see which had the fly buddy system that I noticed the aquatic tag on my otter but not my fish mount. A literal fish that can’t swim… good one blizz.
If you use static flying then the swim speed is increased
But flying is only 310 still. Not the 420.
But if you are dragonriding / skyriding then the swim speed is removed.
PSA: Buy Coppers the Kobold for collections purposes so it counts towards your unique pets.
They saw how excited people got over it and thought a pet with those attributes are too good to be free.
I guarantee there will be a $20 store pet with the same attributes before the year is over.
PSA: Buy Coppers the Kobold. He is cute.
There’s the Guild Page, Guild Herald, and Argent Squire/Gruntliing (with Argent Pony Bridle upgrade) that can all be used as vendors, but they have 4+ hour cooldowns on usage.
So, yeah, I can see why Coppers got nerfed, but they shouldn’t have removed the vendor ability completely.
Given the Mammoth, Yak and Bront mounts, I dont see how a single pet is very OP. If it is, make it cost more. Make it cost 4 gems instead of 1, which would be 150-200 nodes instead of 38-50. That would make the grind closer to what you get.
That said, they didn’t take it out because its op, they want to monetize it.
Pets can be summoned anywhere, mounts require outdoors.
Yes, but if making doing activities more viable is problematic, then what are we really doing?
The other pets that act as vendors, or any items that can spawn vendors, all have cooldowns. They’re not going to make a zero-cooldown vendor pet that obsoletes all those other things.
The do that crap all the time. Thats why you walk into any major city and see 55 yaks at any given moment. You just want to argue. I’m gonna put you on ignore down dumass
Wasn’t even aware he did anything. I just want a Kobald
they posted that it was removed
A real fish outta water that one.
I’m gonna farm wax and go buy a second one
Bought him… Not a lot of other things to spend the rubies on right now. Buying resources is boring and I’ll be able to do that all expansion.
