Pierre and Rascal-Bot cageable


In a recent hotfix Blizzard changed the vanity pets Pierre and Rascal-Bot from requiring a character on your account to have engineering. Now the two vanity pets can be caged and sold on the auction house.

Before patch 5.4 I was leveling engineering on one of my characters solely to get access to these two pets and to be able to more easily have a chance of Lil' Bling. When I saw the hotfixed I stopped my leveling. I have very limited playtime and I figured it would be faster short term to just farm gold and buy the two pets.

At first I was a bit sad that they changed it, as it is kinda nice that somethings are unique to each profession, but after thinking it through I actually like the change. I think it is neat for engineers to be able to earn a bit of money on their profession and for myself, it makes things so much easier as I don't have to farm all the materials to level yet another profession.

Now I am just waiting, checking the auction house from time to time to see if one of these pets will pop up. I've already seen multiple Lil' Blings on the AH for about 10k gold, but I think they will fall in price pretty quickly so currently I am saving my money for Pierre or Rascal Bot.

Also to those who are worried about the rarity of the engineering pets. With the required materials, I am pretty certain that these pets will stay rare for a long time. What are your thoughts on Blizzard making these two pets cageable?
