Ethereal Plunderer

Soul-Trader Beacon

The Soul-Trader Beacon is the reward from the Ethereal Plunderer Loot Card. This item teaches you how to summon an Ethereal Soul-Trader.

The Ethereal Soul-Trader is quite possibly the most exciting companion pet available. He has many interesting features…

• He's full size.
• After summoning, he says “I have arrived. Shall we set to work, then?”
• Whenever you kill a mob, he absorbs their souls in exchange for Ethereal Credit.
• When siphoning a mob's soul essence, he will occasionally say “Ah, more essence to capture…Here is your share.”
• Ethereal Credit is only earned from mobs that are capable of rewarding experience or honor.
• The clothing sold by the Ethereal Soul-Trader is very similar to the attire worn by the members of The Consortium.
• The item is level 20, but has no level requirement. It can be used by even level one characters.

Ethereal Credits can be used to purchase a number of unusual items, including:

Ethereal Essence Sphere – Cost: 50 Ethereal Credits
Diluted Ethereum Essence – Cost: 50 Ethereal Credits
Ethereal Liqueur – Cost: 25 Ethereal Credits
Ethereal Mutagen – Cost: 100 Ethereal Credits
Soul-Trader's Head Wrap – Cost: 100 Ethereal Credits
Soul-trader's Bindings – Cost: 1000 Ethereal Credits
Soul-Trader's Pauldrons – Cost: 500 Ethereal Credits
Soul-Trader's Waistband – Cost: 100 Ethereal Credits
Soul-Trader's Gloves – Cost: 250 Ethereal Credits
Soul-Trader's Boots – Cost: 250 Ethereal Credits

Ethereal Soul-Trader Armor Set

Here are a couple of pics showing what the completed set of armor looks like. The entire set will run you 2200 Ethereal credits.

Note: Although the Ethereal Soul-Trader is a vendor for his specialty wares, he is not available for selling; however, you can buy items back from him.

The Soul-Trader Beacon also has a small chance to be found within Landro's Pet Box.

Due to an a lag exploit, the Ethereal Soul-Trader was hot fixed to not be usable in battlegrounds or arena, so you cannot summon him in zoned PvP instances. Sorry… 🙁

Ethereal Soul-Trader in Action

The Ethereal Plunderer Loot Card is found in packs from The Hunt for Illidan Expansion Set.

It is a very rare Loot Card, with only a 1 in 242 chance to be pulled from a booster pack.

The Hunt for Illidan booster boxes run about $60 each and contain 24 booster packs. The average cost to acquire this card at that pricing would be about $600.00.
