BFA - Unlocking Vendors and Vendor Pets
Posted: November 1st, 2018, 5:38 pm
BFA introduced a new mechanic where certain battle pets won't show up on listed vendors until you've completed a certain quest, achievement, or something else. Doing so essentially "unlocks" the pet on the vendor, making it appear, and allowing you to buy it. Otherwise, it's completely hidden.
Here's a list of Vendors that require "unlocking" plus specific vendor pets that also require extra steps before you can purchase them.
Unlocking Vendors:
Nigel Rifthold (vendor sells 5 pets)
Note: You do not have to do the quest chain to "save" Nigel before completing the process below.
Unlocking Specific Vendor Pets:
Ranishu Runt - sold by Jenoh (H)

Unlocking Vendors:
