Rotten helpers are already available it seems
Seeing 3 on the AH of EU Draenor. 2 boxed and 1 opened. It appears to be P/P breed.
150 hp
13 attack
10 speed
I speculate that its a rare present from the abominable grinch daily, since the Winter veil presents is not available yet.
Edit:
Spotted this on Wowhead:
I received this inside my Stolen Present for completing You're a Mean One....
Rotten Little Helper is uncommon upon learning.

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
I did the daily on nine toons today (including a lvl 82 hunter so you don't have to be 90) and got the new pet and Lumpy once each.
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
According to the US pet forum, the lvl 25 stats are:
1359 health
333 power
260 speed
1359 health
333 power
260 speed
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
That's quite a lot of power for a pet with a Landmine move. I want one.
Drop rate seems unpleasant though. I took something like 9 characters through the daily and no luck. None have hit our AH yet either.

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
I've seen a few up on AHs around the place - so it doesn't seem like an impossibly rare drop, but after 8 attempts so far, I'm yet to see it (4 left for today).

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
12 tries, 0 pets for me today
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
*edit* day 2 puts me at 24 tries, 0 pets. "Best" item I've gotten from a present has been fruitcake. Oh, so much fruitcake.

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
Got one on my first try and then got two lumpys in the remaining three characters I did it on.
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
I got 1 out of 9 tries. Doesn´t seem to be very rare, don´t spend a lot of gold until the last day. I stoned mine and put it on the AH for 10k. LOL There are already 8 listed on Illidian

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
9 tries again this morning, two Lumpy and one Clockwork Bot.
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
With only four characters that qualify, my options are very limited
no luck with any of the pets so far, but shall keep trying!

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
Ended buying a [pet]Rotten Little Helper[/pet] for 3k. Took a while to find someone with realistic expectations. EU draenor AH is filled with them ranging from 10-20k. LOL no I say, a damn season pet!
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
Definitely this. Wowhead's data are contaminated with stolen presents from last year, which couldn't contain Rotten Helper, so the droprate appears artificially low there. Wowdb wipes its data between patches, but consequently doesn't have enough data for Stolen Present yet.Azrile wrote:I got 1 out of 9 tries.

Some quick math from the responses in this thread (including my own 1/3) gives 5 helpers from 115 presents, which supports something like a 3-5% droprate. Lil Bling is a 2% droprate, and we already saw how fast Lil Bling's value plummeted within just a couple weeks of becoming available.
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
However Winter Veil is only here for a limited time, then supply dries up. Unlike Blingtron whom keeps generating tons of new gifts daily.Poofah wrote:Definitely this.

Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
10 characters both days and 1 Rotten Little Helper so far with 4 Clockwork Bots.
Re: Rotten helpers are already available it seems
Right, we'll have 2 weeks of Stolen Presents, which is why I made the comparison to Lil Bling prices within 2 weeks of its release. I think we can expect a similar trend -- ie prices will end up in the 500g range by the end of those 2 weeks. But probably with a bit of a Moon-Moon effect too -- ie people will panic on the last day or 2 and buy one if they haven't gotten it themselves, leading to an uptick in prices.
The only danger is if a large majority of people just do the daily quest once and then forget about it. This would be people who don't care about the rewards but just want to do it once for an achievement or completeness' sake. After all, the only good rewards are the pets, and pet collectors are not exactly the majority of players. If this is the case, the supply could potentially take a nosedive after that initial wave sells off their helpers.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll know which way it's trending until we see several days' worth of data.
