It seems there’s a bug allowing players to get the Secrets of Azeroth Community Rumor Mill done well ahead of time, and a player has even listed the Tobias pet on the AH!

Vexent spotted the pet which requires players to find 10 satchels from dirt mounds, and so far only three have been found. That apparently hasn’t stopped some players from abusing a bug to get the pet early and even try to make some gold from it!

All the mounds and clues will be revealed soon anyway, so it seems somewhat pointless to buy something like this off the AH. But there may be some that don’t want to deal with the event and dig up the mounds, so 1.5 million might not be that high a price.

In any case the bug causing this to be possible may have already been fixed, so Tobias might be rare for a few more days still.
