The finally revealed component for the Vial of the Sands. May come from a vendor similar to the chopper parts or be a drop in Uldum from herbing or something.

Most people think time is like a river, that flows swift and sure in one direction.
But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they're wrong.
Time is an ocean in a storm.
You may wonder who I am, and why I say this.
Sit down, and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard.

As of 10/10/10

750g sell price * 4 = 3000g buy price.

You need 8 of them for the Vial of the Sands mount.

3000g * 8 =

24000g if this item is vendor purchased.

Welcome to the new gold sink

EDIT: I posted this during Cataclysm Beta, so back then it was listed as 750g vendor sell price. It is now 25g

The alchemy item it's use'd to make is BOP it looks like, not sure how much of a gold sink it's gonna be.

Commento di Jirek

So, It's likely that the Vial will be turned BOE, and that we're looking at the Hog equivalent of this expansion.

I just hope the recipe isn't too uncommon, otherwise the markup is gonna be insane, as if 24k wasn't already. I think I'd have preferred if all it took was to level alchemy...

Commento di TehFacroller2000

Massive money sink, starting to regret dropping Inscription/Enchanting (none were about 300 though, thankfully, lol)

Commento di DramaOfficer

Not necessarily 24,000g. If you're guild is at Level 24 it will reduce the price down to 21,600 gold. And if Yasmin is affiliated with a Reputation, and you get to Exalted with them, that would bring the price of 8 Sands of Time down to 16,800. Of course, we don't know whether she is or not, we'll see how it all plays out.

TL;DR: To make Vial of the Sands, you may only need 16,800 Gold to get the 8 Sands of Time, instead of ~~24,000g~~.

Edit: I wrote this 4.0.1, The Shattering. This was pure speculation at the time.

To make Vial of the Sands, you may only need 16,800 Gold to get the 8 Sands of Time, instead of 24,000g.

This may or may not be true, but I'm certain that it will be faster to farm the 7200g difference than it will to grind the 24 guild levels. This is to say if you are racing to get it as soon as Cataclysm is released.
Based on the average guild of course, and the assumption gold will be slightly easier to get than it is currently in Wotlk. 5k gold in two weeks is currently pretty easy if you know what you are doing, so in cata I'd say 7200 in two weeks would be reasonable.
So maybe at that rate... 6 weeks farming gold for the 24k. Assuming you are both broke and already have the Artisan Riding (280%).
But obviously if you do this sometime after Cataclysm, its quite reasonable to factor in (at least) the guild discount.

Commento di Dyros

I've been looking forward to this mount since news first hit, and Alchemy will probably be maxed before my character is. That said, I'm dumbfounded at the price. While it may be only 16,000 compared to the previously stated 24,000, that's still quite a bit of money - especially considering enchants and gems will be quite a big money sink at the start.

I've already started saving and shouldn't have an issue, but it does seem like an invitation for people to illegally purchase gold.

Commento di laecs

I was Wondering this for quite some time. Wether the mats were tradeable the ones from the vendors.

As you could get someone who was exalted with Rem to buy the mats at a cheaper price for you.

Anyone know?

Commento di 419094

Vial of Sands is not BoP anymore, so start farming gold today :D

Commento di 148144

in contrast to the Mechano-Hog's materials like pistons etc, you can see and buy theese even if you are NOT an alchemist.
i haven't tested yet if they can be traded, but if they can it would be a good way to save some money with a goblin alt.

Commento di SimonEddie

Anyone else thought of this items name to be a prince of persia reference?

Commento di 148961

Who's getting the really obvious Prince of Persia reference here ;)?

Commento di Necrolyte

Prince of Persia gets these sands with a great discount, judging by his activity of using it.

Commento di Athenia

! WARNING !

Do not do what I did and buy the sands with a goblin and then try to move them across the Neutral auction house, for all 8 sands on the minimum time it costs 4500G deposit!

The vial is ok though, only costs 10G deposit.

I have added a screenshot as proof, hopefully it will be approved fairly quickly.

Commento di 757886

Do i get lower price if im exalted rebutation to Ramkahen?

Commento di 177254

I vote they change to flavor text to "Time is A LOT of money!"

Commento di Micros

These (3 of them) are to be a requirement, along with Living Embers in part of the quest chain in 4.1 to construct the long awaited, caster legendary staff.

Commento di Rossmallo

These will now be blue as of next patch.

Question:

Does this bind when picked up(?) or could I move a character to a Guild with the level 24 perk "Bartering", buy this with the discount, and send it over to other character to craft the mount?

Same question applies to the Pyrium-Laced Crystalline Vial item.

Commento di Toepick

You will need 3 of these along with 25 Eternal Ember to complete the 3rd quest, All-Seeing Eye, in the quest line to make the Cataclysm legendary Staff - Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest.

All-Seeing Eye
Collect 25 Eternal Ember from Firelands and 3 Sands of Time.

Description

As I scour time to find traces of this obscured event, you must aid me in the creation of an Eye, both to test your worthiness, and to provide an essential tool in the unraveling of this mystery.

Venture into the Plane of Fire, <class>, and gather Living Embers. Bring them to me with Sands of Time and I will create the Eye.

Rewards
You will receive: 53 gold 50 silver

Gains
Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

104,100 experience

Time is what prevents everything from happening at once.

Commento di Isiwien

As of this mornings rolling resets the Pyrium-Laced Crystalline Vial and Sands of Time does NOT work with Best Deals Anywhere. Seems like a hotfix. I'm now a sad panda. The prices are now set at 4500 and 2700, even for goblins.

Commento di Deathturtle

Yes, I just found this out the hard way. I made my usual run to buy a Vial and Sands (I sell a vial every 2-3 days on AH), sent my usual 23,200 to my goblin (no i don't have the guild discount) and got to Uldum only to discover the discount was gone. Answered my question from earlier this week though: I could not figure out why I was short 5,000 gold after making my last vial.

This makes me sad because now I cannot compete with players who have the guild discount.

I guess I'm out of the mount business for awhile.

Commento di evango17

I deleted my comment from earlier, it seems our server was slow to reset. The price now is what Isiwien says. Good thing I bought enough to make 4 drakes!

Commento di 837331

As of Tuesday 05/31/2011 the items need to make the Vial of the Sands, DO NOT get the Goblin racial discount bonus. For those saying it does, it was before the date stated above, which you could stack guild discount + goblin discount for a total of 20300 gold for the mats. However you can still get the guild discount bonus for a total of 26100 gold for the mats.

Lets hope Blizz wont take that too.

Commento di 649528

not only do you have to lvl alchemist, you have to lvl archaeology too and even then, not guaranteed to get recipe. One of our guildies who's had his alchemist and archaeology maxed out for quite some time has farmed up a crap load of those jars, but no recipe. I wish they make the recipe BoA, my main's a leatherworker and only one i plan on working on archaeology with. I really don't want to have to work it up with my priest alchemist too.

Commento di Aislinana

Three Sands of Time are now required for the quest "" (along with 25x Eternal Ember) . This is part of the quest chain in order to make Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest. The chain starts at (Horde) or (Alliance).

Commento di 859086

Looks like Dastan can find more sand for his dagger.

Commento di Jakio

I believe that this item is used for the new legendary caster staff Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest.

You need three of these, plus 25 Eternal Ember, one of these are dropped at each major boss in the new Firelands raid.

This is just the first step, so far it's unsure as to the next steps.

Commento di p3lim

Edit: in 8.3 the NPC selling this item is now a member of , and can provide up to a 20% discount at exalted.

Commento di 146955

In patch 4.3.0, someone found a way to duplicate items, and these were duplicated in large scales. (edit: seems to be fixed)

The price is still the same even though the ones who have duplicated them sell the items cheaper than vendor price.

Commento di Nelinde

Sell to vendor price has been reduced from 750g to 25g. Dont know when this changed (stealth nerf?) but only noticed today.

Commento di 969267

why has my comment been deleted without explanation?

I said the discount was unfair and should be changed

was told go make a horde goblin so you can get the discount yourself

I said but you will just change the rules later and it will be a waste of time

the gm said it is by design and will not change go ahead

as it turns out I wasted my time and they lied

why would you delete this post?

Commento di Megideon

Got lucky i cause, a lvl 1 is selling them on my realm for 1500g each or 8 for 11k :S

Commento di 770339

Who sells this!

Commento di Calamityyy

These are often in the Auction House on my server, Darkspear US Alliance. They range anywhere from 1,000G to 2500G, but lately have been in the low thousand (currently 6 for 1364G each). This has been going on for weeks and the price for Vial of the Sands in trade I've seen all the way down to 19K.

A little fishy considering these are vendor only bought, and the price for the entire Vial of the Sands is less than 8 of these alone cost.

Commento di 696034

Quick heads up - This now only costs 2400g from Vendor : )
