Key Takeaways
- Ms. Xiulan was a limited-time gold-sink vendor added in Dragonflight Patch 10.2.5 "Seeds of Renewal," selling cosmetic items for gold from the Black Market in Valdrakken.
- Her stock was on sale from January 1 to August 31, 2024, an eight-month window rather than a permanent shop.
- The headline item was the Gold Resonating Crystal at 1,200,000 gold, which taught the Golden Regal Scarab flying mount.
- Ten items were on offer in total, costing roughly 2,100,000 gold to buy outright, and every one was cosmetic transmog with no combat stats.
- After August 31, 2024, unsold items moved to the Black Market Auction House rotation, with starting bids matching the original vendor prices.
- As a gold sink she sat far below the Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur, whose auction bids open at 5,000,000 gold and climb toward the cap.
- With Dragonflight now two expansions behind the live game, the direct-sale window is long closed and these looks only surface through chance auction listings.
Here is who Ms. Xiulan was, the full stock she sold and for how much, the mount buried in that list, and what became of the leftovers.
Who Ms. Xiulan Was
Ms. Xiulan was a Pandaren NPC billed as Madam Goya's Assistant, tied to the Black Market. For most of Dragonflight she was just background flavor, but from January 1 to August 31, 2024 she ran a special gold-sink shop out of the Black Market in Valdrakken.
The point of the shop was to pull gold out of the economy. Everything she sold was a cosmetic appearance bought with gold, so players with overflowing banks had somewhere expensive to spend, and the game shed a chunk of its currency in the process.
The Full Inventory and Prices
Her stock was fixed, not a weekly rotation. All ten items were available the entire eight-month window at set gold prices. Buying the lot came to about 2,100,000 gold.
| Item | Type | Gold Price |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Resonating Crystal (Golden Regal Scarab mount) | Mount | 1,200,000 |
| Arsenal: Whispering Temple Blades | Two one-hand sword appearances | 200,000 |
| Gilded Scarab Bulwark | Shield | 100,000 |
| Gold-Plated Witchhunter's Carbine | Gun | 100,000 |
| Marauder King's Body Carver | Two-hand polearm | 100,000 |
| Gilded Crown Splitter | Two-hand axe | 90,000 |
| Royal Witch Doctor's Guard | Shield | 80,000 |
| Royal Witch Doctor's Trophies | Back | 80,000 |
| Wrathful Crusader's Helm | Helm | 75,000 |
| Regal Gryphon Rider's Headgear | Helm | 75,000 |
None of these carried stats. They were gold recolors of existing looks, several styled after Trading Post appearances, so the price bought bragging rights and a transmog, nothing more. Players sitting on seven-figure banks can compare our WoW gold options if a sink like this ever returns.
The Golden Regal Scarab, the Headline Reward
The item worth singling out is the Gold Resonating Crystal. At 1,200,000 gold it was more than half the total cost of the shop on its own, and it was the only item that granted a mount rather than a weapon or armor look.
Using it taught the Golden Regal Scarab, a gold-plated, emerald-socketed flying mount that supports Skyriding. That mount is the reason the blog title promised "Mounts," and it remains the most sought-after piece of the set. Collectors closing gaps in their stable can browse our WoW mount services for the rides still within reach.
What Happened After the Sale Ended
When the shop closed on August 31, 2024, the leftovers did not vanish. Ms. Xiulan's own line spelled it out: anything unsold went onto the auction house. From there the items began appearing in the Black Market Auction House rotation, where starting bids mirrored the old vendor prices.
That is where the comparison to the game's most infamous gold sink holds up. The Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur opens at 5,000,000 gold on the same auction house and regularly wars up toward the 9,999,999 gold cap. Ms. Xiulan's stock never reached those numbers, but once her items joined the auction pool their final prices were no longer fixed.
