UPDATE: The price for all items sold by the 疯狂的商人 was previously 100k each. The latest build brought with it some drastic price increases, making these items by far the biggest gold sinks the game has yet to see.

Note that the gold cap is being increased to 10,000,000 gold in Legion.

Items sold by the 疯狂的商人:

血牙蛛茧 - Cost: 2,000,000g
棱彩装饰 - Cost: 250,000g
狂人的行李箱 - Cost: 500,000g
天界河马幼崽 - Cost: 1,000,000g

*Note that prices may be placeholders and are subject to change

Blizzard has discussed their rationale behind this merchant through a number of blue posts. Wowhead has summarized them here and here.

Where can I find him?

疯狂的商人 can be found in The Wonderworks Toy Shop in Dalaran. He is on a very random spawn timer, reportedly as short as 4 hours, and as long as a few days! Once someone purchases from him (after he has spawned), he will stick around for roughly 1-2 hours before despawning again.

As such, it's a courteous move to announce in trade when he spawns!

I didn't see the new prices until I read a forum post tonight (original 100,000G). While the the prices are hefty and only worth purchasing depending on the individual's interest, I see it as something to work toward. I think the prices could be adjusted, but I don't know how the economy will be next expansion and this is merely a side incentive anyhow. If the prices are to stay, I tossed in a suggestion in-game for a 750,000G mark. To be exact, I want the Mad Merchant's hat and robes for my mage. The items could be cosmetic, so that any class could use them. Hopefully this becomes possible, well as adjusting some of the prices. Regardless of that though, all I really do is farm achievements/gold nowadays and it's sorta nice to have this, if I want to spend that tasty yellow coin.

评论来自 mstieler

Yeah, I don't see myself buying any of this, especially after being able to quantify and amount of gold as being equal to real dollars. As of writing this, the WoW Token is almost 50k (for US servers). That makes the toy $100, the bag $200, the pet $400, and the mount $800. Unless gold starts flowing in Legion even more than it did in Warlords, I don't see this happening for me.

hmm that 2 mil mount looks sweeet :D

I got the gold! Where is he located? :b

评论来自 Mzbehavin

located in wonder works toyshop in dalaran, seems to be a random spawn (not sure of the timer but have seen people camping him) he seems to be there for around 10 - 15 mins and disappears again.pic sent in

评论来自 PiercedTeddyBear

So he seems to spawn every twelve hours and once someone purchases off him he stays up for over 15 minutes.

评论来自 koochulu

If you're waiting for him to spawn, PLEASE don't sit right in front of others or on top of where he spawns. Some people alt tab and leave a little space open where he will spawn for them to see while they browse. Don't be a !@#$%^.

评论来自 varenne

疯狂的商人 is in Dalaran's Wonderworks shop.
He has a random respawn timer and will disappear after 15 minutes if someone buys an item from him.

Sells 4 items for now:
狂人的行李箱
棱彩装饰
天界河马幼崽
血牙蛛茧

EDIT at 12am GMT-31-August:
Mad Merchant Just Spawned in some EU Realms. 12:00 AM (GMT), 02:00 AM (EU) server time.
Confirming atleast 5 EU Realms spawned.
Maybe all EU realms?

Bought what i needed, and the NPC dispawned 2 Hours later @ 02:00 AM (GMT), 04:00 AM (EU) server time.

Old Post:-
EU, campd for +14 Hours, still nothing spawned.
Checked twitter, seems like alot of players have camped +12 hours EU+US, they are all wondering if Mad Merchant made it to Live realms yet. no response from blizzard.

To Confirm 1 thing though: the 12 Hour spawn from Beta did not make it to live.
so might be either more than 12 hours spawn timer, OR, the NPC didn't make it to live "yet".

will update my post later.

Please be kind and list this guy in group finder if he's up on your server. Thank you!

评论来自 Thaelarionn

After spawning at 02:00 and despawning at 04:00 last night, I just walked past him at 08:25 and he was up again. This means that either his spawn timer is shorter than on beta, or much more random. EU.

评论来自 Feliciamarie

I can confirm he doesn't not despawn exactly 15 minutes after someone buys from him.

评论来自 Kalterast

I bought the mount from him on 09-01-2016 around 3:15 AM (EST). It seems he was still up at 3:49 (last I check)

When I saw him I called it in trade chat and made a group in the premade group finder, some people confirmed me they bought some things (didn't asked what they bought).

Maybe it's a possibility the 15 minutes reset on every buyout ?

评论来自 zRealcat

This npc spawned at 12:00 am on my server. I immediately purchased the mount, after which the vendor took the full hour to despawn at exactly 1:00 am. It would've been helpful knowing that the vendor doesn't only take 15 minutes to despawn.

评论来自 Pamplemousse

Spawned at 11 am server time on Alexstrasza/Terrokar US on 9/4, will update when it despawns.

Despawned after an hour.

评论来自 GymmyRustler

I've been having trouble finding him the past week despite camping the toy store all day and night. Has his spawn rate changed significantly or am I just unlucky?

评论来自 rowdGuru

Camping him since 3 days, haven't seen this merchant yet. Do we have more infos about spawning timers ?

评论来自 regma

Just like to note that he'll sometimes /yell when he appears in the shop.

Edit: Not sure why the downvote but he does yell when he appears.

He spawned around 11pm on US server Silver hand.

Please Make LFG custom Group when he is up mentioning Mad Merchant Is Up. I have been waiting for a day, and i've been server hoping with no luck. my username is also my B-tag, let me know if you want help or can help me too.

The spawn rate is ridicilous... As if everyone has 2 million gold.

评论来自 GarroshIcecream

spawned at 14:30 EU he is spawning across all EU realms

评论来自 Fairbanks

Camping for now 19h and nothing in view.... We were two servers camping him, also doing server hop with mana fish groups but no result. Will update when he pops up.

Edit: After 23h of camping, finally popped. At 4PM exactly. It seems to be regional spawn, on every server, because my friends had it too. Mad Merchant disappeared at 5:01PM. Exactly 1h after my purchase. (I waited for so long so one more hour to see his despawn is nothing, LOL)

Conclusion : Spawn at exact times (:00), Region spawn, don't serverhop because it's loss of time. Despawn exactly 1h after 1st purchase.

评论来自 Maplebunny

So he spawned at I think 9:00 AM server time on Tichondrius-US this morning. I took note of the times as follows :-

8:50 AM - NOT SPAWNED
9:07 AM - SPAWNED, I purchased Bloodfang Cocoon from him. Hadn't seen anybody else in trade chat or general channels history say he was there so guessing I was the first to purchase from him and that he'd spawned at 9 AM.
9:50 AM - STILL SPAWNED
10:06 AM - STILL SPAWNED
10:27 AM - STILL SPAWNED
11:06 AM - GONE

Seems he spawns at a random time ON the hour, and I guess he then stays up for 2 hours after he spawns (unrelated to when someone purchased from him since I purchased at :07 past the hour and he'd gone by :06 two hours later).

Other people have said it's only an hour so I think either it changed to 2 hours very recently, or the length of time he stays up may also vary. It was at least 1 hour 20 minutes on Tichondrius today.

评论来自 Alcest

No one has pointed this out yet, but he's actually a reference to Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty. Both he and Rick are "mad", intelligent, inventors (assumption because he's a Gnome in a toy shop and has unique items only he sells), and his infrequent /yell is "Wubba lubba dub dub!", which is a catchphrase said by Rick on the show.

Oh and both of them love money too, but the /yell was the biggest reference giveaway.

评论来自 flurreh

The music in Dalaran will change to silly circus music when he is spawned.

评论来自 thebl4ckd0g

so basically this vendor is for the 1% of WoW players.

评论来自 cloudsover31

Ive been waiting for him for almost 48 hours now, The short times I sleep I have my boyfriend log in and check every hour on the hour, and still havent seen him. It has taken me months to save up for the spider mount, its frustrating having to wait so much longer just for the vendor.

评论来自 Miea

The Mad Merchant is a rare vendor that spawns in the Wonderworks shop in Dalaran - Broken Isles. When he spawns it will be on all regional realms at the same time, always on the hour (but not every whole hour). It is random when he spawns.

He always despawns after 1 hour, regardless if anyone does a purchase or not. This means that checking in every whole hour is enough in order to catch him, and realm-hopping is not necessary. Upon spawning he usually does a /yell in Dalaran.

I camped for about four days until he spawned on EU realms on the 24\1\17 at 08:00. He despawned at 09:00. Later on the same day he spawned once again, this time at 17:00 for an hour. Again on the 26/1/17 he spawned at 05:00 for an hour.

评论来自 Daenarra

I've been camping him for the last 24 hours on Caelestrasz (US). No sign of him at all. I've been making sure to come back every hour on the hour (it's been a looooong night).
Are there any updates on spawnings? I want my spider *cry*

评论来自 Taraezor

For those of us who use targeting macros for the convenience of knowing if a rare is up and nearby the Rare Love AddOn over at Curse or WoW Interface does help with this one.

Basically, it groups a whole ton of macros into one simple macro. It allows tracking of 物有所值, 霜害, 罕见品种, etc and rares such as this and 布尔吉·黑心, 利尔·迪米, 疯狂的商人, 月牙, and 暗月兔子 with a single button on your action bars.

I use this while in the new Dalaran zone. No need to bother walking over to his location. Saves time.

评论来自 TankTakingFlight

Has anyone had any luck spotting him recently? Been camping him the last two days with no success, making me wonder if he really spawns every 12 hrs or not now.

评论来自 Wishblade

Mad Merchant appeared on Draenor EU at 4 pm or 16:00, whichever works best for you, on Wednesday 11th of April 2017.

Bought the mount almost immediately after announcing it in Trade.

Now to see when it disappears, if only for my own personal research. :P

EDIT:
One hour later he vanished. Didn't seem to have been exactly at 5 pm/17:00, more like an hour after I purchased my mount.

He spawned on EU Perenolde at 4:00 am. It was announced in dalaran chat. I bought the mount and opened a group in the group finder to help two other players to buy the mount. After 1 hour he disappeared.

Please help other players and open an group.

评论来自 Speratic

Mad Merchant Spawned at 1AM PST on Chromaggus U.S. camped him only for a few hours, just an FYI, I got pretty lucky cause my alt was lv. 18 and a half, just ran to duskwood and got to twenty in 10 minutes! but you cannot buy the mount on an alt unless you are at least level 20. This will save you a headache if you are buying it on an alt.

评论来自 rauvir

currently up on US realms!

评论来自 Rutaria

When he spawned on my server, he yelled "Happy Midsummer's Festival!" This was in August, by the way, so not actually during the festival.

评论来自 darthgummibear

Nobody in my guild has seen this guy. If it wasn't for having seen people with the mount, I'd be starting to wonder if he actually exists.

评论来自 ShadowPhoenx

After camping him a week+ on Ravencrest-US, well, checking in often, I stopped by at 4:13am and he was up! Spent way too much for a pet, but while there listed it in LFG for others. He was still up when I logged at 4:42am...

评论来自 theadminders

疯狂的商人 can be tracked using the NPCScan addon, in the settings choose "Add manually" and enter the ID of this NPC: 108468, click OK. At first there will be the inscription "Unknown: 108468" (but the addon will already search for this NPC), after the relogin there will already be "The Mad Merchant: 108468" (screen).
You can leave the game in the minimized window, if you configure the audio signal, then as the NPC appears, you will immediately understand this. Good luck! :)

评论来自 Patrez

Patch 7.3
I have been camping for this guy for almost 3 day non-stop before he spawned.
Here are some of my observations:
1. I started camping for him on 13.1.2018 9 AM server time. Checking the shop at least every hour (Sometimes way more than I would admit)
2. He spawned on 15.1.2018 6:04 PM server time and disappeared exactly on 7:00 PM server time the same day.
3. People sometimes come into the shop and play with stuff, some asked why am I just staring at the wall.
4: Made a pandaren friend.
5. Managed to gather up 20-30 people via group finder/ trade chat before he was gone.
6. Got 1 report and ignore from someone because he couldn't find the toy shop.

I hope that helps you guys and gals on your camping adventure in dalaran.

He's up in Silvermoon right now. Just bought the spider mount from him. I'm now a very poor playah :/

评论来自 Adrenci

If you think that saving up the 2 million gold for the spider mount is going to be the hardest part, you are sorely mistaken. He spawn on all US servers at once and separately on all EU servers at once so you do not need to spend time realm hopping. He spawn exactly on a random hour and stays for one hour. That's it. That's all the information out there.

Camping this guy absolutely sucks... I checked every hour for 4.5 days. I'm talking 101 hours in a row. I'm talking setting an alarm and waking up from your sleep every hour during the night. This is worse than having a newborn. I'm talking not going to work or school or activities or anywhere that's going to keep you out of the house longer than one hour.

It appears that he spawns every 6 or 7 days but that's just based off of the last 14 days of info on the discord link. (very helpful) It looks like he spawns on EU servers first and then US servers 6 or 7 hours later.

This mount is not for the weak willed.... It will ruin you. But it's SO awesome once your hard work has paid off.

I've been looking for him for 4 days now and I come by his shop every hour to check if he is there, haven't seen anything yet.
The only time i'm not at his shop is when i'm sleeping. I try to afk watch him with npc scan on but WoW keeps kicking me out even with the "walking" method :<

Anyone got ay tips ?

So when I decided I want to buy prismatic bauble, I found only kind of old info, so for anyone wondering... as of 2019 Mad merchant spawned today at 9am :) I was checking the shop every hour for 13 hours prior to that (these cushions will be burnt in my brain forever) so not sure about the timer, but if you just decided to get something from him, doable :) He was also up longer than 15 minutes.

Also be that guy and put group in the group finder when he spawns.

评论来自 VolviX

I can confirm after purchase it stays 1 hour. So checking in once in every hour is enough. Don't be like me and stare the wall for days! It spawns minimum once in 3 days.

As 02.06.19 10:31, it is there.

For me Mad Merchant spawned exactly at 17:00 ST on Outland EU.
I relogged to see if it can be found also on BurningLegion, Ravencrest, Skullcrusher and Kel'Thuzad, so i think, I can confirm that he will spawn on all realms and will be available on both - warmode on and off at same time.
Gone after exactly an hour so at 18:00 ST.

Oddity - I've been checking for a couple hours today and logged in at 5:59pm or so after reading a tip to check before hours change. Magic smoke was in his spot, so I waited a bit, and as I watched, he appeared. I let chat know he spawned and purchased my bauble. I noticed there was no music mentioned in previous comments. I logged onto my alt and he's not there anymore as of 6:08pm.

This is on NA region. I'm not sure if he despawned early or if I was lucky(?) and he glitched a little letting me purchase from him before disappearing. (not sure why I saw the "appearing" animation though in that case)

No camping required. If you join "WoW Secret Finding & Collections" discord and set an announcement for the mad merchant you will get a notification when he spawns. You can also download the discord app to your phone so you don't even need to be at your computer to get the notification. To set the announcement go to #get-a-role channel and select your region (EU or US) then select the callout (mad merchant). Once you have done this you can scroll down the channels on the left side and select #eu-rare-callouts. When the mad merchant spawns someone will tag and post in this channel and you will get a notification. You then have 15 minutes to log in and get to the npc.

Spotted him today at 00.26, he was up when I got into the toy shop, so he could have spawned before that time, bought items off of him around a minute later and stayed with him till he despawned.
Made a group and last person do buy from him was at 00.42.
He despawned at 00.59, 33 minutes after I spotted him.

I've been camping him for 4 days now and he just popped on US servers at 10:00pm EST. Side note, I work during the day so I was only able to camp him from about 8pm to 1am (5 hours each night). I'm telling you this to clarify that I have no idea if he has spawned in the last 4 days, during the day, when I wasn't on.

No music changed, no yells, no alerts of any kind, he just spawned in on the middle bean bag chair in The Wonderworks shop.

I was on my mage so I teleported to the Northrend Dalaran to see if he was there as well, and he was not.

I looked outside and around the shop to see if there could be any kind of environmentals that trigger him, the weather, the sky, any other NPC around, maybe one of the toys acting differently, and nothing was out of the ordinary, there was nothing that I could see would be a factor.

I sat with him the whole time he was there and he was gone at 11:00pm EST, in exactly 1 hour.

Hope this helps.

Just in case you are an idiot like me, he spawns in Broken Isles Dalaran, I was camping the wrong one for weeks, found him first go once I realised the right one. Highly suggest Wow Secret Findings and Collections on discord and setting up an alert role for him, someone alerted he was NA and I am OCE and he was up on my server as well.
