Griftah is a phony amulet vendor located in the Lower City of Shattrath, along with other appearances at Darkmoon Island, Kun-Lai Summit, Zuldazar and Oribos.

He persistently announces his silly wares, such as Inv jewelry necklace 10 [Soap on a Rope] and other white neck slot items, all of which are quite useless, either granting abilities you already have (such as jumping, swimming, or returning to your body upon death) or effects you do not need (such as protection from critters or from "Tikbalangs", which aren't actually in the game).

Griftah

Griftah in Shattrath City.

Griftah was initially located in the Lower City market section of Shattrath City, trying to sell his wares to unsuspecting bypassers.

Early on he was standing next to Peacekeeper Jadaar who often contradicted and questioned Griftah's claims about his wares, leading to amusing conversations, but for a short time Griftah was exiled from the city due to the endless reports of his shady business practices. He continued to sell his questionable goods outside of Shattrath, at the city's south-western entrance from Terokkar Forest, asking players who pass by about the state of his stall. Peacekeeper Jadaar was standing guard outside Griftah's stall, while the troll's inventory was examined by Investigator Asric. However, when Zul'Aman was re-discovered, Griftah was let back into Shattrath selling his old goods, and sells a Inv misc toy 07 [Hula Girl Doll] necessary in crafting the Ability mount gyrocoptorelite [Turbo-Charged Flying Machine], the epic flying mount created by engineers.

Griftah's exile from Shattrath City[]

In patch 2.2, Griftah was exiled from Shattrath City as a result of fraudulent activities.

The reactions of the players were varied, with some happy with the change while others were disgusted of what they think was Blizzard taking this action due the complaints by players who had got "grifted" (and perhaps because they would lose the opportunity of visiting his stall to hear his funny conversations with Peacekeeper Jadaar).

However, his creator, World Designer Kisirani, answer the following to one of these claims:[1]

I can say with the utmost confidence that you are incorrect. There is no ret-con occurring here, and the changes to Griftah were not done as a result of player or GM complaints. I assure you, had that been the case, his amulets would likely have been removed entirely rather than merely relocating the NPC.
They were done in the interest of making the world a bit more interesting, and from the vast majority of responses, it appears that motivation is a success.
Wait and see. :)

Kisirani later explained: [2]

It's a shame you're unwilling to believe what is, in essence, the truth—that Griftah has been a small foray in progressive content as we gauge certain things.
I'm the person behind making the content. I've no reason to deceive you.
It's one of the goals of my job, at the heart of it, to make the world feel more alive. The larger parts of it primarily contain holiday content and world flavor; this was a small bit of the latter.

Griftah was seen in Shattrath City again in patch 2.3.0.
