Thinking of faction-transferring my BE hunter but worried about potential issues

Hello everyone,

I've been playing Horde most of my time here on Icecrown and have recently leveled up a human warrior in order to enjoy other parts of the game.

Unfortunately, with the exception of heirlooms, you can't mail anything to your opposite faction alts. Because of this I was considering faction-changing my main.

I have more than enough points but I am hesitant to do so because I'm afraid that I might lose something in the process. The most important item I'm concerned about is my hunter's pet wolf, which has an extremely rare skin from the old days of the server - it is a ghost wolf, but not an exotic pet. It acts just like a regular wolf.

I'm afraid that if I faction change, he will lose his skin and it won't be recoverable.

Has anyone had any experience with such transfers?


Thank you.
