Tour the Trading Post and Shop For Fabulous Items
Each month the fine retailers of Tawney and Wilder (T&W) and the Zen’shiri Trading Post set up their shop with fabulous new transmog appearances, pets, mounts, and toys for guests to peruse and purchase with Trader’s Tender. If you are unfamiliar with this feature, don’t worry, we have you covered with our tour of the Trading Post. You’ll be shopping for top-of-the-line items for your collection in no time.
Shops are available in the capital cities of Orgrimmar, Stormwind, and Dornogal in the Isle of Dorn for characters level 10 and above. You’ll find Tawney and Wilder (T&W) just outside of the Mage District in Stormwind and the Zen’shiri Trading Post next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar. Shoppers can also visit the outpost in Dornogal in the Foregrounds within the Isle of Dorn.
Our trader friends have pulled out all the stops and have set up their shop so you can view the new items of the month prominently on display right at their shop. They’ll have transmog appearances for viewing on mannequins set up around the shop, pets nearby, and mounts secured in their stable. Speak to the traders to see each month’s wares.
A Home for Creative Cosmetics
There are a multitude of interesting transmog appearances, pets, toys, and mounts possibilities in Azeroth, limited only by imagination. The Trading Post serves as a home for many more items from across Azeroth— and beyond—and is not limited by the current game content. You can expect to see a variety of fun new items available to purchase and add to your collection with each month’s offering.
How It Works
To obtain these unique cosmetic items, you will need to acquire a new account-wide currency called “Trader’s Tender.” This can be earned in two ways:
- Automatically each month: Just by logging in and heading to the Trading Post, you can collect 500 Trader’s Tender every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache.
- By completing monthly activities in the Traveler’s Log: A monthly set of activities provides the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender.
Get Tender Every Month
At the beginning of each month, players with an active account in good standing will receive a set amount of Trader’s Tender automatically. If you don’t have active game time on your account or aren’t a subscriber at the start of a new month, don’t worry. Your Tender will be awarded the first day of the month when you do have game time or an active subscription. This will be the same amount for everyone, regardless of how you pay for your game time.
The Traveler’s Log
The second way to earn Trader’s Tender is to complete monthly activities listed in the Traveler’s Log. Each month features a rotating, themed set of activities. There’s only a set amount of Tender you can earn each month through completing activities, so you won’t need to complete all the ones in the log each month. You’ll be able to pick and choose from a variety of fun in-game activities to easily earn Tender. Players can choose to earn by continuing to play the game as they already do, such as completing quests, competing in battlegrounds, taking part in holiday activities, and even running Mythic+ dungeons. But you can also choose to take part in activities uniquely designed for the month.
You’ll be able to view these activities and your progress in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J) in the Traveler’s Log once you have completed the Tour the Trading Post intro quest. A bar at the top of the User Interface (UI) will show your progress in earning Trader’s Tender each. During the last week of every month, select activities will also become part of a “Final Surge” accelerating the rate at which you can finish your bar before the end of the month passes you by.
At certain thresholds, Trader’s Tender will be deposited into your Collector’s Cache for pickup. Additional Trader’s Tender is also obtained by filling the bar.
Monthly Rotation
At the beginning of the month, the traders will obtain new items and update the activities in the Traveler’s Log for the new month. Items that are rotated out of their inventory won’t be gone for good though—they’ll rotate back into the inventory in future months—giving players who missed them the first time another opportunity to add them to their collections. The Trading Post also includes cosmetics from promotions that are no longer available or are normally only available for cash purchase on the in-game store as purchasable items with Trader’s Tender instead, providing an alternative way for players to obtain these items.
Dress for Success
Once you’ve made your purchases, you can visit the ethereal transmogrifier who has set up in a convenient location near the shops. They’ll happily take your gold to help you create the perfect look from your new finds, so you can take Azeroth by storm— in style, of course.
A Year of Celebration
Each year Tawny and Wilder (T&W) and the Zen’shiri Trading post celebrate the anniversary of when they first set up shop. Look forward to new rewards when you fill the bar to completion twelve times and earn the year’s achievement.
The Trading Post will also have additional specials from time to time and unique offers to keep you coming back for more.
We hope you enjoy your shopping adventures and can’t wait to see the fabulous new looks you create!
