Mind your Tender—while the festive season brings a multitude of merriment and cheer, the fun doesn't end there. We'll be celebrating the second anniversary of the Trading Post in February with an extension to the Reward Bar, allowing you to earn an additional 500 Trader's Tender through a variety of activities and expand your spending power on several selections—including previously released transmogs, mounts, pets, toys, and previous monthly rewards.







Visit T&W** (Tawney and Wilder) just outside the Mage District in Stormwind or the Zen’shiri Trading Post next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar to check out all the latest items*** they have available. Players can also visit the Trading Post in the capital city of Dornogal (The Foregrounds) on the Isle of Dorn, where representatives of both Tawney and Wilder and the Zen’shiri Trading Post are open for business.



Frosty Finds for Decembrrr

Here's a snippet of what you can expect to see when you visit the December Trading Post. Make sure to visit to see the complete array of items on the vendors.

Mount


Reins of the Twilight Sky Prowler



Armor Transmog Appearances


Wings of the Sapphire Monarch
“Challenge the moon to a beauty contest, and win!”


Frostwolf Earmuffs
“For those cold Alterac winters”



Weapon Transmog Appearances


Cheerbringer XL
“You WILL be cheerful—or else!”


Aegis of Yuletide
“Provides bonus protection against humbugs.”



This Month's Bonus Reward


Ensemble: Purple Snugglefin Murloc Romper
“Free Hugs”

Complete activities to fill the bar at the top of the Traveler’s Log found in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J)***, and you'll receive this month's bonus reward — Ensemble: Purple Snugglefin Murloc Romper, just in time to join the next murloc onesie march.



Get the Burden of Unrelenting Justice Transmog Appearance Sets

Players who have earned the monthly special reward from the Trading Post twelve times will be rewarded with the achievement, “Trading Post Enthusiast” along with a new color-shifting transmog appearance — the Burden of Unrelenting Justice set— and two non-color shifting sets representing the day and night version of the color-shifting transmog appearances for a total of three sets!


The Burden of Unrelenting Justice Transmog Appearance Set includes 9 pieces: Head, Shoulder, Chest, Waist, Legs, Feet, Wrist, Hand, and Back (Cloak).

You don’t need to earn the special reward twelve times consecutively to get the achievement and the transmog sets.



How it Works

Get Tender Every Month

At the beginning of each month, players with an active account in good standing will receive 500 Trader’s Tender automatically every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache. 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 on 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

Complete monthly activities listed in the new Traveler’s Log. Each month features a rotating, themed set of activities. These activities provide the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender. 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, participating in holiday activities, and even running Mythic+ dungeons. But you can also choose to take part in activities uniquely designed for the month.

Freeze an Item

Before the month comes to an end, if you haven’t purchased that one “must-have” item yet, don’t worry. You can “freeze” an item so you can purchase it later. When you freeze an item, it will stay available month over month until it is purchased or replaced.

If this month’s offerings didn’t have the items you wanted, you can hang on to your Trader’s Tender to spend later. It won’t go anywhere, and unspent Tender will continue to accumulate each month.

    Yet another completely underwhelming preview. I'm drowning in Tenders.

    People either say not good enough or it is too good and should have been a .003 percent drop off mythic only. How many mythic plus dungeons did this cost us?!?!

    this year's Trading Post has cost us 12 Raid Tiers at this point

    I don't know if im not the right target audience, but the preview never gets me exited for the trading post. I always find something to buy, but seeing them promote those butterfly wings for the eight time this year is... meh.

    Blizzard messed up in the article, the Horde earmuffs are red and the Alliance ones are called "Lion's Crest Earmuffs"

    It's good to finally have a themed shield. That being said, I would have liked a plain candy mint shield over the overwrought one they came up with.

    Another lazy Trading post month, brought to you by Blizzard's Autopilot.

    And yet you'll still play anyway because that's how you people are; complaining about the most insignificant of things but still playing regardless.
