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.

    no because the food store and Blizzard are different. Btw there is an expression for what you describe, it's called "poisoned gift".

    your definition of free is worthless. The trading post is indeed at no additional cost but for Blizzard.

    they do, just the stuff is great for DIFFERENT PEOPLE, as its purely subjective...
    those things added this month are great for someone, and things you think were best ever added to TP were absolute and utter shit to someone...

    if i just give you pc game, its not free then? bcs you have to buy pc, pay for electricity, internet perhaps...
    yes, you already have those things for other reasons... same as with wow sub you dolt...

    i mean if you buy sub ONLY to get the TP items its not free for you then, but you would be idiot to do so...
    for people playing the game its COMPLETELY FREE despite your attempted mental gymnastics...

    Best for free, no? As soon as you couldn't afford one thing you want, you'd start moaning that it's too expensive, that the rewards shouldn't be available only for a month, blah blah. No need to deny it, it's in your nature.

    MMO-C seems like the type of people to buy alpha access to a game then complain that it looks like shit with no other explanations.

    Is that Burden of unrelenting Justice set coming out the month after the election as a nod to being unburdened by what has been?

    I really love these Christmas weapon mogs but they should have been the monthly reward, not the murloc set. Let us have fun with these holiday themed items dammit.

    First they would complain about having to buy alpha access.

    your definition of free is worthless. The trading post is indeed at no additional cost but for Blizzard.
    first, no, its not a poisoned gift. You are using that term wrong here or using some olympic level mental gymnastics

    The trading post certainly has a cost for blizzard both in potential losses from putting things on the store and direct cost of paying salaries of the employees that add/design/theme the items and achievements.

    no, because the issue here is how lazy and uninspired the designs are. that is what makes them not worth the price (or time).

    improve the quality, and then the price isnt an issue. or, maintain said drop in quality, but then lower the price accordingly. again, problem solved as well.

    OR: do both. improve quality, lower price, win-win.

    any of these solutions are better than the current pace. but feel free to dismiss everything you dont agree with as whining and attack the person, not the topic.

    I'm sorry that I didn't give your OP a proper attention, it was indeed a very thoughtful and well written post. Didn't sound whingy at all.
