You can use Battle.net Balance to buy services like World of Warcraft character transfers, digital products like pets and mounts, and even purchase in-game items for other supported Blizzard games you play.

Buying a Token is simple: just visit the Auction House and use your hard-earned gold to purchase one of the WoW Tokens put up for sale. Once the Token arrives in your in-game mailbox, right-click it to add it to your bag, then right-click it in your inventory. You’ll then be able to choose whether to add 30 days of game time or add Battle.net Balance ($15 USD; currency and amount varies by region) to your Battle.net account.

*WoW Tokens can only be redeemed for Battle.net Balance in the currency associated with the registered Battle.net account address. Other restrictions apply.

FAQ

Q: I need gold! How do I buy a WoW Token for real money and put it up for sale for gold?
A: WoW Tokens are available for purchase for real money through the World of Warcraft in-game Shop. You can access the Shop through the main menu (Esc) or the row of feature buttons next to your character’s bags.

You can then sell your WoW Token through a dedicated exchange in the Auction House, located in the WoW Token section. WoW Tokens cannot be traded or sold any other way.

Q: How much gold will I receive when I sell a WoW Token?
A: The gold value of a Token is determined dynamically based on supply and demand. When you put a Token up for sale, you’ll be quoted the amount of gold you’ll receive upon a successful sale. If you then decide to place the Token up for sale, that amount is locked in, and the gold will be sent to your mailbox after your Token has been sold.

Q: I need game time or Battle.net Balance! How do I buy a WoW Token from the Auction House?
A: When you visit the Auction House, you’ll be presented with the current market price (in gold) for a WoW Token in your game region—there’s no bidding involved, and all Tokens in a game region are priced the same at any given moment. If you decide to purchase one, you’ll receive it in your mailbox, and can then redeem it for game time or Battle.net Balance.

Q: How much game time or Battle.net Balance do I get by redeeming a WoW Token?
A: You’ll receive 30 days of game time or $15 USD (amount varies by currency; currency is based on registered Battle.net account address) in Battle.net Balance when you redeem a WoW Token.

Q: I purchased a WoW Token for gold a while back, but never redeemed it. Can I use that WoW Token to get Battle.net Balance now?
A: Yes, any previously purchased WoW Tokens that you haven’t yet redeemed for game time can now be redeemed for Battle.net Balance (in supported regions).

Q: Is there a limit on how much Battle.net Balance I can redeem using the WoW Token?
A: Yes—for more information, read our Battle.net Balance Restrictions support article.

Q: Can I resell a WoW Token after I’ve purchased it for gold?
A: No, each WoW Token can only be sold once. After you purchase a Token for gold, it becomes Soulbound. At that point, it can only be redeemed for game time or Battle.net Balance.

Q: What happens if the price quoted to me is different from what the Token actually sells for?
A: You will always receive the gold amount quoted to you at the time you place a Token up for sale, regardless of what the current price is when the item actually sells.

Q: If I buy a WoW Token from the Auction House, how long does it take to receive the Token?
A: Just like a standard Auction House purchase, it should arrive in your mailbox within moments after making your purchase.

Q: If I’m buying a WoW Token for real money from the in-game Shop, how long does it take to receive it?
A: Once you successfully complete a purchase, in most cases the Token should arrive in your inventory (or mailbox, if your inventory is full) almost immediately.

Q: Do Tokens expire? What happens if I accidentally delete one?
A: No, Tokens do not expire. They also can’t be deleted, so no need to fear accidentally trashing them.

    Since you can't buy anything from the gear shop with battlenet balance, you can't buy plushies and the likes with it.

    It's 12$/month if you pay for 6 months as far as I know, instead of 15$.

    This seems like a loop hole, so we'll see.

    I love this feature. In a short while, I'm hoping the price soars high enough that I can make a lot of gold from the next 10 pack that I sell.

    Lets say you get 15€, don't I save 2€ already buy choosing BN Balance and buying my Month for 12,99€ with that Balance? The Discount becomes even larger If I buy several months at once. Whats the point in exchanging it for gametime at all? Unless, they plan to increase the monthly sub fee from 12,99 to 15€ of course.

    Also, Even though I have millions from wasting my life force on the shit that was WoD, I can't imagine the time you have to farm even the current EU token price? Like wtf? I earn the 13€ in less than an hour of casual work in my job? why would I waste several hours to get that much ingame at a super low wage rate.

    Gotta love all these tears.

    Apparently wow was the best during vanilla, and surprise, surprise, there was no tokens, you had to pay a sub, most of the stuff you could do was grind and bots were prevalent.

    Suddenly when token went live all the entitled kiddies think WOW deserves to be f2p for them for minimal effort.

    Just pay a sub.

    Don't enjoy the game? Unsub and quit.

    Wow is still cheap for 15$ a month while single player games often cost 60$ and you're done with them under a week with zero replayability value.

    This was a major error. They screwed over EU token users big time.

    Eew and the token price skyrockets.

    Or to be precise: "there are currently no token for sale, try again later".

    Tokens price skyrocketed already with such announcement?
