World Of Warcraft Announces New Cosmetic Shop And New Currency Coming Soon

World of Warcraft will soon be getting a new type of cosmetic shop in the form of the new Trading Post. Blizzard will also be introducing a new in-game currency called Trader’s Tender that players will be able to use to purchase various cosmetic items which will be refreshed on a monthly basis.

Before you start freaking out about the additional cost, Blizzard says that the new currency can’t be purchased using real-world cash. Instead, active subscribers will be given a monthly stipend of 500 Trader’s Tender with the chance to earn 500 more by completing monthly quests from the new Traveler’s Log.

“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,” said Blizzard. “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.”

Blizzard also said that they’ll be rotating in cosmetics from previous promotions as well as items that are normally available for purchase in the cash shop to offer players an alternative way to obtain premium items without having to spend a dime, apart from their monthly subscription fees. The Trading Post and all associated features is expected to go live on the public test realm soon.
