The Trading Post provides a variety of items such as appearance cosmetics, battle pets, and mounts which are traded for a new type of currency: Trader’s Tender. This currency is earned by completing a series of achievements. During the intro quest “Tour the Trading Post” — players are gifted 1500 Trader’s Tender from the Collector’s Cache (located next to Zen’kala).
The Trading Post is located near the Warboard in the Valley of Strength (Orgrimmar); and near The Stockade dungeon building (Stormwind). The quest pops onscreen when you enter Valdrakken, and possibly in other locations.
The Trading Post
Text from some of the NPCs and posters share some insights into the Trading Post:
Gothal (Stable Keeper): “The Trading Post gets fresh goods every month. The mounts that are stabled here can be purchased this month! Next month we will have a new selection of good to display and for you to purchase.”
Zaa’je: “Whoa! These outfits and weapons are somethin’ else! Every month Zen’shiri Trading Post gets new stuff and displays them here.”
Trading Post Poster: Welcome to the Zen’shiri Trading Post! Every month our goods and your activities and activity points are refreshed. Make sure to check the Collector’s Cache to collect any tender that you have earned.
- Goods: Every month we get a new shipment of goods to trade with brave adventurers. You can see many examples of the goods we have to offer on display around the trading post. If you’ve got the tender, we’ve got the latest fashions, faithful companions, and steadfast mounts!
- Activities: Every month a new selection of activities will be available to the bravest adventurers. We’ve done our best to make sure whatever types of adventures you like to do, you’ll find an activity for it. You may also see that some of the activities are based on a theme! Open the Traveler’s Log in the Adventure Guide to find this months’ activities.
- Purchasing: Purchasing from the Trading Post could not be simpler, provided you have accrued enough tender. If you see an item you like but you don’t have enouogh tender you can “freeze” it. A frozen item will not rotate out when we get our new monthly shipment. We will hold it for you as long as you like!
Random Achievements: Traveler’s Log
Every month, there will be a themed achievement roster log that rewards you with Traveler’s Tender currency to spend at the Trading Post. This Traveler’s Log can be found at the Adventure Guide.
