WoW Is Literally Putting a Target on Your Back with a New Reward in August’s Trading Post Update

Published:

Fashion may not be everyone’s forte, but looking good can make all eyes turn on you World of Warcraft Trial of Style and the Fashionista Glove return in August. For those looking to jump in with a literal target on their back — for the best of reasons, of course — the Trading Post update will do the same with its latest rewards.

Completing Traveler’s Log in August will earn you The Coward’s Violet Target. It places a very realistic, very purple target center on your back and comes complete with assassination attempt arrows. It’s a bit of a silly and tedious reward considering we’ve seen mounts and entire outfits for completing the monthly journal. Worgli The Apprehensive would be a much better choice, but hey, that’s how it is. Don’t shoot the messenger, even if he’s wearing one of those weird attachments.

Trading Post is a type of battle pass for World of Warcraft

For those of you who can just come back The war withinThe Trading Post is a monthly activity that is not much different from the Battle Pass, but it is free. It is accessed via the Adventure Journal (CTRL+J) and participation in it grants points. Fill the progress bar by the end of the month and you will receive an exclusive reward along with the Traders Tender.

There is a Trading Post and a treasure chest in the capital. You get 500 Trader’s Tender instantly every month, as well as the opportunity to earn another 500 through the Adventure Journal. Sometimes there is an additional way to earn more Tender, such as pre-ordering the Epic Edition The war within. When a up-to-date month starts, these items are swapped out on a up-to-date list. You have the option to freeze one item you can’t afford and hold it between months. But if you miss out on something else you wanted, don’t stress! Most items come back at some point.

More than a few “lanes” have been added to WoW Trading Post

August adds Stormrider Hammers in different colors. If PHeroic or Epic version re-ordered The war withinyou would get the Stormrider outfit. These hammers match the different shades available for this armor set, so to complete the look, choose them first.

Mounts from previous months also return, but the Kor’Kron Warsaber and Sentinel War Wolf are great choices if you have a spare Trader’s Tender. Both have prominent Horde and Alliance faction mounts with armor matching the other team, which I always think is a fun twist.

When it comes to things to do in August, you should have no shortage of things to do. The Trial of Style returns at the beginning of the month, a fun event where players compete to show off themed outfits to groups of five. Taking part in them will certainly allow you to gain a compact amount of points, and if by then The war within starts on August 26, you haven’t earned your entire monthly bonus yetards, don’t worry! The questing in the up-to-date expansion will be more than enough to catch you up.
