World of Warcraft April Trading Post Update: New Mounts, Pet, and Transmog Set

The April Trading Post update for World of Warcraft has arrived, bringing a host of new items for players to collect and enjoy. This month's offerings include two new mounts, a pet, and a unique transmog set, all available for purchase with the Trader's Tender currency earned through in-game activities.

New Mounts and Pet Added to the Trading Post

Players can now obtain the Arboreal Pseudoshell and Vicious Snapvine mounts from the Trading Post. The Arboreal Pseudoshell is a plant-like creature that mimics the appearance of Azeroth's terrestrial mollusks, while the Vicious Snapvine is a flying variant of the dangerous Snapvines found in the deep lands. Additionally, the Grumpy Mandrake pet is available, which may 'root against you' according to its description.

Forest Dweller's Butterfly Attire Transmog Set

The highlight of this month's Trading Post update is the Ensemble: Forest Dweller's Butterfly Attire transmog set. This unique set, which includes head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet, and hands pieces, features a fungus-inspired design that embraces the theme of rejuvenation and growth associated with the month of April.

Earning Trader's Tender Through Monthly Activities

To purchase these new items, players must earn Trader's Tender, a currency specific to the Trading Post. All players with an active account in good standing will receive 500 Trader's Tender automatically at the beginning of each month. Additionally, players can earn up to 500 more Tender by completing various in-game activities listed in the Traveler's Log, found in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J).

The activities available in the Traveler's Log rotate each month and include a wide range of options, such as completing quests, participating in battlegrounds, taking part in holiday events, and running Mythic+ dungeons. This allows players to earn Trader's Tender by simply playing the game as they normally would.

Managing Your Trader's Tender and Freezing Items

If players are unable to purchase their desired item before the end of the month, they can choose to 'freeze' the item, making it available for purchase in subsequent months until it is bought or replaced. Unspent Trader's Tender will accumulate month over month, allowing players to save up for high-value items in the future.

Key Takeaways

  • April's Trading Post update introduces new mounts, a pet, and a transmog set.
  • Players can earn Trader's Tender by completing monthly activities in the Traveler's Log.
  • Unspent Trader's Tender accumulates month over month, and items can be 'frozen' for future purchase.
