We have the August Trading Post details and the datamined chess sets are finally here! We have the transmogs, hoverboard mount, backpiece and much more.
We’ve been waiting for these for quite a while and now they’re finally here! Drape yourself in royal chess attire and ride one of the two chessboard hoverboard mounts for full Grandmaster style. Not to mention the weapon transmogs, from pawn shields to knight staffs! There’s also some armored warsaber and wolf mounts, Worgli pet, and much more. Let’s dive in.
You can make all the right moves in either dramatic black and red or classic black and white at the Trading Post. This month you can add the Grandmaster’s Prophetic Board mount to your collection. Just like the chess event from Karazhan, your adventures won’t be contained when you soar over the landscape.
Visit T&W** (Tawney and Wilder) just outside the Mage District in Stormwind or the Zen’shiri Trading Post next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar to check out all the latest items*** they have available. Players can also visit the Trading Post in the capital city of Dornogal (The Foregrounds) on the Isle of Dorn, where representatives of both Tawney and Wilder and the Zen’shiri Trading Post are open for business.

This Month’s Bonus Reward
“The chess event was not to be contained. So Medivh fashioned this conveyance to take it on trips.”
Complete activities to fill the bar at the top of the Traveler’s Log found in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J)***, and you’ll receive this month’s bonus reward. Your adventures won’t be contained when you soar over the landscape on the Grandmaster’s Prophetic Board mount.
How it Works
Get Tender Every Month
At the beginning of each month, players with an active account in good standing will receive 500 Trader’s Tender automatically every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache. If you don’t have active game time on your account or aren’t a subscriber at the start of a new month, don’t worry. Your Tender will be awarded on the first day of the month when you do have game time or an active subscription. This will be the same amount for everyone, regardless of how you pay for your game time.
The Traveler’s Log
Complete monthly activities listed in the new Traveler’s Log. Each month features a rotating, themed set of activities. These activities provide the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender. 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. 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, participating in holiday activities, and even running Mythic+ dungeons. But you can also choose to take part in activities uniquely designed for the month.
Freeze an Item
Before the month comes to an end, if you haven’t purchased that one “must-have” item yet, don’t worry. You can “freeze” an item so you can purchase it later. When you freeze an item, it will stay available month over month until it is purchased or replaced.
If this month’s offerings didn’t have the items you wanted, you can hang on to your Trader’s Tender to spend later. It won’t go anywhere, and unspent Tender will continue to accumulate each month.
