It’s time for the Trading Post! August is almost upon us and Blizzard have revealed what’s coming with next month’s rotation. The big headliner here is the Hateforged Blazecyle, previously obtainable through a Mountain Dew promotion. There’s more than one mount, though, with a very on-theme buzzard awaiting players as well. Speaking of the Western theme, there’s plenty of hats, ponchos, bandanas, guns and more! The month’s bonus reward is a particularly stylish Western transmog set as well. There’s some non-themed transmog to check out as well, so let’s get to it.
August’s Trading Post is ready for a showdown, bringing a lineup of mounts, transmogs, weapons, and black and white styles to add a striking new look to your collection. Players can complete activities to earn Trader’s Tender and fill the Traveler’s Log to take aim with this month’s bonus reward—the Ensemble: Midnight Outlaw transmog set.
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 cities of Dornogal (The Foregrounds) on the Isle of Dorn and in the renewed Silvermoon City where representatives of both Tawney and Wilder and the Zen’shiri Trading Post are open for business.

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.
