In this guide, we will be exploring a new addition to the expansion known as the Trading Post. This event offers players a range of rewards that change on a monthly basis. Players can earn a special type of currency by completing various activities, which can then be used to purchase items such as transmogs, mounts, and companions. The system operates in a similar fashion to a Battle Pass, however the key difference is that players use their in-game currency for trading. Now, let's dive deeper to learn more about this feature.
Where you can find Trading post
TRADING POST GOODS
As previously mentioned, players will have access to an array of cosmetic items, pets, companions, and tabards. What makes it even more appealing is that Blizzard promised to add items that are not currently available in the game at this point. Moreover, during the PTR period, players could buy Celestial Steed , which is only available in the shop. It appears that from now on, players have a choice to either buy some items for real money or wait for them to appear in the Trading Posts.
TRADING POST CURRENCY
1. MONTHLY REWARDS
Each month, players will receive a specific number of Trader's Tender. It remains unclear if there will be a catch-up mechanism for players who have inactive subscriptions. Further details will be provided at a later time.
2. THE TRAVELER'S LOG
Trader's Tender can also be earned by completing tasks listed in the updated Traveler's Log. The set of tasks changes each month and players are not required to complete all of them due to the currency cap. You can choose the most appealing tasks and skip the ones you're not interested in. Some of the tasks are related to your usual gameplay like winning in Battlegrounds and Arenas or completing Raids and Dungeons, while others like sharing "/love" to Dragon Leaders or fishing with friends are more fun to do. Every time the bar fills up by 20%, players receive 100 Trader's Tender.
List of activity categoreis in rotation:

TRADING POST ROTATION
Vendors at the Trading Post will offer varying items every month, but that doesn't mean they'll disappear forever. Some of the items may reappear in the future, providing players who missed out on the opportunity to purchase them with a second chance. According to one of the Blue Posts, the traders will sell rare items from past events that can no longer be obtained. This is great news as it offers players another way to acquire these coveted items.
