World of Warcraft Introduces Bonus Trading Post Currency with Important Restrictions

Overview of the Enchanted Sweeper Bundle

The Enchanted Sweeper Bundle, priced at $30 on Battle.net, offers two Valentine’s broom mounts along with 600 Trader’s Tender.
Players can acquire additional Trading Post currency through this highly discussed bundle.
This represents the largest Trader’s Tender offer from microtransactions in World of Warcraft to date.

World of Warcraft has recently unveiled a unique bundle on Battle.net, featuring two charming broom mounts inspired by Valentine’s Day and including 600 Trader’s Tender. Available for purchase until March 31, this $30 bundle has stirred up debate among fans regarding its value and implications.

Details of the Enchanted Sweeper Bundle

The Trading Post serves as an engaging feature within World of Warcraft, allowing players to earn Trader’s Tender by completing various tasks available on the Traveler’s Log. This currency can be exchanged for a selection of cosmetics, toys, and mounts. Notably, February marks the Trading Post’s second anniversary, giving players the opportunity to earn an additional 500 Trader’s Tender, which can be utilized with vendors offering past favorites at attractive discounts.

The Contents of the Bundle

Available for $30 on Battle.net and in the in-game store until March 31. Contents include:
- Twilight Witch’s Sweeper
- Sky Witch’s Sweeper
- 600 Trader’s Tender
It is anticipated that the mounts may be added to the Trading Post, but not before July.

This isn’t the first time microtransactions have included Trader’s Tender. For instance, the purchase of The War Within rewards players with 500 Trader’s Tender, while the Epic Edition offers an additional 500. Previous bundles, like the Corsage Pack and High Scholar’s Pack, provided 200 and 500 Trader’s Tender respectively. However, the recent Enchanted Sweeper Bundle stands out as the most significant Trader’s Tender transaction to date.

Community Response

Feedback from the community has been largely negative regarding the introduction of this new bundle. While the Twilight and Sky Witch’s Sweeper mounts have garnered interest, many players view the further monetization of the Trading Post as excessive. The presence of numerous inexpensive items available from additional vendors celebrating the Trading Post’s anniversary has intensified this sentiment, leading players to feel pressured into purchasing the bundle.

Although the Twilight and Sky Witch’s Sweeper mounts could make their way to the Trading Post later this year, players currently have alternative options. For instance, the pink Love Witch’s Sweeper appears as a new drop during the Love is In the Air event for 2025, while the red Silvermoon Sweeper can be acquired at the Trading Post for 600 Trader’s Tender. Those who opt for the Enchanted Sweeper Bundle will have enough Trader’s Tender for this red option, and can also explore the 750 Trader’s Tender offered through the Plunderstorm Plunderstore if they didn’t redeem it during the event’s initial run.
