Trading Post Overview
The Trading Post is a monthly rewards system introduced in World of Warcraft patch 10.0.5. Players earn Trader's Tender by completing a set of tasks listed in the Traveler's Log each month. The log rotates on the first of each month, and unspent Tender carries over.
During October 2023, the Trading Post was themed around Hallow's End, the in-game Halloween celebration that runs for roughly two weeks each October. The monthly task list integrated activities from the seasonal event, giving players a natural reason to engage with Hallow's End content beyond the standard holiday achievements.
The Trading Post itself is located in Stormwind City for Alliance players and the Undercity for Horde players. Rewards purchased there remain in your collection permanently.
October 2023 Rewards
The primary reward for completing the October 2023 Trading Post tasks was the Eve's Ghastly Rider mount, which required the full 650 Trader's Tender earned through the Hallow's End task list.
| Reward | Trader's Tender Required |
|---|---|
| Eve's Ghastly Rider Mount | 650 |
| Spooky Costume Set | 300 |
| Pumpkin Pet | 150 |
Completing all available tasks in the Traveler's Log for October 2023 earned exactly 650 points, meaning the Eve's Ghastly Rider required a full clear of every listed activity.
October 2023 Traveler's Log Activities
The following tasks were available through the Traveler's Log during the 2023 Hallow's End event. Each task contributed a fixed number of Trader's Tender points toward the monthly total.
Bob for Apples With a Hallow's End Mask: 50 Points
Hallow's End masks drop from Trick-or-Treat bags obtained by visiting Innkeepers across Azeroth. Collect any mask and use the apple-bobbing barrel at a participating Inn while wearing it to complete this task and claim 50 Tender.
Defeat the Headless Horseman With All 4 Wicker Men Curses: 100 Points
The 2023 Hallow's End update refreshed the Headless Horseman encounter with four curse mechanics represented by Wicker Man totems. Allowing all four curses to remain active while defeating the Horseman completed the task, awarded 100 Tender, and also granted the achievement Kickin' With the Wick!
Defeat the Headless Horseman Five Times: 100 Points
Simply defeat the Headless Horseman a total of five times across any number of attempts. This stacks with the four-curse task, so both can be completed simultaneously. The five kills grant 100 Tender independently of the curse mechanic.
Visit Candy Buckets: 150 Points
Three separate Candy Bucket tasks appeared in the Traveler's Log, each worth 50 Tender and each requiring only five bucket visits:
- Five buckets in Pandaria — 50 points
- Five buckets in the Dragon Isles — 50 points
- Five buckets in War Mode — 50 points
Because the War Mode task can overlap with either of the other two, players who completed one zone task in War Mode needed to visit only ten total buckets across two sessions rather than fifteen spread across three.
Complete 1 Hallow's End Daily Quest: 100 Points
Hallow's End daily quests are available from quest hubs in Stormwind and the Undercity. Completing a single daily quest in October 2023 awarded 100 Tender.
Complete 5 Hallow's End Daily Quests: 150 Points
Completing five daily quests total, not necessarily on the same day — awarded an additional 150 Tender on top of the single-quest reward. Both milestones contribute independently: finishing five quests claimed 250 Tender in total across both tasks.
FAQ
How many Trading Post points were available during Hallow's End 2023?
The October 2023 Traveler's Log offered exactly 650 Trader's Tender through Hallow's End activities. Completing every task in the list earned the full amount needed to claim the Eve's Ghastly Rider mount without spending leftover Tender from prior months.
What was the main reward for the 2023 Hallow's End Trading Post?
The headline reward was the Eve's Ghastly Rider mount, available for 650 Trader's Tender. It required a full clear of the month's Traveler's Log tasks. The Spooky Costume Set (300 Tender) and Pumpkin Pet (150 Tender) were available at lower point thresholds for players who did not complete every activity.
Where is the Trading Post located in WoW?
Alliance players access the Trading Post in Stormwind City, near the entrance to the Mage Quarter. Horde players find it in the Undercity. Both locations offer the same rewards at the same prices — faction does not affect what you can purchase.
What are the Wicker Men curses in the Headless Horseman fight?
Four Wicker Man totems were added to the Headless Horseman encounter in the 2023 update. Each totem applies a curse to the fight that persists as long as the totem stands. Defeating the Horseman with all four totems active granted the achievement Kickin' With the Wick! and counted toward the Traveler's Log task worth 100 Tender.
How many Candy Buckets do I need to visit for all Hallow's End Trading Post tasks?
Each of the three Candy Bucket tasks required only five bucket visits, for a potential total of fifteen. However, the War Mode task can overlap with either the Pandaria or Dragon Isles task — completing one zone task while War Mode is active reduces the total to ten bucket visits across two sessions.
Can I still earn the Eve's Ghastly Rider mount from Hallow's End?
The Eve's Ghastly Rider was the Trading Post reward for October 2023 and has not been confirmed as a recurring item in subsequent Hallow's End rotations. Hallow's End itself returns every October, but the specific Trading Post rewards change year to year. Check the current month's Traveler's Log to see what See WoW mount carry services are available.
