The sections below cover each category in the April 2024 rotation, item costs, and how the Trading Post system worked that month.
Plunderstorm Items
The Plunderstorm section was cosmetically themed after the limited-time Plunderstorm event but was completely separate from that event's own Renown reward track. Players did not need to participate in Plunderstorm to purchase these items; they spent Trader's Tender at the standard Trading Post vendors. The standout item was The Dreadwake, a fearsome naval mount that originally required purchasing a 6-month WoW subscription in September 2018. April 2024 marked its first time available to earn via Tender. Players looking to collect additional mounts can browse WoW mount carries for options across all expansions.
| Item | Tender Cost | Type |
|---|---|---|
| The Dreadwake | 800 | Mount |
| Trusty Treasure Trove | 750 | Back Cosmetic |
| Ensemble: Fearless Buccaneer's Slops | 650 | Transmog Set |
| Ensemble: Swashbuckling Buccaneer's Slops | 650 | Transmog Set |
| Crimson Bicorne | 175 | Head |
| Dread Admiral's Bicorne | 175 | Head |
| Frenzied Hat of the Deep Blue | 175 | Head |
| Irontide Raider's Bicorne | 175 | Head |
The four bicorne headpieces were pirate-styled cosmetics. The Trusty Treasure Trove back cosmetic had previously appeared in the September 2023 rotation.

The Savage Blue Battle Turtle was a recolor of the Savage Green Battle Turtle mount. The Lavender Collection and Lavender Apparel ensembles were the spring fashion counterpart to the Buccaneer's Slops sets in the Plunderstorm section.
Weapon Transmogs
Seven weapon transmog items were available in April 2024, spanning daggers, bows, maces, staves, and polearms.
| Item | Tender Cost | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Envenomed Gutripper | 300 | Dagger |
| Warhammer of Hubris | 300 | Two-Handed Mace |
| Emerald Guardian's Longbow | 250 | Bow |
| Codex of Classic Conjurations | 175 | Off-Hand |
| Champion's Jade Cleaver | 150 | Polearm |
| Apprentice's Twisted Crook | 75 | Staff |
| Deforester's Hatchet | 75 | Axe |
Most weapon transmogs in this rotation were recolors of existing models. The Apprentice's Twisted Crook and Deforester's Hatchet were new base models added specifically for the Trading Post.
Monthly Bonus — Aura
April 2024's monthly bonus reward was Aura, a magical baby duck companion pet. Players earned Aura by completing activities listed in the Traveler's Log, found in the Adventure Guide (Shift+J). Completing enough activities to reach the monthly Tender cap triggered the bonus reward automatically. The Traveler's Log was available to players at level 10 and above with an active retail WoW subscription; the Trading Post was not available in Classic WoW titles.
Trading Post Enthusiast Achievement
The Trading Post Enthusiast achievement required players to earn 12 monthly bonus rewards from the Traveler's Log. The 12 months did not need to be consecutive. Completing it unlocked the Burden of Unrelenting Justice, a 9-piece color-shifting transmog set (head, shoulder, chest, waist, legs, feet, wrist, hands, and cloak).
The Seeds of Renewal content update, released in early 2024, expanded the reward: players who finished the achievement also received two non-color-shifting versions representing day and night variants, bringing the total to three sets. Players who completed the achievement before Seeds of Renewal received all three sets retroactively.
How the Trading Post Worked
The Trading Post dispensed 500 Trader's Tender automatically at the start of each month through the Collector's Cache, available to all accounts with an active retail WoW subscription or game time. Players could earn up to 500 additional Tender per month by completing activities in the Traveler's Log. Tender did not expire and carried over month to month.
If a player wanted an item but lacked enough Tender, they could freeze it to hold it for future months. The freeze mechanic allowed items to persist in the shop until purchased, letting players save without risking a rotation miss.
Alliance players visited Tawney and Wilder (T&W), stationed just outside the Mage District in Stormwind. Horde players used the Zen'shiri Trading Post, located next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar.
Frequently Asked Questions

How much did The Dreadwake cost in the April 2024 Trading Post?
The Dreadwake cost 800 Trader's Tender. It was the most expensive mount in the April 2024 rotation and the first time the mount had been available outside the original 2018 subscription promotion.
