Summary
World of Warcraftrecently confirmed the Kor’kron War Wolf, and other similar exclusive items, won’t be coming to the Trading Post. While it didn’t say they would never make a comeback,World of Warcraftplayers can at least expect these skill-based items to never appear in the Trading Post.
Some achievements inWorld of Warcraftrequire players to accomplish challenging feats in a limited amount of time, such as Ahead of the Curve and Cutting Edge, both of which are earned by beating raids on Heroic and Mythic difficulty while they are endgame content. These achievements often give incredible rewards to those able to complete them. Recently, the Kor’kron War Wolf – the Ahead of the Curve mount from Siege of Orgrimmar – received a Trader’s Tender cost on the Public Test Realm, leading many fans to suspectWorld of Warcraftmight add the prestige mount to the Trading Postin the future.
Now,World of Warcrafthas come forward to dispel this particular rumor. According to aforum post byWoWcommunity manager Kaivax, Blizzard has no plans to release mounts or other rewards from skill-based feats via the Trading Post, including Ahead of the Curve, Cutting Edge, or Gladiator PvP achievements. This means the Kor’kron War Wolf’s Trader’s Tender cost was an accident, or some other fluke of the PTR.
AotC Mounts Won’t Come to the WoW Trading Post
Though Blizzard confirmed prestige rewards would not be coming back via the Trading Post, it did not say the items wouldn’t ever appear elsewhere. Additionally, while it said skill-based collectibles would not come back to the Trading Post, it gave no such confirmation about other time-limited prestige items. Players have discovered Trader’s Tender costs on items like Ichabod, the pet from a past Twitch Support a Streamer drive, and the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur – aWoWgold sink reward more valuable than the one added in Love is in the Air– so fans could possibly still see these collectibles appear on the Trading Post instead.
While some fans who earned these exclusive items back when they were current content dislike the idea, the majority of players would love to see a new way to get them in modernWoW. TheSiege of Orgrimmar raid inWorld of Warcraftis over 10 years old, meaning many fans who are playing the game weren’t around to get mounts like the Kor’kron War Wolf. Players will have to wait and see ifWorld of Warcraftever revives these prestige items, or if they remain exclusive indefinitely.
In the meantime, players have a chance to get a different limited-time item for free. From now through February 27, fans can get Cap’n Crackers, a cash shop pet that was removed from the store late last year, via aFebruary’s Prime GamingWorld of Warcraftreward.
