World of Warcraft’s January Trading Post is here, offering players an array of exciting opportunities to earn rewards, exclusive mounts, and other fantastic items. This month, the Trading Post has unveiled a new set of activities designed to help you fill up your activity bar and claim your bonus reward: The Golden Mobile Timepiece.

Introduction to the January Trading Post

The WoW January Trading Post rewards are a much-anticipated part of the game’s monthly cycle, offering players a chance to acquire unique items and experience new adventures. This month’s signature item — the Golden Mobile Timepiece transmog — is a must-have for any serious player.

TIP: If you’re looking to enhance your WoW experience, consider WoW Raid Boosts. These boosts can help you tackle challenging raids, allowing you to enjoy high-level content and obtain exclusive rewards without the stress of forming a group or mastering difficult mechanics.

Note: This timepiece fits under flared sleeves and bulky gloves. You might find it necessary to adjust your attire to see this gleaming time tracker.

The Trading Post can be located in two key areas within the gaming world: just outside the Mage District in Stormwind at Tawney and Wilder’s (T&W) or next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar at the Zen’shiri Trading Post.

The Burden of Unrelenting Justice Transmog Sets

This month also marks the anniversary of the partnership between T&W and the Zen’shiri Trading Post. In celebration of this milestone, players who have earned the monthly special reward from the trading Post twelve times will be rewarded with a new achievement, “Trading Post Enthusiast” along with a new color-shifting transmog — the Burden of Unrelenting Justice transmog set.

The Burden of Unrelenting Justice Transmog Set includes 9 pieces: Head, Shoulder, Chest, Waist, Legs, Feet, Wrist, Hand, and Cloak. With the release of the Seeds of Renewal content update, players who complete the twelve months will also receive two non-color-shifting sets representing the day and night version of the color-shifting transmog for a total of three sets retroactively.

How the Trading Post Works

At the start of each month, players with an active account in good standing will receive 500 Trader’s Tender automatically every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache. The Traveler’s Log provides a rotating, themed set of activities each month that provide the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender. Players can choose to take part in activities uniquely designed for the month or continue to play the game as they already do.

One of the key features of the Trading Post is the ability to “freeze” an item. This allows players to keep an item available month over month until it is purchased or replaced. Unspent Tender will continue to accumulate each month, allowing players to save up for future purchases.

The WoW January Trading Post rewards offer an exciting way for players to engage with the game and earn exclusive items. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a new player, the Trading Post is sure to provide a unique and rewarding experience.
