This month’s bonus reward is the Coward’s Violet Target, an archery target transmog for a character’s back. This item continues anunfortunate trend inWorld of Warcraft, as monthly rewards have been much lower quality throughout most of 2024. While early bonuses included high-ticket items like mounts, weapon arsenals, and full outfit ensembles, most recent rewards have been pets, toys, or singular, niche transmog items, much to the disappointment of players.
On August 22, early access forThe War Withinstarts, with the full expansion releasing on August 26. Fans can complete tasks for the Traveler’s Log inthe weeks leading up toWorld of Warcraft: The War WithininWoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria, by participating in the Radiant Echoes Pre-Patch event, or finish up inDragonflightSeason 4.
Players get some Trader’s Tender just forpre-purchasingWorld of Warcraft: The War Within, with bigger stipends for those who get the Heroic or Epic Editions. Fans still have a couple of days to purchase items from the July catalogue, so players who need a little more Trader’s Tender might want to buy one of these upgrades so they can pick up the things they want from either month’s collection.
