Summary
- The Trader's Gilded Brutosaur is in WoW's Cash Shop for $90, exclusive to The War Within.
- NPC access to Auction House and Mailbox systems are included.
- Players can also buy the mount with WoW Tokens via Auction House instead of cash.
Blizzard launched a new World of Warcraft mount called the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur via the In-Game Shop that players can purchase while the 20th Anniversary festivities last. With a price tag of $90, this is the most expensive World of Warcraft mount available in the game's Cash Shop at the time of writing.
The Trader's Gilded Brutosaur mount is a recolored version of a mount that World of Warcraft players have not been able to easily get. Originally released during Battle for Azeroth, the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur could be purchased for five million Gold, but became unobtainable once Shadowlands was released. The Brutosaur mount could carry up to two additional passengers, or house two NPC vendors that could repair weapons and armor, and sell various goods. However, its main selling point was remote access to the game's Auction House, which could previously only be done at fixed locations in major hubs such as Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
November 13 is Going to Be a Huge Day for World of Warcraft Fans
As World of Warcraft celebrates its 20th Anniversary, Blizzard states that November 13 will be a day that fans should circle on their calendars.
Although the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur makes rare appearances at the Black Market Auction House, an alternative is now available for World of Warcraft players to consider. According to Blizzard, the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur is now available in the World of Warcraft Cash Shop for $90. This mount is exclusive to The War Within, ergo it is not available in any World of Warcraft: Classic game modes. The mount is part of World of Warcraft's 20th Anniversary Celebration event, and will be available for purchase until the anniversary festivities end on January 6. The Trader's Gilded Brutosaur also includes NPCs that grant Auction House and in-game Mailbox access wherever mounts can be used. As far as appearance, the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur has dark skin and golden armor with different colored jewels on its face, chest, and shoulders.
World of Warcraft Launches Trader's Gilded Brutosaur Mount
- The Trader's Gilded Brutosaur is now available in World of Warcraft's Cash Shop for $90.
- It can only be used in The War Within, and not in Classic game modes.
- NPCs that grant access to the Auction House and Mailbox systems are included.
- The new mount can also be purchased by converting Gold to Battle.net Balance via WoW Tokens.
However, savvy World of Warcraft players who have saved up their Gold can get the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur without spending actual money. By purchasing WoW Tokens via the Auction House, players can redeem one WoW Token for $15 of Battle.net store credit. By purchasing six WoW tokens, players can get the $90 needed to purchase the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur. While this method can make the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur cheaper to purchase via Gold than its predecessor, the Gold cost of the WoW Token can fluctuate at any given moment.
Given that the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur will be available until the end of the anniversary event, it may one day become one of the rarer mounts in World of Warcraft. Only time will tell how many players will purchase a Brutosaur mount.
