WoW Trading Post October 2026: Every Reward, Cost and What to Buy

Quick summary

• Fill the Traveler's Log for the free Ensemble: Thornshadow Assassin's Attire, a seven-piece outfit (Blizzard Watch). Log activities this month tie into Brewfest and Hallow's End.
• There are three mounts at 700 Tender each: the new Bilebound Ur'zul, the returning Headless Horseman's Hallowed Charger, and the Ghastly Charger from the old Trading Card Game. There are also two pets at 350 each.
• Buying the whole stall costs 9,260 Tender for 46 items. That's more than nine months of the 1,000-per-month maximum (Blizzard).
• You can shop in four cities: Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Dornogal and Silvermoon City.
• Stock rotates on November 1. Unspent Tender carries over (Wowhead).

Source	Tender	How often	Source
Collector's Cache	500	Every month, just by opening it	Blizzard
Traveler's Log	Up to 500	Every month	Blizzard

What you need to know:

• Tender is account-wide and shared by every character, because it's a Warband currency (Warcraft Wiki).
• Missed months still pay out. The cache keeps adding 500 a month while your account has a running subscription. Opening it pays the backlog.
• The log pays as you go. Tender lands in the Collector's Cache at set points on the bar, and more comes when you fill it (Blizzard).
• Fall behind and the last week helps. During the final week, "select activities" join a Final Surge that fills the bar faster.

Open the log in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J) after the "Tour the Trading Post" quest.

Filling the Traveler's Log this month rewards the Ensemble: Thornshadow Assassin's Attire (Wowhead, Blizzard Watch).

If you only want the look, finish the log and skip the 700-Tender versions.

Time the log around the holidays. Blizzard Watch says this month's log has objectives tied to Brewfest and Hallow's End. Brewfest ended October 6, and Hallow's End runs October 19 to November 2, 2026 (Wowhead holiday guides). If you missed the Brewfest objectives, the Hallow's End ones and the Final Surge are your catch-up. Our weekly checklist fits normal play around it, and Mythic+ runs count toward the log (Blizzard).

Plan your budget

You can't buy everything. The plans are our suggestions, not source rankings.

Plan	What to buy	Cost	Fits in one month?
Mount collector	One mount and one pet	1,050	Just over 1,000. Use carried-over Tender.
Holiday transmog	Horseman's Hallowed Collection plus two mask sets	1,000	Yes, exactly
Free outfit only	Fill the log, buy nothing	0	Yes. Bank 1,000 for later.
Ninja set	Free Thornshadow, Artisan Katana, Artisan Sai, both nunchucks	470	Yes
Everything	All 46 items	9,260	No. More than nine months of income.

A few rules of thumb:

• Buy what's new first. Returning items like the Horseman's set have come back before.
• Use the freeze. Freeze the item you can't afford yet.
• Check your bank first. Midnight's edition grants and missed-month backlog may have left you more Tender than you think (Warcraft Wiki).

Plan alts and returning players

• Back after a break? Visit any Trading Post and open the Collector's Cache. It pays every missed month while you were subscribed, 500 each (Warcraft Wiki).
• Playing alts? Tender is a Warband currency, so every character draws from one pool.
• New in Midnight? Your edition grant (500 to 2,000) and the intro quest's 500 can cover a mount this month.
• Want to level an alt for the log? See our World of Warcraft hub.
