Blizzard has unveiled April's Trading Post collection for World of Warcraft, featuring Darkmoon Faire-themed rewards that will have players looking their "Faire best" this spring. The collection includes a distinctive bird mask transmog set, themed weapons, and the long-requested Darkmoon Faire horse mount that has many players excited.
Darkmoon Faire Comes to the Trading Post
April's Trading Post in World of Warcraft has arrived with a carnival flair, bringing the whimsical aesthetic of the Darkmoon Faire directly to players. The centerpiece of this month's offerings is the "Ensemble: Topsy Turvy Mask" transmog set, featuring distinctive bird-like masks reminiscent of the arakkoa race.
The collection also includes four themed weapons to complement the masks, allowing players to fully embrace the eccentric Darkmoon aesthetic. However, the star attraction for many collectors appears to be the new Darkmoon Faire horse mount, which has been enthusiastically received by the community.
What's Available in April's Trading Post?
The April Trading Post rewards include:
- Ensemble: Topsy Turvy Mask transmog set (featuring colorful bird/arakkoa-style masks)
- Darkmoon Faire horse mount
- Four themed weapons to match the carnival aesthetic
While the exact Trader's Tender cost for each item hasn't been officially announced, players are already discussing whether they have enough currency saved to acquire their preferred items, with many prioritizing the mount.
Community Reactions: Birds, Horses, and Saving Tender
The community response to April's Trading Post offerings has been mixed, with clear favorites emerging. Many players have expressed excitement about the bird masks, with enthusiastic "BIRD MASK" comments appearing throughout the forums, while others note the resemblance to arakkoa aesthetics.
The Darkmoon Faire horse appears to be the most celebrated addition, with players commenting "FINALLY darkmoon HORSE" - suggesting this has been a long-requested mount option. Some players even described the masks as having a "garden gnome" aesthetic, adding to their quirky appeal.
Not everyone is impressed with this month's selection, however. Some forum posters indicated they'll be saving their Trader's Tender for future months, hoping for more appealing options down the line.
Why Not in the Actual Darkmoon Faire?
An interesting point raised by several community members questions why these Darkmoon Faire-themed items aren't available through the actual in-game Darkmoon Faire event. Players noted that the Darkmoon Faire itself "hasn't been updated in years," suggesting that Blizzard might be missing an opportunity to refresh this beloved recurring event.
For players interested in checking out April's Trading Post offerings, they can visit the Trading Post vendors in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, or view the full details on the official World of Warcraft website or the WoW forums.
Whether you're saving your Trader's Tender or planning to spend it all on becoming the bird-masked carnival performer of your dreams, April's Trading Post offers a colorful addition to any transmog collection. The Trading Post will refresh with new items when May arrives, so carnival enthusiasts should grab these Darkmoon delights while they can.
