Blizzard has announced that World of Warcraft's April Trading Post will feature a carnival of rewards from the mysterious Darkmoon Isle, including the striking Violet Darkmoon Charger mount and a special Topsy Turvy Mask Set as the month's bonus reward. The announcement came on March 27, 2025, giving players a preview of the upcoming themed items available next month.
Darkmoon Isle Takes Over April's Trading Post
The enigmatic Darkmoon Faire is extending its influence beyond its monthly appearance in World of Warcraft, with the April Trading Post set to feature a collection of carnival-themed rewards. This special shipment brings the whimsical and sometimes eerie aesthetic of the beloved in-game festival directly to players through the Trading Post system.
At the center of April's offerings is the Violet Darkmoon Charger mount, sporting the distinctive purple and gold color scheme that has become synonymous with the mysterious traveling faire. This mount will likely be one of the higher-tier rewards available through Trader's Tender currency.
Bonus Reward: Topsy Turvy Mask Set
Players who fill their Trading Post activity bar in April will receive the Topsy Turvy Mask Set as the monthly bonus reward. These masks embody the carnival spirit of the Darkmoon Faire, likely offering players unique cosmetic options to add some faire flair to their character's appearance.
The mask set continues Blizzard's trend of offering distinctive cosmetic options as monthly bonus rewards, giving players an incentive to complete various in-game activities to fill their Trading Post meter.
What Other Rewards Are Coming to the Trading Post?
In addition to the mount and mask set, the April Trading Post will feature Darkmoon-themed weapons, allowing players to carry the aesthetic of the mysterious faire into battle. While specific details about these weapons haven't been revealed, they'll likely showcase the distinctive purple and gold color scheme of the Darkmoon Faire.
Blizzard has also hinted at additional unspecified Darkmoon Isle-themed items in the Trading Post, suggesting there will be more carnival-inspired rewards for players to discover when the new inventory arrives in April.
How the Trading Post Works
For newer players or those who haven't engaged with this feature, the Trading Post is a relatively recent addition to World of Warcraft that offers monthly rotating cosmetic rewards. Players earn Trader's Tender currency by completing various in-game activities tracked on their monthly activity bar.
Once enough activities are completed to fill the bar, players receive the bonus reward automatically. The remaining items in the Trading Post can be purchased using the Trader's Tender currency earned throughout the month, giving players choices in which cosmetic rewards they want to prioritize.
The Trading Post refreshes its inventory on the first of each month, so players will be able to access these Darkmoon-themed rewards starting on April 1, 2025.
The Trading Post has new shipments for April, all the way from Darkmoon Isle!
