Making Fashion Affordable in Beta
If you have been diving into the Midnight Beta, you might have noticed that changing your look was draining your gold reserves faster than expected. Testing environments usually require fluidity, but the initial transmogrification costs were mirroring live server economy standards a bit too closely.
Blizzard has responded directly to tester feedback by lowering these costs significantly within the beta client. This is a logical move; the Midnight expansion places a heavy emphasis on Warband-wide progression and collection sharing. For players to effectively test the new outfit management systems and ensure gear displays correctly across different characters in their Warband, the barrier to entry needs to be low. You shouldn't have to grind gold in a temporary beta build just to test if your shoulders clip through your helmet.
December Trading Post: The Jeweled Sapphire Scarab
While the beta team iterates on systems, the live game is prepping for the December rotation of the Trading Post. Blizzard has confirmed the bonus reward for completing the monthly Traveler's Log: the Jeweled Sapphire Scarab mount.
This mount continues the trend of high-detail creature models we've seen throughout the year. It offers a distinct aesthetic that fits well with the Ahn'Qiraj or Nerubian-themed transmogs many players have been collecting recently. As usual, this isn't something you buy with Trader's Tender directly; it is the capstone reward for finishing your monthly activity bar.
How do I unlock the December bonus reward?
To add the Jeweled Sapphire Scarab to your collection, you simply need to earn 1,000 Travel Points in the Traveler's Log during the month of December. These points are generated by completing a wide variety of in-game activities, ranging from completing dungeons and winning PvP battlegrounds to simpler tasks like completing world quests or engaging in holiday events.
With the Midnight expansion looming, keeping your cosmetic collection up to date is a good way to ensure your Warband looks unified when the new content eventually drops.
