The iconic mount has made a surprising return to World of Warcraft. Fans are buzzing with excitement and debate. Known for its divisive nature, this mount stirs up strong opinions among players. It’s available for a limited time, so don’t miss your chance to grab it. Dive back into Azeroth and experience the controversy firsthand!
The $90 Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur is back in World of Warcraft cash shop until January 5! One of the most talked-about mounts ever, this beauty comes with a mailbox and auctioneer, making it super handy for players. But let’s be real—a $90 price tag is a lot, and it stirred up quite the debate among fans last year.
This mount was initially released during the game’s 20th anniversary and generated around $15 million for Blizzard. Now, it’s making a comeback for the dedicated fans who missed out the first time.
$90 Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur Returns
If you have the cash or are willing to spend some serious in-game gold, you can grab this mount now! While it costs $90, there’s a way to buy it with in-game gold through WoW Tokens. Each Token gives you about $20 of Battle.net currency and currently hovers around 360,000 gold. So, if you want the Gilded Brutosaur, you’re looking at about 1,300,000 gold. Keep in mind though, this might spike the price of WoW Tokens, so consider acting fast if you’re planning to go this route.
Interestingly, the price of this mount is the same as the Epic Edition of World of Warcraft: Midnight. That edition scores you not only the new expansion when it drops but also cool stuff like transmogs, pets, and mounts!
Tips and Tricks to Grab the Gilded Brutosaur
- Gold Farming: To reach that 1.3 million gold mark, try some classic gold-making methods like flipping items on the auction house, running old raids for transmog gear, or doing daily and weekly quests.
- Join a Guild: Being in a good guild can open up opportunities for group activities that yield better rewards, including raids, dungeons, and community events.
- Time Your Token Purchases: Keep an eye on the prices of WoW Tokens. Buy them when they’re cheaper, and save them for when you want to make big purchases like the Gilded Brutosaur.
Celebrate with In-Game Events
If you’re not ready to drop the cash, don’t sweat it! The 21st anniversary of World of Warcraft features tons of events and rewards. You can earn the new Loyal Watchman transmog ensemble and the Khaz Algar Enthusiast title. These events run until December 7, ending just before the next patch, 11.2.7, drops on December 2!
Whether you’re saving up the gold, planning your purchases, or diving into anniversary events, now’s a great time to be in World of Warcraft!
