World of Warcraft aims to keep fans engaged longer. The current “trick”: A task and a reward that require you to play for a whole year.
For some rewards in World of Warcraft, you need to play a bit longer. Not everything can be earned in a few hours, and it can sometimes take several weeks before a coveted item finally appears.
However, with the upcoming Patch 10.0.5, this waiting period is raised to a maximum. Because for one of the most beautiful sets, you will need to play actively for at least 1 year of World of Warcraft, as things currently stand.
What has been discovered? The colleagues from wowhead have discovered a new achievement in the game files of Patch 10.0.5 (via wowhead.com). The achievement named “Trading Post Enthusiast” requires you to collect the monthly special reward from the trading post a total of 12 times.
You will receive the “monthly special reward” when you complete enough tasks for the trading post within a month to earn the maximum of 500 trader tokens. For somewhat active players, this should be a breeze, as many of the tasks can be done almost “on the side”.
Completing these missions should ideally be of interest to almost all players, as you earn trader tokens month after month, which you can then spend on transmog, mounts, and other cosmetic rewards. We explain the system in detail in our article about the trading post.
It is important to know that you do not need to do this for 12 consecutive months. If you take a break from WoW in between, your progress is maintained, and you can pick up where you left off.
What kind of set is this? The “Ensemble: Burden of Unrelenting Justice” has as its symbol the helmet of a warden. These are night elves who are dedicated to protecting their people and guarding prisoners – like the well-known night elf Maiev, who has watched over Illidan for millennia.
Although the set was found in the game data months ago, there has been no source so far indicating where and how to obtain the set. It was presumed that it would be available in the trading post, but no confirmation of this has been given yet.
However, do note that these details are currently an unconfirmed but well-founded assumption. The icon and the name of the set fit with the existing data mining, but in theory, it could also be another reward.
In any case, the reward requires a strong long-term commitment from you. However, this shouldn’t be a problem if you recently accepted the annual subscription offer for WoW…
