Summary
Blizzard launched a newWorld of Warcraftmount called the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur via the In-Game Shop that players can purchase while the 20th Anniversary festivities last. With a price tag of $90, this is the most expensiveWorld of Warcraftmount available in the game’s Cash Shop at the time of writing.
The Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur mount is a recolored version of a mount thatWorld of Warcraftplayers have not been able to easily get. Originally released duringBattle for Azeroth,the Mighty Caravan Brutosaurcould be purchased for five million Gold, but became unobtainable onceShadowlandswas released. The Brutosaur mount could carry up to two additional passengers, or house two NPC vendors that could repair weapons and armor, and sell various goods. However, its main selling point was remote access to the game’s Auction House, which could previously only be done at fixed locations in major hubs such as Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
Although the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur makes rare appearances at the Black Market Auction House, an alternative is now available forWorld of Warcraftplayers to consider.According to Blizzard, the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur is now available in theWorld of WarcraftCash Shop for $90. This mount is exclusive toThe War Within, ergo it is not available in anyWorld of Warcraft: Classicgame modes. Themount is part ofWorld of Warcraft’s 20th Anniversary Celebrationevent, and will be available for purchase until the anniversary festivities end on January 6. The Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur also includes NPCs that grant Auction House and in-game Mailbox access wherever mounts can be used. As far as appearance, the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur has dark skin and golden armor with different colored jewels on its face, chest, and shoulders.

However, savvyWorld of Warcraftplayers who have saved up their Gold can get the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur without spending actual money.By purchasing WoW Tokensvia the Auction House, players can redeem one WoW Token for $15 of Battle.net store credit. By purchasing six WoW tokens, players can get the $90 needed to purchase the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur. While this method can make the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur cheaper to purchase via Gold than its predecessor, the Gold cost of the WoW Token can fluctuate at any given moment.
Given that the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur will be available until the end of the anniversary event, it may one day becomeone of the rarer mounts inWorld of Warcraft. Only time will tell how many players will purchase a Brutosaur mount.
