That said, players who need a little more Trader’s Tender can get some via the cash shop.The Enchanted Sweeper Bundle is a $30 offer on Battle.netand the in-game store that includes two mounts: the purple and black Twilight Witch’s Sweeper and the blue Sky Witch’s Sweeper, both of which match former cash shop transmogs of the same name.

The World of Warcraft Enchanted Sweeper Bundle
This is not the first timeWorld of Warcrafthas offered Trader’s Tender in exchange for real money. Players get 500 Trader’s Tender for purchasingThe War Within, but can earn up to 500 more by purchasing the Epic Edition, or half as much for the Heroic Edition. Additionally, the limited-time Corsage Pack and High Scholar’s Pack cash shop bundles also awarded 200 and 500 Trader’s Tender respectively – but at $5 and $25 each, the new Enchanted Sweeper Bundle is the largest Trader’s Tender microtransaction to date.
Needless to say, fans aren’t happy about this new bundle. While the Twilight and Sky Witch Sweeper mounts themselves are popular, few are pleased to see the Trading Post receive further monetization. Players have found it especially predatory that theextra vendors for the Trading Post’s two-year anniversary inWorld of Warcraftprovide tons of cheap items to spend Trader’s Tender on right now, further tempting fans into buying this bundle.
The Twilight or Sky Witch’s Sweeper mounts may come to the Trading Post in the future, but not until at least July. Until then, players have two options for alternative recolors: The pink Love Witch’s Sweeper and the red Silvermoon Sweeper. The former is a new drop from theLove is In the Air instanced encounter inWorld of Warcraftfor 2025, while the latter is available at the Trading Post for 600 Trader’s Tender. While the Enchanted Sweeper Bundle gives fans exactly enough to pick up this mount, players can also use the 750 Trader’s Tender available via the Plunderstorm Plunderstore if they have not already done so during the event’s first run.
