Despite the high price, the new mount is causing a rush that even Blizzard probably wouldn’t have expected.
World of Warcraft is celebrating its 20th anniversary and is celebrating this celebration with numerous events and limited-time offers in the in-game shop. In the latter you can expect, among other things, an extensive anniversary bundle with four mounts each for WoW and WoW Classic for 30 dollars.
However, the time-limited mount is what gets the most attention Gold-adorned Merchant Brutosaurus
. However, not because it is particularly powerful or appealing, but because it is costs more than a full-price PC title.
78 dollars – but with features
While you have to pay less than 4 dollars per mount for the bundle just mentioned, you will be asked to pay a significantly larger sum for the dealer Brutosaurus. With twenty times as muchto be exact. Yes, really!
The new WoW mount costs a whopping 78 dollars. That’s eight dollars more than the usual price of a new AAA game for the PC. And if you add two dollars, there would even be a console version.
In the USA, the Gold-Decorated Trader Brutosaurus costs 90 US dollars, which corresponds to a value of around 83 dollars.
However, the comparison between the mounts from the bundle and the gold-adorned merchant brutosaurus is not entirely fair. The mount pack includes eight mounts, but we’re not sure if you’ll actually like all of them. Next, the mounts are for two different titles, which raises the question of whether you actually actively play both.
Additional features: The gigantic and visually impressive Merchant Brutosaurus comes with two additional practical functions. The mount is so big that not only does it have space for you, but also two NPCs who can help you on your adventure.
One NPC gives you access to your mailbox at any time and the other lets you access the auction house if necessary. The Trader Brutosaurus is, in the truest sense of the word, a mount for traders.

If you are also thinking about buying the mount, you have until 6 January 2025 Time. Then the Gold-Decorated Merchant Brutosaurus disappears from the shops. Afterwards it can probably only be purchased on the black market.
The mount is still very popular
As an alternative to the 78 dollars, the Gold-Decorated Trader Brutosaurus can also be purchased with six WoW tokens, which corresponds to around 1.8 million gold at normal exchange rates. Many players apparently find this offer very attractive. This is shown not only by the following Reddit post, but also by the exchange rate and the availability of WoW tokens.

Due to the popularity of the mount, the prices per WoW token rose from around 300,000 to almost 450,000 gold. At times they were even completely sold out. This has not been the case in Europe for a long time and, given the cause, is close to a sensation.
In fact, there was another Brutosaurus a few years ago. However, this is now only occasionally available on the black market. However, there it is once again four to five times as expensive as the gold-decorated merchant brutosaurus, which is already priced at a steep price. Since the old Brutosaurus has become very rare, you have to expect a purchase price of the gold cap of 9,999,999 gold.
