The items do not yet have confirmed release months, so this is not a guide to October or November’s final Trading Post rotations. But the prices and reward categories are already present in the PTR data, giving collectors an early warning about another potentially expensive stretch for Trader’s Tender. That warning arrives immediately after September’s enormous Trading Post Outlet brought back years of old rewards, which was perhaps not the ideal month to spend every remaining Tender because a nostalgic mount looked at you.
The Head Chef’s Uniform Costs 700 Trader’s Tender
The most obvious new rewards are:
- Ensemble: Head Chef’s Uniform — 700 Trader’s Tender
- Ensemble: Executive Chef’s Uniform — 700 Trader’s Tender
Both are full transmog ensembles rather than isolated cosmetic pieces, and they appear alongside a collection of kitchen-themed weapons and back items. The PTR list currently includes Baker’s Morganite Tray and Baker’s Citrine Tray for 150 Tender each, plus matching Bulwarks and two cookbooks that also cost 150 Tender apiece.
In other words, Blizzard is finally allowing the player who saves the raid from certain death to look convincingly prepared to complain about ticket times.
The price is substantial, though. Seven hundred Tender is enough that buying both chef ensembles would cost 1,400 Trader’s Tender before adding any of the matching accessories. That is not unusual for large Trading Post sets, but it does mean collectors will need to choose carefully if several of these items appear during the same rotation.
We have already seen how quickly that problem escalates. August’s mount selection alone demanded 1,750 Tender if you wanted everything, and September followed by opening what was effectively Blizzard’s cosmetic warehouse.
You Can Apparently Fight With a Cookbook
The accompanying weapon transmogs may be even better.
Current PTR items include:
- Baker’s Morganite Bulwark — 150 Tender
- Baker’s Citrine Bulwark — 150 Tender
- Baker’s Enchanted Cookbook — 150 Tender
- Baker’s Fiery Cookbook — 150 Tender
- Cotton Candy Lollibop — 150 Tender
- Orange Lollibop — 150 Tender
The cookbooks are weapon appearances, because World of Warcraft reached the point where opening a recipe book during combat was apparently less strange than another sword.
The giant candy weapons continue the same direction. Their existence also makes a seasonal candy-themed rotation seem plausible, but Blizzard has not announced any final monthly theme. Wowhead notes that some of the newly datamined items look naturally suited to autumn and holiday months, but until Blizzard posts the actual Trading Post schedule, a lollipop is merely a lollipop.
It is a large lollipop.
This is still Azeroth.
The Bunmovers Now Have Actual Tender Prices
The new datamine also gives us more information about the motorcycle family we covered earlier this week. the Hot Motocross Bunmover mounts were already identified as likely Trading Post rewards, but the latest data now assigns prices to two variants:
- Hot Motocross Bunmover 4400 — 500 Trader’s Tender
- Hot Motocross Bunmover 4600 — 500 Trader’s Tender
That is useful confirmation that the Bunmovers are not simply decorative PTR models with vague future sources. At least two are now connected to specific Trading Post prices.
There is also an Aubergine Warturkey mount for 500 Tender and the Whaletested Crest-Horn, also listed at 500.
So if one future month contains a chef outfit and two mounts, your Tender balance may discover the culinary meaning of reduction.
The Sorcerer Sets Are Coming Back in More Colors
Another amusing addition is the Ensemble: Sorcerer’s Carrot Garb, currently priced at only 100 Tender. The same datamine contains Sorcerer’s Azure Garb and Sorcerer’s Camo Garb, also at 100 Tender each.
That is particularly relevant because we already covered the Sorcerer’s Grassy Garb Twitch Drop, which ends on September 8. Blizzard appears to be turning the underlying wizard outfit into a wider color family rather than leaving it tied to one limited promotion.
That follows a trend we have seen repeatedly in 2026. Promotional appearances increasingly return through ordinary cosmetic systems rather than disappearing permanently, while alternate colors become easier to distribute through the Trading Post.
It is a healthier approach than making every green hat a historical document.
The New Trading Post Batch Is Much Bigger Than Two Chef Outfits
The full datamined list stretches well beyond cooking gear.
It includes:
- new mounts
- new pets
- multiple Sorcerer ensembles
- seasonal-looking hats and flower crowns
- Dunecloth clothing in several colors
- Ice Walker weapon appearances
- an Ice-Walker ensemble costing 700 Tender
- a Seafarer’s Winter Collection costing 600 Tender
- several pets costing 250 Tender
This is clearly not intended to be one normal monthly Trading Post page. It looks much more like Blizzard is loading future rotations into Patch 12.1.5 all at once.
That is important when planning Tender. BlizzCon 2026 viewers can earn 200 Trader’s Tender through the current viewership rewards, which suddenly looks less like a nice bonus and more like emergency funding for the catering department.
Do Not Treat the PTR List as a Release Calendar
There is one important warning.
These are datamined Patch 12.1.5 PTR rewards. Their current Trader’s Tender costs are visible, but Blizzard has not announced which months will feature them or whether every current price will survive testing unchanged.
Wowhead suggests the candy items could fit an October theme and the cooking items might suit November, but those are logical guesses rather than official scheduling information.
So do not skip a September reward you genuinely want because somebody on the PTR found a cookbook.
But maybe do not spend your final 700 Tender on something you merely think is fine either.
Because somewhere in Patch 12.1.5 is a full Head Chef’s Uniform.
And Blizzard wants 700 Tender for it.
Yes, chef.
