Merchant's Favor

A new tradeskill currency for World of Warcraft: Forever. Two new factions pay it out for waylaid crates of profession materials: the Azeroth Commerce Authority for the Alliance and Durotar Supply and Logistics for the Horde.

  • Shipments30
  • Ranks4, crates from level 10 to 35
  • Per turn-inabout 5 for a low crate reported
  • Trade authorities2

How it works

  1. Loot a Waylaid Crate

    From level 10. An eagerly awaited shipment that never arrived at its destination. Some of its supplies are missing.

  2. Read the label

    It ties the crate to one of 30 shipments.

  3. Fill it

    Add any one bundle from that shipment's list.

  4. Hand it in

    Your side's trade authority pays Merchant's Favor: about 5 for an Apprentice crate of ordinary materials, and 50 for your very first crate, handed in through the Shipping Label quest. Nothing reliable is reported yet about the higher ranks.
