World of Warcraft may soon receive a new form of premium currency called Hearthsteel, one that will likely be used to buy housing-specific items.
A datamine by Wowhead of the alpha build for WoW’s upcoming Midnight expansion revealed the currency and a number of icons that show increasingly larger amounts of it, reminiscent of the icons used to denote premium currency bundles. The currencies are linked to a description that states they are part of a housing market bundle.
While Blizzard has not yet released official details about how Hearthsteel will work or what it will be used for, it’s likely it will be similar to that of Trader’s Tender, another premium currency used for the game’s Trading Post vendor. Trader’s Tender is primarily earned in-game by completing monthly challenges. The currency can’t be bought on its own in the in-game shop but is included as part of other shop cosmetic bundles. It’s also given out as a reward for preordering various editions of WoW’s next expansion as well, with more expensive versions of the expansion granting more of the currency.
