This can only be placed on a medium lot.

Comment by Shenthul

Does anyone have a clue (or did anyone already test) what happens if I replace the Trading Post after I am exalted with the special faction this building grants access to?
Does one lose items from the faction or can one not interact with this faction anymore? Or does one still need this building for the faction?

The prices on your Trader varies from day to day. I'll update this post with the different values based on the current work order available.

If you have a lot of gold to burn, you can convert your gold into Garrison Resources with a Trading Post Level 1 (or higher).

Buy cheap mats on the auction house (be quick as it clears out fast!), and use work orders to trade them for 30 Garrison Resources. It changes per day, so have room to bank surplus as you wait for a trade to be available.

Here is a list of vendors that show up at the post with the best for each area.

Best for Fish/Leather: Ribchewer (Horde), Krixel Pinchwhistle (Horde), Krixel Pinchwhistle (Alliance) and Talgaiir the Ironrender (Alliance) with the fishing items and Raw Beast Hide at 20 Garrison Resources.
Best for Ore: Trader Yula (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.
Best for Herbs: Pyxni Pennypocket (Horde) and Pyxni Pennypocket (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.
Best for Meat: Krixel Pinchwhistle (Horde) Krixel Pinchwhistle (Alliance) with the Meat items at 20 and 25 Garrison Resources.
Best for Enchanting/Cloth: Pyxni Pennypocket (Horde) and Pyxni Pennypocket (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.
~~Best for Chameleon Lotus: Tradesman Portanuus (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.~~

This is the List of all possible vendors:

Horde:
Ribchewer: Fish / Leather 20xGarrison Resources
Pyxni Pennypocket: Herbs / Draenic Dust 20xGarrison Resources
Krixel Pinchwhistle: Meats/ Fish 20x and 25xGarrison Resources
Tai'tasi: 30xGarrison Resources all items except gold packs
Elder Surehide: Ore / Sumptuous Fur 20xGarrison Resources

Alliance:
Krixel Pinchwhistle: Meats/ Fish 20x and 25x Garrison Resources
Pyxni Pennypocket: Herbs / Draenic Dust 20xGarrison Resources
Trader Yula: Ore / Sumptuous Fur 20xGarrison Resources
Talgaiir the Ironrender: Fish / Raw Beast Hide 20xGarrison Resources
Tradesman Portanuus: ~~Chameleon Lotus 20xGarrison Resources~~

All work orders are a daily random item (It is possible for the same item two+ days in a row, but I have not seen it yet.) and give out the same amount of Garrison Resources per work order(30x).

Vendors and work orders can be different every day.

Edit:
here is a list of WO/ V over 2 weeks. To verify any type of pattern.
11/30/14 -----work order: Blackrock Ore -----Vendor: Krixel Pinchwhistle
12/1/14 ------work order: Draenic Dust -----Vendor: Trader Yula

Anyone knows if by upgrading this building to level 2 I get to do 15 work orders per day?

Comment by mamamu91

ATENTION!
You can replace this building with something else and you will keep your rep with laughing skull and you can use helms for transmog, pet, mount etc. But you cant buy them anymore until you build Trading post lvl2 again.

Comment by Makita

~~Is it normal that these work orders don't count for the achievements?~~ Fixed. They count now.

The NPC tab for this page is missing two (2) of the Horde traders, Tai'tasi (same prices as Tradesman Portanuus) and Elder Surehide (same prices as Trader Yula).

Comment by myrkat

Here is a quick "cheat sheet" I use to remember from whom I should buy:
(may need to size your browser to read the table clearly, apologies for spamming this among all the pertinent wowhead pages)

Name Ore Dust Fur Herbs Hide Meat Flesh
----------- --- ---- --- ----- ---- ---- -----
Yula 20* 25 20* 40 50 25 40
Talgaiir 50 50 25 25 20* 40 20*
Portanuus 30 30 30 30 30 30 30

Krixel 30 40 50 50 40 20* 25
Pyxni 40 20* 40 20* 40 50 50

Surehide 20* 25 20* 40 50 25 40
Ribchewer 50 50 25 25 20* 40 20*
Tai'tasi 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
The pattern here, is that there are three (3) traders for the Alliance and three for the Horde, all with the same prices (obviously, or there'd be an outcry); there are also two (2) neutral traders that sell to both sides.

The lowest price for a good is 20 Garrison Resources, with the "worst" price being 50 GR. Each side has a "break even" trader, who sells all goods for 30 GR (Portanuus & Tai'tasi). One profits on any price below 30 GR, and loses on anything above; hence, the "break even."

Ore includes both ore types, Herbs include all the herbs, etc. Meat is the raw meat and egg, while Flesh is the fish flesh (pretty self-explanatory). They all sell the Smuggled Sack of Gold and Bloody Gold Purse for the same prices.

~~my trading post (lvl 2) wont let me give work orders the npc that used to in the lvl1. i need help is this a bug or somthing?~~ XD found her she was blending into the back ground and i didnt notice

Comment by Bandeeto

Even though you can build the Level 2 Trading Post by 94. You can't unlock the quest for the Auctioneer until 96. Was a little bit of a disappointment for me.
