You can purchase a WoW Token from the Shop for real money and sell it on the Auction House for gold, or you can purchase a Token from the Auction House and redeem it for 30-days of Game Time or $15 of Battle.net Balance.

 

For detailed instructions on using this feature, select a section below.

 

I Want Game Time or Battle.net Balance

To purchase a WoW Token for Game Time or Battle.net Balance, select WoW Token while browsing the in-game Auction House. Once you click Buyout and confirm your purchase, your WoW Token will be mailed to you.

Note: Mail containing WoW Tokens will not expire.

After you've purchased a Token from the Auction House, right-click the item in your inventory to open the Redemption window. You can choose to redeem your Token for 30 days of Game Time or $15 of Battle.net Balance.

Note: If you are at or near the Battle.net Balance cap, you cannot redeem a Token for Battle.net Balance.

If you've run out of Game Time but you have a Token in a character’s inventory, you'll be able to consume that WoW Token from the character select screen and refresh your Game Time on any WoW game account connected to your Battle.net Account.

If your Game Time has expired and you can't access your characters, you can purchase and consume a WoW Token directly from the character select screen. Each character on the selected realm will contribute gold to the price of buying the WoW Token. Gold attached to mail in characters' mailboxes will also contribute. 

I Want Gold

Open the in-game Shop in World of Warcraft and purchase a WoW Token. Once you've completed your purchase, the WoW Token will be placed in your inventory. If you don't have any inventory space, the Token will be mailed to you.

Note: Mail containing WoW Tokens will not expire.

To sell your Token for gold on the auction house, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to World of Warcraft on the character that purchased the Token.
  2. Go to any Auction House and place your WoW Token into the Auctions tab as you would for any other auction.
  3. You will be shown the current selling rate for Tokens, and you can choose to list your Token or wait and list it later.

Note: Token auctions cannot be canceled. The Auction House does not take a cut from Token sales.
