Trade District

The Trade District (also referred to as the Bazaar District)^[1] is just inside Stormwind City from the main gate. It is the place in the city where you can get most goods. The Guild Master is to the left in the Visitor's Center when you come in and can help you make a guild or a guild tabard. The goods that are sold in the Trade District are cheese, arcane goods and reagents, general goods, flowers, cloth/leather/mail armor, bows, guns, and clothes. The bank, mailbox, and inn are on the southwest side of the Trade District. The Gryphon Master is up a ramp on the east side. Patch 1.9 added the linked Auction House in the center of the Trade District.

In Cataclysm, the Auction House and Bank are both redesigned, with the Auction House moved closer to the Inn. Also, a flight trainer and flying mount vendor have been added to the area that houses the flight master.^[2]

To get to the Trade District, you can head northeast from the Valley of Heroes, southwest from Old Town, southeast from the Cathedral Square, or northeast from the Mage Quarter.

During the War Against the Nightmare, while the Emerald Nightmare's mist enveloped Stormwind City, the Trade District was plunged into darkness.^[3]
