World of Warcraft Trade Guide

For WOW players, trade is the way they exchange items, World of Warcraft money and some other services. Here is a trade guide teach you how to trade with other players in game.

1. If you want to trade with the character, click on the player character or use a hotkey to select them, right-click in their portrait and select "Trade".

2. There are three areas shows in the window:

Left: What you wish to trade, with items slots and a place to enter any WOW money you wish to pay.
Right: Your target wishes to trade, with several item slots.
Bottom-left: A special "No-trade" slot.

3. Now you can add the items you want to trade or expose and/or World of Warcraft money want to trade on the left side. Drag items you want to give to the other player in the upper slots. Drag an item you want to expose to have some effect (an enchantment usually) applied to it in the special "no trade" slot at the bottom. Some example effects that can be applied via the trade window: Enchantment, Armor Kit, Sharpening Stone or Weightstone, Poison, Pick Lock.

4. Enter any WOW money you want to give in the entry fields at the bottom, confirm the money before the trade complete.

5. When you decide to trade, click the trade button and your area will become highlighted in green. If the player you are trading with clicks their Trade button, their area (the right side) will become highlighted in green also and the trade will complete. If anyone changes the items in their pane, their pane will un-highlight and the Trade button needs to be clicked again.

Notes: There are some rules and you have to follow to trade in game. You can trade during combat. You must be in a certain range of the character you want to trade with to begin the trade. The trade will automatically cancel if you move out of trade range. You can trade an item by dragging it on the target character or their portrait and letting go the left-mouse button when over the character. You can't trade with a character in process of Logout. You can choose to ignore all incoming trades via the options menu. Players with a trial account cannot trade or be traded with. And when trading large numbers of items, right-clicking stacks is much faster than dragging them to the trade window.
