The Mystery Merchant

The town NPC is four shops in a trench coat: a Raid tab with one pity-currency per raid, a Realm tab priced in Mythic Tokens, an Outland tab, and the TBC raid exchange. Every currency’s earn source, every catalog row, every purchase limit — decoded from the config.

Tabs: Raid · Realm · Outland · TBCCurrencies: 7Shop rows: 145, all listed

Brave Prove is the one players ask about first, so here it is up top: it is the Molten Core pity currency. Every boss in Flame Heart 1–3 pays it on the kill, Hero difficulty adds a personal bonus drop, and even a full team wipe pays severance. You spend it back at the merchant’s Raid tab on the exact set pieces that refuse to drop for you.

Brave Prove: how to get it

Kill Molten Core bosses — every kill pays 20–40

All ten Flame Heart bosses carry a Brave Prove award on the kill (zzItems). A full clear of all three wings is 300 Brave Prove, and the Abyss versions pay the identical amounts on top of their own loot — run both difficulties, on every character.

Hero difficulty adds a personal drop

Every boss row carries heroDiffPsnDrop = Brave Prove + Magic Essence — a per-player bonus on Hero difficulty on top of the kill award. Hero clears are strictly better Brave Prove per ticket.

Wiping still pays

Normal-mode wipe compensation (teamDeadReward) is 80 Brave Prove in Flame Heart 1 and 60 in wings 2–3, plus a 15% shot at that wing’s loot Cache. A failed pull is not a zero. Abyss mode pays no wipe compensation.

Side sources: Guild Tower & event reruns

The Guild Tower (MoTa) floors reuse Molten Core bosses and keep their 20–30 Brave Prove awards, and the Reflection event boss pays 30. Small, but they add up on tower nights.

Don’t confuse it with the Battle Pass “Brave Prove”

The Battle Pass awards a different item with the same name (a material, not this currency): 110 per season on the free track, 500 total with the paid track, gated by activity points. That one spends in the Battle Pass shop — mounts at 400 (Silken Lynx, Blaze Warhorse, Fox Messenger, Skywalker…) and Expedition necklace/ring/pages at 5 each. Two items, one name, two different shops.

Amounts identical on Abyss difficulty (separate lockout, separate ticket pool) — a both-difficulties full-clear week is 600 Brave Prove per character before Hero personal drops and wipe pays.

The Raid tab: four pity shops

One sub-shop per raid, each priced in that raid’s own currency, earned the same way Brave Prove is (bosses pay ~30 per kill). The pattern in every catalog: wing Caches are an extra loot roll (cheapest power), set belts and bracers are the slot-pity buyout, Raid Tickets convert currency back into more runs, and the six-figure mounts are the long game. Catalog rows unlock by clearing the named wing.

Buy order: weekly Caches first (750–2,500 for a bonus loot roll, 10–15/week), then the 2,000-cost set belt/bracer for any slot that won’t drop (3/week), then Raid Tickets if you have spare weekly lockouts, and only then start the 100k–200k mount funds — Lava Hound (200k, Molten Core), Princess/Prince Saddles (120k/100k, BWL), Crimson Executioner (130k, Temple), Frost Wyrm (100k, Natrixx). The 150-cost Druid Collection Caches (5/day) are the sleeper pick — cheap collection power on every character.

The Realm tab: Mythic Tokens

Priced in Mythic Tokens, which come from the weekly Grand Mythic leaderboard — your best rank each week pays out, so push your highest key before reset.

The catalog is 56 rows in two halves: cheap refine materials with huge daily caps (Mana/Fel Crystals at 3–5, Starstones, Essences, Ascend Stones), and per-dungeon Collection Caches at 30–150 that unlock as you open each Mythic map. The select-Collection Caches at 100–150 let you pick the exact missing collection piece — the best token sink once your refine mats are capped. Sample of the material half:

Outland & the TBC raid exchange

Outland tab — Paralite

Paralite comes from Outland Packs (and Outland event rewards). Five rows only: Fel Refine Stones (10 for 20), Fel Starstone (10), Star Souls (10 for 50), Star Origin (50), and the Outland Raid Ticket at 30 (10/week) — the ticket is the one to never skip.

TBC raid tab — Prophet Prove & class tokens

Prophet’s Tower bosses pay 30 Prophet Prove each; the tab sells floor Caches at 1,000 (10/week). The set gloves/shoulders/leggings are not currency buys — each exchanges 1-for-1 for the Fallen Hero / Defender / Champion class token that drops in the raid, one purchase per day.
