World of Warcraft has introduced exciting new in-game items for fans who opt for a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These rewards, inspired by the 2025 Zodiac Sign, are available to those who purchase or are currently on a six-month subscription, with the items being granted no later than January 31, 2025.
Since 2018, World of Warcraft has delighted its community with bonus rewards for longer subscription commitments, typically refreshing them in January and July. These rewards often align with the lunar Zodiac signs, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm for the Year of the Wood Dragon in 2024.
For 2025, the first new six-month subscription offer includes the Timbered Sky Snake, a flying mount representing the Year of the Wood Snake in retail WoW, and the Timbered Air Snakelet, its smaller counterpart for Cataclysm Classic. These items are automatically granted with a six-month subscription, but they can also be purchased separately from the in-game store for $25 and $10 respectively. The Timbered Sky Snakelet, available for modern WoW, can be bought from the Battle.net shop for $10, though it is not part of the subscription package.
Players currently on recurring subscriptions will also receive these rewards. Both items must be redeemed by January 31, 2026, before they are replaced by new items themed around the Year of the Fire Horse.
Additionally, those who choose a 12-month subscription will receive the Startouched Furline, Gigantic Grrloc, and Charming Courier mounts for modern WoW, along with the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. These subscribers will also automatically receive the July six-month subscription offer, making this an attractive option for avid mount collectors.
World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap promises significant updates, including two major patches starting with 11.1, and possibly player housing by year's end for retail WoW. For Classic, progression servers will advance to Mists of Pandaria, new anniversary realms will progress through vanilla into The Burning Crusade, and Season of Discovery will reach its final phase. With such ambitious plans across all versions of World of Warcraft, securing a bulk subscription now is a smart move for any dedicated player.
