World of Warcraft has introduced exciting new in-game items for fans opting for a minimum six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These rewards, themed around the 2025 Zodiac Sign, are available to players who purchase a bulk subscription or are already subscribed, and will be delivered no later than January 31, 2025.
Since 2018, World of Warcraft has incentivized long-term subscriptions with unique in-game rewards, typically updated in January and July, often reflecting the lunar Zodiac signs of each year. The 2024 reward, the Auspicious Arborwyrm, celebrated the Year of the Wood Dragon.
The first six-month subscription offer for 2025 introduces the Timbered Sky Snake, a flying mount for retail WoW, symbolizing the Year of the Wood Snake, and the Timbered Air Snakelet, its smaller counterpart available as a pet in Cataclysm Classic. These items can be obtained through a six-month subscription, but are also available for individual purchase in the in-game store at $25 for the mount and $10 for the pet. The Timbered Sky Snakelet for modern WoW can be bought separately from the Battle.net shop for $10, though it's not part of the subscription reward.
January 2025 Six-Month WoW Subscription Offer
- Timbered Sky Snake skyriding mount for World of Warcraft: The War Within
- Timbered Air Snakelet, a small version of the mount, as a pet for Cataclysm Classic
Existing subscribers on recurring plans will also receive these rewards. They must be redeemed by January 31, 2026, before they're potentially replaced by items themed around the Year of the Fire Horse.
Subscribers choosing a 12-month plan will enjoy additional perks, including the Startouched Furline, Gigantic Grrloc, and Charming Courier mounts for modern WoW, as well as the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. These subscribers will also automatically receive the July six-month subscription offer, making it a particularly appealing choice for mount collectors.
According to World of Warcraft’s 2025 roadmap, retail WoW is set to receive two major patches starting with 11.1 in the coming months, and may even introduce player housing by year's end. For Classic, progression servers will advance to Mists of Pandaria, 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 offers great value and ensures you don’t miss out on any of the action.
