World of Warcraft has unveiled exciting new in-game items for fans who opt for at least a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These exclusive rewards, themed around the 2025 Zodiac Sign of the Wood Snake, are available to players who purchase a bulk subscription or are already subscribed by January 31, 2025.
Since 2018, World of Warcraft has delighted its community by offering bonus incentives for longer subscriptions, typically refreshing these rewards 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 stunning flying mount for retail WoW, and the Timbered Air Snakelet, a charming pet for Cataclysm Classic. These items can be acquired by purchasing a six-month subscription, but they are also available for individual purchase in the in-game store for $25 and $10 respectively. Note that the Timbered Sky Snakelet for modern WoW can be bought from the Battle.net shop for $10, though it is not part of the subscription reward package.
Players currently on recurring subscriptions will also receive these new rewards. They will be added to qualifying Battle.net accounts no later than January 31, 2025, with a redemption deadline of January 31, 2026, before being replaced by items themed around the Year of the Fire Horse.
Those opting for a 12-month subscription will receive even more benefits, including the Startouched Furline, Gigantic Grrloc, and Charming Courier mounts for modern WoW, along with the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. Additionally, these subscribers will automatically receive the July six-month subscription rewards, making it an exceptional deal for mount collectors.
Looking ahead, World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap promises exciting updates. Retail WoW will roll out major patches, starting with 11.1, and may introduce player housing by year's end. For Classic, progression servers will advance to Mists of Pandaria, new anniversary realms will cover vanilla through The Burning Crusade, and Season of Discovery will reach its final phase. With such ambitious plans, now is an ideal time to secure a bulk subscription and enjoy these exclusive rewards.
