World of Warcraftjust revealed the Auspicious Arborwyrm and Cypress, the new six-month subscription offer rewards. Players can get these new collectibles individually, or at no additional cost by purchasing the recurring six or twelve-month subscription toWorld of Warcraft.

For the last several years,World of Warcrafthas introduced new mountsto give away as a part of the six and twelve-month recurring subscription plans. These new collectibles often share a theme, with the ones introduced in January usually being inspired by the animals and elements of the Chinese Zodiac for that year, such as Lucky Yun, a metal bull mount from 2021, or Jade, Bright Foreseer, the water rabbit from 2023.

Now,World of Warcrafthas revealed its Zodiac-inspired subscription mount for 2024. The Auspicious Arborwyrm is a gorgeous wood dragon that uses the same skeleton as the Winding Slitherdrake. Like its Dragonriding mount counterpart, the Auspicious Arborwyrm can use dynamic flying, though it cannot be customized. Players can buy this mount – as well as Cypress, a miniature pet version forWrath of the Lich King Classic– individually from the in-game store, or at no additional charge by purchasing a recurring six- ortwelve-month subscription toWorld of Warcraft.

January 2024 Six-Month WoW Subscription Offer

Fans interested in getting the Auspicious Arborwyrm through the six-month subscription might consider picking up the twelve-month subscription offer instead. Players who do also receive the Wonderous Wavewhisker – theprevious six-month subscription offer forWorld of Warcraft– and the Ginomrous Grrloc and Gleaming Moonbeast mounts, plus the Glub pet and Nightmarish Emerald Drake mount forWrath of the Lich King Classic. This offer also saves players money on their subscription, so fans who are going to be playing anyway might consider getting these offers and their freebies.

Players will be able to get the Auspicious Arborwyrm in the six-month subscription offer until early July, when they can expect a new mount to replace it. Though it is too early to say what it might be, the offer will swap overright around whenWorld of Warcraftis releasing theWar Withinpre-patch, which will be opening up dynamic flying to hundreds of old flying mounts. However, fans who pick up the Auspicious Arborwyrm will soon be able to use it almost anywhere inWorld of Warcraft, as Dragonriding is going global on January 16 with the release of Patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal.
