May 2024 WoW Trading Post: Amber Skitterfly, Pets & Transmog
A retro look at the May 2024 WoW Trading Post: the Amber Skitterfly mount, Pokee and Buzzworth pets, and the full armor and weapon transmog stock.

Key Takeaways
- The May 2024 Trading Post ran during Dragonflight Season 4 on Patch 10.2.7 "Dark Heart", and Blizzard themed the month around spring florals under the banner "Floral Fancies Festoon May's Trading Post."
- The headline reward was the Amber Skitterfly, a new flying mount priced at 600 Trader's Tender.
- Two battle pets rotated in: Pokee, brand new at 400 Tender, and Buzzworth, a returning bee last seen in June 2023, again at 600 Tender.
- The free monthly bonus for filling the Traveler's Log was the Wings of the Amber Monarch back cosmetic, not something you bought with Tender.
- Two more mounts shared the shelf that month: the Blazing Hippogryph (800 Tender) and the returning Royal Swarmer's Reins (800 Tender).
- Roughly two dozen armor and weapon transmog appearances filled out the stock, from the 50-Tender Highborne Scholar's Gloves to the 600-Tender Arsenal: Blades of Elune.
With the shortlist covered, here is what the full May 2024 rotation looked like and how each reward tier priced out.
What May 2024's Trading Post Offered
May 2024 landed in the back half of Dragonflight, with the game sitting on Patch 10.2.7 and Season 4 in full swing. Blizzard leaned into a spring theme for the month, and the free reward for filling the Traveler's Log activity bar was the Wings of the Amber Monarch, a floral back piece earned rather than purchased. The official blurb set the tone: "A variety of new items are flowering in this month's Trading Post. Embrace the spirit of spring when you gild your back with the Wings of the Amber Monarch."
Everything else on the shelf cost Trader's Tender, the monthly currency capped at 1,000 for players who cleared enough Traveler's Log tasks. Because the Trading Post fully rotates on the first of each month, this stock was a May-only window; several of these pieces have cycled back since, but everything named here is the May 2024 snapshot.
Pets and Mounts
The collector headline was the Amber Skitterfly, a new flying mount that hovered on gauzy insect wings for 600 Trader's Tender. It shared the month with two battle pets and two additional mounts, so the "two pets and a mount" framing undersold what was actually on offer:
| Reward | Type | Cost (Trader's Tender) |
|---|---|---|
| Amber Skitterfly | Mount (new) | 600 |
| Blazing Hippogryph | Mount (new to Trading Post) | 800 |
| Royal Swarmer's Reins | Mount (returning) | 800 |
| Pokee | Battle pet (new) | 400 |
| Buzzworth | Battle pet (returning) | 600 |
Pokee was the fresh face of the month at 400 Tender, while Buzzworth returned for 600 Tender after first appearing in June 2023, so anyone who skipped the bee the first time got a second shot at it. With the mount count sitting at three, the biggest decision for spenders was whether to bank Tender for the 800-Tender fliers or grab the cheaper Amber Skitterfly and pocket the difference for transmog. Collectors still hunting rarer drops that never rotate through the Trading Post can explore our WoW mount carries for the ones that only fall in raids and dungeons.
Armor Transmog
The armor rack skewed toward the "Midnight" and "Brick" wardrobe sets alongside a few standout headpieces. Prices ran from 50 Tender for simple slots up to 250 for the marquee crowns:
| Item | Slot | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Highborne Scholar's Gloves | Hands | 50 |
| Sin'dorei Assassin's Shroud | Back | 50 |
| Lively Treads of the Kalu'ak | Feet | 50 |
| Dueler's Brick Shoulder Cape | Shoulder | 75 |
| Dueler's Midnight Shoulder Cape | Shoulder | 75 |
| Trader's Brick Sarong | Legs | 100 |
| Gloves of the Midnight Soiree | Hands | 100 |
| Classic Midnight Tabard | Tabard | 100 |
| Ensemble: Vagabond's Midnight Threads (Returning) | Head and Back | 100 |
| Ensemble: Wanderer's Midnight Trappings (Returning) | Head and Back | 100 |
| Ensemble: Vagabond's Brick Threads | Head and Back | 100 |
| Ensemble: Wanderer's Brick Trappings | Head and Back | 100 |
| Guise of the Golden Masquerade | Head | 200 |
| Ebony Crown of the Red Rose | Head | 250 |
The Ebony Crown of the Red Rose was the single priciest cosmetic on the shelf at 250 Tender, making it the natural splurge for anyone who had banked a full month's currency.
Weapon Transmog
The weapon selection carried the spring theme even harder, with a floral set that spanned nearly every weapon class. The Arsenal bundle sat at the top of the price ladder:
| Item | Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Primeval Maul | 2-Hand Mace | 75 |
| Leaky Bucket | Off-Hand | 75 |
| Forsaken Cresset (Returning) | Off-Hand | 100 |
| Valarjar Champion's Greatsword | 2-Hand Sword | 200 |
| Paradise's Golden Axe | 1-Hand Axe | 300 |
| Lavish Floral Edge | Dagger | 300 |
| Lavish Floral Stalk | Polearm | 300 |
| Sunny Bow-quet | Bow | 300 |
| Sunny Floral Staff | Staff | 300 |
| Arsenal: Blades of Elune (Returning) | Dual 1-Hand Swords | 600 |
The Arsenal: Blades of Elune bundle was the deep-pocket buy at 600 Tender, though it handed over two matching swords in a single purchase, which softened the sticker price for anyone chasing a full Elune-themed look.
Where to Spend Your Trader's Tender
The Trading Post itself lived in the capitals. Alliance players visited Tawney and Wilder just outside the Mage District in Stormwind, while Horde players used the Zen'shiri Trading Post next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar. Both vendors showed the same monthly stock, and any unspent Tender did not roll over once the calendar flipped to June, so the practical play was always to clear the Traveler's Log early and commit to a purchase before the reset.
With the rotation being currency-gated rather than luck-gated, May 2024 was a friendly month for newer collectors: 600 Tender covered the marquee Amber Skitterfly outright, and the 400-Tender Pokee left room for a transmog piece or two in the same month.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the featured mount in the May 2024 Trading Post?
The featured new mount was the Amber Skitterfly, a flying insect-style mount that cost 600 Trader's Tender. The Blazing Hippogryph and the returning Royal Swarmer's Reins were also available that month, both at 800 Tender.
How much did Pokee and Buzzworth cost?
Pokee, the new battle pet, cost 400 Trader's Tender. Buzzworth, the returning bee pet, cost 600 Trader's Tender. Buzzworth had previously appeared in the June 2023 Trading Post at the same 600-Tender price.
What was the Wings of the Amber Monarch?
The Wings of the Amber Monarch was a back-slot cosmetic and the month's free bonus reward. Players earned it by filling the Traveler's Log activity bar rather than spending Trader's Tender, which is why Blizzard's announcement highlighted it separately from the paid stock.
Where do you buy Trading Post items?
You spend Trader's Tender at the Trading Post vendors in the capitals: Tawney and Wilder outside Stormwind's Mage District for the Alliance, and the Zen'shiri Trading Post beside Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar for the Horde. Both stock the identical monthly rotation.
Does unspent Trader's Tender carry over to the next month?
No. Trader's Tender does not roll over when the Trading Post rotates on the first of each month, so it was always worth spending May's currency before the June reset replaced the stock.
Can you still get the May 2024 Trading Post items?
Not from that specific rotation, since the Trading Post fully changes every month. Individual pieces do return in later months, though: the Amber Skitterfly, Pokee, and Buzzworth have each cycled back into the Trading Post in seasons after May 2024, often at a lower Tender cost.
