Here is the reward, the currency it sits beside, and the easiest tasks of the month.

The January 2024 Reward and Trader's Tender

January's signature reward was the Golden Mobile Timepiece, a wrist-slot transmog that fit the month's bronze-and-time theme. Filling the Traveler's Log to 1,000 points awarded it outright. It is a cosmetic, not a mount or a pet, and it was the only completion collectible for the month.

It is worth clearing up a common mix-up here: Trader's Tender is not a pet. Trader's Tender is the Trading Post currency. Every account received 500 of it automatically at the start of the month, and the Traveler's Log granted up to 500 more as the bar filled. You spend that Tender on Trading Post stock, including the Golden Mobile Timepiece itself if you would rather buy it than earn it. There was no companion called "Trader's Tender" in January or any other month.

The 50-Point Toy Tasks

January's highest-value easy tasks all used bronze dragonflight toys. Each was worth 50 points, and players who already owned the toys could clear all four in a single trip across the Dragon Isles.

Use the Bronze Dragon Banner Toy in the Dragon Isles: 50 points
Use the Hourglass of Eternity Toy at the Temporal Conflux: 50 points
Use the Stasis Sand Toy at the Temporal Conflux: 50 points
Use the Bronze Racer's Pennant Toy and /wave at Nozdormu in Valdrakken: 50 points

The Temporal Conflux in Thaldraszus was the hub for two of these, so a quick stop there knocked out 100 points before you had to move. Players who were missing a toy could pick it up from the relevant vendor or quest reward and bank the points later.

The 25-Point Emote and Dragonriding Tasks

The cheaper tasks of the month asked for short actions in familiar places. None required combat:

/flex at a Bronze Timekeeper Assistant: 25 points, at any Dragonriding race start
/ponder in Amirdrassil: 25 points, reachable through any raid group or Looking for Raid
Use the Bronze Timepiece during a Dragonriding race: 25 points, the item that restarts a race
Plant 5 Dreamseeds in the Emerald Dream: 25 points

The Bronze Timekeeper Assistants stood at every Dragonriding race, so the /flex task was the fastest 25 points of the month. Planting Dreamseeds doubled up nicely with Dream Wardens reputation for anyone still working that grind.

Filling the Rest of the Bar

Together the four toy tasks and four emote tasks were worth 300 points, a solid head start on the 1,000 needed. Players topped off the bar with the month's larger objectives: world quest and regular quest milestones, weekly gathering quests, and the standard raid-boss tasks. Because the toy and emote tasks were so quick, January was an easy month to finish for collectors who logged in even a couple of times a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the January 2024 Trading Post reward?

The completion reward for filling the January 2024 Traveler's Log was the Golden Mobile Timepiece, a wrist-slot transmog on a bronze-and-time theme. It was the only completion collectible that month and could also be bought with Trader's Tender.

Is Trader's Tender a pet?

No. Trader's Tender is the Trading Post currency. Accounts receive 500 automatically each month and can earn up to 500 more from the Traveler's Log, then spend it on Trading Post items. It is not a pet, mount, or companion of any kind.

What were the fastest points in January 2024?

The four bronze toy tasks paid 50 points each, and the /flex at a Bronze Timekeeper Assistant paid 25 for a single emote at any Dragonriding race. Together the toy and emote tasks covered 300 points with no combat required.

Where is the Temporal Conflux?

The Temporal Conflux sits in southeastern Thaldraszus on the Dragon Isles, the bronze dragonflight's timeways hub. Two January toy tasks, the Hourglass of Eternity and the Stasis Sand, were completed there.

Can I still earn the Golden Mobile Timepiece?

Not from the January 2024 rotation. Trading Post rewards are tied to the month they appear, and the bar resets each month. Blizzard does cycle older rewards back into later Posts, so it could return in a future rotation.

What patch was live in January 2024?

January 2024 began on Patch 10.2.0 "Guardians of the Dream," and Patch 10.2.5 "Seeds of Renewal" launched mid-month on January 16, 2024. Both sat within the Dragonflight expansion, with the Emerald Dream and Amirdrassil as current content.
