Easiest Trading Post Tasks for December 2023

Key Takeaways

Filling the December 2023 Traveler's Log bar earned Buttercup the Baby Moose, a pink-antlered battle pet, plus Trader's Tender.
The WoW 19th Anniversary overlapped early December, so slaying Doomwalker (100 points) and a /cheer at Leeroy Jenkins (50 points) were quick wins.
Winter tasks rewarded catching a winter pet and killing 30 enemies across cold zones like Winterspring and Storm Peaks.
The Emerald Dream's dragonriding courses, added in Patch 10.2, covered the dragonriding tasks for 150 points.
Old raids paid out: the Lich King in Icecrown Citadel, plus the /cold emote at Ragnaros in Molten Core for 25 points.
December 2023 was Patch 10.2.0 Guardians of the Dream; the event is long closed, so this is a historical checklist.

December 2023's Trading Post log mixed the tail end of the WoW 19th Anniversary with the winter season and the freshly opened Emerald Dream. Filling the bar earned Buttercup the Baby Moose, a holiday battle pet, plus a stack of Trader's Tender. This is a look back at the easiest tasks that filled that December log, written long after the month closed and the game moved on to the Midnight expansion.

What December 2023 Rewarded

The completion reward for the December Traveler's Log was Buttercup the Baby Moose, a battle pet recolored from the Baby Elderhorn and given pink antlers for the holidays. Filling the bar also handed out Trader's Tender in milestones, so a player only needed the easiest tasks to bank the month's currency rather than every entry on the list.

WoW Anniversary Tasks

The WoW 19th Anniversary ran November 16 to December 7, 2023, so its quick tasks were still live into early December:

Slay Doomwalker (100 points): the anniversary world boss spawned in Tanaris near the Caverns of Time, and a group could bring him down fast. He also dropped a chance at the Azure Worldchiller mount.
/cheer at Leeroy Jenkins (50 points): Leeroy Jenkins stood in the Caverns of Time around [53.0, 37.6]; the emote was all the task needed.

Collectors chasing the Azure Worldchiller and other rare drops could browse our WoW mount boosts to round out a collection faster. The two anniversary tasks alone were a painless 150 points toward the bar.

Winter and Dragonriding Tasks

Two task groups rewarded seasonal play:

Catch a Winter Pet (50 points): tame a winter critter such as a Tundra Penguin, Snowy Owl, Arctic Hare, Snowy Treeflitter, Snow Cub, or Alpine Foxling.
Kill Enemies in the Cold (50 points): defeat 30 enemies in a snowy zone like Frostfire Ridge, Winterspring, Dragonblight, Storm Peaks, Icecrown, or Dun Morogh. It paired neatly with hunting the winter pets in those same zones.
Dragonriding in the Emerald Dream (150 points): the Emerald Dream added several race courses in Patch 10.2. Clearing the challenge courses and the reverse courses there knocked out the dragonriding tasks together.

Because the winter and dragonriding tasks shared zones and activities, most players cleared them as a single afternoon of overworld play.

Old Raids and Everyday Filler

Old raid runs and a couple of standing tasks closed out the bar:

Kill the Lich King (50 points): a run through Icecrown Citadel reached the Lich King after 11 or 12 bosses, depending on whether the group cleared the optional Valithria Dreamwalker.
Shiver at Ragnaros (25 points): use the /cold emote at Ragnaros in Molten Core. The task only counted in Molten Core, not Firelands.
Defeat 5 and 20 Raid Bosses (150 points total): the old-raid bosses killed along the way stacked toward both tiers.
Defeat a Dragon Isles World Boss (100 points): a single weekly kill.
Fulfill Crafting Orders (200 points): placing ten cheap crafting orders, easily done with an alt or a friend, paid out the final block.

Between the anniversary, the winter tasks, and a couple of old-raid clears, the December bar was straightforward to fill. Here are the questions players asked most about the December 2023 log.

FAQ

What was the December 2023 Trading Post reward?

Filling the December 2023 Traveler's Log bar earned Buttercup the Baby Moose, a battle pet recolored from the Baby Elderhorn with pink holiday antlers. The log also paid out Trader's Tender in milestones as the bar filled.

Where did the anniversary Doomwalker spawn in 2023?

The WoW 19th Anniversary Doomwalker spawned in Tanaris, near the entrance to the Caverns of Time. A group could take him down quickly for 100 Traveler's Log points, and he carried a chance at the Azure Worldchiller mount.

How did you complete the Ragnaros Trading Post task?

The task, "Shiver at Ragnaros", asked you to use the /cold emote at Ragnaros for 25 points. It only counted in Molten Core, not in the Firelands version of the fight, so players had to enter the classic raid to tick it off.

Which dragonriding courses counted in December 2023?

The Emerald Dream's race courses, added in Patch 10.2, covered the dragonriding tasks. Clearing the challenge courses and the reverse courses in the Emerald Dream completed the 150-point dragonriding block, and the courses stayed available outside the event.

What was the easiest way to fill the December 2023 bar?

Stacking the overlapping tasks was easiest. The anniversary Doomwalker and Leeroy emote, the winter pet and cold-zone tasks in shared zones, and a single Icecrown clear for the Lich King covered most of the bar, with crafting orders topping off the rest.

Can I still earn Buttercup the Baby Moose?

Not from the December 2023 Traveler's Log, which closed at the end of that month. Buttercup was a limited monthly reward tied to Patch 10.2.0 in Dragonflight. World of Warcraft has since moved to the Midnight expansion, so this list is a historical record.
