Key Takeaways
- The Savage Crimson Battle Turtle (500 Tender) is January 2026's only new mount — a crimson-armoured ground turtle with chain harness detailing that won't return to the direct-purchase rotation for several months.
- Vengeful Regalia Ensemble (the full Scarlet Crusade plate look) is the free monthly reward earned by completing Traveler's Log objectives — it cannot be bought with Tender.
- Brilliant Sunburst Peafowl (750 Tender) is a returning golden peacock mount; skip it only if you already own it.
- The Crusader's Ruby weapons cover four slots: Ruby Blade 1H (200 TT), Ruby Greatblade 2H (230 TT), Ruby Mace 1H (200 TT), and Golden Clockwork Doomfist fist (300 TT).
- Golden Clockwork Defender animated shield (260 TT) and Golden Clockwork Power Hammer 2H (325 TT) complete the Clockwork set.
- Wind-Up Wuffi (300 TT) is the returning mechanical puppy battle pet — worth picking up if it's missing from your collection.
Here is the complete item breakdown for January 2026 and a guide to spending your Tender wisely.
January 2026 Trading Post Overview
The January 2026 Trading Post went live under the theme A New Dawn Breaks, carrying a Scarlet Crusade aesthetic across mounts, weapons, and cosmetics. Blizzard published the preview on December 22, 2025, giving players a week to plan their Tender budget before the shop refreshed on January 1. This month's catalogue leads with one new ground mount, several returning favourites, and a wide Crusader-aesthetic weapon set covering most slot types.

The Vengeful Regalia Ensemble — the full Scarlet Crusade plate transmog — is this month's free Traveler's Log reward and is not sold at the vendor for Tender.
How to Prioritise Your Tender
A month's standard passive accumulation lands near 500 Tender. With 500 TT the choice is clear: the Savage Crimson Battle Turtle is the only new mount this rotation and won't reappear on the direct-purchase rack for several months at minimum. Players who have been stockpiling and sit at 750+ TT can add Brilliant Sunburst Peafowl if it's missing from their collection; otherwise, the turtle is the better call.
Transmog collectors on a tighter budget should look at Ensemble: Sorcerer's Brick Garb (100 TT) — the witch-hat and long cloak combination works across cloth, leather, and mail appearances through the transmogrification system. Iron Chainkini (150 TT) appeals to a narrower taste. Both leave room for the mount purchase in the same month.
Weapon collectors face the steepest Tender spend this month. The full Ruby set (Sword 1H + 2H + Mace) costs 630 TT combined. Adding Golden Clockwork Doomfist (fist, 300 TT) and Defender (shield, 260 TT) makes the complete Clockwork set another 560 TT on top. Unless you main a class using multiple of these slot types for visible transmogrification, prioritise the mount over completing a weapon set.
Free Reward: Vengeful Regalia Ensemble
January 2026's Traveler's Log free reward is the Vengeful Regalia Ensemble, a full Scarlet Crusade-aesthetic plate transmog set covering helm, shoulders, chest, hands, legs, boots, belt, and tabard. The ensemble unlocks account-wide on all characters through the Appearances tab once you complete the month's Traveler's Log objectives. No Tender is spent and no vendor visit is required — the set grants itself automatically when the Log registers completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the January 2026 Trading Post go live?
The Trading Post refreshes on the first day of each calendar month. January 2026's catalogue went live on January 1, 2026 and ran through January 31, 2026.
How much Tender can I earn in January 2026?
Blizzard deposits 500 Tender at the start of each month as a passive account bonus. Additional Tender is earned through Traveler's Log activities — PvP, dungeons, world quests, and seasonal events. Unused Tender carries over month to month with no cap.
Is the Vengeful Regalia Ensemble account-wide?
Yes. Once unlocked via Traveler's Log completion it is available across all characters through the Appearances tab in the Collections menu, regardless of armour type.
Does the Savage Crimson Battle Turtle have a flying model?
No. It is a ground mount only, using the Battle Turtle model with crimson armour plating and chain harness details. No flying animation is present.
Is the Brilliant Sunburst Peafowl a new item or a returning one?
Returning. The Brilliant Sunburst Peafowl first appeared in a prior Trading Post rotation. If you purchased it then, you already own it and it is not worth 750 TT this month.
Can I still buy January items if I missed the deadline?
No. Trading Post items rotate out at month end and cannot be purchased once the rotation closes. Some items return in future rotations, but availability is not guaranteed. The only window is January 1–31, 2026.
What is the Traveler's Log?
The Traveler's Log tracks your monthly Tender-earning activities. It lists objectives across different content types — PvP, dungeons, raids, world quests — and awards Tender as you complete them. Access it via the Trading Post icon on the minimap or the button in the Trading Post vendor window.
