Crested Ember Leafmimic
This sturdy leafmimic can be found only in the warmest of areas. Its red scales allow it to hide undiscovered in the heated alcoves it prefers.
Acquisition Guide
Crested Ember Leafmimic is officially announced for the September 2026 Trading Post rotation. It is a large crested leafmimic reptile with ember-orange scales and leaf-shaped camouflage fins. It is September's bonus reward for filling the Traveler's Log activity bar; it does not cost Trader's Tender. Until the September catalog opens, the mount cannot be claimed early even though its collection entry is already visible.
Wait for the September rotation
Open the Traveler's Log only after the in-game Trading Post has changed to September 2026, then verify that it names “Crested Ember Leafmimic.” An announcement and an early Mount Journal row do not make the reward available during August.
Visit a Trading Post
Use Tawney and Wilder's Trading Post outside Stormwind's Mage District, Zen'shiri beside Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar, or the Trading Post representatives in Dornogal or Silvermoon City. Open the Collector's Cache to collect any available monthly Tender before using the catalog.
Fill September's Traveler's Log
Complete activities listed in the September Traveler's Log until the monthly progress bar is full. Choose activities that match content you already play; only the total activity progress matters, and no Trader's Tender purchase is required for this mount.
Claim it from the Collector's Cache
After the bar reaches 100%, return to the Trading Post and open the glowing Collector's Cache to claim Crested Ember Leafmimic. Finishing the log without opening the cache can leave the reward unclaimed until you return.
Verify the exact variant
Search Collections → Mounts for “Crested Ember Leafmimic” and confirm that it is marked Collected. It is a large crested leafmimic reptile with ember-orange scales and leaf-shaped camouflage fins. Relog once if the Trading Post says Owned but the Mount Journal has not refreshed.
Tips
The Crested Ember Leafmimic is the September completion reward; Aqua and Verdant are the two Tender purchases.
Do not spend Tender expecting it to advance the Traveler's Log—the activity bar is progressed by listed monthly tasks.
