Wings of the Amber Monarch
With these wings you can go almost anywhere.
Complete activities to fill the bar at the top of the Traveler’s Log found in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J)***, and you'll receive this month's bonus reward — Wings of the Amber Monarch transmog. Embody the spirit of spring everywhere you go when you gild your back with these lovely wings.
Get the Burden of Unrelenting Justice Transmog Sets
It’s been a year since T&W (Tawney and Wilder) and the Zen’shiri Trading Post have been supplying a variety of delightful mounts, pets, toys, and transmogs to the citizens of Azeroth. To celebrate, players who have earned the monthly special reward from the trading Post twelve times will be rewarded with a new achievement, “Trading Post Enthusiast” along with a new color-shifting transmog — the Burden of Unrelenting Justice transmog set.
The Burden of Unrelenting Justice Transmog Set includes 9 pieces: Head, Shoulder, Chest, Waist, Legs, Feet, Wrist, Hand, and Cloak. With the release of the Seeds of Renewal content update, players who complete the twelve months will also receive two non-color-shifting sets representing the day and night version of the color-shifting transmog for a total of three sets retroactively. Players who earn the achievement after the launch of the Seeds of Renewal Content update will automatically receive all three sets for their collection.
You don’t need to earn the special reward twelve times consecutively to get the achievement and the transmog sets.
How it Works
Get Tender Every Month
At the first of each month, players with an active account in good standing will receive 500 Trader’s Tender automatically every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache. If you don’t have active game time on your account or aren’t a subscriber at the start of a new month, don’t worry. Your Tender will be awarded on the first day of the month when you do have game time or an active subscription. This will be the same amount for everyone, regardless of how you pay for your game time.
The Traveler's Log
Complete monthly activities listed in the new Traveler’s Log. Each month features a rotating, themed set of activities. These activities provide the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender. There’s only a set amount of Tender you can earn each month through completing activities, so you won’t need to complete all the ones in the log each month. You’ll be able to pick and choose from a variety of fun in-game activities to easily earn Tender. Players can choose to earn by continuing to play the game as they already do, such as completing quests, competing in battlegrounds, participating in holiday activities, and even running Mythic+ dungeons. But you can also choose to take part in activities uniquely designed for the month.
Freeze an Item
Before the month comes to an end, if you haven’t purchased that one “must-have” item yet, don’t worry. You can “freeze” an item so you can purchase it later. When you freeze an item, it will stay available month over month until it is purchased or replaced.
If this month’s offerings didn’t have the items you wanted, you can hang on to your Trader’s Tender to spend later. It won’t go anywhere, and unspent Tender will continue to accumulate each month.

*The Trading Post feature is not available in WoW Classic titles.
**Requires World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time

We've entered Season 4 and the Awakened raids have arrived, as we'll be rotating through one raid a week, starting with VotI! The charts will be looking quite different week-over-week here in Season 4, so the comparisons will be a little less useful, but it's still fun to see just how much things change as we move from one raid to another.
Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
Mythic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
As expected, we see a giant switch up from Amirdrassil as we head into the Vault, with Marksmanship coming out on top, and by a large margin, followed by Windwalker, with the two specs sticking together and rising from their previous 18th and 19th spots! Outlaw is the most stable spec, as it only drops 1 spot compared to Amirdrassil and Season 3, while Beast Mastery is the most improved, jumping from 2nd to last right into 5th, 20 spots up! The previous No.1, Subtlety, finds itself 16 spots down, with Unholy losing 13 from its old perch at No.2. Some of the more stable specs are Havoc, Arms and Frost DK. We still find Augmentation being incorrectly calculated down in the bottom 3, this time joined by Assassination, which fell off quite a bit, and Affliction, which only dropped 4 spots.
95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Arms is doing a lot better in the generalist bracket, rising 1 from Season 3, as Outlaw falls back behind it. Shadow is also doing a little better here than in the top percentiles, in 6th, as Devastation finds itself further down in 9th, but still doing a lot better than last season. Elemental closes out the top 10, 3 spots higher than the previous week (and raid), while the bottom 3 switches out one Warlock for another.
All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
While it may have lost a lot in the overall damage charts, Unholy is still up there, and actually gains a spot to come out at the very top! Beast Mastery makes a giant leap here as well to land in 2nd, with Fire only gaining 2 spots in 3rd. Devastation finds itself in 6th, quite far away from its almost-bottom-3 position from S3. Speaking of the bottom, Fury drops down there from the middle of the pack, as Balance joins from even higher up, losing 16 spots between seasons/raids.
All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Heroic
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Heroic actually remained pretty stable, despite the Season and raid change, with Arcane coming out on top and pushing Subtlety down 1, and Enhancement not even moving at all. Arms and Unholy moved up quite a bit and Marksmanship and Windwalker showed up at the end of the top 10, but those are pretty much all the major changes here.
All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
Marksmanship is also dominating the raw DPS charts, but we do see Demonology come up to 2nd, much higher than in the points charts. Shadow is doing great, even sitting in front of Windwalker, with Fire being fairly stable season-to-season, same as Havoc, and Beast Mastery moving out of the bottom and right on up into 7th. Devastation breaks into the top 10, while Fury is hanging in there, losing 8 spots from its previous 2nd.
