Azeroth Living: A Look at Housing Rewards

Apparently not, though it’d be the perfect way to reintroduce Archeology.

Yea, you would say that

So what you are trying to say is for those of us with thousands of achievement points, we should clear our inventories prior to the patch before getting bombarded with housing items

Brann Bronzebeard says, “The answers are here. I can feel it.”

More than likely, Neighborhoods will be an obligation that you probably cannot opt out of and will have to just deal type thing. :+1:

What is something Cho’gall might say, Alex?

I’m glad legacy stuff is being supported, because I played a lot more in the past than I do now.

I wanna show that.

It’s nice to still have that stuff presentable as decorations.

Also, the professions stuff is nice. As well as farming older content for, well, content lol.

Can’t wait to get my hands on this system, assuming it works just fine ahah.

BLIZZARD PLEASE GIVE US A REMORNIA WALL STAND FROM DENATHRIUS! PLEASEEE.

Beyond that, it would be amazing to get some extra rewards tied to Cutting Edge achievements too!

Would be even funnier if it was an invisible chair.

Just keep the meme (un?)alive, it’s a dead horse after all.

I really hope our interior space could be private or at least we will have the option to get it private or public. Same thing if we get a (little) garden for our house.

Hi! I’ve been loving these deep dives on the housing system that’s work in progress, some of the wording seems to indicate that the houses are account wide, which is to say you can only have as many houses as there are neighborhood locations, is that true?

Hey. blizz; Please let me put down Nine onyxia heads… because I wont be using them specifically as wall hangers. maybe I want live dragon heads at different scales to decorate a area. IK were not getting a outside area (seemingly) so we wont have the space we can customize like in another MMO. but please don’t limit the vomit my house can look. <3 thanks homie.

  • We’re not going to have the decor equivalent of “transmog runs.” We’re still working through what this means in practice (Is it only available during TImewalking? Is there something more deterministic we can do, etc.), but the thought of someone farming a mount for years across multiple characters every week, finally earning it, and then being told “welp, time to go back and grind for the couch” is rough. We’d like to avoid this.

OH MY GOD

a man with long hair and a beard is smiling and saying thank you .

They said you can’t get it all on day one and it’s about the journey …. So ….

You know it will be drip fed and time gated. Maybe it won’t matter if you get a leg up by being a long time player. Maybe they’ll systemize it to beyond their wildest dreams and we will suffer.

I am cautiously optimistic about housing - only because I’m waiting to see how the monkey paw is applied.

Does “your Horde house” and “your Alliance house” mean we only get one house per faction, not each character getting to have their own house? I really wanted to make a variety of houses based around each race

Trust Me, I’m a Profession(al)

We’re not going to bury the lede here: decor will be crafted by ALL existing non-gathering primary professions instead of creating a new profession solely dedicated to it. Each profession will be able to craft a few pieces of appropriate decor from each expansion using that expansion’s version of the profession (e.g., to craft something from Mists of Pandaria, you will need the relevant Mists of Pandaria profession at the appropriate level.)

To craft something, players will need not only the required recipe and skill level, but they will also need to gather a new type of decor-crafting specific reagent per-expansion as well as any required reagents from that expansion.

In general, like most profession-made goods, crafted decor can be traded to other players or sold on the Auction House.

Some examples of what some professions will be able to make:

  • Blacksmithing creates decor made primarily of metal.
  • Enchanting creates magical decor like floating books or glowing orbs.
  • Jewelcrafting creates decor like gems and gem-studded objects as well as being the designated stoneworking profession.

Two of the points above should be underscored: Your professions and their levels from past expansions matter and so do some of the reagents from those expansions. You know, just in case you were looking for something else to do between now and the launch of Housing . . .

This is awesome. Looks like I’m going to have to start working on all my professions.

This is unfortunately the reality. Time gating player power makes sense. But time gating cosmetics that have no effect on end game? That doesn’t

  • You’ll note a mention of “housing-specific” activities earlier. That might be better worded as “neighborhood-specific” activities. . .

Calling it now. I’m head of the neighborhood watch.

One thing that concerns me about making furniture with professions are the ridiculous cooldowns and timegating in draenor professions.

Please consider just removing those cooldowns. It’s stupid I have to craft truesteel every day for a week to make 1 transmog item, and it’ll be stupid if I have to craft truesteel every day for one week to make a stupid chair.
