While the vast majority of Player Housing decor can be obtained without relying on random chance, there are a few pieces so far in early access that require some good ol' luck to acquire.

It looks like Midnight will arrive with a much asked-for tweak to Player Housing -- the ability for decor mailboxes to actually function and allow the retrieval of in-game mail.

If you've been frustrated by the slow pace of gathering lumber in The War Within in order to craft player housing decor with your professions, then good news -- new achievements have been added to the Midnight beta that allow for mounted lumberjacking.

If you're seeking the perfect spread for your Player Housing dining room, look no further than the Cooking profession.

One of the more time-intensive aspects of Player Housing so far has been using our profession skills to craft unique decor, and if you've got an army of alts like me you've probably spent a decent amount of the past month flying around Azeroth in search of enough lumber to create two entire house-fulls of adornments.

With the first few weeks of Player Housing under our belt, it's time to really get down to brass tacks about decor collecting -- and finding quests that reward nice things for our homes and gardens can be a bit overwhelming.

Now that we've all picked out our plots and begun the process of setting up our living spaces, we can step back and assess our initial feelings towards World of Warcraft Player Housing.

When the servers came back up for week two of Player Housing, World of Warcraft interior decorators were pleasantly surprised to find that their exterior decor budget had been increased from 200 to 250 at or above House XP Level 3.

It's easy to overlook the other features that dropped with World of Warcraft's patch 11.2.7 because Player Housing has taken up all of our playing time, but when you need a break from interior decorating you can spend some time with Lorewalker Cho brushing up on Elvish history in preparation for Midnight.

Player Housing Early Access is now live in WoW, and one of the many things now on our to-do list is to harvest the lumber required to craft decor items.
