 We finally got 5 of us together to get my brother in law his home visiting quest credit.  It should have been easy but, of course that would be crazy.

My brother in law moved his house since I saw it last to a new neighborhood and changed the design completely.  He now has my sister as a neighbor. Isn't that sweet.  He did such a good job of creating a rambling house with a bridge on the second floor. He seemed to have most of the Mechagon decor, I'm so jealous.

Just as when I visited him last time, I was ready to re-design my Horde House, so I removed everything but the kitchen.  It now has cross shaped rooms, L Shaped Rooms, even an octagon room.

Floor one 

 Floor 2

 I put a tiny square room next to the bedroom and made the start of a proper bathroom for it.  Note I used a mechagon item that looks like a toilet for the...toilet.   Unbelievably, while I was taking a screenshot of my new bathroom I got a guild invite. WTF?  Timing city.  Declined.  Definitely enlarge for the guild name.

 I've been playing WoW on my laptop quite a bit in the evenings. I have a new Lenovo Legion laptop. It's lightweight and small by preference after my cumbersome, heavy old Asis laptop with it's keyboard that died and I had to have a clunky one set over the keyboard to play.

My new laptop is a dream and plays the game well, but screenshots are better on my gaming desktop pc with it's huge screen.   This laptop also has a Nvidia overlay which uses Alt + Z to help you take pictures in game.  You can't use Alt + Z to remove the U/I as you normally would, so teeny pictures incoming.

From the Trading Post, I purchased the sets for my Worgen I had liked in an earlier preview.  My pictures here are from the "dressing room" (?) feature that shows you while you're in the shop what your character looks like in the attire.

Epic fail, my attempt at a treehouse.  It's long gone, never fear.

I found a vendor in Valdrakken that not only sold teapots, but tea cups.  Apparently there's some long quest to get one, but once you have it you can buy more.  I thought from what I read you were supposed to do a food tasting daily till you got the one which gave you the quest.  All I ever got were weird food buffs and a cheese head.  I'm going to seek another way.

Last Chapter Notes 4/30/26

 In before midnight, my time!  Really had to scoot to get three posts in today to keep to ten posts a month.  

Here's a nice picture worth a thousand words of my recent achievements.

I'm currently trying to get the profession decor items made from all crafts in each time period.  Several trades are being held up finishing the Classic era by a need for Dark Iron Bars and a few other things dropping from the Molten Core.  Just haven't been able to get back in there.

I've moved to the Outlands era, where Primal Life, Primal Mana and other such things in combination with a need for a boatload of Khorium Ore which I can't get any of are killing me.  Never give up, never surrender.

I also have a band of characters finishing Legion Order Halls.  The need to recruit 20 troups is a major pain, because recruiting them isn't enough, you've got to use them up as well.  I'm following the tip to send them on missions where they will die, the jury is out on whether that is working.

I did get a pretty pink picture of Dalaran (sniff) being moved to the Broken Isles.

And also Legion era squishy faced Jaina.  Voice is the same.

There we go, ten for April. Thanks for stopping by.

The World of Warcraft May Trading Post

 I'm a fan of the Trading Post but haven't purchased much lately.  May's selections have a Gilnean theme, which is always sharp!

https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24259074 

 

I tend to buy mounts if anything, and I like the horses, but they are pretty identical.  One is faster (?)

 

Outfit wise, I'm looking at The Attire of the Gilneas Fox and the Gilneas Loyalist Streetwear.

 

I haven't failed to get the monthly bonus reward for a long time, so one of my Worgens will be wearing the Pyrewood Rebel Streetwear. 

 

 

 

Our House Is A Very Very Fine House

Via MMO Champion   https://www.mmo-champion.com/content/14224-Cozy-Treehouse-Retreat-Bundle-Now-Available

Those 300 decor items coming in patch 12.05?  Decor Duels (PvP Lite Hide and Seek) and Void Assaults (pop up kill em and leave ems) are the only sources so far.  

Incoming Patch 12/07 is on the PTR and it's time to get the next batch of goodies via the Cash Shop!

 The two treehouses and their extra bits can all be had for $75.00 hot real cash!  

You can get just the two tree house exteriors (this isn't giving you a new interior) for $40.00 in a pack.

 

 The two garden packs can be purchased separately for $25.00 each.  

 

I've seen lots of player made treehouse designs, and they're amazing.  I made a pitiful attempt myself which shall never be spoken of.  Keep building, folks!

Secrets of the Horde! Garrison Outpost

As we know, my now level 50 something Blood Elf Paladin is my first Horde Character to survive past level ten.  Go, go, go!  I decided to give her her own Garrison so she can eventually get all of the red dye she wants.  I have never seen even pictures of the Horde Garrison.  Coming to you exclusively now, the Horde Outpost. It's humongous!

 

 

By comparison, the Alliance Outpost is a box in the woods!

 

More as my BE levels that place.  Yikes.

 

For Finding the Highest Peaks in Zul'Aman, I received the Amani Spearhunter's Spit.  I initially thought it was not such a great reward, but I put him to roast in my Alliance Kitchen fireplace.  Look at the steam rising.  Can you smell the bacon?

 

The previous award I received for finding all of the Highest Peaks in Eversong Woods was the Eversong Lantern Painting, also in the kitchen.  I like it a lot.

 

 

Haranir next. 

 

I'm on top of the weekly neighborhood quests, now.  The current is called Going Postal  a nice throwback title for some of us.  You're driving a race course through your neighborhood, delivering mail.  I didn't allow myself to see the timer, because they make me freeze up.  Also, you're navigating through hoops that go suddenly off the road, veering here and there.  

Go!

 Grab those pick ups! Deliver those letters!

 

Score, score score!

Servers Up: Housing Is Down

 

After a long patch day down time, the game comes up with the Americas and Oceania housing disabled.  Back soonish, they say.

I had some tweaking to do.  I'm not happy with my Horde house and I was going to take it back to the studs except for the first room, aka the kitchen. 

I added a staircase to nowhere  in my Alliance House,(I just leveled my house but I'm out of points for new rooms?) and I was going to take the stairs off and remove two candles that got stuck in the new beam of the stair well.  I have things to do. 

I know I can go diving off the coast of Zul'Aman or stop rituals, but (sniff), my house.
