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!

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

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.

 A House Divided

There are now weekly housing quests for you to do.  I hadn't noticed them before last week when this popped up:

 

So easy, right? Get the homeowner and four other people in your house at the same time and lots of goodies are yours.

Everyone visited but not at the same time.  Here's my son. How I do love him.

 

 

I thought we had all month, but it was just for the week.  That's a good thing.  Somehow trying to get five of us together in one place for five minutes was way to much for our little family group.  

There was Guild Drama.

There was Family Drama.

Too icky. 

I'm happily back to treasure hunting for recipe ingredients for my profession decor, and puttering about moving furniture around.

You can shrink anything down to 20% of it's original size, which makes it fun to find things to use as game pieces on your game table. I need two more pieces.

 

So you think you grab a little ore and herbs, and voila, a new couch?  Noooo.  I'm working on making all of the profession decor for the Classic era.  My Blacksmith and Enchanter both need ingredients from the one place that has them:   The Molten Core.

I've never been in it before today.  So, ya, I couldn't find the entrance for anything because I didn't read the quest text that said transport me to the Molten Core.  Doh.

 

Once in, what a nice greeting committee.

 

Cool monsters everywhere, and they dropped the elemental items I needed, but not enough.  I'm going to have to go back.  Then, equipped with an odd assortment of things, I need to find an NPC in Blackrock Depths to teach me how make Dark Iron Bars.  Decor Hunting isn't for the weak.

 Here's my favorite new character, a Harandir Druid.  I love two of her forms and am horrified by the third.

Regular Form

 

Adorable Feral Form

 

Totally Creepy Flight Form

 

She's going to use a Silvermoon Sweeper like everyone else when flying. 

 

The 12.05 Content Patch is coming April 21.

As I'm going deeper into the Voidstorm daily with my main character, I'm sure not looking forward to it leaking into Silvermoon and Zul'Aman (but not Harandar?) 

You'd think I'd enjoy the Decor Hide and Seek but that is really not remotely appealing.  We will say no more.

What does look fun is:
