House Poor

 


I've been in decor acquisition mode for about a month.  I stopped adding rooms.  All I do is hunt vendors, look for recipes, use my Draenor Herb gardens for Dyes (which I've made no dyes from yet, I'm just stockpiling), and I go all over to get needed Reputation to buy stuff.   All of a sudden, I noticed my main character had a rather alarmingly low (for her) amount of money.  I might have spent 25k with her alone buying decor and related items.  

So, I decided I needed to clear my quest log anyway, and I sent her to the Undermine, an area where I'd finished the main quest line and scooted, because the music made me buggy and the cartel blah blah annoyed me.   I've done every quest now (except the golf course one), did the delve, which I liked a lot, and have been World Questing for money, and you guessed it, decor!  Much of the decor is awarded from completing quests, some requires Reputation (working on it), and the price is in Resonance Crystals generally rather than gold.  Filling my pockets with all the things. 

I'm charmed by these flamingoes.


 

I don't know why, but I spent a great deal of time trying to catch enough Gold Fish to buy this insanely adorable bathtub.


There are three fishing bobbers I'm fishing my way to getting as well.  So. Cute.

 

I've been on a rather fiendish hunt lately for foods that I can place on my table.   I hate fish in real life but spent an inordinate amount of time getting the reputation, cooking skills and ingredients for the Boralus Style Lobster Platter.

 

This is my Mage, who had the highest Battle For Azeroth Cooking skill to begin with, so I could level her to get that recipe.   I spend quite a bit of time digging around in various character's banks for ingredients for old recipes.  Here's where being a sort of pack rat pays off, because almost always, someone somewhere has the goods.

 

I like my kitchen. It's cozy. After having had characters in various time periods and expansions starving for food, I just like for any of them to walk into the house and voila!  Food, food and more food.  Welcome home, babies.


 

 

Outside, I'm just getting screening between myself and my neighbors.  To my surprise, when I was taking screenshots, I saw my closest neighbor was gone!  Poof!  Sorry guy, but all that green glowy ugly stuff was an eyesore anyway.


 

I'm waiting for the housing upgrade coming soonish that will show you the border of your property so you can place and plan the space better.  In the meantime...


 

And per my spouse's request, here's the view out across the bay from my plot.
