There are a lot of things you can use to make your house look nice. You can get these things by doing things in the game. For example you can defeat the bosses in all the expansions of the game.

When you click this button it will take you to the housing interface directly.

If you have not completed the tutorial, for the housing interface yet you will be asked to do it.

The tutorial is something you have to do. You cannot skip it. If you do not complete the tutorial you will not be able to build your house or use the system. You really need to do the tutorial to be able to build your house and use the system.

My First House

When you click the tutorial button you will get your task to unlock the Housing System. This task is going to take you to a place where you will see lots of houses that belong to other players and empty plots that you can have. The task will show you around. Take you to 6 important spots, in that area. You will also meet some people in the game the Housing System people, at these spots.

The last thing you need to do is buy a plot of land. Pick the one that you like the most and talk to its signpost. Now you have a piece of land, in World of Warcraft that belongs to you.

When you buy your plot of land it does not cost you anything.. If you want to buy other plots of land you will have to pay for them. So you should always check the price of the land before you buy it. This way you will know how much the plot of land costs. Buying a plot of land is a deal so make sure you check the price of the plot of land before you pay for it.

Creating a Cozy Home

When you buy a plot a simple house model shows up on it. You can go inside the house through the door and start making it look nice. The house is ready for you to decorate the house.

When you get inside you will have two options:

  • You should finish the decoration tutorial. This tutorial will show you how to put items in the right place. It will also teach you how to change the house. You can make the house bigger or smaller. The tutorial will explain how to add floors. You will also learn how to add windows, doors, walls and other things to the house. The decoration tutorial will teach you about all these things like adding floors and changing the house. It will help you with decorative items.

  • Skip the tutorial and start decorating right away.

We think you should do the decoration tutorial. The system is not that hard to use. You need to know a little bit about it. If you learn more, about the decoration tutorial your future home will look really nice. The decoration tutorial will help you make your home look beautiful.

In the tutorial you will get a task that shows you where to find items and how to get them. The tutorial will teach you about items.

This quest is going to take you to a few people in your neighborhood. You will also meet a group of smugglers. These smugglers sell kinds of decorations. They get these decorations from factions. They take them. Then sell them to people like you. The quest will take you to key NPCs, in your neighborhood and the group of smugglers.

The Old Hearth

The next thing you have to do is go to the contractor who is, in charge of your area. This chief contractor will help you with the quest. You need to talk to the contractor in your district to move forward.

You will go there. Learn all about the different house tiers. The house tiers are important because they tell you how to make your home bigger by adding rooms and floors to your house.

Your house tier is really important because it helps you get things. The higher your house tier is, the things you can do. You can make your house tier better by doing Neighborhood Ventures quests where you live. You can also make it better by getting items that are Uncommon or even better, than that.

This is the tutorial thing we have to do. When we are done with this we can go back, to our house. Start making it look the way we want the house to look.

Moving to Another District

When you are doing the tutorial the game will give you your district. This district has a lot of spaces where you can build things. You cannot pick a district when you are doing the tutorial. What happens if you do not like the district they give you? What if the people you play with, like your guild or friends have made their district and you want to build things there with them?

When this happens the game has a way to move you to a place. After you finish the tutorial you can talk to Lissabel, the Dawnflower in your area. She will let you pick a different area that is a better fit for you, with empty spaces available.

You will see an interface that shows you districts. It also shows you invitations, to registered districts. This happens when your friends or guild members have invited you to these districts. The interface displays all these things together.

The system is going to show you districts that have least one empty plot. If a district is completely full you will not be able to build until someone leaves a plot in that district. You have to wait for a plot to become available, in the district where you want to build. The system will only show districts with plots so you can see where you can build something new.

When you pick a district you will have the option to move to a place. The good thing is that all the things you set up in your house will be moved too so you can start doing things in your house away after you get to your new plot. You can just keep working on your house soon as you move. Your house settings will all be there so it will be easy to get started in your new home, which is your house.

Where to Find Decorations

The game has a lot of items several thousand of them. You can buy some of these items at the auction house. Some decorative items are also sold by NPCs that you can find all over Azeroth. You can get items by doing quests beating bosses or finishing raids and dungeons with your friends.

Some things, in the game are really hard to find. You can only get these things when something special is happening in the game or when you do something that's not easy to do with the game. These things are very rare. You have to be playing the game at the right time to get them. The game has events and if you want these things you have to play the game during these events.

We will keep you updated. Let you know how to get the rarest decorative items and the most interesting decorative items. We want to make sure you have the decorative items. The rarest decorative items and the interesting decorative items are what we will be talking about.

You can always look at what the decorations will look like in the Decoration Catalog.

If you want to find out how to get a decoration you can do something cool. Just hover over the decoration. Press the Shift key. This will show you where the decoration comes from and who has it. You will see a marker on your map and a new entry, in your quest list that tells you all about the decoration you want.

Useful Tips

  • You are allowed to have two houses with your account. One house can be in the Alliance territory. The other house can be, in the Horde territory.

  • When you make a house it belongs to the character who made it. You can give someone on your account the job of taking care of the house but that person has to be in the same group, as the character who made the house.

  • To get the nice decorations you need to have a high level house. The level you need is written in the description of each thing you can put inside your house.

  • The number of things you can put inside your house and how big your house is depend on what level your house's. If your house is a level you will have more choices, for what your house can look like. The higher your house level is, the options you will have for building your house.

  • You can decorate your house not only inside but also outside, and you can place some decorative items on your plot of land.
