Player Housing finally arrives with the Midnight expansion, and it brings hundreds of decor items to collect. You'll be decorating your new house with everything from PvP trophies to raid boss loot, and this guide covers every farming method available.

When Can You Start Collecting Decor?

The timeline for decor farming depends on what type of item you're after and whether you've pre-ordered Midnight.

What You Can Farm Right Now

Quest rewards and achievement-based decor are available immediately. If you've already completed quests or achievements that reward decor, those items are sitting in your Warband collection right now. You probably have more than you realize. This makes now the perfect time to knock out any incomplete quests or achievements that grant decor.

What Requires Waiting

Drops, profession-crafted items, and vendor purchases won't become available until December 2, 2025 at the earliest. Your specific date depends on purchase status:

  • Pre-order players get access on December 2, 2025 with Patch 11.2.7
  • Everyone else waits until March 2, 2026 when Midnight launches
Note
This only affects drops, crafted items, and vendor purchases. Quest and achievement decor remains open to everyone right now.

Core Farming Mechanics

Before you start farming specific sources, you need to understand how decor collection actually works. It's different from other collectibles in a few important ways.

Drop Rates and Item Limits

Every decor source has a guaranteed 100% drop rate. You'll always get the item when you're eligible. The catch? Only one item drops per kill or completion. No bonus rolls, no extra chances.

Why You Need Multiple Copies

Here's something that might surprise you: decor items aren't like mounts or pets that you learn once and use forever. If you want to place four matching chairs around a dining table, you need to farm that chair four separate times. Each placement requires its own copy of the item.

Instance Lockouts

Raids operate on weekly lockouts. Once you loot decor from a raid boss, you're done with that boss until reset day. Farming raid decor takes patience across multiple weeks.

Dungeons are much more flexible. You can loot the same dungeon boss multiple times per day by resetting the instance manually. After grabbing your decor, exit the dungeon completely, right-click your character portrait, and select "Reset all Instances." This lets you run it again immediately.

Warning
You can only reset instances 10 times per hour. Plan your farming sessions around this cap.

Using the Dungeon Journal

The in-game Dungeon Journal is your best friend for finding decor. It shows you which dungeons and raids contain decor items, which boss drops each piece, and what difficulty you need to run.

Pro Tip
Always check the required difficulty before you queue up. Some decor only drops on specific settings, and running the wrong difficulty means wasted time with nothing to show for it.

Zone Phasing and Hidden Decor

Some decor items exist in zones that have changed over WoW's history. These pieces might be tied to NPCs, quests, or zone states that no longer exist in the current version. That's where phasing comes in.

How Zone Phasing Works

Phasing changes what you see and can interact with in a zone based on expansion storylines or your personal quest progress. A zone might have different areas accessible, different NPCs present, or even different instance entrances depending on your current phase.

Changing Phases with Zidormi

Zidormi is a bronze dragon who appears in zones with multiple available phases. She lets you flip between past and present versions of a zone.

To find her, look for a speech bubble icon on your zone map. Talk to her and she'll offer a dialogue option to switch phases.

In Dustwallow Marsh, for example, Zidormi can show you the zone before Theramore's destruction. This reverted state contains NPCs and items that don't exist in the current timeline.

Critical Note
When farming decor from older content, always check if your target exists in the current phase first. If not, hunt down Zidormi and switch phases before you waste time traveling to something you can't access.

PvP Decor Sources

PvP offers a solid collection of decor, mostly through achievements. Dedicated PvP players will find plenty of themed decorations waiting for them.

How PvP Achievement Decor Works

When you earn an achievement that rewards decor, you get one learnable item. Learning it adds the piece to your House Chest and unlocks vendor purchases for additional copies. Grab your first through gameplay, then buy duplicates with gold.

Vendors for duplicate copies:

  • Horde: Joruh
  • Alliance: Riica

Event and Holiday Decor

WoW's recurring events and special activities offer unique decor you can't get anywhere else.

Brawler's Guild Arena

Brawler's Guild Decor

The Brawler's Guild vendors sell several themed items. You'll need to hit specific ranks and pay gold.

Vendors:

  • Horde (Brawl'gar Arena): Paul North and "Bad Luck" Symmes
  • Alliance (Bizmo's Brawlpub): Quackenbush and Dershway the Triggered

Vendor-Purchased Decor

Vendors across Azeroth and beyond sell decor directly, though accessibility varies.

Freely Available Items have no prerequisites. Walk up, pay gold, walk away with decor.

Locked Items require unlocking through reputation, quest completion, or achievements first.

Duplicate Purchases become available after you unlock an item through quests or achievements. The associated vendor will then sell additional copies, letting you grab multiples without repeating the unlock process.

Profession-Crafted Decor

Every crafting profession produces unique decor items. You can make these yourself or buy them from other players on the Auction House.

Crafted decor includes recipes from Classic through current content. Established crafters probably have access to numerous decor recipes already. Inscription, for instance, has Classic-era recipes that create decor pieces.

Pro Tip
Review your profession recipe list to see what you can already make. If you'd rather skip the crafting grind, check the Auction House for player-made pieces.

Retroactive Expansion Content

Decor isn't limited to Midnight. Blizzard added decor rewards retroactively to content from every WoW expansion. You'll find farming opportunities in:

  • Reputations from all expansions
  • Dungeons and raids spanning the game's history
  • Achievements from every era

This retroactive approach massively expands what's available. Max-level characters can solo most legacy content, making older expansion decor easy to farm without needing a group.

Endeavors: Neighborhood Activities

Endeavors are new activities tied to Player Housing. They take place in your neighborhood and involve other players living nearby.

Participating in these activities earns themed decor and house upgrades. Track available Endeavors and your progress through the Housing Dashboard.

Farming Tips

Start with raids each week. Those weekly lockouts mean you need to plan ahead. Hit raid bosses first, then spend daily sessions on dungeons where you can reset freely.

Check your existing collection. Completed quests and achievements have already credited your Warband. Look through what you own before farming to avoid duplicating effort.

Plan for multiples. Decide how many copies of each item you actually want before you start grinding. A single statement piece needs one copy, but matching sets need several. Factor this into your time investment.

Stack your farming goals. When running legacy content for decor, you're also earning transmog, mounts, pets, and achievements. Pick content that rewards multiple things you want.

Verify your phase. Before traveling to older zones for decor, confirm your target exists in the current phase. A quick Zidormi check saves wasted trips to content you can't reach.

Summary

Housing decor comes from nearly every corner of WoW. PvE players farm dungeons and raids. PvP enthusiasts earn rewards through battleground achievements. Event participants unlock themed items. Crafters make unique decorations through their professions.

The basics to remember:

  • Decor always drops at 100% rate, but only one item per attempt
  • Raids lock weekly while dungeons reset up to 10 times per hour
  • Multiple placements require multiple copies
  • Achievement decor unlocks vendor purchases for duplicates
  • Quest and achievement decor is farmable now; drops and purchases need 11.2.7 or Midnight launch
  • Zone phasing might be necessary for legacy content

Start with content that fits how you already play, track what you've collected, and branch out as you build your dream house.
