The big Housing activity has arrived with the Beta stage of the next expansion’s development. Blizzard are sharing all the info on the big new feature, as players get specific tasks each month to complete for various culture and faction-related decor.
The tasks are Trading Post-like and will take place in neighbourhoods and outside. They will reward Community Coupons (for the themed decor), Gold, XP, Crests (at max level), and House XP. A lot of them will be repeatable for smaller rewards. Public neighborhoods will just get random Endeavors selected, while private ones will be able to select them.
If you want some more basic information on just what exactly Endeavors are (and Housing in general), head on over here to Blizzard’s official announcement from a while ago.
Let’s dive into the details.
Below are the additions to housing in Beta:
Taking on Endeavors
Endeavors are a Neighborhood-wide activity open to anyone who lives in the Neighborhood. Endeavors occur approximately once a month and when a new Endeavor becomes available the Neighborhood is provided with the opportunity to learn from various cultures and factions of Azeroth by completing different tasks.
- How to pick an endeavor
- Public neighborhoods will have an endeavor assigned to them.
- Private neighborhoods will have a neighborhood manager choose the endeavor for the neighborhood. Talk to your neighborhood steward to start one.
- Rewards
- Complete tasks to collect community coupons which can be spent at the endeavor trader to purchase themed decor.
- Complete endeavor milestones by completing tasks to unlock new decor on the endeavor trader
- Note: You can spend your community coupons at any endeavor trader, at anytime. Community coupons carry over between endeavors and can be taken to any trader in any neighborhood.
- Assuming the neighborhood you are visiting has reached the requisite milestones, you can purchase the unlocked decor.
- Completing an endeavor will grant a bonus reward to your account of some extra house XP and coupons.
- Developers’ notes: This is not yet implemented.
- Tasks
- Endeavor tasks will both take you back to a zone (or zones) in Azeroth and beyond, and take place in your neighborhood.
- Similar to the trading post, there will be some generic tasks for all endeavors, and many themed ones.
- The themed ones will always be the more efficient tasks.
- Tasks will reward Community Coupons, Gold, XP, Crests (at max level), and House XP, along with providing progress towards the endeavor.
- Completing a task while in a neighborhood group will grant you extra progress towards the endeavor, unlocking milestones faster.
- Many tasks can be repeated for fewer rewards, this is noted by a circular icon on the task.
New This Week
- Additional decor is available from neighborhood vendors, and more new decor (neighborhood and otherwise) will be added throughout the Beta.
