Your Azeroth Home Awaits: Player Housing Opens December 2!

With the release of the “The Warning” Midnight Prologue content update, players who have purchased any edition of the Midnight expansion can join a neighborhood, purchase a house, and start customizing their new home with Housing Early Access! If you don’t have Midnight yet, don’t worry. You’ll still be able to begin adding to your Housing collection through a variety of activities and achievements, or by purchasing them from vendors throughout Azeroth.

Who is Eligible for Housing Early Access?

Housing for Returning Players

Players who are returning or continuing their journeys into Midnight will receive a quest which will direct them to the Housing tutorial so they can begin learning more about owning a house and decorating it.

Housing for New Players

Players who are new to World of Warcraft and have Midnight will play through the New Player Experience until reaching the end of the initial tutorial on the boat. At the end of that experience, these players will be able to choose to continue the New Player Experience or go directly to the Housing tutorial.

Players Without Midnight

Players who don’t have Midnight as of yet will be able to visit Neighborhoods and collect Housing items from various activities including quests from NPCs located in Orgrimmar, Stormwind, and Dornogal. You won’t be able to purchase a home or join a Neighborhood without the expansion, however.

What’s Available with Housing Early Access?

New Housing Tutorial

Whether you’re a new player or a veteran, you’ll learn the basics of setting up and decorating your new home with the Housing Tutorial.

Join a Neighborhood

Whether you’re part of a guild, have a friend group, or plan to join a public Neighborhood, you’ll be able to establish your new home base in either Founder’s Point (Alliance) or in Razorwind Shores.

• Public Neighborhood: Anyone can join a public neighborhood.
• Guild Neighborhood: Establish a neighborhood just for your guild by visiting the Steward. You’ll need to have at least 10 recently active players (in the last thirty days).

It’s important to note that Endeavors won’t be available until after the pre-expansion content update for Midnight.

Buy a House and Make a Home

Scout your new Neighborhood for the perfect location to set up your new home and purchase a house in your chosen neighborhood. You’ll position it on your new property and start adding your unique touch to the property and your new house.

Decorate With Flair

Put your collection to work designing your new space in either Basic or Advanced Mode. collect over 600+ Housing items from various activities including quests from NPCs located in Orgrimmar, Stormwind, and Dornogal. You can view the available items within the new Housing Dashboard (hotkey- H) in the Decor Catalog tab, some of their sources, how much they cost, and any additional requirements to add them to your collection.

You can also sort through all the available items by type (Furnishings, Accents, Structural, Lighting, Nature, Functional, and Miscellaneous) and Filter your items using a variety of options such as by Style, Culture, Expansion, and more.

Professions

Collect resources and craft decor items to use in your own home or sell them to other players. Explore professions from every era of Azeroth, reaching back to Classic WoW, and put those long-forgotten reagents to good use as you forge expansion-specific rewards. It’s time to dig through your reagent bank—hidden treasures await!

Begin Leveling Up Your Home

Players who purchase homes will be able to begin leveling their home up as they add to their collection even before the Midnight expansion releases. If you don’t have a home yet, don’t worry. As you collect items for your home, you’ll still receive experience which will be applied to your home once you purchase the Midnight expansion and your new in-game home.

Your new home in Azeroth awaits!
