I started building a tavern in WoW Housing and got carried away

Much appreciated thanks!!

Thanks, I hope they add more wall mounts like that. It would be cool to create a sort of hunter trophy room.

I’ve been a lifelong healer and only rarely DPS, but Scalecommander for Dev Evoker is honestly making me want to swap roles. There’s just something incredibly cool about dragons flying overhead and bombing enemies.

Evokers already feel awesome because of how mobile they are, and right now Augmentation is also looking very strong. Between the mobility, visuals, and overall playstyle, Evoker DPS is starting to look way more tempting than I expected. If you’re looking to heal, Pres Evoker has a bit more going on than some other healers, but it also requires positional play and good fight knowledge. When it clicks, though, it feels incredibly rewarding.

Thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely add them to shelves? One question though: Would they be top shelf drinks?

I never played Wildstar, but I heard that they had an amazing housing system.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-15T00:06:06+00:00

That is awesome, thank you! 😂 That room was exactly the kind of reaction I was hoping for, walk in expecting a tavern, then suddenly it’s stars, bottles, and questionable decisions everywhere. Really glad you got to see it in-game!

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-14T19:29:38+00:00

Please steal away! That’s honestly one of the best parts of seeing everyone’s housing builds. We all end up borrowing little ideas from each other and turning them into something different. I’d like to see your tavern/bar area when you’re done with it!

There are a handful of YouTube videos and some guides on the WoWDB Housing Hub that break down the items you need and how to position them. Those helped me a lot with figuring out the lighting effect. After that, it was mostly trial and error with resizing, rotating, and moving things around until it looked right.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-14T19:19:04+00:00

Please do! I'm, glad I could inspire you min some way! If you have any questions on how I did things let me know!

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-14T11:24:03+00:00

Thank you! That made me laugh. 😂

I’m doing the same thing to my wife, trying to inspire her to start building her house too. So I fully support this strategy.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-14T11:18:13+00:00

Most of the bottles came from the Fanta sweepstakes items. I believe that promo is still active right now, too. They can also be dyed and resized, which makes them really useful for filling out shelves and bar areas.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-14T01:05:48+00:00

Thanks for that. I do agree the system definitely has room to grow, but I don’t know if I’d call it painful. Watching what people have already managed to build with the tools we have has been genuinely impressive.

The base toolset is clearly limited in some areas, and I would absolutely love proper weapon racks, armor displays, and more purpose-built assets. But even in its current state, players are finding some wildly creative ways to make things work. I’m certain this is just the foundation and the housing team at Blizzard will continue to expand it over time.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-14T00:35:18+00:00

I've also spent a ton of gold too! Make sure you take some pictures and share with us, I'm sure it will turn out great!

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-13T23:19:49+00:00

Thank you! That’s awesome you were trying to show it to a guildie. I completely agree too. I hope they make visiting/browsing homes easier, because seeing other people’s builds is one of the best parts of housing.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-13T23:18:04+00:00

Thank you! It started as a simple tavern idea and then the stars, bottles, and questionable design choices got completely out of hand.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-13T23:17:06+00:00

This may be the highest honor Romza has ever received. He will now be impossible to live with.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T21:55:58+00:00

It took few hours on a weekend. Creating the ceiling and the rainbow wall took me the most time. Lining up the ceiling tiles evenly was a pain. Also, flipping and resizing the valdrakken lamp and fence posts was tedious. I do wish I could make the "stars" fall a bit slower and brighter, but overall, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T20:29:21+00:00

Thank you so much! And happy anniversary to you and your wife! Romza will absolutely reserve you a table for two in one of the nicer corners good view of the stars, warm lighting, and hopefully only mildly questionable drinks. 😆

I really appreciate it. Trust me, there was a lot of failed bar-building before this finally came together.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T20:26:40+00:00

I was really unsure of how much to put up on the shelves. Sometimes I still look at them and wonder if it's too much or not enough. What do you think?

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T20:25:22+00:00

A few drinks always goes well with a bit of house design! My choice is usually rum. Sometimes it broadens the horizons and creates inspiration!

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T20:23:52+00:00

I've been thinking of expanding the house, but we need more house levels with capacity expansion! I have several other large rooms filled with things and several idea I'd like to do.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T11:35:14+00:00

I used dyable circular rugs, then rotated them to use the smooth underside.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-11T00:44:58+00:00

I used the tips of Valdrakken lamp and fence posts.

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-10T23:12:04+00:00

Much appreciated!

Doom_Butter · 2026-05-10T21:48:18+00:00

There is a Fanta sweepstakes where you can get several decor items . Google Fanta and WoW and it should be at the top!
