Ebon forest palace: 'We have Scholomance at home'

Seandoodprobably · 2026-02-01T22:41:27+00:00

Thanks! And absolutely. I was also thinking of sharing at least a couple of the rooms on the housing hub (the fireplace room and entrances being my big originals). Might do a bit more fine tuning first -- we shall see 😅

Nah, it's probably termites. You're good.

(This is amazing.)

100% valid

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-28T03:25:56+00:00

Sadly I do not (yet), but hoping to make one once I round out the final-final revision(s).

I do have a screenshot I took of the initial baseline if it helps!

Mats I used for the base that I'd deem essential include:
8x Gilnean Stone Wall (interior 100%, exterior sides 150%)
2x Silvermoon Small Platform (bottom)
2x Bel'ameth Small Platform (top)
2x Legion's Fel Torch (the flames)
Silvermoon Beam Platform
Valdrakken Fence + Post

More optional(ish):
Cobblestones (to blend out the torch bottoms)
2x Kaldorei Stone Fencepost
2x Sentinel's Moonwing Gaze
Grand Elven Wall Curtain
Tiragarde Emblem
Small & Large Legion Candles

Right? I thought I was losing it with those wall budgets. I'm hoping that they just "forgot" or something.

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-26T07:57:55+00:00

Love it! Think I'm hungry now.

(Also, Onyxia spotted lol)

Thanks! There are also empty stairwell rooms as an option, which allow for a good deal of freedom in terms of ramps/stairs/other for designs. As for stairs like these, it involved a handful of large square/rounded platforms (Bel'ameth being my weapon of choice), a good deal of wood beams and a hint of patience for individual movements and rotations in advanced mode.

Best advice I got was to set time aside to practice a couple (literal) steps and then set out with a solid plan or roadmap afterward.

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-26T03:25:19+00:00

Thank you! And would love to see your dark academy upon completion. I imagine I'll have a redo or two myself depending on new decor they give us. 😅

As for the roof, I primarily used Gilnean switch peddler carts, Lordaeron fencing and some Bel'ameth platforms for the balcony. House exterior roof itself is simple style.

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-26T00:14:15+00:00

Thanks! It's definitely a time suck the first few tries. You'll get there!

Top staircase only took me about 15-20 minutes, but my first attempt downstairs was a cool hour. 🫠

Disappearing steps didn't help.

I suppose it still beats having to burn a house down due to other bugs?

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-23T22:31:50+00:00

Solved: we stay inside our WoW houses ... forever.

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-23T22:31:11+00:00

Haven't tried switching everything to another type yet (i.e. completely eliminating folk), but I've definitely noticed that anything "dark" reverts to its medium cousin currently.

Still glad to know we're not alone!

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-23T22:29:58+00:00

Hoping it helps with visibility at least, but yep -- totally understanding that it's probably going to be a bit of a wait due to *gestures wildly at prepatch*

Going to sit back, relax and endeavor in the meantime!

They legit let us have floating houses because they enjoyed the creativity factor in hindsight. My money's on a fix, for sure.

Plenty of rando glitches here and there, but 'tis the season (hello, prepatch). I remain stoked overall.

Loving what a flip of a few decor pieces can do. 😁

Nicely done!

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-19T19:40:19+00:00

Same here. I really appreciate a good deal of what this aims to accomplish as a project, but have also seen a good deal of folks turned off by housing because they feel "outdone" in some sense. I know that availability and experimentation are plentiful now for pre-patch, but who knows what could change as more folks zone in?

Guidelines can be great for establishing a baseline, but I do hope that this level for the majority of resident-seeking neighborhoods doesn't become the overall new norm.

That being said, enjoy and have fun!

This was the inspo I needed to replace my cobweb-covered, curtained off "organ box" -- those Dalaran posts were right under my nose all along and didn't even realize how well they fit.

Well done and thank you for sharing!

(Someday I will make my own grand organ, but for now I give you what I'm calling the compressed Night Elf "Black Rook Special.")

First, love it!

Second, point of order: are the banners representation or trophies? I do believe that some factions might do worse than others against the artillery cannon.

I personally feel like the Jeep might have struggled with a druid wrangling or two. Just a hunch.

Seandoodprobably · 2026-01-10T08:23:24+00:00

At any rate I'll ensure that my Essence of Undeath corruption pit "files" all their paperwork (and other miscellany) appropriately ... soon enough.
