Introduction
Collecting rare decor items is one of the most rewarding aspects of WoW Housing. This guide will walk you through the most efficient farming routes, spawn timers, and strategies to maximize your collection progress.
Understanding Drop Rates
Rare decor items have varying drop rates depending on their source. World drops typically have a 0.5-2% chance, while dungeon and raid drops range from 5-15%. Event items are usually guaranteed but time-limited.
Best Farming Routes
- Valdrakken Market Route - 15 minute loop, covers 8 vendor spawn points
- Dragon Isles World Tour - 45 minute comprehensive route for world drops
- Dungeon Speed Runs - Focus on Neltharus and Ruby Life Pools for best drop tables
Spawn Timers
Most rare decor vendors spawn on a 2-4 hour rotation. Using addons like RareScanner can help you track these spawns across all zones. The Enchanted Throne vendor, for example, spawns every 3 hours in rotating locations.
Tips for Efficient Farming
- Use a druid or mage for faster travel between spawn points
- Set up groups for rare spawn camping during peak hours
- Don't forget to check the Auction House - some items are cheaper to buy
- Weekly events often boost drop rates for specific categories
