00:00:52.620 - 00:00:58.060

And good Tuesday morning, Azeroth. Welcome. This is Azeroth Morning Radio.

Bwonsamdi

00:00:59.100 - 00:01:00.460

Hello? Hello?

jibbs

00:01:02.540 - 00:01:04.060

Hearing that just makes me want to laugh.

Kash

00:01:05.420 - 00:01:08.620

Hearing that makes me want to do some time walking dungeons. Yeah, buddy.

jibbs

00:01:08.700 - 00:01:34.280

Yeah, we need to get on that. Welcome to show everybody. This week on the episode we are talking housing. There is only housing.

Let us tell you about our lord and savior housing in World of Warcraft by the gods. You done yet? And also we're going into detail guest appearance we made on another show. Super stoked about that.

Before we get there, friends, my name is Jibs and I'm joined by my good buddy Cash.

Kash

00:01:34.840 - 00:01:40.120

Wow, you really must be in mellow mode this week because of how quaint the housing areas are.

jibbs

00:01:40.280 - 00:01:50.120

Oh, buddy, I don't want to leave. I haven't used a class skill in two days. I accidentally used fade or levitate today and I'm like, oh, wait, I'm flying. Oops. Or floating.

Kash

00:01:50.120 - 00:01:52.440

You're not even pick. You're not even picking up on it.

jibbs

00:01:52.440 - 00:01:52.840

What?

Kash

00:01:53.240 - 00:01:55.160

You didn't even insult me this week.

jibbs

00:01:55.320 - 00:01:57.240

I haven't insulted you for three weeks.

Kash

00:01:57.940 - 00:02:02.500

Well, maybe I missed it. Maybe that's my alter ego telling me that I need to be insulted.

jibbs

00:02:05.300 - 00:02:06.180

Do you want one?

Kash

00:02:06.260 - 00:02:06.820

Yep.

jibbs

00:02:06.820 - 00:02:10.660

Okay, let's do it. 2025's worst deck creator, his name is Cash.

Kash

00:02:12.260 - 00:02:16.700

Oh, too soon. That one. Cut to the core.

jibbs

00:02:16.700 - 00:02:22.580

It's not even true. It's not even true. Your house. We're gonna talk about it, but it's amazing. It's amazing.

Kash

00:02:25.270 - 00:02:36.390

Friends, we're not lying like this. This was our week. Like, we're gonna get in talking about weeks and. Yeah. So if you didn't know, housing is now live.

The Office Voice Quip

00:02:36.710 - 00:02:38.830

Okay, it's happening. Everybody stay calm.

Kash

00:02:38.830 - 00:03:21.330

What's the procedure? What's the procedure? Stay calm with 11.2.7. There is so much other stuff live with 11.2.7, but we're gonna talk about housing because it is.

The 800 pound gorilla in the room. Had at least a few days to dive into the system. We did not get into it in the beta. We wanted to wait.

We had some friends that were doing some beta stuff and they were very, very good. They were 100% gentlemen about not giving us any spoilers about anything. They were very good. But man. Yeah.

jibbs

00:03:22.420 - 00:03:28.980

So what'd you do. And. Well, I would say what'd you do in gaming this week? But I feel like that's going to take us right to the entire show.

Kash

00:03:29.540 - 00:05:04.290

It is. It's pretty obvious we. I was in housing all week long at least, you know, at least since it came out.

And like I said, we've had a few days, but I had to force myself to start doing some quests and I think the forcing was done by the fact that I had some rep to finish and I had some things I had to finish up in order to get certain items that I needed to continue on with my housing journey. So I. I did a lot of that. And I'll tell you what, it's been a long time since I have lost track of hours.

I've gotten good over the years of playing World of Warcraft and not overdoing it, like, you know, like the girl I'll play on my down times or when I don't have anything for work going on or any other projects. And because I'm a pretty busy dude, I have a lot of things, a lot of irons in the fire, I'll say.

And with family, as I've gotten a little older, I've really done a good job at balancing my family and my. My game time. Really gotten good at it and my wife's noticed a huge difference. My family's noticed a huge difference.

But man, this week was a little different. I just.

I lost track of time all three days because of all the things that were going on and what I was trying to do and man, you just turned that music up.

jibbs

00:05:04.450 - 00:06:31.490

Oh, wow. Oh, buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. It was a wonderful week. By the way, folks, I'm getting over a cold, so if I sound a little rough, I'm sorry.

I know it's not enjoyable to listen to. I'm sorry. But yeah, housing. Yeah. I mean, my goodness, that's where I've been. Like. It's so funny.

I was thinking yesterday, I'm like, man, everything leading up to this patch release was all about Midnight in my head. Like in my head I'm prepping for midnight.

You know, from classes to really trying to nailed nail down my, you know, like becoming a student of my class and you know, blah, blah, blah. I'm still working heavily through. I'm in chapter 10 of blood ties from Christie Golden.

So like I'm just really all in on midnight, you know, really thinking about it and then the show stuff of course and that bad just drops in the whole thing. It's been on my mind is like, oh, and privately I've been really wanting to get into a cozy game, like for an off game, something I typically will.

Will dabble in a secondary game when I'm not playing Warcraft, just because I enjoy having a secondary game. And it's something more like a palate cleanser. Like I'll play a couple games of not very long, then I'm back, right back into Warcraft.

But I've really been wanting this cozy style of game. So like something like Palia or something like Stardew Valley, like that sort of thing. Right. And. And I've been wanting that for a while.

And then housing dropped. I'm like, oh, this is my cozy game. I found it.

Kash

00:06:31.490 - 00:09:19.580

Whoa. Yeah. Okay. It's a lot better than we thought. Okay. Yeah, I'm with you. I am. I'm with you.

And I've said it on the show before, I'm not a mobile game guy at all. I just, I don't, I don't enjoy mobile games very much. But I also have. Have been looking for.

I always look at mobile games because they always look so interesting to me.

And games like, just like that, like Stardew Valley and you know the ones where like you can have a little farm and you can just kind of take your time that aren't, that aren't like money sinks. Right. Those just irritate the crap out of me. But I don't feel, I didn't. I never really felt the need for it.

It was always like, well, if the perfect one pops up, then maybe I'll do it. But man, I just don't think there is a need for it anymore with all of the things that housing brings to you.

And guys, we're not at a point where we're learning all this stuff for the first time. We're experiencing this stuff for the first time. We've been covering housing here for several episodes and doing a lot of research on it.

So we knew what was coming, but to feel what was actually delivered. And granted there are some, there's some bugs. There are definitely some, some bugs. And it was a little bit of a rocky start.

I think even we had some friends that were doing time walking and stuff. They were having some problems. So the servers are being inundated right now and it's it that may be what's creating some of the problems.

And there are definitely some bugs. Remember, this is early access to the system, so some things are going to happen. I think one of the funniest things that's been happening to me.

And I know it's been happening to other folks out there too, other content creators, because they've been covering it. My the front door of my house, when I log out, it like teleports to the back door. So when I log in, it's no big deal.

Like I just don't want it to be a forever thing. But when I log in, I have to fix it every, every time it's two clicks. So it's not a big deal to fix it.

But I just hope that when I log out my, like my neighbors aren't coming by going, what the f, man? Like you, what's wrong? Why did you put your front door on your back door? And why do you have a hovering potted plants.

On the front side of your house? It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's, it's a bug. So anyway, there, there are some bugs.

But I think the biggest thing is that the experience that we've been delivered, it has been something pretty magical.

jibbs

00:09:19.740 - 00:09:54.790

Yeah, yeah, it absolutely has. And folks, we're going to talk about housing, housing a lot this episode.

But before we get to that, like we said earlier this week on the show, we are talking housing.

We're talking about the time we debuted on a another show, we guest spotted on another show that we were invited on and we're debuting a brand new staple segment here on the show called Tool Time Azeroth Edition. So that's coming later in the episode.

But before that, folks, if you are a casual player, a nine to fiver, maybe you're a weekend warrior like a lot of us are working the weekends. You have a family, but you love Azeroth. Well, this show is for you. So welcome home. We'll be right back.

Kash

00:09:54.950 - 00:10:15.380

Friends. I just want to make a quick little correction there.

Jibs asked if you're a nine to fiver, that meant if you're working nine to five, not playing World of Warcraft nine to five. Of course, if you are playing World of Warcraft from 9 to 5, you are more than welcome to be here. But I think he meant work.

jibbs

00:10:16.820 - 00:10:18.500

We'll be right back after commercial break.

Warband Podcast Commercial

jibbs

00:11:52.530 - 00:12:03.660

All right, welcome back, everybody. Thank you again so much for hanging out with us here. Here tuning into AMR Cash, we guest spotted our first guest spot.

Someone invited us on their podcast.

Kash

00:12:03.660 - 00:14:15.290

We did. It was. It was actually a lot of fun.

And the way that we found this show, Friends, we found the amazing host at Soloq and the way that happened is that one of our friends was listening to Solo Queue and we were mentioned and it started up a conversation. It started up just some back and forth with the gentleman over there and he was fantastically welcoming to us.

And so for the past probably a month or so, we've been looking at some different dates and trying to find some time to sit down with him and we were able to do that last week. If you never listen to Solo Queue, the podcast is actually very good. It's very quaint. It is excellent if you just want to relax your mind.

It is a very calming experience to listen to Solo Queue and it's basically one man's journey through Azeroth as a solo player. And the friends that he's making along the way.

It's been very interesting to listen to his show and how he plays solo, but now slowly but surely because. And it's 100% because of his demeanor and his kindness and the way he plays.

He's starting to make some friends in the game and his last couple of episodes have been a really neat journey through that experience for him where he basically highlights a lot of those folks who've made a difference for him in World of Warcraft. So very interesting show to listen to. The time that we were able to spend with him was really special.

We just had a quaint discussion about jibs and I's gaming discussions, our adventures, our journey as both friends and podcasters, and then how we ended up creating content for World of Warcraft. So if you're interested in listening to that, it was a really fun interview. The episode will be out as of today, so check out episode.

I believe it's going to be episode number 33 of Soloq, and you can find it wherever you download your podcasts.

jibbs

00:14:15.520 - 00:15:10.720

Yeah, it was an awesome honor to be on the show, first off. Just the. The. The received the invite. It was so kind and he was an amazing host. Amazing host.

So fun, so personable, and immediately you knew, like, oh, this is. This guy's one of us. Like, it was just, you know, like, just jucking and driving immediately. Like, we were friends for years.

So, so fun, so welcoming and warming. So be sure to go check out that episode for sure. So on to the big topic. The big topic of the show, and that is housing. Later, we'll debut the new.

The new segment on the hero here at amr. But, dude, holy cow, like, housing dropped. And let's just start at the beginning. I mean, like, first impressions. It was out.

Founders Point is amazing. I mean, the Zone is beautiful. Just beautiful. The music, ambient, everything. What do you think? What do you think of it?

Kash

00:15:11.280 - 00:15:17.920

Yeah, and you have to understand, too, that we. We do play alliance. So we are. We're gonna be talking a lot about Founders Point.

Goblins

00:15:18.160 - 00:15:23.520

Oh, yeah, I see how it is. All right, all right. Just hire us for the skill and don't even come visit.

Kash

00:15:24.320 - 00:18:17.310

And we were actually just talking about today how that we love the housing system so much that we are probably going to pull some horde characters out of mothballs just to experience it on that side as well. But I think I liked it from the very start because the way that they did it and it was.

It was almost a little bit of a rush right off the bat because we got in there the day that they launched 11.2.7 and we wanted to secure our plots. So admittedly, I got a little bit less of an experience of just taking my time by myself. I was in Discord. Everybody was talking.

It was just like, oh, my gosh. It was a mad rush. But we ended up getting in. As soon as you log in, it gives you a giant screen right in front of your face.

It's like, start housing now. And we dove in. We were able to get a little guild neighborhood for us and just started.

Everybody was flying around, like, where you're passing everybody on your flying mounts as you're trying to do the quests and. And as you're trying to figure out what plots you want.

I thought it was pretty funny because I changed my plot, like, three times before I actually figured out where I wanted to be. And now I'm very happy that I kind of took the times.

What I ended up doing was picking a plot, and I went through setting some initial stuff up, doing the initial quest lines, and then I logged out for the. For the night. And I woke up super early the next morning. I was just like. It was. I woke up. Okay, look, I woke up to pee. And I was like, that's it.

I'm done. I'm up and made a pot of coffee. And I came in. I was. I was sitting down in my office at probably about 4:35 in the morning, and it was quiet.

There was nobody else on Discord. I just turned up the music, turned up the ambience, and then I really started looking. I was like, okay, who picked what spots?

And I started just, like, running around. It was like, I didn't have a realtor with me, but I didn't need one. It was just so beautiful there.

And I finally picked my plot, and I moved it from what my initial one was, and I just started going. And I had. I had happened to be off work that day, so I'm not kidding you when I tell you this. We'll get into the nitty gritty here.

But I took probably an hour break when my wife woke up, had some coffee with her, my daughter was off to work, and then the house was mine. Literally, my house was mine. And I did not stop playing until it was dark. That is how engrossing. The housing process was for me personally.

jibbs

00:18:18.270 - 00:18:45.200

Yeah. Yeah, it definitely is. Is very similar for me. I feel like my work schedule has just been. I've hardly been able to dive in. Like, I want to.

To have that, you know, just full day. And so actually, the day after this show is that day for me, so I'm looking forward to that. But, you know, like, the time I've had in.

And I've had several hours, it's been. It's amazing. I mean, Founders Point is just beautiful. Just beautiful.

Kash

00:18:45.360 - 00:18:47.280

And isn't it bigger than you thought?

jibbs

00:18:47.520 - 00:19:52.070

It's huge. It's huge. You know, it's huge. And I love the fact that there. And there's like.

So in this episode, we're definitely gonna be talking about some of the things we'd love to see added as far as, from a feedback standpoint. And like, I can tell you right. Right now, I know we're not getting to that point yet, but I love the, the city that's there in Founders Point.

I would love to see that even more active, more NPCs, more, you know, just like. Because it just feels so alive and everything feels so organic. The area is beautiful. Like, I mean, I'll be honest, like.

I. I'm having a hard time leaving it. Like, it's just so good. It's so calming. It's so peaceful. It really feels like its own game within Warcraft.

It feels like a cozy game and it plays, I mean, like Early Access. Yes. There's some bugs. Yes. Like, I experienced one today and it's just kind of part of it, you know, in Early Access.

But I'm just like, at Early Access. This is so good. It's so good.

Kash

00:19:53.030 - 00:19:59.670

Yeah. And as for. As for Founders Point itself, and I'm sure it's the same thing in. In the Hordes.

jibbs

00:19:59.750 - 00:20:01.430

Razor. Razor wind, I believe.

Kash

00:20:01.830 - 00:20:40.250

Razor wind, yeah. I'm sure it's the same there. But the NPCs really do bring town to life. And I thought they kind of just stayed there, but they don't.

There's a cart that takes you all around on the cart path you can. And if you, if you just want to chill, you don't have to fly everywhere.

If you go to town, you can just chill and you can wait for that cart to pass in front of your house, hop on the back, and it'll run you into town and you can kind of just look around and take your time and look at other. What other people are building. Look at the plots that are still available.

jibbs

00:20:40.410 - 00:20:41.290

That's so cool.

Kash

00:20:41.930 - 00:21:14.320

There's different biomes within Founders Point. There is a very dreary, duskwoody feel. And one of our buddies ended up grabbing. There is an actual plot right in the middle of the cemetery.

It's in the middle, like you're surrounded by tombstones and mausoleums. And it is a very dark feel. And the first plot I picked was up on the hill just above the cemetery. So it still had that. That dusk would feel.

jibbs

00:21:14.320 - 00:21:14.880

Yeah.

Kash

00:21:15.120 - 00:21:23.840

And I liked it. But being a druid and supernaturally, I didn't. I didn't want that all the time.

jibbs

00:21:23.840 - 00:21:24.280

Yeah.

Kash

00:21:24.280 - 00:22:16.540

So that was the first house switch that I ended up making. But getting back to the town, some of the NPCs will actually wander. And a funny thing had happened yesterday.

I was in the throes of decorating I was finishing up the outside, actually, I'm not quite finished, but I'm out of slots, so. So there's that. I hit the cap on my ex home exterior pretty quick.

But I was out there just finishing some stuff up, putting some stonework in and such. And an NPC was standing right outside of my house. And she had a, like a scroll opened.

And she's like staring at the scroll, looking up at my house, staring at the scroll. And I'm like, that's like a city inspector. Like she's looking, she's looking at my stuff and I'm like, go away.

jibbs

00:22:16.860 - 00:22:17.700

Oh, I love it.

Kash

00:22:17.700 - 00:23:16.690

I know I might be doing some things that others aren't doing. I know it looks a little overgrown, but I'm a druid. Go away. It was the funniest thing.

I took the funniest screenshot of her just like totally Karen ing my house. Hilarious. So she was either a city inspector or she was from some homeowners association that I had no idea about even exists in our neighborhood.

But the point is, is that the NPCs that are walking around make the world feel alive. And I was walking through town, just another example. And there's a female Pandarian Pandaren. She walks by and she just. She waves at me.

Yeah, like this. She literally stopped and waved at me. And I was like looking behind me like, you talking to me? What the hell's going on? But she was.

And it was just so cool. The little things that they've, that they've added in just makes that space feel so much more personal to you.

jibbs

00:23:16.690 - 00:23:53.750

Oh, absolutely, absolutely. And we're going to talk vendors and some of the things out in the world here in just a little bit. But let's start here.

So we've had a few days into it. What do you feel makes wow Housing different?

So like compare it to Final Fantasy or things that you and I both really had our teeth into, like ESO and Wildstar and shoot, we even. Well, it was in Ashes of Creation, but you know, like the bare bones of it. I wouldn't really call that a housing system we experienced yet.

But so I mean like, but the games we have experienced. How does WOW housing feel different to you?

Kash

00:23:53.750 - 00:25:50.950

Well, the only one on, on that shortlist you just mentioned was Final Fantasy 14. I have not done the housing in Final Fantasy 14. I just dabbled in that game. Eso and Wildstar, different story.

Got very, very involved in both of those.

And the other one that I want to put on this list is Star Wars Galaxies from way back in the day and it might not even be fair to compare them, but it's still a housing system. And at the time Star Wars Galaxies was a really good housing system. It was super fun.

If I had to make comparisons, I don't believe that there is a comparison at this point to the other ones. And we've definitely talked up both ESO and wildstar's housing in the past, which are both fantastic in their own right.

But when you look at the things that World of Warcraft has added to this housing system, neighborhoods, endeavors, and tied the entire world and your achievements to the things that have become available to you, reputations, all of those things make the system much, much deeper. The crafting, you know, being able to craft housing items is, is a staple in a lot of different games.

But the way that World of Warcraft is doing it and the way that they're kind of slated to expand that system, I think puts, puts it in a league of its own. This is the bare bones of World of Warcraft housing. It really is.

So to watch what it's going to turn into, I think it's going to be a lot more evident how far and above a lot of these other games WoW's housing system is.

jibbs

00:25:51.350 - 00:27:07.790

Yeah, yeah, I agree. And the fact that, I mean you hit the nail on the head too with it being that this is the bare bones, like what it's at right now is the bare bones.

This is the. Think about it this way, this will be the, the smallest version of housing we'll ever see. This is the, this is.

And this isn't the right verbiage, but just follow me here. This is the worst we'll ever see housing. And it's amazing. It's amazing. It's so, so good.

And one thing that I think Warcraft has done such an amazing job with housing and separating itself from other games is how everything is unified. Everything is unified together. The neighborhoods, the way that feels, it feels like a communal experience.

You talked about how they've incorporated the world into housing itself with your achievements, the vendors that are out there that were still trying to find, which by the way there's a add on for called decor vendor. So there's that one. But I mean like you, you've also got the, the professions that are tied in. It really is really is.

It feels like it's all connected and it just feels really good. Really good.

Kash

00:27:08.030 - 00:27:41.300

So then one of the other things that, that we noticed is once we did get out of town, which I wasn't planning on doing until I realized that there were some things that I needed to finish up and wanted to finish up to get certain items. So in order to do that, I had to. I had to go back and embarrassingly finish up my class hall that I didn't realize.

I hadn't, like, fully expanded my druid class hall, like, given it all the upgrades that it could have gotten back in Legion.

jibbs

00:27:41.300 - 00:27:41.700

Yeah.

Kash

00:27:41.700 - 00:28:02.520

And I never did that. Oops. So I had to go back and do that in order to be. In order to have access to some of the items that I wanted to see.

We basically left town to go and go to a bunch of the quartermasters and see the things that we were able to get from vendors outside of Founders Point.

jibbs

00:28:02.760 - 00:28:03.200

Yeah.

Kash

00:28:03.200 - 00:28:15.240

And when we did that, a very interesting thing that we noticed, Jibs is in many of those old zones that we went to, they were packed with people.

jibbs

00:28:15.480 - 00:29:01.190

Yes, yes. And that's one of the most beautiful things that housing has done on its own.

This is excluding what's about to happen with Kloth the Loss and everything in Midnight. It's putting people in the world. Like you. Like, I'm seeing people. Or was it. I was at Stormsong Valley today, and people are there.

I was in Dark, dark Duskwood, over. Way over. Oh, by the massive cemetery where the Worgen are kind of hanging out. People are there.

You know, I mean, like, on our server, you may see our peers there, but outside of that, no one's normally there. But people are out, People are everywhere, and the world feels alive. It's amazing.

Kash

00:29:01.510 - 00:29:07.790

Yeah. Yeah. People are everywhere. Now, I have been back and forth to Dornigal. There's still a ton of people in Dornagal. At least on our server there is.

jibbs

00:29:07.790 - 00:29:08.310

Yeah.

Kash

00:29:08.310 - 00:31:28.600

But I was. I was very impressed that organically Blizzard has come up with a way to get people out and about. And who knows how long it's going to last, Right?

This is. This is the pre access to housing.

A lot of people bought Midnight, so the people that already pre purchased Midnight are able to be out there and doing these things.

So maybe right now it's busy, but still it is for collectors, for people that have certain items that they've spied and they want to go get, there's ways to find out how to get those things. And the people are out in the world earning those things to get them. And it just.

It was a very neat feeling to be able to see the people out and about in areas they haven't been in forever, trying to get those things. The the when I went to my class hall as a Druid, there were so many people there, it was like, wow.

But then you look at some of the items that you can get and it's gorgeous, like really neat looking stuff that you can get.

So if you haven't done that yet, if you're already in and you're playing with housing and you have not gone to your class hall, go to your class hall because there's some really neat stuff there. And the joy of it is, particularly with Legion, if you say you're down on, on resource, that's another thing too.

War resources is what you need in order to purchase those things. If you're short on it, just go out and do some world quests. You're gonna one shot everything. And it makes those things go by really, really quickly.

So it seemed a little daunting what I had to do yesterday. But I was only stuck under like a 24 hour time gate for adding that last skill that I needed to level up my class hall all the way.

And then I needed some war resources and I went out and I farmed them in probably half an hour. But it still got me back into Legion.

Not as if I already didn't do Legion like two weeks ago, but I went back out there and did it and it happened very quickly. So yeah, I think it's a beautiful thing that they've bought, brought people out back into the world and it's been, it's been a great experience.

Over the last few days.

jibbs

00:31:28.680 - 00:31:36.680

Have you had any surprises when it comes to vendors out in the world? Like things that are like maybe just surprised you you didn't see coming?

Kash

00:31:38.520 - 00:31:58.560

I wouldn't say surprises. I think the vendors that I have gone to, I've only gone to probably five or six different vendors that were outside of Founders Point.

I wouldn't say I was like overly surprised at any of the things that they had. What I was surprised with is all of the items that I already had access to because of how long I've been playing the game.

jibbs

00:31:58.560 - 00:31:59.080

Yeah.

Kash

00:32:00.440 - 00:32:36.130

And so here's an innate issue and I don't know if you ran into this, if you ran into this as well. I had a lot of stuff that was already open to me, but there was only one of them, just one. So there's really no way to tell.

I think you gotta research it if you want a second or third or fourth of that same item for your home, you gotta research it and figure out where it came from. There's just a bunch of random like There's a little crystal in there. And I was like, okay, well, that looks like it's probably from Legion.

But you really. You gotta look those items up and find out where those housing items come from.

jibbs

00:32:36.210 - 00:32:36.690

Yeah.

Kash

00:32:36.770 - 00:32:39.010

Because. Yeah. Cause they give you a certain amount of stuff.

jibbs

00:32:39.330 - 00:32:49.730

Right, right, right. Yeah, I could see that being. You know, I hadn't thought of that, but yeah, that's. That is true. Because whenever I mouse over, it doesn't.

It doesn't actually tell you in a tooltip where it's coming from, does it?

Kash

00:32:49.730 - 00:32:50.210

Huh.

jibbs

00:32:50.610 - 00:32:53.010

Maybe that's something. Something worth adding.

Kash

00:32:53.170 - 00:33:27.920

Okay, let's move on here a little bit. One of the things that. That I want to talk about is I want to see. I think the people could probably already guess where we're gonna go with this.

But since there's only two aesthetics right now, basically the classic Horde aesthetic and classic alliance aesthetic. You know, you got Orgrimmar and Elwyn pretty much.

Even though there's different biomes in each of the zones, what other zones would you like to see added in the future?

jibbs

00:33:30.000 - 00:33:30.800

Borales.

Kash

00:33:32.080 - 00:33:32.640

Weird.

jibbs

00:33:32.960 - 00:33:58.840

Super weird. Weird. That was a hard one on anything called tiras, you know, like, I. Let's see, what else? Gosh, that's a great question.

I would also love to see things from Wrath of the Lich King. Definitely Wrath, particularly when it comes to the winter and snow. Things like. That's always.

That's part of the big draw of Wrath, I think, for a lot of people is that that snowy vibe.

Kash

00:33:59.000 - 00:34:03.600

So like an ice crown citadel, fortress type apartment building.

jibbs

00:34:03.600 - 00:34:23.240

Oh, yeah. And you know, like, that was. That was basically at the time, you know, from Lord of the Rings, you know, Mordor. Right.

All that architecture was brought right into wrath to have that. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, that's not going to be my house style just because this doesn't fit my culture. But hey, it's cool as crap to me.

Be able to have that one does.

Kash

00:34:23.240 - 00:34:27.080

Not simply walk into the Icecrown Citadel.

jibbs

00:34:27.080 - 00:34:28.720

This is correct. This is correct.

Kash

00:34:28.720 - 00:34:40.200

This is correct. Yeah. So. So here's a wall of crazy idea. How about. Nagrand? But your house is on a floating rock.

jibbs

00:34:40.600 - 00:34:48.340

Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'm game. Yeah. I'm 100% game for that. Absolutely.

Kash

00:34:48.340 - 00:35:00.580

Yeah. I mean, Nagrand was a gorgeous area.

And I think, like, for me, when you're looking at aesthetics, the only one that I think took the pie from Negron for me was Stormsong Valley.

jibbs

00:35:00.580 - 00:35:25.830

Oh. Oh, man. So good. It's so, so good. That's. Yeah. Oh, yeah, man.

That's where my character had his quote unquote house before housing came out was Stormsong Valley. I love that area. It's beautiful. It's so serene. You know what's. That's so funny you say that is not the vibe from Store Song Valley, Stormsong Valley.

The. The music in the area. Does that not kind of translate into Founders point?

Kash

00:35:25.910 - 00:35:41.510

It does, 100%. Yeah. Because it's like it's a valley that leads to the ocean, whereas Founders Point is, you know, it's like. I wouldn't say a cliff face, but it's.

It's almost like rolling hills that come down from the mountains that. That roll right into the sea.

jibbs

00:35:41.680 - 00:35:42.080

Yeah.

Kash

00:35:42.080 - 00:36:49.140

And depending on. You can get a different feel. That's how.

That's how impressed that I was so impressed with the way that they made each one of the little biomes in Founders Point feel. And I'm sure it's the same in razor wind, but they made it feel like if you want to be at the.

At the foothills, like at the base of the mountain, you can do that. And if you look off in the distance, you can see the sea.

Or if you want to be in the flatlands, you could be at the bottom of that valley and you're in. You know, you're closer to town. It's flat. There's forest, land. You can't really see the ocean, or you want to be in a dusk woody area. It's there.

And you can't see anything else because there's. There's like fog and mist there. Or if you're.

If you're a pirate at heart and you want to be by the sea, you can have, like, from corner to corner, beautiful, beautiful views of the ocean. So they just did such a good job at picking a bunch of different flavors and tastes and just letting you choose where you want to be.

jibbs

00:36:49.140 - 00:37:46.530

It's so well thought out. And it's just like I was thinking last night, I'm like, man, you know, there was a time, I think it was even. I think it was Ian.

I think I remember Ian saying, they just didn't have the tech to do housing. They didn't. The tech was wouldn't. Wouldn't be able to achieve housing.

And if, Sorry, even if that was not you, but fast forward all these years later, if they were able to achieve that thing that they originally thought was impossible, they originally thought they couldn't do, like, what else is on the horizon for Warcraft, they went deep into their system and were able to make, hands down, the Best next, I would say next gen, next generation of MMOs at this point. Housing in an MMO in Warcraft. And it's beautiful.

I mean like there is no MMO that comes out now that does not refer to World of Warcraft's housing system. It's beautiful. It's a staple.

Kash

00:37:46.850 - 00:37:49.490

Agreed. I wanted to talk customization a little bit.

jibbs

00:37:49.650 - 00:37:50.170

Okay.

Kash

00:37:50.170 - 00:38:12.920

I want to see your, your initial thoughts on like how you, how you've laid out your house, how the, how your room expansions are, how your outdoor spaces are, and how the difference in differences in the systems are. How do you, how intuitive do you feel that that system is for a new player? Getting into the housing system as a new experience.

jibbs

00:38:13.400 - 00:39:35.870

So it's a new system. Right. So no matter what, it's going to have a little bit of a learning curve.

There are some things I would love from a new player, like a casual player standpoint, I would love to see added. To be honest with you.

One of those things that would make it great for customization is being able to quote unquote, copy the style of an asset that I've created. I've adjusted the size for I have it, you know, the certain, certain maybe angle.

I would love to be able to copy and paste that thing if for those of you who are photoshopping nerds like I am, you're copying the layer style is pretty much what you're doing. So whatever I've done, I can just copy it and paste it.

And if I have that same asset in my furnishings, if I still have that same furnishing, an extra of it to do that thing would be great. But I do feel it's very intuitive. I really love how it feels. I'm admittedly still getting very used to it. So to me, I, I feel it's more of me.

I don't feel it's a system. I feel it's more of me. I feel kind of clunky with it just because I'm not, I'm not, you know, fully gelling with it.

Like I can sit and remember all my keybinds and everything if I'm editing a podcast episode, you know, just cuz I've done it for years and years and years, but just days in, I'm feeling a little clunky, you know, so.

Kash

00:39:35.950 - 00:39:39.870

Yeah, you can. I've watched you edit, dude, you are a master.

jibbs

00:39:41.230 - 00:39:50.050

But you know, so I feel myself, I have room to improve on that thing. But I do like it. I do. What do you think of the tools?

Kash

00:39:50.130 - 00:40:22.270

I'm about in the same place that you are. I, again, I had. I had eight hours with it on my day off. Like, I was just completely locked in.

So by the evening time, as our friends were coming into discord and we were all, you know, talking and everybody was. Was in their house starting to design stuff, I was able to help them out with. With stuff.

So I figured out the system, for the most part, to where it's a little bit. Feels a little less clunky.

jibbs

00:40:22.270 - 00:40:22.790

Yeah.

Kash

00:40:22.790 - 00:42:21.570

Which was good. I was happy about that. There are. There definitely is some room for improvement, I believe. I think that. And you know what, that improvement.

Let me say this as a caveat.

That improvement might just be getting used to how deep the system is, because there are a lot of things that you can do, and the way that the UI works is you have to have certain things clicked at certain. In certain windows, and you'll get more options. Like, for instance, a couple of our friends were like, dude, how did you get your roof that color?

I was like, oh, you just go here and you have to be on this screen. And once you're on this screen, look on the right and. And there's options right there. Like, oh, my God, I never saw those. Like, yep. And now they're.

And everybody's like, you know, changing their rooftop colors and all that stuff. And it's the same thing inside. You can change your.

Your wall color, your wall texture, your headers, your windows, and you can change all of that stuff. So one of the biggest issues that.

That I had, and it's right along the same length or lines as what you were talking about about, if I make a post for something and I need four more of those same posts, I would like to have the ability to, like, save it as a template.

Especially like, if you're making a fence or something like that, it'd be really nice to be able to save that, because as of right now, I don't believe that ability is there.

And what I have to do is when I size everything, I got a size in and remember the number that I chose on the sizing scale, like, okay, yeah, this one was 46. And then when I go to the next one, then I can go to the slider real quick and make it 46. So I know it's exactly the same size.

But to be able to template, like, cut and paste, like you're saying would be great. And one of the other things, too, is. I know, I know we talked about it, but it would be really nice to be able to know where your lot lines are.

jibbs

00:42:22.140 - 00:42:26.380

Yeah. Oh, what? Yes. So much. Yes. Yeah, that'd be great.

Kash

00:42:26.780 - 00:42:40.180

Yeah.

I had a problem when I was putting my pavers in on my exterior and I would get like right up to where that imaginary line was and it would kick it back and I was like just sized the thing perfectly. Just kick it back.

jibbs

00:42:40.180 - 00:42:40.620

Yeah.

Kash

00:42:40.780 - 00:42:57.360

So yeah, little things like that. What are your thoughts on the progression system? So, so the actual interface for housing, when you go into it and you see your.

Your progression and the ways that you can level up your house. How do you feel about that?

jibbs

00:42:57.520 - 00:43:40.880

I think come release of Midnight, it's going to be fantastic. Right now we don't have endeavors. Right. So that, that's not a thing. So it does feel a little slow going right now, admittedly.

Like I still have a tier two house and I've done all the quests I can do. And so for me, like I'm doing the. A quest in the zone every day. Like the riddle quest. Oh, dude, the riddle.

Like you were you where you talk to that guy, he gives you a quest. Solve the riddle, you get a furnishing. Oh, hello. Yes. That's amazing. And all day, every day I'll do those. And it's different for everybody.

We discovered that just minutes ago. Right. Like I had a completely different riddle than you did today. So it's, you know.

Kash

00:43:40.880 - 00:43:52.760

Which one did you have today? I had the one on the coastline that was near the wreck. The shipwreck. Shipwrecks. I'm a human. I can actually talk. But yeah, shipwrecks.

jibbs

00:43:52.760 - 00:44:05.840

See now I had one that was near a watchtower today. Completely different. And so it's just like. I love that that's there. I don't even remember what we were talking about now, but I just.

It's good, it's good.

Kash

00:44:05.840 - 00:44:08.280

The interface. The interface and how, how you level.

jibbs

00:44:08.280 - 00:45:23.680

Up, how you level up. Yes. Thank you. So I do feel it's a little slow going for me, but admittedly I'm cool with it because I, I'm. I'm kind of stuck on level two right now.

I think partially it's because I didn't have as many. I'm wondering if that's. Maybe I didn't have as many achievements already done.

So I didn't get Those unique furnishing XPs maybe at the beginning maybe as much as you did because I know you're level three, but I'm like three quarters of the way through two and so I'm just kind of working through quests and so honestly, I can't wait for endeavors. Not because of leveling the whole leveling process but because of what it will do for housing just in general. So.

But overall though, honestly, I do like the progression. I really look forward to seeing what it's like come official release because I think it's going to be great. I think it's going to be even better.

And this is one of those tracks. Like I'll be the first to tell you, really be the first to tell you.

There's only ever been one other time in this game where I wanted something that I wanted to really make sure I was pushing that reward track. And that was the Candle Shoulders from the War Within Kobolds. You know, I wanted those so bad for my Pirate Kul Tiran. So I finally got them.

Kash

00:45:27.000 - 00:45:27.200

Wow.

jibbs

00:45:27.200 - 00:45:27.960

That's so good.

Kash

00:45:28.440 - 00:45:29.160

I had to.

jibbs

00:45:29.240 - 00:45:44.160

That was good. That's. That's it. But like with this, with housing like this is. This has easily become my end game and now I'm like, yes.

I can't wait to see what every level is. I can't wait to progress through these things. It's just. It's good. It's good. It's bare bones, but it's good.

Kash

00:45:44.160 - 00:45:47.000

That's not trash, it's treasure.

jibbs

00:45:48.440 - 00:45:50.120

That one always makes me laugh.

Kash

00:45:51.800 - 00:46:33.640

I had to. Sorry. Okay, so for, for leveling, for getting your housing leveling.

The things that I noticed that you get your housing leveling by is one doing those quests that helps. But the other one, and there's actually a tie.

Achievements tied to it is picking up new furnishings and you get more experience if you pick up like the green furnishings. Even more experience if you're picking up blue furnishings. Stuff like that.

That has to be the only difference because I've done the daily quest just like you have for the, the daily treasure hunt. The only other thing that I've done is buy a crap ton of items from different vendors.

jibbs

00:46:33.800 - 00:46:34.360

Yeah.

Kash

00:46:34.520 - 00:46:53.440

Because I'm trying to stock it up. And, and when I say a crap ton, like maybe four or 500 things I've bought and it allows you 5, 000 things.

And I'm already like having to scroll down through pages and pages and pages and pages of items that I've bought. So I can't even imagine like you're going to be using that search function a lot.

jibbs

00:46:53.600 - 00:46:54.160

Yeah.

Kash

00:46:54.160 - 00:47:33.690

As you start to fill out your, your housing inventory. So be ready for that. And the search button actually works pretty decently. I do, I do agree with you. I like, I like the system.

I'M really looking forward to the endeavors to see how that works with working cooperatively with your friends. And another thing that I think we've mentioned on the show is that you might not get the same endeavor quests that another community is getting.

So if there's another event going on, another community, you can use the. The currency that you earn in your hometown and spend it in another.

jibbs

00:47:34.250 - 00:47:34.730

Yeah.

Kash

00:47:34.970 - 00:47:51.560

Which is kind of neat. I like the way they did that. It's kind of all. It's going to always keep you thinking.

Everything's always different and it makes you get out there and look at other people's stuff and you're like, oh my gosh, they have the Darkmoon endeavor going on this week. And I want, you know, this piece and this piece.

jibbs

00:47:51.560 - 00:47:51.960

Right.

Kash

00:47:51.960 - 00:47:53.720

So you can go spend your stuff over there.

jibbs

00:47:53.960 - 00:47:54.560

Yep.

Kash

00:47:54.560 - 00:48:55.000

Which is. Which is pretty darn cool. So. Okay, let's talk a little bit. There's.

There's some things right now that are really pointing toward the progression of the housing system. One of those being like, okay, you can. You could put a weapon rack on your wall, but there's no weapons that you can display on the wall.

I noticed that right off the bat. So I don't recall because I think this is.

I think this is going to be more tied to crafters, where crafters will have the ability to craft something like that for you. So say you have a crafter that can make you, you know, an over under shotgun that you want to put up there.

What are your thoughts on how they've separated those things out? Like, probably the biggest one is the dye system for alchemists, which is right in town. Like it's. It's probably the only.

I think it's the only crafting it is that's right. In town for now.

jibbs

00:48:55.000 - 00:48:55.400

Right.

Kash

00:48:55.400 - 00:49:03.990

And I would assume that would grow. Right. What are your thoughts on that system where certain items are tied only to players?

jibbs

00:49:04.470 - 00:51:58.990

Oh, I love it. Honestly, I think that there should be exclusive resources that come from housing in general, like taking that the next step.

So that way it feeds into the market. Like, I'll be the first to tell you, I want to be a farmer. And I'm going to answer your question. I know this is kind of not, but I'm going to.

I want to be a farmer at my house. I want to grow crops. But you're like, well, that. Doesn't that take away from herbalism? Isn't this the Garrison all over again?

No, because I want that to be an exclusive resource that only comes from the housing system so incentivizes people to grow it and put it on the market. And it's not affecting anything out in the world from herbalism standpoint. I want to do that thing.

I want there to be more professions definitely wrapped up into this. A hundred percent, 100% because it's adding, oh my gosh, they have hit. They have reached an audience of. Of people that I didn't.

I. I don't know that I fully realized were either in Warcraft or like, we're wanting to step into Warcraft with the way that this system plays. Because any new person who comes in now can go and do the brand new tutorial which I need to do.

I'm going to make a horde character and go do that thing probably. So you can do that tutorial and jump right into housing from there. You don't even have to go into, you know, continue on yet into Dragonflight.

You can go right into housing. So, like, people right off the get go can jump into this system. So, you know, like, this is.

This is definitely a staple system and it's something that they've said themselves, that they're dedicating themselves to. So I would love. Oh, absolutely. Just rope it all together, you know, like, they're doing such a. It's. It's like a hundred out of ten.

They have crushed it from the beginning of the unification of so many systems, the world. And yes, this is the honeymoon stage. Yes, there probably will be us.

You know, people may subside being out in the world as much once their houses are done and they feel like, okay, it's in a good spot. But like, for me speaking, I don't ever want to stop. Like, this is. This is, you know, I wouldn't. I really want to see this. Just keep pushing.

They have hit like Sims level with this stuff. Like, this was me in 1999, in 2000, playing the Sims, just designing homes for hours. Hours.

I would go to Lowe's and buy the housing books because I wanted to be an architect when I was younger and design the homes in Sims. I am totally going to do something like that here.

I'm totally going to go out into the World of Warcraft and like, ooh, I want to try to remake that house. You know, like, they have hit such a home run.

So, yes, roping this in with professions, really diving into what that could look like from a resource standpoint, from a recipe standpoint. Just grow, baby, grow. Yeah, it's good.

Kash

00:51:59.550 - 00:52:24.780

So what you're saying is, is that through one system and they've devised a way to revamp old content and get people back out into the world. And here's the number two bullet point that you were saying is that they have got people back into doing professions. Are you saying that. Oh my gosh.

Are you saying that professions are viable again?

jibbs

00:52:25.260 - 00:53:05.170

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. And it's crazy. Is not just the profession itself.

Like for the latest expansion, go back in the previous expansions, I didn't even realize this till today. It's a no brainer. It makes sense, but I just hadn't thought of it yet.

For something I want to craft as an inscriptionist, I need to have Kul Tiran inscription to make the furnishing for that thing from the battle for Azeroth expansion makes total sense. And I'm like, yep, I Now want to 100% inscription just like, this is so good. It's so good.

Kash

00:53:05.410 - 00:54:34.350

Yeah, yeah, it is.

And I think that for a long time I think crafters have felt like until you reach the very top levels of crafting, you're not, you're not doing anybody any good unless you're making stuff for yourself or, you know, just, just doing it to do it for the achievements.

It feels like a lot of the crafting system has gone by the wayside a little bit and a lot of people just don't do it anymore because they feel there's no value there. But this does add a whole other dimension of value to crafters getting back out and finishing those things off.

Yeah, because there's so much stuff that can be made and sold, like weapons for your weapon racks. And I honestly 100% do not even know if there's weapons that can go on my racks yet. Maybe in the future they will be.

But man, I would love nothing more than for my druid to have like a rack with like two or three different staves on there that I could display.

So my, my whole point there is just to say that there's going to be things that you're going to put into your house that you can't quite finish yet because the system is going to continue to, to evolve.

Okay, so we've, you and I have dived into understanding and knowing where a lot of these items that you kind of bird dog and you're like, oh, I want that one, I want that one. Well then let's go get them. So we've started doing that a little.

jibbs

00:54:34.350 - 00:54:35.310

Bit and yeah, we did.

Kash

00:54:35.310 - 00:54:51.120

Kudos to you. Tell the story of what we did last night because that was really a Lot of fun. And it got me out of the house.

I got to take off my villagers outfit and put on my adventuring garb again. And I got out of the house for a little while, but it was pretty fun. What do we do?

jibbs

00:54:51.120 - 00:55:09.540

So what you didn't know was a week prior I, about a week and a half prior, I'd spent about 45 minutes doing a roleplay walkthrough of the dungeon from Drustvar, the Manor. I, for some reason the name slipping mine my mind at the moment. But Manor crest.

Kash

00:55:09.860 - 00:55:10.540

Ravencrest.

jibbs

00:55:10.540 - 00:56:08.400

Raven. No, no, that's not either. Dagnabbit. Anyway, it's the Waycrest way. Thank you. Goodness gracious. Yeah.

So I spent 45 minutes just walking through role playing through this dungeon. I got. We got to this portion where that fireplace is, the massive fireplace that has the squid tentacles and everything.

And I just thought to myself, man, I hope that's available in housing. I want. It was a total. I want that moment. So fast forward, you know, we find out the Shrine of the Storm will drop that fireplace.

And anyway, we all ran it, we went through Shrine of the Storm, we got everyone together, we go, you, myself and our good friend Weevil, we're in there and it drops and you jokers refuse to roll on it. I wish you would have, but you gave it to me and it was super kind of you.

That's the only furnishing and that and a chair I have in my house, inside my house right now.

Kash

00:56:08.880 - 00:56:10.640

What have you been doing, man?

jibbs

00:56:10.720 - 00:56:24.480

I have been out in the world getting stuff, I'll be honest. Oh, it'll be a side tangent. I could go on and on about housing, but yeah, so we did that and then from there we went to Deadmines.

And you got off the Van Cleef on the last boss. What'd you get?

Kash

00:56:24.560 - 00:56:26.600

I got Van Cleef's chest.

jibbs

00:56:26.600 - 00:56:29.330

Yep. The storm was a Stormwind Locker.

Kash

00:56:29.330 - 00:56:30.890

Yeah. Stormwind Locker.

jibbs

00:56:30.890 - 00:57:11.780

Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Like there's other things I'm wanting to do. I was making a list of dungeons I need, you know, to run.

And that's something we're actually going to be talking about in our next segment. But yeah, dude, like we got out in the world and it just felt so good, man. This is what you want.

Like you want a MMO that's alive and people are out and they're doing stuff. Housing has single handedly facilitated that entire circular event at your house.

You realize you need something, you go out into the world, you keep trying to achieve that thing. Oh, you got it. Now you're coming back full circle. Now you're back at your house putting that thing out.

You're doing those things and it's just circular on repeat. It's awesome.

Kash

00:57:11.780 - 00:57:25.310

Yeah, I agree. The way that they have implemented the ability for you to get the things that you want, identify what you want. This is what you have to do to get it.

Go to work and then you. You go and you start doing those things.

jibbs

00:57:25.310 - 00:57:25.870

Yep.

Kash

00:57:25.870 - 00:58:01.270

So we've talked about professions, getting. Getting achievements and items through professions. We've talked about dungeons.

I would imagine those things are gonna scale the higher, you know, maybe the higher dungeon difficulty, the better drop chance you get and such, which would be great. World events. There's gonna be stuff out there that you'll be able to get in World events. The one that I want to know about and learn about.

Hopefully it's in the game. I'm sure it probably is. Remember those secret finds that we talked about last week?

jibbs

00:58:01.429 - 00:58:01.990

Oh.

Kash

00:58:03.830 - 00:58:04.310

Yes.

jibbs

00:58:04.790 - 00:58:05.270

Oh.

Kash

00:58:07.270 - 00:58:18.570

Talk about a want for this system. And I would love for there to be be very special items that are out there that you're really going to have to work for and uncover.

jibbs

00:58:18.810 - 00:58:19.290

Yes.

Kash

00:58:20.170 - 00:58:23.290

The route to get those Items.

jibbs

00:58:23.850 - 00:58:25.330

Oh yeah. Y 100%.

Kash

00:58:25.330 - 00:58:28.009

The underground of Warcraft, dude.

jibbs

00:58:28.009 - 00:58:50.010

All in. I'm all in. I've never wanted to have so many alts in my life.

I want to make everything that's in my house or buy it from a vendor I don't want to buy it from. Like I want to craft it all, do everything. And this is. Yes.

To go out and dig those things up, to find those secrets, to see, you know, what's new or what's hidden and what. Yeah, 100%.

Kash

00:58:50.570 - 00:59:08.350

Okay. I know we have another segment that we definitely want to get to and we are just spewing at the mouth about this. So we're gonna have to rate it.

I think it's probably quite obvious where we're both going to land, but. How.

jibbs

00:59:08.350 - 00:59:09.630

Many murlocs out of 10?

Kash

00:59:10.510 - 00:59:21.790

Yep, let's do Murlocs on this one. How many murlocs out of 10? 1 being just a little tiny Murloc and 10 being the most amount of Murlocs you've ever seen in your life.

How would you rate the housing system? Early access?

jibbs

00:59:22.030 - 01:00:02.440

Oh my gosh. It is 50 out of 10. 50 out of 10. It's a. It's 10 out of 10. Easy, easy. It is so good. It has done so many things already in one fell swoop and the.

In the least version we will ever see, and that's not even the right verbiage. The, you know, the most basic version we'll ever see housing is right now. And it's amazing. It is amazing. They've knocked it out of the park.

Yes, there's some things we'd love to see added just from a, like a design standpoint that would think would really improve housing, but yes. It'S a win. They grand slammed this thing, man.

Kash

01:00:02.440 - 01:00:56.510

They did. I normally. I'm normally a very difficult grader and like, nobody gets an A. Right.

Because there's always room for improvement and there certainly is room for some for improvement here, but I don't think it's out of what they've designed. I think they designed it purposefully to give us an incredible experience right at the outset to hook people into an entire dimension of your game.

Yes, there are some bugs, but that's completely understandable and those things will be worked out. So I'm grading this a hundred percent on how I feel as I experience the housing system in World of Warcraft. It's 10 murlocs, hands down.

It's 10 murlocs for me. I'll just leave it right there because I. I don't normally give that score, but it's a 10.

jibbs

01:00:56.590 - 01:01:24.320

It's so good. Yeah, absolutely. And there's so many more things that we're going to talk about next episode. I know.

I definitely want to talk more about vendors because that is a very fun thing, a very cool thing, especially some things in Stormwind. If you haven't been there, you need to go. But anyway, folks, we're going to debut a brand new, new staple segment and guess what?

It's housing related. So let's go to Tool Time Azeroth Edition.

Tool Time: Azeroth Edition Bumper

01:01:24.400 - 01:01:24.800

Work work.

jibbs

01:01:28.480 - 01:01:40.320

All right, folks. Well, if you were a fans of Home Improvement like we were in the 90s.

Well, at least I know I was. Were you? I loved it. I mean, I watched it. I still have season one on dvd.

Kash

01:01:40.480 - 01:01:47.770

I saw some. I was. I've never been a real big sitcom guy, but. Yeah, but I like. I like Tim the Tool Man.

jibbs

01:01:47.770 - 01:01:48.250

Oh, man.

Kash

01:01:48.250 - 01:01:49.290

Him. Yeah, I get it. Right?

jibbs

01:01:49.290 - 01:03:11.390

Yeah. Yeah, you got it. Yeah. Now Borland. Oh, anyway, this is totally 100% a tool time Azeroth Edition for you, folks.

And so what we're going to be doing here, and this will be a mainstay on the show now, it may not be in every episode because we'll, you know, of course be switching some things up, but it is definitely a mainstay and things that it will come back. And so this new segment, amr, is totally about tips, tricks and fun findings for World of Warcraft's housing system.

Especially when you have a show like ours that's really geared towards the casual player and people in Warcraft as a whole. Folks, if you ever have a tip or a trick or something that's fun that you have found about housing, send it to us.

Bring it right here into the segment. And so today on Tool Time, we are talking the classic dungeons you can farm right now and what you can get each for your house.

Now, I'll be the first to tell you, you can go to your dungeon journal in game and you can see everything that's there. And also, I want to preface this by saying this, folks, it's classic dungeons, okay? So there's people I know that struggle even doing transmog runs.

Folks are going to be as safe as safe can be. You are going to fart in the general direction of a mob and they will die. So, like, you are just fine. So don't you worry about the difficulty.

Kash

01:03:11.550 - 01:03:19.390

Unless there's mechanics that are in there. Just as we had on Mechagon Island. Oh, last night.

jibbs

01:03:19.390 - 01:03:22.390

Yeah. So Mechagon, that was bfa. That was something else. Yeah.

Kash

01:03:22.390 - 01:03:22.670

So we.

jibbs

01:03:22.670 - 01:03:37.960

We bugged out Mechagon and then we bugged it out so many times that. And it's because we were doing too much dps. That's the thing about doing classic dungeons, folks. Basic attack on bosses is a good thing to do.

At least starting off for a few seconds. Otherwise you're gonna bug out the boss.

Kash

01:03:38.840 - 01:03:50.640

Yeah, I Moon fired him too hard. Just one. The boss was like blammo. All of a sudden, we're stuck in this dungeon. It's a great story for another show.

jibbs

01:03:50.640 - 01:04:13.940

Yeah, but. So anyway, there's three dungeons. We want to highlight for you folks some things that you can get now. Dead mines, cash. Already said it.

The very last boss. Van Cleef. What's her first name? Vanessa. Vanessa. Thank you. I always think of Edwin, you know, just because it's. I mean, papa. It's Papa. That's right.

Kash

01:04:14.020 - 01:04:35.300

That was. That was your papa.

He was from the Stonemasons Guild and they wanted to get paid and Stormwind was like, no, thanks for the work, but bugger off, we're not paying you nothing. So they unionized and then they went dark and they became the Defias Brotherhood. There's your little injection of lore, whether you liked it or not.

Thank you. Very much. You're welcome.

jibbs

01:04:36.500 - 01:04:55.870

So yeah, you can get the Stormwind Footlocker there and Shadow Fang Keep, you know, which is another great dungeon to run if you are are a Worgen. Especially if you're looking to make that Worgen style home. This is definitely going to be up your alley.

You can acquire the Gilnet Gilnean circular rug. Did you see the Gilnean Problem Solver furnishing?

Kash

01:04:56.110 - 01:04:57.230

No, I did not.

jibbs

01:04:57.230 - 01:05:05.510

You need to look that up. I'm not even going to tell you what it is, but it involves the loss of limbs. Gilne Problem Solver. Look, that one.

Kash

01:05:05.510 - 01:05:06.910

That sounds quite Gilnean.

jibbs

01:05:09.140 - 01:05:13.940

It's named Problem Solver. It's so dark, it's so funny.

Kash

01:05:13.940 - 01:05:14.740

Looking it up right now.

jibbs

01:05:14.740 - 01:05:17.580

Look it up right now. Tell them what you find. Now we're doing it.

Kash

01:05:17.580 - 01:05:23.620

The Land Problem Solver. Wow. That is a hundred percent a guillotine.

jibbs

01:05:23.780 - 01:05:24.980

The Problem Solver.

Kash

01:05:25.140 - 01:05:29.860

That's fantastic. Well done, Blizz.

jibbs

01:05:29.940 - 01:06:15.710

That's so good. Oh gosh, this whole system's so good. And then Blackrock did steps. This is another one. So.

And you kind of know it's the raid that you do that where you kill. You kill the. The king there. But anyway, you can get the Dark Iron Chandelier. So if you're a Dark Iron Dwarf and you're like, I need this.

Go and run these things. Because it's fun to get out in the world. It's fun to, you know, to enjoy these dungeons. And the first question is like, can a casual person do this?

Yes, you can. So easily. Because again, your character's power level is so far above and beyond what these poor NPCs can handle. You will kill them.

Kash

01:06:16.030 - 01:06:17.390

I mean, if they're 80.

jibbs

01:06:17.710 - 01:06:19.390

If they're. Yes, if you're 80.

Kash

01:06:19.470 - 01:06:33.700

Yes, if you're max. We kind of got to preface it with that. Like if you're. If you're level 15, please don't go in to Blackrock depths looking for a chandelier.

It might become an issue for you.

jibbs

01:06:33.700 - 01:07:19.360

That's. That's true. That is true. And that's a good point.

Because I know oftentimes, even in the RP world, a lot of people won't actually level the characters. They'll just make their character and get straight to our roleplay. Right? Because ability doesn't necessarily matter. So. But yes.

So whenever we talk about stuff like this, definitely having a max character helps, even if you're. Because I believe it's up to level 30 in the classic zones. Unless you're doing Like a dragonflight time with Chromie. You're doing the. What she.

What is that called? Not time walking. You can go back in time, basically change your face and it will bring classic all the way up to level 60.

So if you're just going out in the world on its own, it's up to level 30. So be well over level 30 and you'll be able to, to, you know.

Kash

01:07:19.360 - 01:07:51.240

A really good way to find that out about what zone you're in and what level is go into town and. Or, you know, if you can, if you can spy an elite. Look at the level of the elite.

And as long as it's not a double question mark to you, then it will usually, if you're within the level range, it will tell you what the max level of NPCs are and enemies are in that area. So if it's a double question mark too, you're gonna want to stay away from it.

jibbs

01:07:51.240 - 01:07:51.960

Yeah, just.

Kash

01:07:52.280 - 01:08:00.920

I think that's pretty common knowledge. But yeah, you're gonna want to stay away from it if it is.

But just look at those Elites and it will generally tell you what the level, top level of the zone is.

jibbs

01:08:01.000 - 01:08:43.750

Yeah, definitely.

And really when it comes down to doing these things like yes, that you found, you know, the level of difficulty now, but really the hardest part, truthfully, if there is a mechanic that is basically hard lined in, so like it forces you to do that mechanic if you're, if you die to that thing, don't let it discourage you. Go to YouTube, look up maybe a guide on how to fight it, or read the dungeon journal and you'll be able to get that thing in no time.

Really, it's, it's just as simple as that. It may take you a couple tries, but don't. Again, don't let that, don't let that discourage you.

You should absolutely do this thing and make the most of this for yourself. For the housing system.

Kash

01:08:43.830 - 01:09:55.980

Yeah, we talk a lot about taking World of Warcraft in, in, in chunks, in short amount of chunks, the time that you have.

And if you're looking for something to do in a half an hour, 45 minutes or an hour, then running old content for housing items is 100 in that category. And it can very easily be done.

Now, just like what, what Jib's saying, don't get too caught up on mechanics and just understand that there might be some bosses out there. If you kill them too fast, you'll bug them out. So if you, if you kind of, if you end up getting stuck Give it another go.

And try giving it another go. Just working a little bit slower with just like a basic attack as opposed to, you know, a fully charged chaos bolt into this. Level 30 elite's mouth.

And that way you don't bug out the role play that takes place. You know, they all model all the bosses monologue for a little while and they. They talk crap to you.

Well, there's a lot of times you're gonna one shot them so fast that they're gonna be face down in the arena and they're still talking crap craft to you.

jibbs

01:09:55.980 - 01:09:57.300

Yeah, yeah.

Kash

01:09:57.300 - 01:10:07.580

I'm sure you've all experienced that when you one shot stuff before, they're like, you know, for the cause and they're face down in the dirt, dude. It's over for you.

jibbs

01:10:08.220 - 01:10:28.280

So before we wrap up this very first, you know, like, version of this, and we want to hear from you too, like, things you like for us to cover or maybe like housing tips. I'm working through a. A design idea right now on my home, on the outside of making those. What are they called?

Where you put flowers in and they hang off the windows on the outside.

Kash

01:10:29.320 - 01:10:30.120

Arboretum.

jibbs

01:10:30.520 - 01:10:31.560

Is that what it's called?

Kash

01:10:31.800 - 01:10:40.720

Oh, oh, no, no, no. You're talking. That's just because that's where my mind's at. Because as soon as we log out, I'm going to go start working on my arboretum.

No, flower boxes.

jibbs

01:10:40.720 - 01:10:43.720

Flower boxes. I'm trying to design flower boxes from just.

Kash

01:10:43.800 - 01:10:50.420

I can show you how to do it. I have one on my house. Oh, it's so exciting. Oh, my gosh. I can't wait.

jibbs

01:10:50.500 - 01:11:01.140

Holy crap. I'm so excited because I've been. Oh, man. Okay.

All right, so, yes, we're gonna tell you tips and tricks of things we're doing to make things from items itself. I'm so excited.

Kash

01:11:01.700 - 01:11:04.900

Sorry, folks. Oh, this is my squee right there.

jibbs

01:11:04.900 - 01:11:42.030

Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. But so if you're wanting to get into doing this thing, and again, start from classic. It's fun.

Plan out what you want to do, and you can achieve that 100% by opening your dungeon journal within the game itself. You pick your classic or you pick your expansion. So in this case, classic.

Pick your dungeon, and if there is something that your character can get, it'll be at the very bottom and it'll be for, like, bonus loot. So that'll be something that it'll tell you who drops that item. So make use of that dungeon journal. It is a godsend.

I don't think we probably used it enough. It's fantastic.

Kash

01:11:42.030 - 01:11:54.200

And if you can't find it when you open that. When you open those tabs up, remember, there's four. I think it's four additional tabs on the right side of that window. And you need.

You have to go to bosses.

jibbs

01:11:54.600 - 01:12:06.800

It's dungeons. And then your expansion. And then it. It will actually. You don't have to go that deep.

Like, once you open up the dungeon itself, it'll show you the loot for all the entire dungeon.

Kash

01:12:06.800 - 01:12:07.440

Oh, perfect.

jibbs

01:12:07.440 - 01:12:19.850

So then you just. Yeah. You just scroll the very bottom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, folks, this was the first rendition of this. We're going to expand this out over time.

Let us know if you liked it, if you want to see more of it. Folks, we're going to wrap up the show right after this commercial break. We'll be right back.

Murloc Next Door Commercial

Welcome to another episode of the Murloc Next Door, proudly brought to you by Azeroth Morning Radio, where even your neighbors might come from the deep. Hello, Murglath. It's Karen, president of the homeowners association. Again. Don't you take that tone with me. I'm here about your violations. Let's see here.

Number one, no unauthorized water features. That tidal splash zone you keep creating, it soaked my begonias. Number two, noise ordinance.

Those sounds you call singing, they shook my kitchen window. And number three, absolutely no storing of live fish in the mailbox. That rule exists for a reason, Murglath. Oh, don't you play dumb with me.

That's it. I've had enough. You want to violate HOA rules, I'll show you violation. Some of you may be wondering, what was the Murloc actually saying? For your convenience, here's the translated version. Hello, Murglath. It's Karen. Oh, lovely to see you, Karen. How can I assist you on this fine morning? I'm here about your violations, of course. Feel free to list them. I'm eager to cooperate. Number one, unauthorized water features. Oh, dear. Was that my splash zone? Again, terribly sorry. I'll keep it well contained. Your begonias deserve nothing but dignity. Number two, noise ordinance. Oh, my singing. Apologies. I've been practicing opera. I do hope you'll allow me to serenade the neighborhood quieter in the future. And number three, the live fish. Ah, yes. I found them wandering and didn't want them to dry out. Your mailbox seemed ever so cozy. That's it. Karen. Karen. Please, Karen. Violence is hardly necessary. Oh, dear. Would you mind not hitting me with that lawn flamingo? Goodness me.

And that's been the Murloc next door. Remember, housing in Azeroth may be new, but bad neighbors are eternal. Brought to you by Azeroth Morning Radio, where even the HOA is a raid boss.
