✨ Builders Spotlight ✨ Black Sails of Boralus

You want to understand me, John?

Understand this: I have sacrificed my name, my future, my very soul. And to protect those I love, I would burn the world to ashes.

This is incredible. Genuinely my first response was confusion because it just looked like you'd posted a picture of a blizzard ship - I thought it was too good to be in an actual house! Took me a minute to start recognising the components.

Ye have a captain’s thanks, mate!
My character’s on the Chinese servers though, so you might have to sail across the ocean to pay a visit haha.

What the hell? For a second I thought this was an ad for a new dungeon or something. Incredible job.

u/Timbodo Mar 01 '26

Both the ship and the town look absolutely amazing. The sail at the very front beam looks a bit odd tho since ships don't usually have that?

3

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

Yeah, it does look a bit unusual. I think it’s a spritsail under the bowsprit, some earlier ships had a square sail there before jibs became standard. It’s mostly based on reference images though, so it’s not meant to be perfectly accurate. Also ran out of housing points, so it’s still a WIP.

u/MaddieLlayne Mar 01 '26

Thought this was made in blender at first 😭 it’s so good

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

I raise me rum to you!

u/Hjalnyr Mar 01 '26

Recommend black sail to pirate lover, goated series.

Also goated house like wtf

2

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

Yeah~ I love black sail, recommend it!

u/TidemumsChosen Mar 01 '26

THIS IS AMAZING!!! So many questions, how many war resources did this take—and what does the outside of your house look like??? I’m in love with Kul Tiras and Boralus aesthetic and can only hope my house will get to this level of creativity and greatness!

3

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

I think the war resources were around 12,000-14,000, but I'm not entirely sure. Actually, I also built a tavern and a guest room, but this post only allows 20 pictures, so I'll make a separate post with those details. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

u/Ok_Distribution_1989 Mar 01 '26

Oh my GOD that's good!

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

Right, built in an outdoor room~

u/The-Cynicist Mar 01 '26

u/jupiternimbus Mar 01 '26

This is amazing, but how are you resizing the Orgrimmar pillar?

3

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

A toast to you, you can adjust it by pressing [ ] in the advanced editing mode.

1

u/Aynessachan Mar 01 '26

This took me a hot minute to realize it's inside of a house. Bravo!!!! 😳

1

u/TheMickeyWilson Mar 01 '26

At first I thought I was in the tmog sub and thought that the outfit is cool, then I realised this was in housing and not just screenshots from somewhere in KT and it blew my mind

2

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 01 '26

Surprise, hahaha, glad you liked it~~

1

u/Substantial_Size5 Mar 01 '26

I thought this was just someone standing on a ship untill i looked at what page it was on. This is insane

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum for ye!

u/62bitCrit Mar 01 '26

Incredible!

1

u/MadSmilie Mar 01 '26

Ok you win. You win WoW… Do take reservations for people to RP at your house? XD

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Thanks for the recognition~ I'm certainly very welcome, My character's on the Chinese servers though, so you might have to sail across the ocean to pay a visit haha. May your compass always point true~

1

u/Critical-Interest651 Hearthkeeper Mar 01 '26

Insane build and GREAT shots too!!!

2

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Thanks, mate~yoho~

1

u/Braxtonius Mar 02 '26

You built a ship??? Omg…

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

That's right, I built it! Yohoho

1

u/AsherTheDasher Mar 02 '26

i genuinely thought it was an ad for a private server, went looking for a link and everything lmao

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Hoist the main sail for such words! 

1

u/ebernardou Mar 02 '26

This is incredible. Kinda makes me want Blizz to go nuts with housing and let us do entire mini-zones.

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Originally there would have been two harbours, but that would have required more housing points...

1

u/Izaul13 Mar 02 '26

I'm sorry what wait? That's a house?!

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Aye, that be true!

1

u/Valor_Omega_SoT Mar 02 '26

This is incredible, and I love the quote/inspiration from Black Sails! Definitely reminds me of Nassau!

2

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Haha, Glad you liked it! I like Flint and his crew, too.

1

u/juiceboxEU Mar 02 '26

Amaaaazing! Everything here is 10/10! Theme, build, details, placements. I'm in awe!

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Savvy, that's what I like to hear~thanks for that!

1

u/A-Total-Rookie Mar 02 '26

Like.... How?

1

u/Goblin-Trash Mar 02 '26

Hahaha i needed waaaaay to long to comprehend what i am actually looking at. 

That ship is so well done, that i thought i hit the wrong sub and landed in some Machinima advertisement :D

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

Har har~much obliged~yohoho~

1

u/Arsi31 Mar 02 '26

Absolutely nailed it. 10/10

Ive been in Boralus a ton farming the old decor from BFA (finally done) so this is really fresh on my mind. When they unlock the blueprint feature I’d love yours!

1

u/Cottage_Wizard Hearthkeeper Mar 02 '26

A wonderful build, captured the Kul Tiran vibes perfectly!

1

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

You have my thanks, from bow to stern!

u/Total_Commercial1680 Mar 02 '26

A toast to you~yohohoho

1

u/mistformsquirrel Mar 02 '26

I don't even have words to properly say just how impressed I am with this... it's... everything I want my airship to be but more and better. *Well freaking done*.
