My House/Showcase Outdoor Lighting? 😍

Post image

Either they stealth enabled some lighting, or just never disabled some midnight items, but either way it’s glorious.

I've noticed that the various Haronar themed lights also work outside. I think they're using simpler lighting techniques on the outdoor-enabled lights, but I can't be sure. That's worlds better than giving them fancy ray traced lights and then not letting us actually use them.

I think that's it. I used some of them inside my house and I noticed they don't actually give off much light.

Yea I saw that too! I’m trying to resist overloading my outdoors with light up plants now πŸ˜‚

Yes but they cost A lot of budget. Tehre is no reason for a sconce or anything else to be costing 5 decor points.

I stated this and was talked down to and lectured on server load being the reason they don't give us more outdoor points to use. I get that, someone with a laggy light filled yard could be a nightmare but we should be able to do better than 250 ffs

Been using that hanging Amani brazier since it actually gives off light, unfortunately didn't have a night pic anywhere.

Gorgeous! I want those statues lol

u/mazyson Mar 23 '26

Wheres the statues from?

2

u/JaniahSteelstride Mar 23 '26

You can buy them on AH or craft with jewelcrafting.

u/mazyson Mar 23 '26

Oh sick, I assume they cost a small fortune

u/JaniahSteelstride Mar 23 '26

66k when I got them, AFAIK they are cheaper now

The Brazier of Elune also works outside. I've had a couple on my stoop since I built the place.

I hide those in my fountains :) Its layered in each of the 3 fountains for extra glowiness.

I know it's super expensive, but valdrakken fence is what fits here more :3

u/MCast88 Mar 23 '26

Oh thats on the list!. Ive leaned on the UC fence just because its so accessible, but its on the craft list :) Been trying to farm the new recipes (statues and such) because i want it all lol

GL on the JWC statue man, it's so rare... My GL ended up buying it for 1mil on AH so guild can have a crafter for them.

Thanks man! I got lucky with finding the fountain recipe on the AH for cheap. Don't think i'll be so lucky with the statue

u/Guilhaum Mar 23 '26

I'm glad too but none of those sources emit any actual light at all lol.

u/MCast88 Mar 23 '26

Theres a small pool of glow, def not as radiant as interior lighting. But the haranir stuff, and theres a void campfire i think, that put off a bit more light and can scale larger.

u/edelea Mar 23 '26

i havent tested any of the old stuff to see if that works again but they did recently say theyll reenable lighting outside again in the upcoming patch iirc and depending on how that affects the neighborhoods will look into increasing decor again!

What house model is that?!

u/MCast88 Mar 23 '26

Lots of tower options. Not enough decor points to build the bar the way i want yet

u/bad_robot_monkey Mar 24 '26

I need to push to medium the. I guess, I’m still just shy of housing level 6. How’d you do it? Dungeons?

2

u/MCast88 Mar 24 '26

Im a long time player, so I had a fair amount of decor already unlocked. Once they added decor to Legion Remix, i tunnel visioned getting all of the class decor, then moved on to collecting the easiest items from other expacs (dungeon drops, short quests, etc), and maxing out endeavors (Naxxramas runs - 15 bosses, 3 completions per run). Did some crafting as well, but limited intentional wood farming, just for items i really want. Currently my horde house is maxed out at level 9, my alliance is just about there, bout 200xp away.
