[0:00] Hi, I'm Hazel. It's Saturday today,
[0:02] which makes it time to sit down and
[0:04] catch up on what's going on in wow this
[0:07] week. We are right about it patch time.
[0:09] This upcoming weekly reset is bringing
[0:12] patch 12.0.7 to live servers. I've been
[0:15] having a lovely downtime in these last
[0:17] couple of weeks of this patch, but it is
[0:18] time for new content. Over the past
[0:20] couple of news videos, I have been
[0:21] talking about different things that are
[0:23] coming in the patch like the new raid,
[0:25] the omnium folio, heroic open world
[0:27] content with the new invasion point
[0:28] worlds. And in this video, I want to
[0:31] touch on a couple of the things that are
[0:32] either more recent updates to the PTR or
[0:34] that I haven't mentioned yet.
[0:36] First of all, I want to talk about the
[0:38] new things that are coming to wow
[0:39] housing in 1207. There are a couple of
[0:42] things in the 1207 notes about housing,
[0:45] and the big one is that you will be able
[0:48] to place lighting outdoors. Imagine a
[0:52] street lamp in your street. It is about
[0:56] time. This is something that has I think
[0:58] always been intended for you to be able
[1:00] to place, but they had to disable during
[1:02] development because of performance
[1:03] issues. And there are a couple of
[1:05] caveats. There's an asterisk here. The
[1:07] main one is that you cannot place lights
[1:10] too close together outdoors. They will
[1:12] become unplaceable if you are attempting
[1:14] to place them too near to each other. I
[1:16] believe to guard against some of those
[1:17] performance issues that were happening
[1:19] when people presumably made like giga in
[1:22] light balls on beta.
[1:24] However, as long as you space them out a
[1:26] little bit, it seems like we're going to
[1:27] be able to go nuts. Float some lanterns
[1:29] in your hot tub, put some string lights
[1:31] over your patio, maybe hide some candles
[1:33] in your garden.
[1:35] You know, it's not going to catch on
[1:36] fire. We have some phenomenal lighting
[1:38] objects for housing, and it'll be very
[1:40] nice next week to finally be able to
[1:41] place them outside. In service of that,
[1:44] another housing change coming in 1207 is
[1:46] that they are raising exterior decor
[1:48] limits. This is excellent news to
[1:50] anybody who has hit their decor cap when
[1:52] making their outdoor space. Exterior
[1:54] limits being raised to a new maximum of
[1:56] 350 at housing level seven, which should
[1:59] help with all of those lamps that you
[2:01] want to add in. You don't have to
[2:02] choose, assuming that you have these
[2:04] relevant housing levels, you're not
[2:05] going to have to pick and choose which
[2:06] things you want to get rid of so that
[2:07] you can fit like a candle. And then on
[2:09] top of that, there are more than 100 new
[2:12] decor items that are being added to the
[2:14] neighborhood housing vendors in 1207.
[2:16] Lots and lots of new stuff here. A
[2:18] couple of particular favorites for me
[2:20] include gravestones, which are sort of a
[2:21] new category that we haven't had so far.
[2:23] I know people have been making their own
[2:24] gravestones, but there will be a couple
[2:26] of options for placeable decor
[2:27] gravestones. There's this lovely like
[2:29] extra-wide planter box that I feel like
[2:31] I could do a lot of stuff with. I had
[2:33] been planting things in a coffin up to
[2:34] this point, so this will be a slightly
[2:36] less macabre. And haystacks, couple of
[2:39] haystacks. Lots of sort of
[2:40] stabley-themed stuff.
[2:43] I particularly like neighborhood vendor
[2:45] decor because it's just a great place to
[2:48] start if you're beginning a house. It's
[2:49] available for gold, you don't have to
[2:51] unlock it, and if you happen to want
[2:53] copies, which you almost certainly will,
[2:55] they're not far away to go buy more of.
[2:58] I can't tell you how many times I had to
[2:59] go buy more crates when trying to
[3:01] recreate that shelf in
[3:03] that shelf in in my WoW house because I
[3:07] kept thinking I had enough crates and I
[3:08] did not have enough crates.
[3:10] Another nice thing about neighborhood
[3:11] vendor items is they tend to be more
[3:14] dyable than things that you get in other
[3:16] places. Not everything is dyable, but
[3:19] most of the items that have multiple dye
[3:21] slots tend to be just off the
[3:22] neighborhood vendors. And then other
[3:25] things going on in 1207, if you have
[3:27] been a victim of the great Herendar moth
[3:31] bugs,
[3:32] pun only mildly intended, of this past
[3:35] year, good news for you in the patch
[3:36] notes. They are rebuilding how the
[3:39] Herendar moth hunt thing works, or at
[3:42] least how the rewards work for it.
[3:43] You're still going to be hunting for
[3:44] moths to earn all the rewards, but
[3:46] they've completely gotten rid of the
[3:48] dust feature. They have removed that.
[3:50] They've rebuilt the system so that
[3:52] instead of collecting luminous dust,
[3:54] there will be a quest that pops up to
[3:56] grant your reward for every 10 moths
[3:58] gathered on your account. So, you'll
[4:00] collect the moths and then you just pick
[4:02] up your item via quest. That quest
[4:04] should only be visible if you do not
[4:06] already have said reward, which
[4:09] basically I think is there so that if
[4:11] you've collected enough moths to unlock
[4:13] a thing but you have not received it
[4:14] because of the bugs, you should be able
[4:16] to finally get your stuff. There are
[4:18] some lovely mounts for moth collecting.
[4:20] The vivid clouderacirus is the ground
[4:22] mount and then the elder glowmite is the
[4:24] flying mount that many people have been
[4:26] barred from getting because of these
[4:27] bugs. And I think that this is just
[4:29] Blizzard's way of fixing those
[4:31] long-standing issues because I guess
[4:32] they couldn't come up with another way
[4:33] to do it. But if this works, then it
[4:35] works.
[4:36] Um if you have been having issues
[4:38] receiving your elder glowmite because of
[4:40] the one moth missing bug, next week is
[4:42] going to be the perfect time to go, you
[4:43] know, drop by the
[4:45] What do they call her? Woo Tama? The
[4:46] moth lady and revisit it. Other things
[4:49] coming up, they are doing a new Twitch
[4:50] drop for the patch launch. So, from June
[4:53] the 16th through July 14th this time,
[4:55] you can watch 4 hours of an eligible
[4:57] Twitch stream, including but not limited
[4:59] to my own,
[5:00] for the cotton candy gurgle plushy
[5:02] decor, which is going to be looking a
[5:04] little familiar to people that um have
[5:06] been doing Twitch drops for decor.
[5:08] I think we're going to keep getting
[5:10] recolors of these. I'm not complaining.
[5:12] I think they're going to hit us with
[5:14] every possible recolor of these because
[5:15] it seems like they like to do a Twitch
[5:17] drop for basically every content release
[5:19] and they're doing those so often now
[5:20] that I think they're just going to keep
[5:21] firing them out. I do like this
[5:23] particular color. I think it's a cute
[5:24] one, so I'm excited to add that to my
[5:26] shelf. And then in my life this week, I
[5:28] have been making the most of the patch
[5:29] down time by farming midnight rears for
[5:32] mounts. I finally got started on that
[5:33] farm. I am up to three mounts out of
[5:36] eight. Um two of them from Eversong, so
[5:38] that's one zone checked off the list.
[5:40] I have not gotten my rarity working. I
[5:42] understand there's like an alpha version
[5:43] of rarity you can use to track attempts,
[5:45] but I decided I would just not know.
[5:48] So, the mounts will drop when they drop,
[5:49] and until then, I'm going to be farming
[5:50] rares.
[5:51] I do think a nice side effect of if you
[5:54] do do this, like going out and farming
[5:56] midnight rares for chances at mount
[5:57] drops, you get 50 void-light marl per
[6:00] rare kill, and when you're doing this
[6:01] all day, it sure adds up. I had been
[6:04] hurting for void-light marl, so this is
[6:06] a nice way to kind of boost those
[6:07] numbers. I finally finished buying all
[6:09] the purple outfits from the ritual site
[6:11] vendor,
[6:12] um because I had the marl to do it
[6:13] finally after this.
[6:15] My indispensable add-on for rare hunting
[6:17] for this is probably rare scanner. It's
[6:19] marking the locations on my map that I
[6:20] need to hit up. It's hiding them once
[6:22] I've killed them for the day, and it's
[6:23] also playing a sound and giving me a
[6:25] little waypoint whenever I fly by one to
[6:27] help me realize that I have found it.
[6:30] I think it's lots of fun, not a bad
[6:31] grind to spend your time on.
[6:33] Uh looks better to me than the fishing
[6:35] mount farm, which I have not started
[6:36] yet, that void egg situation, which from
[6:39] everything I've heard about, I'm quite
[6:41] I'm quite scared of that one.
[6:43] It seems like just an ungodly amount of
[6:45] fishing.
[6:46] And that's been the week. Have a happy
[6:48] patch launch, everybody. Keep an eye on
[6:51] my YouTube channel. I am going to try to
[6:52] squeeze together a Rotmire guide for the
[6:55] new Spires of Arak raid before it comes
[6:56] out next week,
[6:57] um so so this weekend. So, stay tuned
[6:59] for that. I appreciate you guys, and I
[7:01] hope you have a wonderful wonderful day.
[7:05] Bye.
