## Summary

Hazel discusses the upcoming patch 12.0.7 for World of Warcraft, highlighting key housing changes, new decor items, and fixes for the Herendar moth hunt. The patch introduces outdoor lighting placement, raised exterior decor limits, and a revamped reward system for moth collecting.

### Key Points

- **Outdoor lighting** [0:36] — Players can finally place lighting objects outdoors, with restrictions to prevent performance issues (cannot place too close together).
- **Raised exterior decor limit** [1:44] — Exterior decor limit increased to 350 at housing level 7, allowing more outdoor decorations like lamps.
- **100+ new decor items** [2:09] — Neighborhood housing vendors in 12.0.7 will offer over 100 new decor items, including gravestones, planter boxes, and haystacks.
- **Herendar moth hunt fix** [3:25] — The system rebuilt: dust feature removed, rewards granted via quest every 10 moths collected. Fixes long-standing bugs preventing mount acquisition.
- **Twitch drop: cotton candy gurgle plushy** [4:49] — From June 16 to July 14, watch 4 hours of an eligible Twitch stream for the cotton candy gurgle plushy decor item.
- **Midnight rares farming tips** [5:51] — Killing midnight rares yields 50 void-light marl each, useful for buying purple outfits from the ritual site vendor. Hazel recommends the Rare Scanner add-on.

### Conclusion

Patch 12.0.7 brings significant housing updates (outdoor lighting, increased decor limits, new items) and fixes the buggy Herendar moth hunt reward system. Players should also look forward to a new Twitch drop and seasonal farming opportunities.

## Transcript

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