Intriguing. Now I need to fly out there and see if it's unlocked for me...

It will come with a weekly like every other item on that vendor....how is this a mystery?

We aren't even to week 5, so we still have another week of quests. And we haven't gotten pandaren items yet on this vendor. Each week is a different culture.

So many vendors are listed to have decor items but when you go to them, they don't have the items. So the general idea was it was pre-patch or launch.

No, again, people literally already are able to get it and purchase it. They just don't know *how* they're able to. *that* part might be a bug.

I wish Pawdo also sold non-instanced RNG drop decor.

There's a goblet from the Theatre event that took me about 20 tries to get one of. Getting duplicates at that point is quite frustrating. Given dungeon and raid bosses have a 100% drop rate for decor every time you kill them, why can't these other bits of decor be guaranteed too? At least after the expansion is over?

I'm fine with having to work a bit for decor but it should be deterministic, not RNG. In most cases, at least.

could it be cloak/Ordos related? I never got it and I don't see the item on the vendor

Maybe you need to have the heavenly golden cloud serpent?
The golden chest and the golden serpent.

Comment by Morgomir

hrm, wonder if its related to the Crumbling Halls achievements or some other such things in Vale of Eternal Blossoms

Comment by Neridris

I've been after this decor for a while (I'm the one in the comments linked in the article).

I'm looking for evidence of actually being able to buy it. I've seen claims but no proof.
I've also updated my comment for what we haven't tried yet, if you wish to participate.

Imagine you go to a furniture showroom and they tell you, we sell item A on this week, item B on that week, item C once every X number of weeks etc.. etc...

I guess they really are going for good old "immersion" where in real world, carpenters will need at least few days to make each item you order. 👌👍

Or... for some unfathomable reason... It's yet another time gating feature! 🤪

I just run out of Storage space in the middle of a decor crafting spree. I didn't even reach 5000, the game just counted all the decor that was supposed to not count towards storage limit. I'm sad and frustrated. From now on I'll have to put all the decor I find into the bank and hope they'll increase the storage limit or at least fix that stupid bug.

Also shame on you Blizz for introducing storage limits. There's absolutely no reason to have this limit since it's just a number on the interface and doesn't affect any performance. It's already annoying that we have to collect multiple copies for each decor but then to limit how many you can own is just ridiculous.. Imagine if they had the same system for mounts or pets. If you find a new mount, you'd have to destroy an old one to be able to actually collect it..

Have you seen a SQL table before?

Because some already have it unlocked while most don't, despite the same content being done. It's not related to the weekly, although that would have involved reading the article alongside a bit of thinking to know.

the quest hasnt been the same for everyone I have noticed, its a warband quest so even on diff characters nothing changes but some guildies had to get a diff item than myself the very first week

Comment by avatarofshadow

I don't know if you've ever played WoW before today, but we've had a limit on pets the ENTIRE TIME ...

and mounts took up our very limited bag space for quite awhile. All your weapons and armor and herbs and most everything else STILL takes up bag space. Storage limits didn't show up in World of Warcraft. Be thankful there isn't a weight limit where your hearth stops working

this is a mistake. but, i can't delete it.

Whole lotta nothing, got like 20 keys, hit exalted with the lotus, no change.

Comment by BlaireDawnstar

Could be related to an achievement based on the old trove of the thunder king perhaps. It's not the legendary cloak as per a comment above because I have that and it's not there.

Comment by Chr1st0ph

Could be available during MoP Timewalking week
