World of Warcraft Housing Decor: Dungeon & Raid Drops From Orgrimmar (Horde Guide)
The problem? Figuring out which bosses drop housing decor and how the hell to get there from Orgrimmar has been a confusing mess of half-tooltips, outdated travel guides, and “just Google it” vibes.
A quick look at some of the World of Warcraft housing decor you can farm from old dungeons and raids.
So this article does two things:
- Gives you a clean, current list of every dungeon and raid boss that drops World of Warcraft housing decor right now.
- Explains, in plain language, how to reach each instance from Orgrimmar without needing eight tabs of Wowhead open.
If you want Blizzard’s broad-strokes explanation of the feature, you can check the official updates on World of Warcraft housing decor and player housing.
This guide is about the part they didn’t spell out clearly: the shopping list.
Why World of Warcraft Housing Decor Feels So Confusing Right Now
Housing itself is straightforward: you claim a home, you get a catalog, you place furniture, you lose three hours adjusting a single chair by two pixels.
The confusion kicks in when you try to answer one simple question:
“What drops where, and how do I go get it?”
The information is technically “available,” but it’s scattered:
- The in-game Decor Catalog tells you a source, but not always the practical route or context.
- Official blogs mention decor from achievements, dungeons, raids, vendors, events, and crafting, but not all in one place.
- Fansites list specific World of Warcraft housing decor drops, but not how to physically get to the instance from a modern Horde capital.
- Reddit is busy arguing about whether decor being one-use and one-per-run is a brilliant design choice or a crime against humanity.
On top of that, housing launched with a very small set of decor coming from legacy PvE content.
It’s easy to assume “tons of dungeons must drop stuff now” and then waste an evening speed-running half of Azeroth for nothing.
The reality:
- Only a short list of older dungeons and raids currently drop World of Warcraft housing decor.
- Decor from dungeons almost always comes from the final boss.
- Raids can have decor on specific named bosses, not necessarily the last one.
- These drops are guaranteed for your first copy—no low-percentage grind—but you need to rerun content if you want multiple copies of the same item.
So let’s skip the clutter and get to the good part: what drops, where it drops, and how to get there from Orgrimmar in 2025 reality, not 2012 nostalgia.
World of Warcraft Housing Decor Drops by Dungeon & Raid
Below is every known dungeon and raid decor drop that’s live right now.
For each one, you’ll see:
- The decor item.
- The dungeon or raid and boss that drops it.
- A practical route to the instance from Orgrimmar as Horde. (Alliance coming SOON)
Assumptions: you’re playing on modern retail, you have access to the Orgrimmar portal room, and you’re not doing this on a level 20 trial alt with no flight paths unlocked.
Classic (Eastern Kingdoms)
| Decor | Instance & Boss | How to Get There from Orgrimmar (Horde) |
|---|---|---|
| Stormwind Footlocker | Deadmines – Vanessa VanCleef (final boss) | Take the zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Grom’gol Base Camp in Northern Stranglethorn. From there, fly or ride north through Stranglethorn → Duskwood → Westfall. Head to Moonbrook in southern Westfall and enter the southernmost building to reach the Deadmines instance portal. |
| Dark Iron Chandelier | Blackrock Depths – Emperor Dagran Thaurissan (final boss) | From Orgrimmar, either:
Blackrock Mountain sits between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes; enter the mountain, go down to the lava ring, and take the Blackrock Depths portal in the lower tunnels. |
| Gilnean Circular Rug | Shadowfang Keep – Lord Godfrey (final boss) | Use the portal in Orgrimmar to the Ruins of Lordaeron (Undercity). From there, fly or ride south-west into Silverpine Forest. Follow the road past Forsaken outposts toward the wall of Gilneas; Shadowfang Keep is the huge ruined castle overlooking the road just before the gate. |
| Horde Battle Emblem | Upper Blackrock Spire – Warlord Zaela (final boss) | Travel to Blackrock Mountain using the same options as Blackrock Depths. Inside, take the chains and ramps up the central chamber instead of down. The Upper Blackrock Spire portal is on the upper ledge above Lower Blackrock Spire. |
Mists of Pandaria
| Decor | Instance & Boss | Route from Orgrimmar |
|---|---|---|
| Tome of Pandaren Wisdom | Temple of the Jade Serpent – Sha of Doubt (final boss) | Go to the Orgrimmar portal room and use the portal to Jade Forest (once you’ve done the MoP intro). From the Horde landing area, fly along the eastern coast to the Temple of the Jade Serpent. The dungeon entrance is on the outer terrace of the temple complex. |
| Horde Warlord’s Throne | Siege of Orgrimmar – Garrosh Hellscream | From the same Jade Forest portal, fly north-west into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and to the Shrine of Two Moons. The Siege of Orgrimmar raid entrance is on the corrupted, northern edge of the Vale, inside the old Garrosh invasion area. |
Warlords of Draenor
| Decor | Instance & Boss | Route from Orgrimmar |
|---|---|---|
| Draenic Ottoman | Auchindoun – Teron’gor (final boss) | In the Orgrimmar portal room, go to the lower level and take the portal to Warspear on Ashran (Draenor), assuming you’ve unlocked Draenor. From Warspear, use the flight master to travel to Talador (Auchindoun flight path). The dungeon entrance is on the steps of the large crystal structure in the center of the zone. |
| Orgrimmar Sconce | Iron Docks – Skulloc (final boss) | Again, portal to Warspear, then fly north to Gorgrond. Continue to the far north coast where the Iron Docks flight path is located. The Iron Docks instance portal is at the end of the main dock complex. |
Legion
| Decor | Instance & Boss | Route from Orgrimmar |
|---|---|---|
| Thunder Totem Brazier | Neltharion’s Lair – Dargrul the Underking (final boss) | Use the portal in Orgrimmar to Azsuna (Broken Isles). From there, either:
From Thunder Totem, fly south-west into the canyon; the Neltharion’s Lair entrance is at the bottom of the chasm. |
| Tome of Reliquary Insights | Return to Karazhan – Viz’aduum the Watcher (final boss) | From Orgrimmar, either:
Karazhan’s tower is in the center of Deadwind Pass. The dungeon “Return to Karazhan” entrance is at the side door up the tower. |
| Argussian Crate | Seat of the Triumvirate – L’ura (final boss) | From Orgrimmar, portal to Azsuna, then to Dalaran (Broken Isles) if you’re not already there. Use the Vindicaar teleport (unlocked via the Legion Argus campaign) to travel to Eredath. NOTE: This is the the Lightforged Beacon located on Krasus’ Landing. Use the Lightforged Beacon to board The Vindicaar. Use the navigation console and select the Shadowguard Incursion droppoint. Run south west to find the entrance to the Seat of the Triumvirate |
| Magistrix’s Garden Fountain | The Nighthold – Spellblade Aluriel | Portal from Orgrimmar to Azsuna, then get to Dalaran and fly to Suramar. The Nighthold raid entrance is on the eastern side of the palace above the city proper. Once inside, progress to Spellblade Aluriel for the decor drop. |
| Moon-Blessed Storage Crate | Darkheart Thicket – Shade of Xavius (final boss) | Use the Azsuna portal → Dalaran → fly to Val’sharah. Head toward the massive corrupted world tree, Shaladrassil. The Darkheart Thicket dungeon entrance is at the base of the tree on the south-eastern side. |
| Ornate Suramar Table | Court of Stars – Advisor Melandrus (final boss) | From Dalaran, fly into Suramar City. The Court of Stars entrance is in the harbor district on the south-eastern edge of the city, on the docks overlooking the bay. |
Battle for Azeroth
For all BfA World of Warcraft housing decor drops, the key is unlocking Kul Tiras travel during the Battle for Azeroth war campaign.
Once that’s done, you can sail from Zuldazar to Boralus and into each dungeon zone.
| Decor | Instance & Boss | Route from Orgrimmar |
|---|---|---|
| Tidesage’s Fireplace | Shrine of the Storm – Vol’zith the Whisperer (final boss) | In the Orgrimmar portal room, take the portal to Zuldazar (Dazar’alor). From the docks, use the ship to reach Boralus (after you’ve unlocked Kul Tiras on that character). From Boralus, fly north to Stormsong Valley and then to the far north-east coast where the Shrine of the Storm dungeon sits on the cliffs. |
| Gnomish Tesla Tower | Operation: Mechagon – King Mechagon (final boss) | Same first steps: Orgrimmar → Zuldazar portal → boat to Boralus. Complete or pick up the “Legend of Mechagon” questline if needed to unlock access to Mechagon Island. Use the submarine or flight path to Mechagon, then fly to the large dungeon gate on the western side of the island for the Operation: Mechagon entrance. |
| Stolen Ironforge Seat | Freehold – Harlan Sweete (final boss) | Orgrimmar → Zuldazar portal → boat to Boralus. From Boralus, fly south-west across Tiragarde Sound toward the pirate town of Freehold on the coast. The dungeon entrance is on the hill above the main Freehold harbor. |
Dragonflight
All Dragonflight World of Warcraft housing decor drops are in the Dragon Isles and are very easy to reach once you’ve unlocked the Valdrakken portal.
| Decor | Instance & Boss | Route from Orgrimmar |
|---|---|---|
| Valdrakken Bookcase | Algeth’ar Academy – Echo of Doragosa (final boss) | Use the portal in the Orgrimmar portal room to Valdrakken (between the Silvermoon and Zuldazar portals). From Valdrakken, fly north-east to Algeth’ar Academy. The dungeon portal sits in the courtyard of the floating academy. |
| Valdrakken Hanging Lamp | Ruby Life Pools – Kyrakka & Erkhart Stormvein (final bosses) | Orgrimmar → Valdrakken portal, then fly south-east into The Waking Shores. Ruby Life Pools is the large red dragon shrine built into the cliffs in the center of the zone; the dungeon entrance is on the upper terraces. |
| Qalashi Goulash | Neltharus – Warlord Sargha (final boss) | From Valdrakken, fly south to Scalecracker Keep in The Waking Shores. The Neltharus dungeon entrance is carved into the mountain at the base of the fortress. |
The War Within
These drops come from early War Within dungeons in Khaz Algar.
You’ll want the Dornogal portal unlocked in Orgrimmar via the War Within intro before you start farming this batch of World of Warcraft housing decor.
| Decor | Instance & Boss | Route from Orgrimmar |
|---|---|---|
| Meadery Ochre Window | Cinderbrew Meadery – Goldie Baronbottom (final boss) | In Orgrimmar, head into the portal hall inside the main gate and use the portal to Dornogal (Khaz Algar) once it’s unlocked. From Dornogal, take the flight path south-west to Cinderbrew Meadery. The dungeon entrance is in the middle of the meadery complex. |
| Overgrown Arathi Trellis | Priory of the Sacred Flame – Prioress Murrpray (final boss) | Again, portal to Dornogal, then use the flight path / campaign breadcrumb to enter Hallowfall, the underground zone. Fly to the Priory of the Sacred Flame in central Hallowfall; the dungeon portal is in the priory courtyard. |
How the World of Warcraft Housing Decor Drops Actually Work
A few rules of the road so you don’t second-guess yourself mid-run:
- Guaranteed drops for the first copy:
for this specific set of dungeon and raid decor, you should see the decor item every time you kill the correct boss, at least for your first copy on that character. - Dungeons = usually last boss: in the list above, decor comes from the final boss of each dungeon.
- Raids = specific bosses: Nighthold and Siege of Orgrimmar have decor on particular bosses (Spellblade Aluriel, Garrosh), not necessarily the end of the raid’s loot table.
- One item, one placement: if you want three copies of a fireplace or fountain in different rooms, you need three copies of the decor in your catalog – which means multiple runs.
Combine that with the fact that the game doesn’t really flag these bosses in-game as “hey, this is a housing drop,” and it’s no wonder people have been bouncing between addons, guides, and guesswork.
TL;DR (For The Skippers)
- World of Warcraft housing decor only drops from a small, specific list of legacy dungeons and raids across Classic, Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion, Battle for Azeroth, Dragonflight, and The War Within.
- Almost every dungeon decor piece comes from the final boss; raid decor comes from specific bosses like Garrosh in Siege of Orgrimmar and Spellblade Aluriel in The Nighthold.
- Drops are effectively guaranteed for your first copy, but you’ll need repeat clears if you want multiple copies of the same fireplace, rug, table, or trophy in your housing layout.
- This guide is written from a Horde perspective: every entry tells you exactly how to reach that dungeon or raid from Orgrimmar using portals, zeppelins, and flight paths that actually exist in 2025.
- Use it like a shopping list: pick the decor, find the expansion section, follow the travel notes, get in, delete the boss, grab your World of Warcraft housing decor, and go back to arguing with your chair placement.
Why This World of Warcraft Housing Decor List Exists (And How to Use It)
The goal here is simple: reduce the “WTF do I run?” factor down to something manageable.
If you’re playing Horde with Orgrimmar as your home base, you can treat this guide as a shopping list for World of Warcraft housing decor:
- Pick the decor piece you want for your house.
- Find it under the appropriate expansion header.
- Follow the short travel route from Orgrimmar.
- Kill the boss, grab the decor, and get back to rearranging your chairs for the twentieth time.
The list will grow as Blizzard adds more decor sources to older content, but right now this is the full known set of dungeon and raid housing drops you can reasonably chase in a weekend.

Until Blizzard puts a big glowing house icon next to decor-dropping bosses, guides like this are the difference between “quick targeted farm” and “I just accidentally ran six raids for transmog instead of furniture.”
Hopefully this keeps you in the first category.
