You Can Clear WoW’s Decor Treasure Hunt Dailies in Minutes With These Map Pins

Why These Treasure Hunts Matter (and Why They’re Annoying at First)

After spending an evening and three different alts fumbling around Azeroth for one chandelier, I finally sat down and mapped out every Horde Decor Treasure Hunt I could find. The breakthrough came when I stopped trying to “solve” the riddles in my head and started treating them like what they really are: stylish daily world quests with very specific coordinates.

If you’re stuck on the new housing riddles, or you just want to clear your dailies in 5-10 minutes and get back to raiding, this guide walks you through:

• How to unlock the housing system and Treasure Hunts
• How the daily assignment system actually works
• Cross-faction décor unlock rules (Horde vs Alliance)
• Practical coordinate use on PC/Mac and console
• Every currently known Horde Decor Treasure Hunt riddle with its solution and coordinates

If I can go from “wandering around Razorwind like a lost murloc” to doing three hunts in under 20 minutes, you can too.

Step 1: Unlock Housing and Your First Decor Treasure Hunt

First thing I wish I’d noticed: none of this exists unless you’ve pre-purchased Midnight. I spent a good 10 minutes hunting for the housing button on a friend’s account that didn’t have it purchased yet. Don’t make that mistake.

Once you’ve got access, here’s how to get into the Decor Treasure Hunt loop:

• Press H to open the Housing Dashboard (bottom-right icon).
• Follow the short housing tutorial questline it offers. This walks you through picking a neighborhood, buying a starter house, and placing a couple of basic items.
• After the tutorial is done, pick (or confirm) your neighborhood. You can move later for free, so don’t stress too much here.
• On Horde characters, head to Razorwind Shores – Commons area. Look for an NPC called The Last Architect at approximately (54.0, 58.0).
• On Alliance, The Last Architect hangs out around the Town Hall in your neighborhood hub.

The Last Architect is your source for Decor Treasure Hunt dailies. Each quest shows a specific décor item as the reward and gives you a flavor-text riddle instead of a map pin.

Step 2: Understand How Daily Decor Treasure Hunts Work

This next part is where I got confused at first, because the system is a bit different from normal world quests.

• One Treasure Hunt per housing plot, per day. If you own three plots, you can have up to three different riddles daily.
• Assignments are random. You won’t get the same item every day, and two plots can get totally different riddles.
• Faction-themed items, shared unlock. Horde gets Orgrimmar/Silvermoon/Razorwind-flavored pieces; Alliance gets Stormwind/Bel’ameth/Gilnean-style décor. But once you find an item, it unlocks account-wide for both factions.
• Riddles point somewhere in the open world. Usually a specific landmark, cave, bridge, or platform. There’s no automatic map marker.
• At the spot, you’ll see a dig sparkle or interaction prompt. If you’re at the right coordinates but don’t see it, nudge around a few yards and rotate the camera.

Treasure Hunts are designed to take about 5-10 minutes each if you know where you’re going. The first time I tried to “honor the spirit” of the riddles and solve them blind; it was fun for one or two, then just turned into travel-time bloat. Now I treat the riddles as flavor and use coordinates to save my patience.

Step 3: Using Coordinates Efficiently (PC, Mac, and Console)

Before we jump into the giant list of Horde solutions, here’s how to actually use the coordinates in practice. This alone cut my time per hunt in half.

On PC/Mac with addons (recommended)

• Install any basic coordinate/waypoint addon (TomTom-style). Once it’s enabled, you can type something like /way 50.9 94.7 in the chat window.
• This drops an arrow or map pin you can just fly/ride to.
• When you arrive and the arrow says “0 m”, start looking around your feet for the dig prompt.

I ended up setting a small macro on my bar so I could quickly update waypoints without fighting chat tabs.

On console or without addons

• Open your world map and check if coordinates are shown along the bottom or top (many console layouts show them as you move the cursor).
• Use the stick or mouse to move the map cursor until you’re roughly at the listed x, y values (e.g. 50.9, 94.7).
• Drop a personal map pin there if the UI allows it, then set it as your tracked objective.
• Fly/ride toward the pin, then zoom the minimap and adjust slightly as needed once the numbers are close.

It’s a bit clunkier than an addon arrow, but after a couple of hunts you’ll get a feel for how coordinates translate to real space. I usually overshoot slightly and then circle back to line up both numbers.

Horde Decor Treasure Hunt Solutions & Coordinates

Everything in this section comes from actual digs I’ve completed on my Horde characters, with three exceptions that are still marked as “N/A” in my notes. For those, I’ll mention the riddle behavior but no fake coordinates.

All of these are picked up from The Last Architect in the Razorwind Shores Commons at (54.0, 58.0).

• Carved Elven Bookcase – Top wyvern platform circling above the sea; stand on the central perch at (50.9, 94.7).

What About Alliance Decor Hunts?

Alliance neighborhoods work almost identically: same daily rules, same type of riddles, just different flavor (Stormwind, Bel’ameth, rustic human/elf styles). The big thing to remember is that any item you unlock on Horde is available on your Alliance characters too, even if the model is slightly different (like Goldshire-style windows vs Orgrimmar iron-studded ones).

My own routine now is to park one Horde and one Alliance character near The Last Architect, knock out their daily riddles with coordinates, then hop into actual content with a little extra housing swag waiting back home.

Finishing Up – Making the Most of Your Hunts

Once you get past the initial “where on Azeroth is this?” hump, these Decor Treasure Hunts become a quick, chill side activity that slowly fills your housing catalog. A few final tips that helped me:

• Chain flights smartly. If you have multiple hunts pointing to the same general zone, do them in one trip before hearthstoning.
• Zoom your minimap. A lot of dig spots are only a few yards wide; tight zoom makes it easier to see the sparkle.
• Think vertical. If you’re exactly on the coordinates but see nothing, you might be under a platform or above a cave.
• Preview your reward. The quest window shows the décor model; if it doesn’t fit your theme, you can always skip that day and chase something cooler later.

Stick with it for a week and you’ll already have a house full of Horde-flavored furniture and lighting. And once you’ve got the routes down for these coordinates, every new riddle Blizzard adds will feel a lot less intimidating. If I could go from getting lost on my very first “highest wyvern perch” hint to clearing three hunts before my raid timer, you absolutely can too.
