Retroactive Mounted Lumber Harvesting Achievements
Counting down the days till Midnight's launch and need something to fill the time? Consider Lumber Harvesting and get a jump on the mounted harvesting achievements today. In a recent hotfix on Live servers, trackers for lumber harvesting were implemented allowing players to retroactively make progress on the achievements that award mounted lumber harvesting.

Players will still need to wait for the achievements themselves to be available starting with MIdnight's launch before they can earn mounted lumber harvesting. As of the time of publication, the achievements are still not available on the Midnight Pre-Patch PTR servers.
Currently 12 achievements exist that award mounted harvesting for their expansion-specific zones based on their respective lumber types:

How to Harvest Lumber
Lumber is a newly introduced crafting material in Patch 11.2.7 used as a required reagent in all Decor crafts in Player Housing. This new material is Warbound, meaning you can share this reagent across your alts but cannot sell it on the Auction House or trade it to another player.
Lumber harvesting does not require a particular profession and is unlocked as part of the Player Housing Intro campaign. Simply complete Lumber For You from Lestia Goldenstrike/Xiz'ro in Founder's Point/Razorwind Shores to see Lumber nodes throughout the world as you explore.
You can purchase the Harvesting Hatchet from the above NPCs which will allow you to toggle lumber nodes on the mini-map. If you're looking to make this lumber farm a bit easier, consider doing it on a Druid as they don't need to leave Flight Form in order to harvest lumber and you can always transfer the materials over since they're Warbound,

You can't sell the lumber directly on the Auction House - but for those enterprising players that want to earn some gold, turning lumber into Housing Decor will likely earn at least a bit of gold, depending on your server.
