Shadowmoon Lumber Returned to Warlords of Draenor Zones in the Midnight Pre-Patch

Initially missing during the launch of early access housing, Shadowmoon Lumber is now available for harvesting across Warlords of Draenor zones in the Midnight Pre-Patch, allowing players to complete the Lumberjack Warlord achievement!

Player housing launched with a wide range of decor, much of which can be crafted from existing professions, all of them sharing various types of lumber as a new common reagent. Unlocked by completing Lumber For You, twelve different versions of the resource are gathered from axe-wedged trees in each expansion.

However, Warlords of Draenor trees were not available for harvesting when early access Housing went live in patch 11.2.7, with a workaround was provided through a vendor exchanging an equal amount of Outland Olemba Lumber instead. With the proper trees once again able to be harvested, that exchange has been removed, so players will need to travel to Warlords of Draenor zones to collect the resource as originally intended.

With the initial release of patch 11.2.7, Draenor trees are not yet ready for harvesting. We expect that they will become harvestable in the coming weeks.

Players looking for Shadowmoon Lumber to craft items with Warlords of Draenor professions should instead harvest Olemba Lumber from Outland. The lumberjack in each neighborhood will trade Olemba Lumber for an equal amount of Shadowmoon Lumber until the trees in Draenor catch up.

The Lumberjack Warlord achievement requires harvesting quite a few of these new trees across any of the Draenor zones. Spires of Arak, Talador, and Shadowmoon Valley seem to have the widest range of spawns, while Gorgrond, Ashran, and the Tanaan Jungle are much more sparse. As expected, you'll typically find nodes in more heavily wooded areas, though this is not an absolute as several trees, mushrooms, and even some odd vines can be harvested.
