How do I start the Decor Treasure Hunt?

To start the Decor Treasure Hunt, go to Founder's Point Town Square and pick up the weekly quest. Speak to 'The Last Architect' in Founder's Point. Alliance players can find him at coordinates 52.6, 37.6, while Horde players should head to 54.0, 58.0. This is a daily quest available after unlocking the Housing feature. Simply interact with the NPC to receive your daily riddle.

Is the riddle random each time?

In the Decor Treasure Hunt, riddles are fixed per Patch 11.2.7 and match our coordinates. While the daily assignment is random from a pool of possible clues, the solution location for each specific text (e.g., 'Pale moonlight rises...') remains constant. Use our list to instantly find the answer for your specific riddle.

Can I do this quest on multiple characters?

Yes, you can perform this quest on multi-character accounts to maximize your daily collection. The Decor Treasure Hunt is character-specific, meaning each of your alts (level 70+) can pick up their own daily riddle. Since the rewards include tradeable decor items and currency, running this route on multiple characters is the most efficient way to farm the complete housing set. Each character will likely get a different riddle, allowing you to explore different parts of Founder's Point in a single day.

Where is the 'Salt clings to old wood' location?

The 'Salt clings to old wood location' is one of the trickier riddles to solve because it requires you to go underwater. Head to the coastal area of Founder's Point and dive into the sea behind the Tortollan pub. You are looking for a shipwreck debris field on the ocean floor. The specific item, a Wicker Basket or similar chest, is hidden behind a wooden screen near a lone barrel at coordinates 61.6, 79.4. We highly recommend bringing an underwater breathing potion or swim speed elixir to reach this spot comfortably.

What are the weekly rules and account sharing?

For the Decor Treasure Hunt, weekly rules apply to 'Epic' rarity Housing Decor rewards. Your first completion of the week per account has a higher chance to drop these rare items. Subsequent runs give standard gold and common decor. Resets occur every Tuesday (NA) or Wednesday (EU).

Do coordinates change week-to-week?

There is no coordinates variability for the riddles within a specific game patch. All riddle locations listed in this guide are verified and fixed for Patch 11.2.7. You can rely on these coordinates (e.g., /way 49.89 56.69) to be accurate every time you receive that specific riddle. However, Blizzard may rotate or move locations in major future updates (like 11.3). If that happens, we will update this guide immediately. For now, rest assured that the spots are static and reliable.

How do I unlock Housing and Founder's Point?

To unlock Housing/Founder’s Point, you must first reach level 70 on your character. Then, head to your faction's capital city (Stormwind for Alliance, Orgrimmar for Horde) and look for the 'Homecoming' introductory quest. Completing this short questline will grant you the 'Hearth to Home' ability, a dedicated teleport spell that takes you directly to Founder's Point. You cannot access the Decor Treasure Hunt or interact with The Last Architect until you have completed this prerequisite housing unlock chain.

What is the fastest route?

The fastest route for the Decor Treasure Hunt takes about 15 minutes if you have a clear path. Start at the Town Square, loop north towards the waterfalls, then follow the river east to the theater, and finish at the southern cliffs. See our 'Route & Coordinates' section for the optimized path step-by-step.
