One of the new "Lumber" crafting reagents for housing decor. I am interested to see how difficult it will be to obtain

Comment by Akorrn

This can be found on the trees of Khaz Algar. You can see the icon on your minimap if you activate the Hatchet. Drops 1-3 lumber per tree and is Warbound.

Comment by ranzalduam

To be able to see the wood in the minimap you have to buy a harversting hatchet from Lestia Goldenstrike, in founder's point at 52,38

Comment by Argyrion

If you don´t see any nodes after crossing half of the zone(marked by a golden log on minimap) try pressing your axe again, because you may have deactivated it by mistake.
They are quite abundant.

Comment by Arleos1

Its time to chop some lumber and craft some housing decor! a great way to make some gold until the prices get tanked on your realm!
To get started as alliance, head to founders point and find the lumberjack!
"Lestia Goldenstrike"
/way 51.96, 38.71
(Horde location is an NPC named Xiz'ro /way 54.00, 58.00)
Must purchase the harvesting hatchet- when you use it, it will mark the harvest points on your mini map!
**as a safety precaution, i would click the axe again each time you hearth to ensure its active- they should be all over.

Here is a how-to video on the whole process: https://youtu.be/mLHyNz6Vde0

Comment by Hanneroni

Does anyone know if there are lumber nodes in Founder's Point? I can't find a straight answer anywhere.

05/12/2025: 559 to craft all house decors once.

Comment by Rotok

Blizzard, please, let me use me Mechanized Lumber Extractor to cut lumber without dismounting.

Comment by Amaine

These wood numbers are calculated for crafting decorations from all professions in Early Access Housing. With the launch of the new Midnight expansion, these numbers will likely change.

Ironwood Lumber (Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms): you need 506 pieces
Olemba Lumber (Outland Zones): you need 512 pieces
Coldwind Lumber (Northrend Zones): you need 465 pieces
Ashwood Lumber (Cataclysm Zones): you need 451 pieces
Bamboo Lumber (Mists of Pandaria Zones): you need 526 pieces
Shadowmoon Lumber (Draenor Zones): you need 451 pieces
Fel-Touched Lumber (Broken Isle Zones and Argus): you need 594 pieces
Darkpine Lumber (Battle for Azeroth Zones): you need 476 pieces
Arden Lumber (Shadowlands Zones): you need 532 pieces
Dragonpine Lumber (Dragonflight Zones): you need 654 pieces
Dornic Fir Lumber (Khaz Algar and K'aresh): you need 559 pieces

Comment by hefiz

better statistics : lumber x1 = 79% x2=15% x3=6%

Comment by uglie

Horde will need to visit Xiz'ro to buy the hatchet

Comment by Nobody103

On my AH the market for anything made using lumber is a little silly. The low end is around 200g profit per piece of lumber, and this can get as high as 1000g per piece. Since you can potentially get as high as 4.5 lumber per minute, you're looking at huge farming value.

Avoid the markups - don't buy of the AH. Do your own lumber farming. Just list what you want as a public or guild order and pay for all the mats yourself. You don't need high quality mats, so use the cheapest.

If you put 50 Dornic Lumber into an order with a modest tip you can probably get things made for less than 500g and 15 minutes of farming that would otherwise cost 20-30k.

The markup tends to be the biggest on things that use the least lumber. Something that sells for 8k might only use 8 lumber, while something that sells for 20k uses 50 lumber.

Comment by cadfile

Talk about a grind.... geeze. The items I want to craft need 30 lumber and the nodes mostly give up 1 and the nodes are low and far between. Tried to buy some off the AH and my server had none available. Maybe when the expac is launched the market will be better to buy lumber off the AH

Comment by Beace

Compared a few different spots for this Lumber:

Isle of Dorn: 300 lumber/hour
Hallowfall: 280 lumber/hour
Azj-Kahet: 320 lumber/hour
The Ringing Deeps: 220 lumber/hour

This is on a druid fully focused on gathering lumber with no distractions. A new element here is that enemies are sometimes near the node and at your lvl, so you have to kill them before picking the lumber. Isle of Dorn felt the best to me, but didn't yield quite as much as Azj'Kahet did.

Amaine did an amazing job mathing these totals together, but they weren't in any specific order so I just wanted to posted them by expansion order to make it easier for anyone like me to read through them. Additional thanks to TheCheat54 for a corrected Dragonflight total.

Vanilla -- Ironwood Lumber -- 506
TBC -- Olemba Lumber -- 512
WotLK -- Coldwind Lumber -- 465
Cata -- Ashwood Lumber -- 451
Pandaria -- Bamboo Lumber -- 526
WoD -- Shadowmoon Lumber -- 451
Legion -- Fel-Touched Lumber -- 594
BFA -- Darkpine Lumber -- 476
Shadowlands -- Arden Lumber -- 532
Dragonflight -- Dragonpine Lumber -- 654
TWW -- Dornic Fir Lumber -- 559

Comment by nezagu

Big shout out to Amaine, lithiumburrito and TheCheat54 for doing all the calculations - im adding my 2 cents in and if you are like me and want to work from the hardest to easiest farm (biggest number to lowest number) here you go :)

Dragonpine Lumber - 654 total
Fel-touched Lumber - 594 total
Dornic Fir Lumber - 559 total
Arden Lumber - 532 total
Bamboo Lumber - 526 total
Olemba Lumber - 512 total
Ironwood Lumber - 506 total
Darkpine Lumber - 476 total
Coldwind Lumber - 465 total
Ashwood Lumber - 451 total
Shadowmoon Lumber - 451 total

If you are a completionist like me i would suggest doing PvP queues while you farm... farm those Mark of Honor

Comment by czarl

Not sure if this will help some other dummies...I was having trouble seeing the golden logs and already clicked the hatchet...click it again as you can toggle tracking on/off..AND there is no buff to let you know what state it is in.

Comment by Shaelynia

After prepatch launched, you have to click and learn the hatchet in order to be able to see wood nodes again. I had it in my bag and was flying around wondering why I couldn't see any nodes, even relogged. Accidentally clicked on it when trying to figure out what was going on. Now I can see wood nodes again. Glad I'm able to gain back a bag slot!

Comment by YuppLo

Compared to the other lumber types, this is definitely one of the most annoying ones to grind. I collected mine in Isle of Dorn because it's fairly open and easy to fly around, but the lumber trees are quite spread out sometimes, and there are SO MANY MOBS that aggro to you near the trees and cancel the harvesting. Grinding lumber ain't exactly fun for me, but I hated this one especially.

Siren Isle Dornic Fir Lumber Farming Route

Efficient criss-cross node coverage for housing decor materials

This route covers the best discovered Dornic Fir Lumber gather spots on Siren Isle for players collecting wood for decor crafting. I mapped these while flying back-and-forth across the island to maximize ground coverage (rather than looping only the edges).

📍 Zone Reference: Siren Isle

📌 Dornic Fir Lumber is the lumber type you’ll gather here.

🪵 What This Is Used For

Friendly note for folks following this route:

I’m a leatherworker, and the reason I was collecting Dornic Fir Lumber is for leatherworking decor recipes only. Your mileage may vary if you’re crafting other items, but that’s the count I confirmed.

You’ll need a total of:

68 Dornic Fir Lumber for the two recipes below:

📦 Zhevra-Stripe Rug
— 30 lumber

🛋️ Well-Lit Incontinental Couch
— 38 lumber

✈️ Flight-Path / Sweep Route (South → North)

🔎 Tips for Efficiency

Flying a serpentine pattern/back-and-forth grid helps you cut through the center of the island instead of only skimming the edges.

Use your Lumberjack Harvesting Hatchet (from the Lumber for You) to track nodes on your minimap like herbs/ores.

Lumber nodes are usually visible as golden log icons once tracking is active.

📌 Closing Thoughts

Even though nodes show up on trees and other wooden objects, they tend to cluster best where forested or grassy areas meet elevation changes — the above route has helped me consistently hit most of them without a lot of wasted travel between.

Feel free to tweak the order to suit your flight style or add any spots you find are consistently fruitful!

Happy lumbering! 🌲⚒️

Comment by DaemoniKira

If you're wondering, like I was, how to even gather Lumber:

You will need to unlock the ability to see and collect Lumber by completing the quest Lumber For You, which is part of the Introduction Questline to Player Housing.

If you have already completed the Intro to Housing Questline on a character on your account, you will not have to complete it again on each subsequent character.

Instead, in order to unlock Lumber on alts:

1) Travel to your capital city's Portal Room; take the portal to your faction's Housing Area
2) Fly to the central hub and locate your faction's Lumberjack NPC near the "House Upgrades" NPC (the Horde Lumberjack is Xiz'ro, at /way 53.63, 56.73)
3) Speak to the Lumberjack NPC and buy Harvesting Hatchet from him for 25 Gold
4) Open your inventory and use the Harvesting Hatchet
5) Voila! Now your character can see and collect Lumbers across Azeroth and beyond.

Comment by MikiMM

You need to harvest 250 of this type of lumber to earn the achievement The Lumberjack Within and from then on, you can gather the lumber while mounted. Speeds up the process quite a bit, unless you're druid.

Comment by MikiMM

To increase lumber gathering speed/efficiency, one might want to consider to enable the "Interact Key" in the options and then do a little bit of more fine tuning.
Directly from the Options menu, you can bind the Interact Key to a specific button on your keyboard.

Enable Interact Key (image)

Copy/paste the following commands (including the / symbol, too) in your chat window:

/console SoftTargetInteractRange 30 -- this increases the reach of your interact key (default is 10)

/console SoftTargetInteractArc 2 -- this allows you to interact with objects even if you're not facing them

Finally, upvote the comment so as to spread the knowledge and make everyone's life easier. :)
