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

Compared a few different spots for this Lumber:

Zuldazar: 320 lumber/hour
Nazmir: 350 lumber/hour
Tiragarde Sound (north): 330 lumber/hour
Tiragarde Sound (south): 350 lumber/hour

This is on a druid fully focused on gathering lumber with no distractions. Lots of really good choices. Didn't like Zuldazar due to all the trees. Was gonna try Stormsong too but had such good results in the other zones I didn't feel the need.

How do you get the Magic Hatchet needed to gather this? I unlocked my house but didn't receive the hatchet.

A bit too rare for just in Mechagon for the endeavor.

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.

You need to harvest 250 of this type of lumber to earn the achievement Azeroth's Lumberjack 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. :)

There is always a node @ 71.49, 51.99....AVOID IT! It is a trap, lol! It is a PvP spot, and the mobs are your level! I just swooped in and realized it a half a second before an ugly Patchwork dude hook chained me >.<

There are a couple of things that did help me though. Firstly, farm at 'night'. The axes really stand out then. Secondly, turn off the tracking for herbs and ore, or anything else that will distract you from your goal of collecting wood! And finally, something I always do anyway, is I put the extra little map screen up. You can do this by pressing <shift> and the letter 'm'. You hoover over the top left until u see a box that you can unlock it, then put it anywhere on your screen that you want!

Hope this was helpful ♥

UGH! Just found another PvP area (I don't remember these places!) 87.44, 50.16 Plunder Harbor. The elites are your level, so again, Alliance Beware!
