Note: Might be better, to introduce Decorations into
something new for Sharandar MC!
╘ Like reenvision Lion Fireplace, into a Correllon Fireplace; or Unicorns others too something different...
OR a
2nd opportunity that's revenue generating solution for old Decorations, for those not into MC crafting too:
╘ this also act as balancing force for the Auction House for those crafting them!

Even if they (offered an alternative too) way to get them in ZEN store that
Uncommon for 225-350 ZEN;
Rare for perhaps 325-450 ZEN, or
Epic for 425-1000 ZEN (depending on max # of each is, as those with 24 or more should be less. That might return some options at least to obtain them, even without Mastercraft.
I mean there are like 20 or 30 different quality Stronghold (craftable) no longer obtainable items; not meant for those at Mysterious Merchant, or in the Wondrous Bazaar of course! Still I like adding back the required items to the Stronghold Temporary Vendor's as well! So this might be an alternative solution, for the still placeable Decorations...

OR a
3rd opportunity to fix
BUG by reintroducing missing pieces at
Stronghold for Decoration requirements:
As it be easy to Craft
Old MC II / MC III items if you could buy Materials again at
Stronghold Temp Vendors!
Note: These are all
placeable Decorations too! ......excluding Halastar Statue, which is long bugged!
https://neverwinter.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Hall#DecorationsThis is (most) core items (many can't be acquired any more) they should validate available at Temporary Vendor's:
♦ [Adamant Nail]
--Many like these should also be added, since old explorer's map no longer exist.♦ [Adamant Rivet]
--Many like these should also be added, since old explorer's map no longer exist.♦ [Burgundy Pitch]
♦ [Cashmere]
♦ [Cashmere Yarn] --didn't check if still available, they should review all...
♦ [Gold Ingot] --Can't be bought at Goldsmith anymore, as example & there are more missing, from other vendors!
♦ [Gold Wire] --Can't be bought at Goldsmith anymore, as example & there are more missing, from other vendors!
♦ [Jute]
♦ [Manticore Felt]
♦ [Manticore Leather] --didn't check if still available, they should review all...
♦ [Samite]
♦ [Spruce Lumber]
♦ [Titansteel Nails]
--Many like these should also be added, since old explorer's map no longer exist.♦ [Plus many others required] ...
╘ this is a work-in-progess to check, as also requires getting Temp Vendors, tending & so forth..
These (may still be available) at Tempory Vendor's similar to Marble, and a few others: (Cryptic needs to confirm the list) though.
♦ [Marble] --Can be bought from Goldsmith still.
♦ [Red Rouge] --Can be bought from Goldsmith still.
♦ [Vermilion Fabric Dye] didn't check...
♦ [Emerald Fabric Dye] didn't check...
♦ [Fieldstone] --Can be bought from Goldsmith still.
♦ [Plus many others required] ...

It also give us something additional to spend Guild Marks on, aside from the recent revision to Guild Food.
https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1266706/bug-sh-decorations-cant-be-made-temp-stronghold-vendors-dont-sellMany guild's stuck having gotten so many pieces, yet can't complete their Guild Halls for this reason.

If they want to learn more what some others offer read a player's blog who does a excellent job:
╘ can change 'layout' size: small, medium, large, or very large; groupings/shapes: square, rectangle; also angle too!
This isn't to encourage more go try this game same era as NW, yet it does show the vision used by other designers...

╘ these are just 3 examples, of 12-15 they offer; each major Mod introduces at least 1.
Still I hold out "hope" for Neverwinter, as do many here!
