In WoW Midnight, achievements and treasures are a great way to collect items for your house, especially if you want a Blood Elf aesthetic. The Ever Painting achievement asks you to go around Eversong Woods and look at seven paintings that are currently being painted by different artists.
The achievement only takes about 20 minutes to get if you use a flying mount, and you earn the Silvermoon Painter’s Cushion as a reward. While most paintings are easy to find, there were two that I struggled to spot: Lost Lamppost and Sway of Red and Gold.
Sway of Red and Gold Painting
Going by the order listed on the achievement, Sway of Red and Gold is first. This painting is located to the southeast of Tranquillien.
What made this one a bit tricky is that there are other paintings in the area, but you can’t interact with them. They’re close enough that I thought I’d done something wrong and maybe ended up at a location that isn’t needed for the achievement.
It turns out that you need to find the easel that has a painter actively working on their art. If you found the other painting first, then you’ll need to head a bit to the north to find the painter working on Sway of Red and Gold so that you can interact with it.
Anar’alah Belore Painting
This painting is located on the Path of Dawn, and it might be the easiest of the entire set to find. You might even run across it when you’re first going from Silvermoon to Fairbreeze Village for the main campaign quests.
On the Path of Dawn, south of the bridge, there’s a statue of Sylvanas, as this is where she made her last stand against Arthas when she was alive and the Ranger General. To the southeast of the statue, you’ll find a painter who captured this moment in Anar’alah Belore, letting you interact with the painting for the achievement.
Babble and Brook Painting
Babble and Brook is found to the east of Goldenmist Village. There’s a river to the east, but you want to stay on the western bank.
You can almost follow the path between Tranquillien and Goldenmist right to the needed location. However, when you reach the river, you want to go north to the waterfall, where you can find a painter working on Babble and Brook on the west bank.
Elrendar’s Song Painting
If you just interacted with Babble and Brook, then this painting is almost exactly to the west of its location. You can follow the exact same path toward Goldenmist, then follow the river to the northeast instead of crossing the bridge when you reach it.
The nice part for this painting is that if you aren’t spotting it, you can go along the river’s bank and keep looking at Goldenmist, as that’s how the artist is set up, so you’ll see him that way.
Lost Lamppost Painting
This was the worst one to find, because the painter is tucked into the tall plants. But first, you need to go to the north of Goldenmist Village, which is a location filled with Lightbloom and hostile creatures.
The actual painting is just to the south of the road. It’s between the plants that are by the road and a large tree, which makes it difficult to actually spot. Use the mark on the map first, then search that area for a small clearing between the plants and a big tree to find the painting.
Light Consuming Painting
This painting is not too close to the rest of the set. You’ll find it in Suncrown Village, which is to the northeast of Tranquillien.
The difficult part of getting to Light Consuming is that it’s not on the ground level. Instead, you need to fly or use Orbs of Translocation to get to the floating platforms above the village. Light Consuming and its artist are on a platform that’s connected to one other platform with a narrow path between them.
Memories of Ghosts Painting
Finally, you have the Memories of Ghosts painting. This one is also not that close to the rest of the set, but it’s quite easy to find. First, you need to go to Windrunner Spire.
When you’re on the path between Tranquillien and Windrunner Spire, you take the fork in the road going left. Then, you’ll spot the painter on your right by some rocks as you approach the Spire.
Once you interact with the final painting, you should get the Ever Painting achievement marked as being complete, which gives you the Silvermoon Painter’s Cushion as a reward.
If the achievement completion notice didn’t come up, then you need to open up the achievement menu and search “Ever Painting.” I had missed one painting interaction and had to return to that location to complete it, and that’s likely what has happened to you if you haven’t gotten the completion either.
