    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    Only real benefit to trinkets is that the Heroic Dungeon ones aren't in the "grab-bag loot pile" but rather in the specific-boss loot pools, so they can be a bit annoying to find the right ones in time for raid.

    Yeah, but raiders are still going to want those greater gems. JC profit's going to be low right now, but that shit's going to spike in December, as long as you don't have too many competitors on your server (which, with everyone dropping JC, seems likely!).

    1) Make an expansion with unlimited Side-grades. 2) Take away reforging so that players NEED those side-grades. Claim that all stats are equal now to cover your arse and give bad players something to quote to defend their badness. 3) Give them a taste of a system that prevents rage over...

    Judging by the rate at which Weapon/Armor Upgrade missions pop up for followers, and the rate the shit comes out of Salvage boxes, I'm going to be stuck with a Dwarven Bunker and the burning rage of work orders producing 1 Scrap instead of something useful for a while, in order to get a full...

    I normally couldn't give two shits about the WoW "story," but Admiral Taylor dying off-camera rustled my jimmies. Can't decide whether it's better or worse that he then hangs out in ghost-form like nothing happened.

    Flight paths are so buggered. I've been hovering in the middle of a flock of 20 other players outside the garrison for the last half hour.

    Each zone requires that you be at its minimum level to access the quests. It's pretty hard-funneled. Expansion launch is one of the few times I'm happy that my server is a backwater.

    I'm really hoping they add a 4th level to the garrison in the mid-expansion patch. A third large and medium lot would be awesome. There's at least one spot obviously left for expansion in the size 3 garrison.

    No sploits, EU servers went up 5-6 hours ago. That's just leveling efficiently, on a path you already know, in very good PVE gear, and chugging Garrison EXP Potions as you go. Also, sacrificing goats to the dark lord.

    One of the Inn's missions grants extra Loot-Roll Seals, going past the 3-cap for the week. In beta, it appeared at least once a week.

    Lumber Mill also has a time issue. At 20GR/4hours, if you do any upgrading to it at all, it's going to take forever to produce more garrison resources than it cost to build/upgrade. Phylarch doubles that, after the building is already level 3, but with the number of days you'll have to wait to...

    Was buying the Leather to max a leatherworker before the expansion dropped, but then realized I should just turn around and resell the bloated-price Borean leather/Savage Leather after I had cleared out the few cheap auctions. Feels like the Draenor Catch-up mechanic+pile of barns should be a...

    Windwalker Monk is going to *feel* completely different at level 100 than it does now. Butterfly Glyph is a gamechanger for raiding. I always hated DPSing on my Monk in MoP, which I luckily got to avoid most of the time because Brewmaster was generally the solo-tank of choice for the fights...

    Well, the daily gathering is mostly so that you can skip a zone ahead earlier on Draenor and have less competition for quests. You get a pretty big chunk of EXP turning all that shit in with Whee!//Garrison Potion. You do like 30 minutes of leveling in the course of 2 minutes of turning in...

    Even if 90% of the CM boxes are gold, I'm still doing it every day until raid unlocks. Same with Heroic Mode dungeons for chances at Warforged/Gems/Movespeed. The random dude who shows up to the first scheduled raid wearing 75% last-zone quest rewards has all of my hate. Especially when...

    If your Alt is on another license, and creates a group where he is the leader that your main joins, then yes. Otherwise, no.

    It's very easy. You pay a couple hundred gold and 100-300 garrison resources at the architect table to replace a building with another one. If you haven't used the new building before, you'll generally have a few set-up quests to do, but they're generally rather short.

    You have 18 days to get bloods, with alts on the barn (and gathering professions giving you Primals that can be turned in for more blood) that's more than enough to make 215 Work Orders you'll need to get the achievement and 90 blood. You need to do about 12 Work Orders a day at that pace...

    Also, the Crafted Weapon is lower iLVL than the Crafted Armor, which is annoying. You'll still want to craft it before you start raiding... you'll just replace it immediatly, which is frustrating, especially if you dual wield. So many bloods pissed down the drain.

    Nothing is soulbound except Recipes. So you want to level your crafting alts early to start doing their daily recipe token acquisition, but that just means taking ~6 hours of launch week pushing all of your profession mules up to cap, less if you only actually care about a select few (for...

    That's how it determines what tier you're at for rewards, not when the missions themselves will appear. That's tied to your followers' gear ilvl. If you haven't done any raids, it provides the lowest raid tier of loot. If you are actively doings raids, it provides the next tier up from what...

    My small buildings are based on being double gathering. There's no real reason to have a Production prof. on your main, since your profession alts can access their tradeskill buildings with like, 1.5h of leveling time. Your main will be the character in the world, running around, doing stuff...

    Also remember to grab the Dwarven Bunker/War Mill building for your garrison while leveling, since it doubles your chance of having your quest rewards bump up to Purple quality, which can get you some upgrades earlier than expected in the leveling process.
