    It's supposed to happen randomly but very rarely. That's why the level 3 mine bonus is having guards in it.

    He has fixed increased mission success; can't lose it due to reroll (and no other follower can have it).

    It's supposed to be a bug, and they've told us they're going to fix it, i.e. only the WO that occur while your follower is assigned get their bonus. But that's not happening yet. For garden, there's already a bit of that, in that you get the plant you specify only if the follower was assigned...

    I don't think so. I usually launch missions in the morning, and I have 7 or 8 available; I get back from work and I have about 10-12 missions waiting. On Monday, I skipped the morning login (due to issues related to my lack of activating the alarm clock, and the subsequent rush when I wake up...

    Well, good to know. Note that you get at most one bag per level per week, but you can get it during any invasion (not just your first), and you still get the GR/Apexis for all invasions. If you're GR-starved, do invasions.

    It's called randomness. In theory, you could have a 30 man raid, with 30 loots. (we had an heroic dungeon in which everyone looted off the first and second boss, nothing on third, and "normal" full loot on last)

    Now all they have to do is to put some ore to good use so that it becomes useful as well.

    Basically, you get your daily after 3 (instead of 5), and you get your monthly just for logging in (which you should do anyway to give your guild influence).

    And seeing as the shadow priests didn't seem to be affected by recent patching, that might be why. I've done a quick calculations, and for Holy Priests, going from best combo (multi/mastery) to worst combo (hast/versa) is about a -24 ilvl penalty. If you're upgrading by 15 ilvl (usual tier...

    The only real reason you would have to keep gathering professions is going on gathering binges to get, not ore or herbs, but primal spirits. Even if you get less than in your garrison nodes, you do get more than just harvesting your garrison (i.e. you get more savage bloods). But I'm not...

    Have a look at the greens (or blues) anyway. They specifically put a pool with the most used BOEs in transmog, taken straight from their database. The items are actually quite good-looking or very visual.

    The very first quest line sending you to the "city" (which stopped being meaningful when they went full Garrison) has you meeting the innkeeper and the faction vendor area (and a random newbie, for some reason).

    Just got the reroll follower rare mission (Path of the Titans), which is 90, but have no followers below 98. I don't think those missions obey normal rules.

    Well, that's Draenor we're in. Unless they came around using Khadgar's portal from Orgrimmar, there aren't supposed to be any Trolls whatsoever around. No troll ruins, cities, or lost tribe. Of course, you can take any troll raid, substitute for one of the orc clans, and you're done.

    Friends are still grumbling about that Iron Horde invasion. 987pts engaging the boss, and no points for defeating him. I thought they were supposed to have hotfixed that.

    Upgrading herb garden never worked anyway. That's because it is the same building at all levels, you just had more herb crates pop instead of decorative pots. The mine, on the other hand, was a different location; you got a "Discovered: Lunarfall mine" message when entering your freshly upgraded...

    At the same time that we incentive level 100 3-follower missions rather than level 99 1-follower ones. Note that it simply means a slowdown in cooldown-capped resources. Missions take priority over 6 extra cooldown items, since your meaningful production is capped by Savage Blood acquisition...

    Two bloods per day seems a bit above my average. Most resources are tanking. The reason is simple: cooldowns have capped the demand, while the offer got buffed in most cases (enchanter hut, mine, garden). Note that I'm starting to see the crafted items dropping in price. For the same...

    Except that, once you've done them fast, you wait until the mission repop. I'm not convinced of the overall importance of epic mount. That's because they improved the trinkets, but apparently forgot to change the trinkets generated by the random garrison mission.

    Well, at least the 95-99 missions still reward the good stuff. However, you're now disinclined to recruit new followers at the Inn, since that suddenly drops your salvage rate.

    Now that tokens stack, keep them around. When you get one mission: 1) Wait until everyone is back from their missions. 2) Use the Mission Planner to build your best shot mission 3) Check who is orange to the mission, and figure if you have enough tokens to boost him/her (I don't think...

    All of the profession buildings can make every basic item, up to ilvl 640 (need level 3 building, meaning you need level 100 even if the item is 91 req. Unless you run it for your alts). The characters with professions are the ones who make the upgrades to 655 and higher.

    They did not have ressources (ahem, remind me the number of millions of $ getting in every month?) to have racial garrisons (you just get to pick your guards), but I think they should have themed the buildings themselves. For alliance, the only non-human building I've seen is the dwarven bunker...

    They've specifically said they're NOT going to do it. Basically, they don't expect the have the garrison in the next expansion (we'd have to rebuild one anyway), so they're not going to bother writing special sections for stuff that won't go away. (and they also added that they regretted...

    The profession followers have their effect "applied" when you loot the crates. Put Pleasurebot in, grab the hexcloth, get him out. And spend 10mn waiting for the WO gal to come back - she appears to object to the concept of Pleasure Bots, and runs out whenever I allocate the bot to the building...

    It helps that one of my scavenger followers can double the 99 and 97 GR missions, plus he and the other scavenger both double one of the two 600 missions (500 GR from that). And that other also counters one of the threat on the other 600 GR mission, raising its % success (it's better on average...

    Can't talk about the gold, but for silver, the threshold and cooldown on the heal is specifically set up so that you do need to DPS down the healer between the time it tries to heal itself up and the second heal. Being able to interrupt heal twice is "not the right way".

    I've been surprised by the AI of the bodyguards/temp pets. My bodyguard does run to the back of the mob at the instant it starts to channel any uninterruptible frontal attack where it's not going to turn. (actually, it's an artefact of the AI system where pets place themselves on back if...

    I get on average 2 upgrade per day (6 WO). Per GR, that's far higher than the salvage yard (when you consider the crate drop compared to mission cost, then the chance of having a follower upgrade in the crate).

    From what I'm told, the proving grounds scale above ilvl 610. That is, it does not matter if you have 640 or 610, it's going to increase damage/hp to match. So, above 610, it only becomes easier if your class scale more than linearly with gear levels. Thankfully, it's trivial for healers...

    That's because they are actually invisible buffs (no icon), and they used the same buff on both items. Since you can't have the same buff twice, the +skill does not stack. (they used invisible buffs because they did not implement +skill on gear, so they had to make a kludge for the very few...
