    I've been playing a bit last night with a test 615 mission, spare tokens, and figured out the following important fact: An ilvl 616 follower without a counter to the mission appears to give BETTER odds than an ilvl 603 one with the required counter (the 616 follower didn't had any relevant...

    Not sure about rumors, as I've cautiously put only 4 orders ever at level 3 (and never before). I got 2 gear improves out of those 2, so either the luck gods have been feeling generous, or the bunker is really totally useless before 3.

    Yep. Used the Hearthstone (which I got early, like 24h after unlocking garrison) on an engineer follower (since I'll never build an engineering structure on my main) to replace its profession by the trait, worked perfectly. He's one of my 3 "powerlevelers" guys who get sent on missions to grab...

    One heartstone set to next to the AH in Stormwind, your garrison stone. Set. (unless you want to travel to the AH more than once every 20mn yet don't want to park there)

    But that would mean you actually care about facts. Like finding about them, instead of spouting back arguments you were told were "good arguments against evilution" without basis whatsoever. Like that guy who was saying "tide goes up; tide goes down. Can't explain THAT!" (I admit, the...

    I'll have a simple example. I have a weaponsmith alt (played as a complete casual alt). In MoP, he started out making himself a set of green qual armor (with the exception of bracers, who went straight blue qual). Once he had that, he remade pieces of armor until he had blue quality armor...

    No they don't. It was implemented in the client code, but you can't actually have one. Only a link to one.

    It's the mission slot for the fixed "get only once" missions. Apparently, instead of popping no mission until you get the next "once" mission, he keeps popping the default mission. (basically, this mission is the "cloth cap" of missions)

    I think that missions have a respawn time that's related to their duration (i.e. a 1h mission might respawn in 6 hours, a 10h mission will respawn like 48h later. Or something). I've got half-and-half (one follower parked somewhere where the sun doesn't shine), and the 95-99 bracket is almost...

    I just had "Invasion" pop like 10mn ago. As expected, I turned in the apexis, warning popped. It helped we had the choice between Pit and no-rep dailies for the last week, so we got lots of that one. Half my guild has had invasions pop during the last two days. Silver is easy, gold require...

    It's called "World of Diablocraft" these days. Basically, your main gear is not specialization-specific. Tank/Heal gear differs on cloak, neck, rings and trinkets; the rest is straight general stats.

    If you have a crafting profession (inscription and enchanting count as one), the prof building lets you basically have double cooldowns (or bigger if you have a high level follower assigned to it) per day. For the inscription, you can make additional War Paints, for enchanting you get Fractured...

    The Highmaul raids are the only mission where you need 6 counters with 3 followers (meaning you pray for the right combo to come up). The Elemental Runes missions are 5 threats/3 follower ones, which are only barely easier to make (and somehow the 615 robe mission, which sounds like a bug). All...

    At least with a rank 3, you'll probably get enough WO to run a full day's production. With rank 2, you can't have 24 of production running (while the mine's queue is full). Well, at least you might get one additional primal spirit every 2 or 3 days?

    4 different Highmaul raids (25% of the raids, there's 16 different raid combinations of bosses), epic 645 neck loot mission, 645 equip follower token mission, 630 trinket and 630 neck loot missions. There might be a perfect combination of followers that will allow you to counter every single...

    This is partly why I tend to disagree with the whole "versatility is your worst stat" bandwagon on all the guides. Sure, it does not increase your damage (or healing) as much as the other stats. On the other hand, it reduces the damage you get from all those AOE damage you will take during every...

    They hotfixed the carts to yield more archeo/spirits, and less ore (if I read the notes right).

    Well, that was somehow hotfixed. Plants now cost 50GR, dust/fur/hide 40, and ore 30. Which means the rotating trick only works for ore... which you usually have several 200 stacks banked anyway. Damn.

    Given that getting the update to rare is equal to 10 times the 99-100 xp, and to epic twice that, lower level missions are kind of the worst XP/GR ratio imaginable. A 99 mission will have like +1200 bonus XP where a level 100 mission that cost 5 more GR will have +10k. The getting only 4-5...

    Quick design idea: Guild hall can grow multiple levels, with number of plots going up with each level (whose price in Guild Resources increase fast). Guild officers pick what goes in each plot (and yes, you can put multiples, if you want to), then each player can pick one building of his...

    Note that missions appear to have a 4 days lifetime. If you don't take them, they go away. I had a rare mission for a bonus raid roll pop on friday afternoon; it was there this morning and gone when I came back from work (I'm EU, maintenance is tomorrow so it's not that). Ditto the 100 GR...

    Bodyguards are awesome. For most of my alts, it's going to be purchased as soon as I get the outpost notes from Talador (since you need those or wait level 100 to purchase the plans). 3 of them!50, 100 and 200%. Got 2 of the 200% from random epic followers. Of course, none of the missions for GR...

    Did that; it helps that I just upgraded the Garrison to 3. I'm going to shelve away all the profession-linked followers that don't have a major counter I'm missing; that slot is better used by any loc/ennemy counter, racial perk or performance enhancer from random. Still need Croman though...

    All of the outposts apparently have a Mission table available. Haven't looked at the one in Nagrand yet. One of your bodyguards,Leorajh(one that's hidden away prisoner in a cave in Arak with no quest leading there; you have to know about it) can do that once you're best friend with him. Which...

    If it's for one of your professions, no. However, if you built one for a different profession, you need rank 3 to unlock the epic profession items on the vendor.

    It doesn't. It merely stops the current offensive. The very fact that Khadgar can open ("for a short time") a portal to Stormwind even with the Dark Portal closed shows that you can still reach Azeroth from Draenor. Leave the Iron Horde alone, and they'll rebuild a portal, find a fresh bunch of...

    Figured it out when I entered my first normal dungeon after quest, and got my first scrap on the first guy I looted. I think what makes a difference is elite vs non-elite. Non elite have probably a sub-% drop rate. Elites slightly better. Well, War Mill is still good for the free-no hassle...
