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...

TBH, you don't need one if you have HandyNotes with Draenor_Treasures installed. It shows the opposing zones treasures as well.

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).

Nothing. There's absolutely nothing new in this game. Except the exclusive use of stock graphics to make it cheaper.

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...

Well, they fixed the Treasure Map AH scam. Maps are now BoP.

I still don't have that achieve from Serpentshrine Caverns. Should do it one day. Maybe.

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...

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)

/slapface. Turns out I was 3 versions behind on the Master Plan. The guys adds stuff faster than I log in!

I does? Where? I haven't noticed (unless it has a big arrow jumping up and down above the data, I would probably miss it).

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...

Master Plan gets better and better with each version. Guildmate installed it yesterday after being "what's that master plan you're talking about" for days, was blown away.

Sounds like those good old TM/Southshore days...

And what's more, they manage a full raid with only 3!

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.

Got about the same amount of epic followers, but only 2 upgrades to rare. Due to sheer versatility, all the epics shot to 100 quickly.

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...

I expect new higher missions for 6.1 and more at 6.2.

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.

If it has no guaranteed pay, no benefits, no risk coverage, it's not a job; it's a calling.

Seems that elites still drop primal, just very rarely. Have seen two drop during Shattrah Assault yesterday.

A quick check on counters needed on rare missions that reward "useful stuff" (i.e. legendary stones, epic items, raid loot) from wowhead. Deadly Minions: 35 Timed Battle: 32 Wild Aggro: 29 Massive Strike: 29 Danger Zone: 29 Powerful Spell: 28 Group Damage: 26 Minion Swarms: 20 Magic...

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...
