    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.

    And it could still work. Just change the abysmal ratio which converts versatility points into %.

    If you've watched the epic "live" trailer, they're the guys saying "are we killing a (whatever)?" "yup, five of them" "we can do that!".

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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).
