    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...

    Unfortunately, it's an exact copy of the warlock spell (meaning you still need a 2nd person to click on the portal). If you're a warlock, you gain exactly nothing. Bodyguards max rep abilities: First (from Ashran): portal to garrison Ogre from Gorgrond: repair Talador: summon spell...

    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...

    Question for the bunker/warmill owners? Where did you find your scraps? I have the bunker for 3 days now, and I still have the initial quest. I've been in four different zones slaughtering a hundred orcs apiece, and none of them ever dropped a single scrap.

    The thing is, every study tells you that long work hours not only mean less productivity, they also mean more errors that you have to fix later. The guy who just pulled a 80-hours week? Not only did he made barely more code than the guy who did 40, but you will have to spend half a week tracking...

    There's really no "good" large building for a raiding main. The barracks are good for the extra 5 followers which bring diversity on the table when it comes to raid missions, but even then, after a while, you'll have everything you need maxed anyway (plus the bodyguard is outdoor only, no...

    Don't know if it's a bug (sounds like a bug), but you also get inconsistent XP for picking. I'm getting low xp (30xp) for picking blackrock ore or plants, but "full xp" for true iron (around 860xp).

    I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't stay for a week before going. At one point, you're going to have to bit the bullet and send some followers on a forlorn mission to just clear up the backlog. I used to always pick the lowest mission I could do, so I could level my low-level followers...

    Now, the computer industry is undergoing a massive stratification and dummyfication. 10-15 years ago, you would be employed writing client-server software using TCP/IP sockets, multi-threaded concurrent processing, with C/C++/maybe Java. You did that, you could develop almost any kind of...

    Basically, we threw everyone that could be spared at the portal.
