Why have I still not had an invasion at my garrison? The dude out front says it is immenent. I have been 100 for a while and Garrison is at level 3.
Did I need to do some world quest?

No idea. Mine has the quest mark to start the invasion, I just couldn't be bothered to do it yet.

Terrible advice. Get the stable. You can summon a talbuk and engage in combat while riding it. It's 10,000 times better than the shitty tank.
Large Building: Barracks then Bunker
Medium: Lumber Mill, then Inn
Small: Profession, then Salvage Yard, then Profession
Reasoning
You want shit that improves your Garrison, then stuff that improves your Followers ASAP. High ilevel followers let you go on high ilevel missions which give you Timeless Isle style purples occasionally, and a chance at free Highmaul gear once a week.
Barracks
The barracks provides Benefit at Level 1 and Level 3, with a nice utility at level 2 that can give you some specific benefits, like Repair and Follower Mission assignment when in Draenor.
Level 1 bunker opens up a new mission type that awards higher follower XP, and more missions being availible.
Level 3 bunker allows you to have 5 more followers active. Normally you can only have 20 followers active, so a level 3 bunker gives you 25% more followers to do shit with.
Bunker
Level 2 bunker opens up work orders for garrison resources. The bunker eats resources at the same rate the Lumber Mill produces them. The bunker work orders seem to have around a 25-33% chance to reward follower upgrade items, and all work orders in general seem to have a chance at Apexis Crystals and Abrogator Stones (legendary ring quest items)
Level 3 bunker gives you one of your Seals of Fate (warforged seal for WoD) for free, a nice bonus.
Level 1 bunker is not very useful as it gives a chance at upgrading quest rewards, which won't be very strong as we have SoO gear.
Lumber Mill
Level 1 lumber mill opens up work orders for timber gained from chopping down trees
There doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to leveling lumber from 1 to 2, as 7 work orders takes 28 hours IRL to accomplish, harvesting larger trees lets you get more lumber quicker, but the choke point is the 4 hour work order, not harvesting.
Inn
The Inn will be one of your most important long term buildings.
At level 2, Once a week you can recruit a follower with 1 trait of your choosing.
Level 1 unlocks daily dungeon missions which can reward toys, and level 3 unlocks Treasure follower missions which have increased gold rewards.
Don't get the Storehouse Small building, it sounds like a good idea on paper (more work orders) but work orders take 4 hours IRL to complete, so just having a larger queue is worthless.
Salvage Yard
The salvage yard gives a chance at your followers giving you a crate of crap at the end of a mission. At level 2 and above these crates can start containing Follower Upgrade items, and at level 3 can even contain world drop BOEs

Idk man, being able to 2 shot mobs and loot them and turn in quests while inside a seige tank got me through nagrand in less than an hour and a half.
I just sat out in the talbuk fields and 2 shot pack after pack of beasts for soup bones and turned in a few hundred to get from 99.5 to 100 lol...
How is that talbuk better than aoe 2 shotting everything?

With stables it will be awesome, if you aren't getting the stables the tank is better.

Well in 2 days when you have the gear and can 2 shot everything on your Talbuk, you're going to wonder why you're rolling around in a PoS tank that only has a use when you're leveling.
Also, you can gather while on it.

When you run out of garrison resources you'll be sucking every goblins cock within 100 miles for their resource crates.

Nah, I'm running Lumber Mill + Trading post. GR are coming well enough now that my garrison is lvl3. I can wait a few days to amass enough GR to upgrade my Barracks and War Mill to lvl2.
So I built an Inn (level 2) and I just hit 100 today but I have hardly any resources. I think I made the wrong decision and I should've built a Lumber Mill. Should I demo my Inn and start a Mill?

LM is 120 GR/day with work orders.
Trading Post is 180/day.
Between the two, the cache, and follower missions awarding GR, it should be coming well enough.

I can gather in a sky golem my main man. Which I'll never do because having a gathering prof is aids.

Gathering professions are great for Raiders that don't need to deal with penny stock and are gold capped.
Even if it were still up, it's just a dumping ground for screenshots and memes.
