The savage blood free-fall hit 250g when I cashed out. I nearly wept.
People are desperately trying to sell them in bulk in trade channel these days.
So, any idea if all of this follower shit I've stockpiled will be used at all in 6.2? A follower ilevel raise, or usable on the new boat missions?
WarcraftDevs on Twitter:
So, no. Basically, 6.2 doesn't use any stockpiled stuff (extra rolls, bloods, followers). It's not like 6.1 where you could raise your followers to 675 to trigger raid missions immediately; you'll need 3 ships to counter 9 threats, which will take time since:
1) You need multiple ship types, which require raising the shipyard to 3 to unlock plans.
2) You need to raise your ship to epic quality to unlock their third ability slots and purchase the appropriate gear to slot there.
Ships don't work exactly like followers; they start with a crew, then you unlock empty ability slots by leveling them, and purchase equipment to stick there. So, apparently, if you have enough resources, you can switch your ships' gear to optimize for a mission. I'll keep at least one Trained Shark Tank around.
Or you can run your first missions at 70% chance (thankfully, the base chance for the raids seems to be 50%).
That being said there will be more 675 follower missions added so don't just vendor all your upgrade items yet.
If, like me, you have all your followers at 675, plus 8 stacks of upgrades (1 epic, 1 rare, 6 greens) of each type... you don't really need any.
I should replace the Bunker with a Mage Tower. Would get me to raid meeting points faster (I hope there's an Ogre Gate near the Citadel)...
