Please explain this to me

[zlloyd1]

I am trying to understand Blizzard's thinking on Follower missions in the WoD garrison, and would like some clarity PLEASE....
Since I hit level 110, I have noticed that many of the quests available to followers in my garrison require higher item levels just to have a chance, but in order to get these higher item levels you have to do those quests??
This is a catch 22 it seems to me, and is like saying that in order to get this, you have to do that, but in order to do that, you have to have this??
Is it just me, or is that ridiculous?? I mean, is there any other way to increase the follower item levels besides doing quests with them??
All of my followers at the garrison are level 100 now (I have 16 of them), so the endless XP quests are practically useless, and any quests that offer an upgrade to item level also require a high item level to do.
So again, I ask, is there another way to boost their item level because Blizzard seems to think they are cute doing this??
Thanks in advance!!

One, why are you still doing garrison quests? That was the last expansion.

Two, I never had an issue getting the armor pieces to upgrade their item level, but an easy way is to turn in the scraps in the daily quest for the bunker (for alliance) that gives you armor sets for your followers. That should get them up to doing the quests in the garrison for more.

get a dwarven bunker if alliance and do work orders for ilvl upgrades i think.
oh and a salvage yard also if i'm not mistaken

This community never fails to surprise me.

I assume achievements. I still have a few I need to go back and do.

Back the OP's question. I never had an issue at the time working my followers up. As others have said try getting a scrap yard and a bunker, those help a lot. Other than that...honestly I have no idea. Hit the ones you can do even if it's a low % you'll get lucky eventually and you can work your odds up from there.

Also, the XP quests aren't useless until the followers are max quality too. You can work greens to blue, and blues to purple. Higher quality means more traits and better odds.

want* not need

No one needs to do achievements.

Just do the Salvage Yard, I don't see your issue here.

You underestimate my compulsive need to complete collections and 100% this game...

So, I need is a Salvage Yard??
I am Horde so the Dwarven Bunker is not an option really. Is there a Horde alternative for this that you know of??
For the record, I don't NEED to do these achievements really, but I want to be able to when i finish with Legion content. It is just that every mission that I see that offers an iLvl increase, has an ILvl requirement that is higher than any of my followers have!!
Any way, even though I already thanked everyone in advance, Thanks again for the info!!

FWIW, you can buy armaments on the AH that will add +50 levels to both armor and weapons (Frozen Arms of a Hero) http://www.wowhead.com/item=128314/f...arms-of-a-hero.

Go for 100-400g on most servers, will let you quickly and easily gear up new alts (or returning mains).

[solinari6]

Can't you just buy the armor thingies directly now? At least on the alliance side, there's a vendor standing almost right next to the mission table that sells purple armor and weapon kits. Or did they remove those? 500g each if I recall

Oh yeah, these too. Will get followers up to 645 I think?

Two of those + the Frozen Arms will max a follower for around 1500g.

This is like opening a time capsule from 2015. Hilarious. 10/10 would read again.
