Doing 11 garrisons...

[Deleted]

Two lvl 3 garrisons - no more, its already too much for me to enjoy ~~

btw did anyone know if exist some addon that will show when missions on another chars will end?

I'm at 6 myself , got two rank 3 garrison and the rest is still rank 2, even one of my 100s is rank 2 but thats because he was one of the first 100s I leveled up. It's really easy to get rank 3 when your character has been garrison enabled for a while because of the constant ressource piling up.

3 Words: Barn. Level. Three. I'd rather kill myself than keep doing that after the raids come open.

Yea, I am in the process of leveling up an alt with skinning so I can demolish the barn. That is the most annoying building ever. Certainly not building more of them on the alts.

3 garrison lvl3
8 garrison lvl2

I do missions only on my main and the alt i like the most. Mining, herb, daily profession CDs, workorders on the rest takes like 60 min/day. Not so bad, but i allready start to hate the mine.

Lol do u people sleep? I have 1 nearly maxed garrison and another mostly level 2 and I play plenty. 6+ garrisons at this point is ridiculous.

[Zantera]

I have 2 chars at 100 and 2 I'm slowly leveling, 1 at 94 and 1 at 92. So 4 garrisons. So far it's working pretty good, but I can easily see this becoming a problem later on. I try to view missions as optional though, I want to do them badly on my main, and main-alt, but every other char is optional, and only if I feel like it. I can see the Mine/Herb Garden becoming a more frustrating thing though, even if it's daily. A level 3 mine is actually pretty darn slow clearing, imagine 11 of them.

2 Lvl 100 with lvl 3 garrison, and lvl 2 barn.
1 lvl 96 with lvl 2 garrison and herb garden.
4 lvl 92s with lvl 2 garrison.

Takes about one hour with all mines, proff cds and herb garden. Just doing missions when I drop by the charrs that are not level 100.

Somehow my lvl 92 rogue have 3 lvl 98 followers.(that's the only 3 followers she got) so I guess I'm logging her alot..

Sounds like a whole mini game in itself, you could spend all night in Garrisons.

Well, I have few T1-T2 Garrisons on my Alts (about 9 or 10) and a T3 one with my Main. Its pretty crazy. But I still think the Herb-Garden should unlock a bit earlier. Just to make it a bit less unfair for the Professions that need Herbs - other than Ones with Ore.

I have one Garrison. No more, because that is enough for me (as in: really can't be bothered to to do more than that).

But grats on being crazy, I guess?

[Dunefire]

Got my main to 100 by sun after launch, workinh on my hunter in spits and spurts, 92 currently, have the other 9 alts doing the missions and gathering resources atm, just the 20 or so quests in with qiana and the 2 awarded from the intro missions.

I dont get it, why have so many workers in your mine if you still have to mine everything yourself?

[goblingirl]

I have five garrisons atm. One three and the rest are level two. Yes, I am already tired of rotating through all my toons 2-3 times a day to keep follower missions going.

I was already logging into each toon daily to do crafting cooldowns in MoP, so that's no change. The herbing/mining takes some time. I only do the fishing daily on my main right now, and I'm not yet doing the pet battle daily on any character, I care less about that than the rest of the garrison so pet battle dailies will wait until I am a little more bored than right now.

Work orders are not really a problem, since you can stack 14 of them up in a t2 garrison or 21/t3 you really can just refresh that queue once per day. But follower missions take a LOT of tending to, at least while you are leveling the followers. Addons like Master Plan help but it's still too time consuming.

How many epics items from salvaging have you gotten is the real question.

None, yet. The rate of return for salvage boxes from missions is HIGHLY variable. In my experiment: two toons got a t3 garrison the same day. Both immediately built a salvage yard. Both run missions, refreshing them 3x a day. The first toon reached 100 boxes to unlock the t3 salvage yard in just 5 days. The second toon still has 10 more boxes to go, after 8 days.

On top of that, the chance that you'll get something from the box - IF you get a box - is pretty low, too. Across all the boxes I have opened on my toons, about 20 percent of them contain nothing, not even a gray trash vendor item. Muffinus tweeted that all salvage boxes should contain something, and if they do not it is a bug, so yeah I wish they'd fix that. My guess is that one particular loot pool that the salvage boxes pull from is broken, so if your box tries to pull from that category, you get nada.

I have seen plenty of greens of all levels, lots of gray items, lots of follower armor/weapons enhancements, and occasionally some raw crafting mats (herbs, fur, leather scraps most commonly). But no epics yet.

I'm working 4 atm, 2 are at max and the other 2 are at the second level. I'm probably gonna abandon all but the best one or two once prices for the crafted goods have completely crashed.

I haven't seen even half of that. I've been really feeling like the salvage yard is a complete waste. I'd say 80% of the time I get vendor trash, 10% of the time I'll get herbs or ore, and the other 10% will be empty. Still haven't gotten any gear whatsoever or follower upgrades.

I have garrisons on a couple of alts. It's pretty easy to get things going so that your garrison is level 2, if you're Alliance all you need to do is Yrel's quest chain in SMV until you escort her out of the orc camp. If you have rested xp you'll probably be level 91 at that point; if it's a newly leveled or boosted toon then it's feasible to have a level 2 garrison at level 90.

That being said I think you get more bang for your buck by focusing on your main's garrison and just using alts for achievements/profs. It's not all that time consuming once the garrison is set up for an alt.

[Stormspark]

I plan on getting all my alts to level 96 so they can have the mine and herb garden, and just doing those on them (that takes maybe 2 minutes/toon). The barn on my main gives me more than enough leather.

[KevyB]

Not being able to have a "main" garrison is fucking bullshit, it gets too tedious after lvling a 3rd alt to even bother.
