Does more ilvl 645 followers mean more ilvl 645 missions?

[willemh]

Also just to be clear, you need 2 645 followers to snapshot your raid progress and unlock Highmaul with an appropriate loot reward, you have to full clear a tier (full normal, full heroic, or full Mythic) to advance to the next level. As soon as i boosted my 2nd 645, that's what made Highmaul pop into my log.

This information is false and people keep repeating it for some reason. If you have 2 followers at 645 and all other followers 630 or lower your highmaul mission wont appear. I had 2 645 followers for over a week without spawning the highmaul mission, 30 seconds after I upgraded my 3rd 645 follower I got the mission. For a friend of me the highmaul mission only appaeared when he had 2 645 followers and made his 3rd followers 638. Anyway, the trigger is somewhere between your 2nd and 3rd follower getting 645, just 2 645 followers wont do.

I dont think they nerfed the salvage yard... im getting way too many upgrades, i have full 28 slot bag... ive got 6 goredrenched armors and weapons, plenty more 630 and 615 and at least 10+ epic +9 upgrades...
I could do 3-4 ilvl 645 missions at once if i could have them :P i have maybe 3-4 out of 25 followers at ilvl600, and 2-3 are at 615, rest are 630+ and the only reason they are not all 645 is because i get waaaaaaay to many armor upgrades and very few for weapons (at least those 3/6/9 ones... almost all have at least 615wpn and 645 armor), so im mostly waiting to upgrade weapons high enough to get 645 ilvl... almost all armors are 645 already, even went to 655 on armor, just so i have to get only 635 for weapon!

I swear that out of 10 upgrades, 8 are for armor... that is the only thing slowing me down

[Archimand]

I have 3 ilvl 645 followers now, and a bunch of upgrade items and I was wondering... Will bringing more followers to ilvl 645 cause more 645 ilvl missions to spawn or am I better of just holding my items until I see what 645 missions spawn so that I can upgrade the right followers for those missions?

you misunderstanding somthing, for 645 gear u need 630 followers and 3 is enough, you dont get more with more followers.


for 655 gear u need 3 followers with 645 gear and it spawn once every 14 days

Seems like you are the one misunderstanding something... OP is perfectly right in what he is saying... and OP title is perfectly clear.

The answer to the op is... no, 645ilvl missions spawn once every 2 weeks... you wont get more with more followers... as of now only 645ilvl missions are Highmaul Raid missions... 4 versions(different bosses and threats) per difficulty

They are no longer anecdotes since they have been published.

I have got Salvage Yard Level II, and I only get 1 green bag per six or seven missions completed. I have never gotten anything better than gray vendor trash either, so it seems to me that you are BS ppl here.

I got salvage yard 3 and i get box every 2-3 missions, and so far ive got 2 ilvl665 epics from it (one being copeland clarity, expensive) and 3 low level epics i sold for 5k or so each (for transmog i guess)... and at least 25 blue items all level ranges... i went from 80k to 330k gold just from selling boe epics

And even before i got lvl3 ive got couple of epic upgrades and epic goredrenched weapons and armors from it. And im not the only one
Also, at lvl2 you wont get anything other than vendor trash + follower ilvl items or upgrades, as lvl2 CANNOT reward you with player items... only lvl 3 can

[Asuras]

I've been trying to get the mission that provide 645 ilvl gear. Which I thought required a 630 follower. I now have 4 645 followers and 2 630 followers. I have yet to get a mission that gives a mission with those loot tokens that turn into 645 ilvl gear.

[Gravityx]

The only 645 mission is Highmaul, which has a 2.5 week cooldown. I would advise to wait until the next Highmaul pops then upgrade as needed to be able to clear it.

Are you sure its a full clear? Ive never got a clear answer on this? Ex. If you skip optional bosses and kill Imperator on heroic, is that enough to unlock Mythic gear in your mission?

[rijn dael]

Just a warning - we cleared on flex, then got halfway through on heroic and someone decided to take the risk for science. They leveled their second follower to 645, and instantly got a 655 mission (clearly, they should have at least got heroic ilvl, and since they had heroic kills we hoped they would get mythic).

I am guessing it must update at end of week, but in any case, don't be in a rush still.

[rijn dael]

I'm pretty sure you need all of the achieves (for killing the bosses) associated with the difficulty in order to unlock the next tier of gear for the 645 missions.

I can guarentee that isn't enough (see above) - it might be that it calculates the 'progression' during the weekly update/reset, or some other criteria, but we definitely cleared out 'normal', and part of heroic and then had someone activate after that point, and they still got 655.

I did a 630 mission from which I get an epic staff (651 Warforged). Does this share a cooldown with the 645 missions? With two followers at 645+, I'm not getting anything so far.

Try to put a third follower to 633+ ... and see if you get it then.

How can you claim that the information was false and that your's is correct? You see, I upped a 2nd follower to 645 ilvl (the rest being 630 and under) checked back 30mins later and behold 645 ilvl mission for highmaul appeared. What do you have to say about that?

[Illiterate]

No they are in different brackets. I finished a 645 for a highmaul belt then got a 630 for a 645 necklace 1-2 days later.

[Deleted]

Seems like highmaul raid mission is on 2 week cooldown, but the cooldown starts the moment you get the mission! And i would guess that it expires after 2 weeks too! Ive finished my first one maybe 4-5 days ago(had it on the list for 10 days or so), and yesterday i already got my 2nd highmaul raid mission. So seems it pays of to unlock it asap, get it in the list, then try finishing before it expires and then 2nd one you get as soon as 2 weeks is done :P

[Wildtree]

Some people got crazy RNG... I know someone in my guild got 6 of those instant ilvl 645 items >_<

Still sounds exaggerated, even with being lucky...
You definitely need Salvage Yard, and ideally Bunker at level 3.. That's a damn lotta resources. Something else will be way behind therefore. And then still, the rng would really have to be insanely in their favor.

Eh all these I have gotten 30 645 weapon tokens in a day nonsense stories are just that. Just like when you call someone out in trade chat for asking some ridiculous price for something and they say "No man I sold 10 of them yesterday for 80k"

If people were getting that many follower ilvl boosters it would have been nerfed. Just ignore the people lying to boost their ego.

I confirm this.... SY at level 2 yields very little rewards. Few boxes, and the content of them is meh..
It gets a lot better when you have it at level 3. More boxes, and better content. Still, the followers gear is rather fewer items.. The only way to really boost it, would be the bunker.. But, that is a large building.. Means.... Level 2 = 900 resources... Level 3 = 1200 resources. And.... The work orders costing resources.
Now if we consider how long we have the expansion.. Your garrison gives you 144 resources per day. You can get another 120 resources from either Lumber mill and/or Trading Post.
I really don't know where all these resources should come from to fund that spending of resources...
The treasures and rares won't cut it either.
You will have to fully concentrate on missions and followers in order to have an entire army.. Like that one claim with 8 followers at 655, and a bunch more at 645.... I call BS on that.
