Currently my garrison is set up as follows:
Lvl 3 War Mill
Lvl 2 Barracks
Lvl 3 Lumber Mill
Lvl 2 Inn
Lvl 3 Tannery
Lvl 2 Alchemy Lab
Lvl 2 Storehouse
I'm a leather worker and am finding it tedious to collect the hides needed for work orders and daily cooldowns. Generally I'll go spend a couple of hours and collect about 200 to fill up my 21 work orders and have 2-3 days worth of the daily cooldowns. Rinse. Repeat.
I'm thinking of replacing the inn with a barn so I can trap beasts for leather, which will require a bit more ramp up time, but overall less farming, and after awhile, a consistent source of savage blood for upgrades. I'm about halfway through the meta to upgrade to the lvl 3 Inn and I'm not sure exactly how profitable the treasure missions are. Don't really care too much about the toys/flavor items or the dailies (mostly ignored).
I guess my main question would be this: Are the treasure hunter missions from the inn more or less valuable than the potential for hides/savage blood from the barn?
