I recently resumed playing Legion and got to AK40 very quickly which at least makes AP less of an annoyance.
But my followers/companions in the Class Order Hall are rather underdeveloped, both in "quality" and in itemlvl.
I honestly do not find it fun to bother with champion gear ilvl or with constantly spamming missions every day for champion exp.
And the hardest missions i have read about on wowhead seem to award just basic stuff like AP or other forms of currency/stuff that can easily be obtained through other means...
So i wanted to ask what are the most significant and important rewards that the toughest class hall companion missions can offer?
Do you consider it mandatory to fully develop the class hall companions so they can do the hardest missions?
