    25 followers with the "treasure hunter" trait

    Is it possilbe? Can every Follower get the treasure hunter trait (via trait rerolls)?

    Also is it worth it in terms of gold per day (with inn level 3 of course)?

    yes. It might take a while, but the inn gives you one a week, guaranteed. And yes, it is worth it in terms of easy gold.

    i dont know i never tried it but could be but you'd need lots of reroll trait tokens to have all 25 at such a thing, you'd have a better chance at winning the powerball than WoW's RNG.
    You can't take what ya can't see... *rolls d20* You rolled a natural 20* The skill of stealth is successful.

    Not really. 63 traits with 3 traits per follower (assuming an epic follower) 63/3 = 21 meaning you have a 1 in 21 shot of rerolling a treasure hunter trait.

    Can you? Sure. Do you need to? No.

    Most of my alts have between 11-13 hunters and can counter all missions pretty easily. You could use the other 12 for anything like scavengers, greasemonkeys, and the like.

    Yes it's possible, but it's significantly more profitable if you mix up your followers between Greasemonkeys and Scavengers in addition to Treasure Hunters.

    It's very possible and it's decent enough to have. Though with the nerfs to missions from a while back it's not as good as it once was. I mean if you have all of them capped on ilvl you may as well. Myself I went with a slight mix so I have a few Epic Mount, few Scavenger, and the rest are Treasure Hunter on my 'main.'

    This. There's no point having treasure hunters standing around not doing anything because you don't have enough gold missions.
    Main toon: Priest
    Alts: Rogue, Druid and Paladin plus many, many more.

    You'll want a good amount of epic mounts and scavengers, as well. If you pay attention to their abilities and reroll as necessary, you can cover literally every treasure mission type with all treasure hunter followers.

    If you're lucky you'll eventually get followers who have treasure hunter as well as epic mount and/or scavenger/greasemonkey, also.

    No it isn't worth it. Realistically there aren't enough treasure missions to occupy all 25 followers time. You probably only need 10-15, maybe not even that much.

    People have spoken. Try to get a combo of 10-12 TH with all counters at least once. Get 4-5 scavengers, cover as much counters as possible. Get the rest greasemonkeys if you're doing the SHITYARD

    Basically this. 25 Treasure hunters is completely unnecessary, especially if you have alts. You'll likely have 3-7 Treasure Hunting missions at any given time, reduced significantly if you have multiple alts.

    Having around 10 Treasure Hunters is sufficient. Then aim for getting 4-5 Scavengers, a few Greasemonkeys and ensure you have teams to clear the 675 Rare Missions (which isn't too hard.)

    I have 15-20 TH's, 5-8 Scavengers and 3-4 Greasemonkeys on all my characters. A good balance is the best option, but there's also no point in having followers that do not have any of these traits because some days you will get lucky and have enough gold, GR and oil missions to occupy all of them.

  14. #14
    It's kind of pointless, since you won't have gold quests to use them all efficiently.

    12-15 is more than enough.

    But yes, it's possible if you 'want to'. But useless.

  15. #15
    Yeah you could of course, and I wouldn't gamble I'd just recruit them from the inn. You definitely don't need that many though. I have 13 THs, 9 epic mounts and 6 scavengers and I can mindlessly spam pretty much all missions 100% super efficiently. Just make sure you have counters spread out properly.

    Also another tip is use your rolls on the stronger than usual followers like garona and blook till they are perfect.

    Yes, of course it "could" be done. But it's not a great idea. I'd say after 10-15 it looses it's value.

    Close but not exactly. You forgot few things:

    * you can only have 1 set of racial traits (ally followers can't roll horde racials) that excludes more traits
    * profession traits are mutually exclusive (if you rolled one then you can't roll another one on same character) that excludes more traits
    * some traits can only be acquired from "books" (Ogre Buddy etc.) that excludes even more traits

    If you only care about gold missions, go for it.
    If you want any value at all, mix them with scavengers.

    I have 6 scavengers and 8 THs who between them, Garrona, and Ormok can 100% every mission. The remaining followers are filler alts that i havent gotten around to rerolling. You will rarely see enough gold missions to make use of more than 8-10 TH followers in a single go.

  20. #20
    I have 12 TH and it's enough to counter every gold mission that pops up.

    Especially that the revisits at points in the day might only have 1 or 2 really low gold reward missions to do.
