Comprehensive guide to building up your Garrison

no SY?

Less you intend to raid, for pure gold making it sux.

[pmb]

I'm confused now. In your guide, you have SY listed in the gold making setup.

That changed with launch, those profession buildings have become too important, and SY moves ahead only if you raid with that alt.

Hey

My professions are Herb and Tailoring and I was wondering what other small buildings i should choose besides the tailoring building. And I was also wondering if It's worth replacing the barracks with the bunker so that I will receive procs on quest rewards? My choice for large building at 100 is a barracks and a bunker.

I was considering the salvage yard and one other small building and btw, what medium building would you recommend?

I'm a very casual raider and would like to get pretty solid gear from my garrison

[pmb]

Do you advise using the enchanting building for work orders, or selling the raw mats?

[Danshot]

what's more effective for getting resources? the trading post or the lumber mill? I'm starved on resources and level 3

small: SY + tailoring + enchanter's (till 100) then put scribe's
medium: TP + LM (replace LM with barn if you got alts who can unlock lvl 3 quickly)
large: racks + bunker (racks > bunker during leveling)

Use it, as i figured the prices are in your favor when you do WOs.

Use both till you got everything to lvl 3.

Mining/Engi who is only going to do LFR/BGs

So far I have barracks 2, lumber mill 2, engi works 2, salvage yard 2, herb/mining/fishing 2. trying to save for level 3 garrison, any suggestions on what I should use?

Was thinking maybe Engi/Salvage/Storehouse and not sure for medium or larger. Barracks is nice but the 1 hour debuff if/when the bodyguard dies is crappy. I play a feral druid if that helps as well.

small: SY + forge + tannery

Isen't it needed to upgrade followers?

Why do you need follower ilvl if you won't raid?

Casual PvE oriented warlock, and goblin. I want gold, items, and cool stuff. Please advice. And why should I keep barracks over War Mill(the thing that gives you better chance to get bonus items)

Denzily, thanks for all the work with this thread!

I have been reading things over for about 3 days now, and still cannot decide what do build for my 3rd Small Building. I'm a Death Knight with mining/eng. I will be raiding and am an altoholic, so I have most professions across my toons except Inscription.

Currently using SY/EW/ES. I'm not sure if I should switch the 3rd to Alch or keep it ES, or do something different. Any suggestions? Hoping to pick one that can make me some gold in produced mats I guess. Looking at the perks from any of the other small buildings, like blacksmith, they don't seem to provide me with much if I don't also have that profession.

Thanks!

enchater's is a bit useless at 100, get a forge.

[Juggzz]

Has anyone received anything but Iron Horde Scraps from the lvl 2 Bunker work orders? Just want to make sure it's not bugged.

[Bizerk]

You get upgrades too sometimes.

I have one question, I have recently dinged 100 and upgraded greater hall to lvl 3 and yet I can only place 1 additional large building, can't place small or medium one, what is wrong?

Thanks for all the work on this guide!

I have a question about this part:

--
Q: How does an altoholic get most out of their garrison?
A: Level a bunch of alts to 92, then you will unlock mine and lvl 2 garrison. Build barracks, LM, 2 profession buildings. Make sure to fill all the LM work orders on all alts. Afterwords rush you main to 100. In main's garrison make trading post + barn, barracks + stables, salvage yard + 2 prof buildings. Next step is getting alts to 96 to unlock herb garden and salvage yard. Keep filling all possible work orders and spam missions. Final part is getting alts to 100. When you do an alts garrison needs to help you with the following getting all lvl 3 blueprints.
In the end refer to the above mentioned end game build order for altoholics.
--


On my alts, should I be:

- doing missions? (this costs Garrison resources), or should I only do that on my main?

- doing work orders? Or sending mats to each alt that can use it (ore to the blacksmith and engineer, herbs to the alcehmist...etc). If an alt has alchemy for example, should it still do mine work orders or send ore/stone to a diff alt? Or should they all be doing work orders 24/7?



Thanks!
