The way that garrisons work right now on the Beta (and hopefully sitll on live when you read this) is that all Level 2 blueprints are unlocked by the time you hit lvl 100 and upgrade to Tier 3 garrison.

Now let's say you haven't done ANY workorder what so ever, and you want your T3 small buildings ASAP.
Well, good news! This achievement (if run at theoretical max speed) takes you less than 3 days of active input!

Dont get me wrong, even at max speed this achi takes 7 DAYS to complete, because of the time a work order takes to complete.

Let's do the math below:

First off you'll want to get yourself

A T1 or above Storehouse
A T2 Alchemy Lab
A T2 Forge
A T2 Barn
A T2 Lumber Mill
A T2 Mine
A T2 Herb Garden

Now the goal is to pump out as many workorders as possible, with the least amount of daily input. Ofcourse you can have all of the above at T1, but that'll mean you'll have to go back and put in materials more often. Since that would end up being too many variables, were not gonna calculate that for now.

Now the above setup gives us 6x 19 workorders (T2=14 + Storehouse = extra 5 each). This means that, provided you have the materials required, you only have to spend time on this achi every 76h (19 workorders taking 4h to complete each).

Now Profession-wise what do you need? Well kids, heres the bad news: T1 or T2 doesn't even matter, if you're not running with Mining and Herbalism, this achievement will take on average 15% longer to achieve. Sadface.jpg

"Why" you ask? Well because both the mine and the herb garden run on soulbound materials gained from said profession, Draenic stone and Draenic seeds, respectively.

This is why I advise you to use this low daily-input method on your gathering alt, provided you have one.
For the time being, lets say you have an alt with this specific profession setup.

What you're gonna wanna do is store up 41-42 workorders for each of these buildings. (41.66 (repeating ofcourse) to be exact, so 4x 42, 2x 41 if you really wanna do the least amount of gathering needed).

I warned you, this is a crapton of materials to get, but its doable in a day if you're crazy enough to do so.
What will you need?

After You aquired this veritable heap of resources, you chuck as many of em into their respective buildings.
Go out, play with kittens or do productive work for 76hours, come back, stuff everything again.
Go follow a 76h piano class, come back Again, plug the last bits; and wait for the final less-than-a-day to collect your shiny new T3 small building permit!

Congrats, you've reached the end of this post!
If you spot a mistake, by all means let me know :)

On a sidenote: The forge and alchemy lab can be substituted by any other T2 profession building, but given the large amount of ores and herbs you'll have to collect, you might aswell use these. We're all about efficiency, remember?

**Important note as of 11/18/14**

Tracking this achievement is bugged at the moment. This counts all work orders account wide including your alts, but when you look at the achivment it will only show the number of completed work orders that character (if they have a lower work order total number) but the total on your main will go up.

Example: Work order total on my main is 105. Logged over to an alt. Collected 3 work orders my alts work order total went up to 6, but when I logged back on my main the total work orders went up to 108.

I do not see this acm under the Buildings tab.

Since the required achievement doesn't show up in the Achievements before you complete the first one, here is a command so you can track your progress from the get go.

/run AddTrackedAchievement(9406)

Comment by Alcest

So besides more recipes/WOs, do the L3 buildings actually do anything?

For example, I login daily so more work orders is literally useless to me because a L2 building has 14 orders, which is 56 hours (2d, 8h). In addition, I use a Tailoring station to boost my Tailoring and an Engineering plot to let me craft the fun things, but I don't care for the L3 recipes. So, unless the work orders actually get a higher yield, this is just a waste of resources, right?

Comment by rogerdaives

I have tested this & it holds true at the moment:

I don't know if it's a bug or not:

Your alts can't contribute on toward this achievement, you have to get it on ONE of your characters and it opens up level 3 blueprints for your account.
~~Mining & Herb garden work orders doesn't count toward this achievement~~
Any medium & small building work order count: I've check half of small ones, Lumber Mill & Barn for this
Looting the completed order (every 4 hours) does count, not placing it

So if you want to do it on one character, & you rush to lvl 100, And didn't do any work order til now:
3 small building (any profession building a.k.a NOT salvage or Storehouse)
2 medium building (Lumber Mill & Barn)

250 / (5 building * 6 work order a day) = 250/30, It takes 8 days & 8 hours to complete this achievement on one character.

EDIT: In a Q&A in reddit, they admitted "mining/herb not doesn't counting toward the achievement" to be a bug that they are trying to fix ASAP.
EDIT2: In a patch on december 8th, they fixed the issue, but a realm restart is needed.
Work orders for the following Horde buildings (Mine, Herb Garden, Goblin Workshop, War Mill, and Trading Post) should now correctly contribute credit towards the achievement.

I assume this is a bug, but I can 100% confirm that there is a bug, somehow involving Level 3 buildings. I've been doing this every single day since launch, making sure there is always something queued, and the last few days have noticed that I've been getting less credit than I should be.

2 Orders available in each of the following buildings as of 8am EST this morning (11/28/14):

Level 2 Barn
Level 3 Mine
Level 3 Herb
Level 2 Enchanting
Level 3 War Mill
Level 2 Alchemy

After picking up all 12, was only given credit for 6, went from 225 completed to 231. Have looked on the forums and found nothing. Here's hoping that they fix this soon.

If I'm overlooking something, great, I'm an idiot, but the achievement only says "Work Orders", which is exactly what I am doing. Don't see why certain buildings wouldn't count.

Comment by Branflak

I have this achievement completed, but I don't think I got the blueprints. Is there a vendor I need to go too? Is this a bug or am I just missing something?

Comment by lpm555

I believe these level 3 blueprints only show up once you have upgraded your garrison to level 3. I just completed the Working More Orders quest and reached level 100 but the level 3 plans are nowhere to be found. I am currently accumulating resources for the 2000 needed to get the 3rd level garrison. I will update this once I confirm the plans do show up at that point.

Comment by codyws

The reason it seems to count less is that it counts every time you pick up items from work orders, NOT THE AMOUNT OF ITEMS PICKED UP, so this means to get the results from the comments above, you would need to pick up from all of your buildings every x number of hours for however many days.

Comment by tokeruwolf

GET THIS SUPER FAST!
From changing things around, then doing it to see, i have found this trick to get this achievement faster!
Like most people who are getting the mats together for their places then waiting, this trick lets you do this for ALL OF THEM.

1:You want to build your places, barn, alchemy lab, enchanting, ect.. and fill them for work orders.
2:Now, go back to your architect table and build over these with something else, Engineering, Leatherworking, ect..
3:Fill these with work orders. Now again, build over these. with the last places.
4:Wait the time for these to complete. and pick up your shipment.
5:Now go back to the Architect table and rebuild your first places, barn, alchemy lab, ect. and they will also have the work orders all done, even though they werent built and you can do this with ALL OF THEM!
So you get the work orders from EVERY place that gives them! half the time it takes to get this achi!

Comment by ljgard

pretty sure this achievement is buggged. just finished 4 work orders, count didn't increase at all. fix it please Blizzard

Comment by mamapapaxp

Don't know about this achieve being bugged but something is definitely amiss:

Just got the achievement, meaning that (however it was achieved) I must have completed at least 250 work orders, and yet further down in the Achievements dialog (under Garrisons > Buildings) is the next achievement waiting to be reached: Working Many Orders.

Clicking on it shows the progress of this achievement... which currently shows 212/750 work orders completed...

Comment by MrMajeq

The only bugged thing is just achievement counter.
In my case it was only counting orders from profession building but overall it also was secretly counting orders from mines or herb garden.

Finally I completed this achievement with 110/250 after picking up mines order.
