Sounds like you trade material for material or gold for material with npcs and send your followers to deliver stuff to native villages maybe escort trader back home missions.

Comment by Beetle01

This is one of the buildings that will be introduced with the Garrison in Warlords of Draenor expansion pack. This is the first level of 3, with 2 upgrades available.

This will very useful for all players, and has the following abilities for each level:
Level 1: Opens a new trading route and grants access to new trading missions.
Level 2: Opens an additional trade route.
Level 3: Unlocks Specializations.
This can only be placed on a medium lot.

Other buildings that can be placed on a medium lot include:
Lunarfall Inn / Frostwall Tavern Level 1
Lumber Mill Level 1
Barn Level 3

Comment by Sixpac

Makes me wonder: Do we get exclusive access to Laughing Skull set transmogs when we upgrade this to level 3?

Comment by MrLathus

Probably the first medium building you want to build plus upgrade as it looks to have the most uses...but we will see come Nov.

Comment by Teryx

Lets you trade 5 of a daily random reagent for 20 Garrison Resources. 4 hours cooldown, meaning you can get maximum 840 Garrison Resources though this channel per week. This is the same as for a Lumber Mill Level 1, but with the Mill you can potentially ingrease the yield if you get Phylarch the Evergreen.

Spotted Talgaiir the Ironrender there, not sure if he's the only vendor there or if there's a rotation.

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Now 30 Garrison Resources per work order, making it better than Lumber Mill for your first medium building for garrison resource generation (as long as you have the gold to buy the materials for the work order or the ability to obtain them in the world).

The Lumber Mill's work orders increase from 20 to 30 Garrison Resources once you have unlocked level 3 Lumber Mill and have Phylarch the Evergreen assigned to it.

(TP level 1/2/3 = 1260 GR per week)
(LM level 1/2 = 840 GR per week)
(LM level 3 with follower = 1260 GR per week)

Comment by Kakapenka

Work orders yield 30xGarrison Resources at the moment
the resident trader on all my alts yesterday was Krixel Pinchwhistle and today is Talgaiir the Ironrender

here are the npcs i found so far:

Krixel Pinchwhistle
Pyxni Pennypocket
Trader Yula
Talgaiir the Ironrender
Tradesman Portanuus

I suspect they all have different pricing for different categories of mats. Testing is underway.

The prices on your Trader varies from day to day. I'll update this post with the different values based on the current work order available.

Comment by decembre

If you have a lot of gold to burn, you can convert your gold into Garrison Resources with a Trading Post Level 1 (or higher).

Buy cheap mats on the auction house (be quick as it clears out fast!), and use work orders to trade them for 30 Garrison Resources. It changes per day, so have room to bank surplus as you wait for a trade to be available.

Comment by masterc34

Here is a list of vendors that show up at the post with the best for each area.

Best for Fish/Leather: Ribchewer (Horde), Krixel Pinchwhistle (Horde), Krixel Pinchwhistle (Alliance) and Talgaiir the Ironrender (Alliance) with the fishing items and Raw Beast Hide at 20 Garrison Resources.
Best for Ore: Trader Yula (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.
Best for Herbs: Pyxni Pennypocket (Horde) and Pyxni Pennypocket (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.
Best for Meat: Krixel Pinchwhistle (Horde) Krixel Pinchwhistle (Alliance) with the Meat items at 20 and 25 Garrison Resources.
Best for Enchanting/Cloth: Pyxni Pennypocket (Horde) and Pyxni Pennypocket (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.
~~Best for Chameleon Lotus: Tradesman Portanuus (Alliance) at 20 Garrison Resources.~~

This is the List of all possible vendors:

Horde:
Ribchewer: Fish / Leather 20xGarrison Resources
Pyxni Pennypocket: Herbs / Draenic Dust 20xGarrison Resources
Krixel Pinchwhistle: Meats/ Fish 20x and 25xGarrison Resources
Tai'tasi: 30xGarrison Resources all items except gold packs
Elder Surehide: Ore / Sumptuous Fur 20xGarrison Resources

Alliance:
Krixel Pinchwhistle: Meats/ Fish 20x and 25x Garrison Resources
Pyxni Pennypocket: Herbs / Draenic Dust 20xGarrison Resources
Trader Yula: Ore / Sumptuous Fur 20xGarrison Resources
Talgaiir the Ironrender: Fish / Raw Beast Hide 20xGarrison Resources
Tradesman Portanuus: ~~Chameleon Lotus 20xGarrison Resources~~

All work orders are a daily random item (It is possible for the same item two+ days in a row, but I have not seen it yet.) and give out the same amount of Garrison Resources per work order(30x).

Vendors and work orders can be different every day.

Edit:
here is a list of WO/ V over 2 weeks. To verify any type of pattern.
11/30/14 -----work order: Blackrock Ore -----Vendor: Krixel Pinchwhistle
12/1/14 ------work order: Draenic Dust -----Vendor: Trader Yula
12/2/14 ------work order: Gorgrond Flytrap -----Vendor: Krixel Pinchwhistle
12/3/14 -------work order: Talador Orchid -----Vendor: Pyxni Pennypocket

ATENTION!
You can replace this building with something else and you will keep your rep with laughing skull and you can use helms for transmog, pet, mount etc. But you cant buy them anymore until you build Trading post lvl2 again.

Comment by stickshift

Is the vendor/mats the same for all players on a given day?

I know that it is for my characters, but I noticed an Auction House spike in Gorgrond Flytrap today (which is also the trader currency today) and wondered if that reflected it.

Xururuca asked this question first in a reply to Teryx's post but it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Comment by Bandeeto

Even though you can build the Level 2 Trading Post by 92 with Outpost Building Assembly Notes. You can't unlock the quest for the Auctioneer until 96. Was a little bit of a disappointment for me.
