Garrison Basics

You have access to a variety of buildings in your garrison that grants you powerful benefits, but you have limited space. Choose wisely!

Your Garrison hubs are located in Frostfire Ridge (Frostwall) for the Horde and Shadowmoon Valley (Lunarfall) for the Alliance.

You cannot move your Garrison, but as you quest in different zones, you can build outposts. These give you zone-wide perks and special followers.

With a Garrison, you can access up to three profession buildings. If you do not have a profession, you can have an NPC associated with a Garrison building craft you most, but not all, Draenor recipes, including some epics. Learn more about the synergy between Professions and Garrisons with our guide.

You can recruit followers to your Garrison, who can go on missions that have dungeon or entry-level raid loot as rewards.

To replace Garrison Buildings, simply go to the Architect's Table, and drag a new building onto an occupied slot.

Leveling Your Garrison

Level 1: One small and one large plot. You get your Level 1 Garrison just by doing initial questing. Read about those initial quests here.

Level 2: Two small, one medium, one large, Herb Garden Level 1, Fishing Shack Level 1, Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 1 also unlocked. You can upgrade your Garrison to Level 2 on completion of the questlines culminating Bigger is Better/Bigger is Better.

Level 3: Three small, two medium, two large. You can upgrade your Garrison to level 3 at level 40 for 0 Garrison Resources and . Since this can be a daunting amount of resources for a new level 40, learn how to get resources with our guide.

Return to Table of ContentsGarrison Outpostsnot

The buildings you choose for your Outpost in each zone will grant you unique buffs in that particular zone. Many quest chains reward followers as well.

Gorgrond, Nagrand, Spires of Arak, and Talador have two unique building choices. You can have all four outposts active at once across zones.

There are eight potential outpost themes and the Alliance and Horde have different artwork.

You can later switch an outpost in a zone, at level 40. At launch, you could not go back and get rewards from the alternate outpost, but after December 11th hotfixes, you can grab alternate followers from outpost questlines. In 6.1, you can purchase the alternate followers for from your Garrison without having to rebuild the outpost.

Completing an Outpost-related questline in a zone will give you a token that you can turn in for a free Level 2 Blueprint.

Thank you so much for this guide really gave me an in depth look at the new garrison buildings I love the looks of the horde camps can't wait for it

Comment by UlarnekIronclaw

So, the Armory is completely and unequivocally required to all raiders?

Comment by Maffyx

This is a really great guide! Still getting into it and learning the details. I however wanted to point out a small error in the Other Buildings section, the Pet Menagerie has its second level perk listed as a repeat of the first perk. I was just wondering what the second perk actually is! Thanks in advance!

Here is a link for a quick reference.

Comment by 1140316

So the garrison stables just made all those people that got a sky golem for herbing contemplate a chute-less skydive lmao

Comment by KiritaWindwalker

As I read this guide and others... I get the feeling that a garrison is going to be Account wide and not character specific... I really hope its not account wide... ><;

Anyone happened to see something saying if it IS or ISNT account wide? (Meaning that one garrison for your whole account, or at least server)

(I understand certain perks are spread over your whole account, that's half the reason i'm suddenly wondering!)

Thank you in advance for answering! I cant be the only person wondering! <3

Comment by DaltonImperial

Several Qs on Follower/Garrison Missions:

1- Can followers fail missions? The guide suggests some followers can get a "greater reward" depending on abilities, but would sending a different follower result in the mission failing/the follower dying?

2- Is there a cap (beyond not having any followers left) on how many missions can be active?

3- Does completing a garrison mission make it more likely to get another one and/or will you not be able to get new missions until earlier ones are completed?

Comment by Vindictae

It'll be interesting, for sure.
But... Reins of the Dark War Talbuk as a reward? Seriously? I had it on like...six characters, before mounts were account wide. Not exactly hard to get these days, if you have friends with opposing faction characters.

Comment by DarkLimpan

Nice post!

One thing I would like to see: How we acquire these level 1-2 blueprints. Which questline and/or activity we must do to unlock them, ect.

Comment by clark2005

How do you visit friends garrions? Anyone know? My hubby and I were in a party but we couldn't figure it out.

Comment by Drakkul

Who can see your outpost just you? Or anyone by invite etc?

Comment by Tritox

Here are the needed reagents for each Small building work orders:

Placing an Alchemy work order in Alchemy Lab requires 5x Frostweed.
Placing a Blacksmithing work order in The Forge requires 5x True Iron Ore.
Placing an Enchanting work order in Enchanter's Study requires 5x Draenic Dust.
Placing an Engineering work order in Engineering Works requires 2x Blackrock Ore and 2x True Iron Ore.
Placing an Inscription work order in Scribe's Quarters requires 2x Cerulean Pigment.
Placing a Jewelcrafting work order in Gem Boutique requires 5x Blackrock Ore.
Placing a Leatherworking work order in The Tannery requires 5x Raw Beast Hide.
Placing a Tailoring work order in Tailoring Emporium: requires 5x Sumptuous Fur.

Comment by Thebe2

So do you pick the small building to supply your profession, or pick one to supply a profession you don't have? i.e. Does an alchemist build an alchemy lab, or a gem boutique?

Comment by Pyroswordsman

So I just noticed that on the beta, you can mine from your mineral nodes in the mine and harvest the plants in your garden even if you do not have mining or herbalism. Not sure if this will remain this way, but I hope so. The herbs and mineral nodes do not show up on your map if you do not have the corresponding profession, but you can still harvest/mine them.

Comment by 655005

for the horde:
if you want to unlock your garrison lvl 2
(the unlock says frostfire ridge quest progress or character lvl 93)
to do this before lvl 93...

you have to complete the Ga'nar quest chain which starts with Honor Has Its Rewards

Comment by Lupin3rd

Does the level of the follower change the number of goodies i get from each work order or not?
i mean , if i put a lev 90 follower with alchemist trait into an alchemist lab, do i get the same materials i will get if i put a lev 100 follower with alchemist trait into the same building?

Comment by Emmaleah

Two things I think need added to the guide.
Upon reaching level 100 Gazlowe (horde) offers the quest My Own Fortress which allows you to upgrade to level 3 garrison.

The menagerie isn't available until you have a level 3 garrison and complete the quest Pets versus Pests

.

Comment by Reckish

To upgrade your garrison to level 2 (at least for herbalist/miners who can't build a 3rd small plot profession building at garrison level 1 but possibly for everyone), you just need to build your barracks, and complete the questlines up to the Twilight Glade quest Bigger is Better.

Comment by 1389250

I personally love the idea of the garrison, however I always pictured my Horde "house" in a lush forest or at least in a green area.
I am a hunter after all, the forest is my home!
The fact that I'm stuck in a frozen waste land is the only down side to me

Comment by 1383209

Alot of info here! :) If you just want the quick solution as what to build for leveling ang raiding pve:

Small: Salvage Yard Level 3,Enchanter's Study Level 3 (build while leveling, replace with ur own 2 profs at 100),
Medium: Lumber Mill Level 3, Trading Post Level 3
Large:Barracks Level 3, Gnomish Gearworks / Goblin Workshop Level 3

Why do I say this? Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo5QmcGw2Ks

Comment by 1281168

Awesome guide! :)

Comment by magus424

The level 2 info is wrong. You just have to finish a certain questline, level 92 is not required.

Comment by Riiff

Great guide! Loving the garrison concept in WoD

Comment by PreyingDantis

Did garrison turn-in quests for profession catch-up not make it past beta? Can't seem to find them on live. Clarification requested!

Comment by piehead

For those wondering where to buy your blueprints look no further!
If you goto your capital city for Horde you can buy it for a special item that you get from questing Torgg Flexington.
But if you want to spend gold as a Horde goto your garrison and look for Rezlak.
As alliance its similar but different NPC's of course.
Kinkade Jakobs For special item currency in the Capital City. And then the gold vendor at Sparz Boltwist. The gold vendors for both Alliance and Horde are right next to your architect table. A Goblin or Gnome. Cheers and good luck!

Note that the items you get from quests can differ, there are two different types Outpost Building Assembly Notes which are used to buy things like Garrison Blueprint: Salvage Yard, Level 2 or Garrison Blueprint: Frostwall Tavern, Level 2. While the other one Comprehensive Outpost Construction Guide can be used to get things like Garrison Blueprint: Spirit Lodge, Level 2 or Garrison Blueprint: Mage Tower, Level 2. But if you plan on just spending gold it can cost either, 750g, 1,000g, or even up to 1,500g. I hope this helps!

Comment by 1401595

not sure how many people are aware of the fact you can get ALOT of resources and boost your garrison in a short period of time by farming the rares and treasures(using the maps purchased to show treasures on your map). hope this helps:)

Comment by LeLORD

I have a question. when i upgrade a garrison to level 2 or three, does it do 14 and 21 orders per day or does it only increase the capacity

Comment by 1356564

I love this guide.

Comment by jjoren

Very nice guide!

Comment by 526740

In order to get the Garrison Buddies achievment both parties need to have a level 2 town hall. Could not find this tidbit anywhere and now i know, also it may be a little known fact, you can mine and herb in your garrison WITHOUT having said skill.

Comment by perculia

Just wanted to say thanks for all the support on this guide, it is one of the most popular launch ones :)

I've made some tweaks to the guide for clarity as I releveled to 100 and also integrated the content summaries better with the in-depth guides we made for launch.

Comment by Faolain

The "Profession Buildings From the Garrison" links to mounts from garrisons instead. I doubt this is intended :O

Comment by Shubi

Improve your work orders in Forge (for use by blacksmiths)

--> Blacksmithing Can reduce your durability damage and increase work order output when assigned to the Forge.
A follower with this trait can be assigned to work in the level 2 or higher Forge.

When working in the building, the building's work order yield is increased (affected by the follower level) and you are allowed the use of two special buffs which are gained by talking to the working follower:

Song of the Anvil- No weapon or armor durability loss from use for four hours
Solace of the Forge - A chance to summon Guardian of the Forge to help you in combat while Draenor outdoor zones for four hours

(Rulkan = only follower with Blacksmithing)

Before you can take Rulkan's quest to get her as a follower, you must go through the quest chain starting with Into Twilight, and eventually get Chasing Shadows which sends you up to Exile's Rise to meet Rulkan.
She will then give you the quest, Ancestor's Memory, which just has you hop down the cliff, go into the cave, and click the totem in back. She'll join you in the cave and show you a vision.
At the end, turn in the quest, and when you take the quest Rulkan, you get her as a follower.

(Na'Shra = only follower with Blacksmithing):

In Frostfire Ridge, Initiate Na'Shra (65,0; 39,5) in Gate of the Breakers offers Smeltcraft for you and after completing it, Weaponsmith Na'Shral joins your garrison.

I hope this will help you! :D

Comment by Schnoodledorfer

Level 2 Small Blueprints cost 750 from Rezlak or Sparz Boltwist. They are free if you have Outpost Building Assembly Notes, which you get on completing your Outpost quest chains.

But only for two of the Outpost quest chains. You can only get Outpost Building Assembly Notess in Gorgrond (level 92) and Spires of Arak (level 96). (You clarified that when talking about the medium plots, but not the small ones.) I would also add in parenthesis in the small plots section that Outpost Building Assembly Notess are also used to upgrade medium buildings and visa-versa. Otherwise people might not notice that you are talking about the same thing in both cases.

Under large plots, you should clarify that the Comprehensive Outpost Construction Guides are only from the outpost quest chains in Nagrand and Talador.

Comment by QuartrDollarKing

You can re-arrange the buildings in your garrison buy going to the architect table, grabbing a building, and dragging it to a same sized plot. The buildings swap places without any loss of upgrades or work order progress.

Comment by zerobluex

I had a quick question, the engineers are able to craft a gun. I wanted to ask if I make this gun on my lock, will I be able to send it to my hunter. Or is that gun only available to my lock?

Comment by 326591

after several tries of attempting to upgrade my small buildings, I finaly figured it out. You need to BUY the blueprints (mine were for 750G) from Sparz Boltwist, LEARN them (duh! on me :) ), then upgrade by GOING TO the architect table, DRAGGING the icon over the old building, and PAYING another 300G and 100 resources. That should do it! Good luck!

Comment by Azshira88

Anyone know a way to get weekly garrison quests to work again? Ever since I abandoned my first they never appeared again but they do for my alt. GMs wont help :P

Comment by Kammeyer25

A little bit more than a month ago, I decided to replace my Dwarven Bunker with a Stables, because all my followers were 655ilvl. I'm not sure why, but I brainfarted and started 21 work orders, before replacing the building.

I just read the patch notes for 6.1, and 675ilvl is the new cap for followers. I therefore decided to get Dwarven Bunker back.

as I replaced Stables with the Dwarven Bunker, it said I had 21 COMPLETED work orders for the Dwarven bunker. Kinda cool!

I am not sure if this is stated anywhere, but it suprised me anyway!

Comment by ullrapollo

When will Death Knight be able to make Runeforges in their Garrison?

Comment by JDLKY

I am a altoholic, I don't Raid, and I don't PVP. Those things color my response.

My experience with buildings is that you should;

1) Get a level 2 Garrison immediately. Open the mine and mine there every day.
2) Build a Storehouse (sm bldg) asap. The extra 5 work orders come in handy. I keep all mine at level 1. YMMV.
3) Build a Trading Post or Lumber Mill (med bldg) asap (level 2 min), The former eats crafting mats and the latter is time consuming. For me the TP is much better. YMMV.

My strategy is limit my work orders at the TP to six a day until the I hit a day when they want ore which I always have tons of. On that day I do the max number of W.O.'s possible (13 of 19 in my case). That allows me to skip a day when the requested mat is one I do not have lots of. For me that's Draenic Dust.

You need to accumulate large quantities of garrison resources because when you hit 100 you will nuts making new buildings and upgrading old ones. I want at least 5,500 GR's for that.

4) Open your Herb Garden as soon as your toons hit 96. Make it a level 2 asap and assign a follower.

5) Do not bother with the Salvage Yard (sm bldg) till you hit 100. The yield from crates and bags of salvage is crap until you do some heavy building. At 100 build your Salvage Yard to level 3 and War Mill (lg bldg) and start processing all the crates and.bags you have saved up.

6) If you just HAVE to have a Barn you've got a problem. You need both the Tavern and the Trading Post/Lumber Mill. Imo put off the Tavern until you are through building. I didn't and regret it still.

Retraining Followers;

Because at the moment I have 12 toons 92+ and 10* TP's I am accumulating lots of GR's. Many of the followers you get for doing quests in the intro zone have a gathering or crafting trait you can't use. Getting rid of that trait is a royal p.i.t.a.. You need to get rid of bad traits asap. This is easiest to do with the 1000 GR retaining guide when your follower is still green since you can't pick one trait out to be rerolled.The large number of toons I have obviously makes this scheme more viable for me. Also that's another reason for getting the Trading Post or Lumber Mill and doing the daily W.O.'s.

*2 screwups :(

The retraining cert. quests don't come up all that often and I would use them on epic followers only unless I have enough to waste a few.

Comment by Bogdanov89

Lumber mill since 6.1 patch is better - work orders now award 30 Garrison Resource (up from 20).

Comment by 1501899

In one of the pics for the level 2 Garrison (Alliance), there was that little dwarven-like shop with the big mug signy-thingy. It doesn't show up after that and I was wondering if it would stay in a level 3 Garrison...

Comment by 1538278

I would love to know if there's any possibility to build storehouse after upgrading town hall to tier 3... i thought I won't lose any recipes and just build it later, after I get another space for it but then I "lost" the recipe so I can't built it anymore -_- what's with that?

Comment by KaneZ

Amazed no one mentions Harrisson Jones for leveling their little army of followers. Send him along with a really low level guy and see him level 5-6 level each mission due to Jones MENTOR ability to raise below100 followers to level 100 for this mission and get the reward for it. Being level 90 having a 15k experience makes wonders...

Comment by Reddervish

This guide says that you need to finish the Talador Outpost quests to unlock the L2 blueprints for garrison buildings. Not so. There is only one chain of quests you need to finish. The same one that awards the Red Comprehensive outpost Guide. The quests will vary depending on the choice you made for Artillery or Orb. And culminate in a quest to Gordunni Fortress with an npc that will become your follower. There are numerous other quests given at your Talador outpost that are unneeded as far as unlocking the L2 blueprints.

Comment by Shalaeir

I've been having problems with the missions table, because everytime I try to complete my missions, I get kicked off of the game. Does anyone know what I should do? I've tried sending tickets, but it won't let me. I've had this problem for a while now and don't know what else to do. I really need some help fixing this.

Comment by Salus

You can upgrade your Garrison to Level 2 at 92 or earlier on completion of the questlines culminating Bigger is Better/ Bigger is Better.

Shouldn't this say 93?

Comment by daytonajan

My garrison has an Engineering Works and with it a quest Your First Engineering Work Order. I have placed and picked up the order 4 times over the last 2 days and collected 22 gear parts so far, but the quest will not complete. Any ideas?

Comment by Wyr3d

Not sure if this has been updated yet, but as of 7.0 Salvage Yard was nerfed to the point of redundancy:

60% of the time you will just get Garrison Resources
20% of the time you may also get some herbs, ore or other materials
20% of the time you may also get follower upgrades
10% of the time you may also get class specific gear (useful only for wardrobe)

So basically, once you have the wardrobe set, exchange it for something more useful. There's also an NPC with repair function, but there's other NPCs around for that in any case.

Comment by jdmaddison

Important note: You will not see level 3 blueprints at the blueprint vendor until your Town Hall is level 3. For those of us with alts, that 5k gold cost to upgrade the garrison is required to enjoy the benefits of the highest tier of the professional buildings for a given alt. This is automatically thrown in when you boost a character to 100+.

Comment by giamiabia

I created a Demon Hunter Blood Elf so as to more easily unlock the allied races. I did not need to go to Blasted Lands to start Garrison quest line. I took the portal to Ashran in the Warchief's area and from there met with Thrall and another orc. Just follow them and do the little quests they give you and ta-da, you'll have your garrison built in less than 5 minutes.

Comment by cndd1

Just a quick note: in your "Garrison Outpost" section, you stated that

you can grab alternate followers from outpost questlines. In 6.1, you can purchase the alternate followers for 50 from your Garrison

... it's actually 5000 gold.

Comment by Nekrotik

Absolutely everything there is to know about garrisons is right here - except how to start one. Anybody know where to pick up the quest to start a garrison?

Comment by Xanthu

If you just boosted a new toon with the upcoming Shadowlands xpansion, all you need to do is take the portal to Stormshield from the Stormwind portal room, fly to Lunarfall via taxi, fly to meet Velen @ 26,8 (Northwest of Lunarfall next to the beached ship) and pick up the quest Finding a Foothold. Boom, welcome to your new garrison adventurer! (Same for Horde, just substitute Orgrimmar location and Thrall)

Comment by Himela

I don't know whether this is mentioned before but now if you have already done the pre-quests for the garrison on another character, there is no need to do them again. What you have to do is the following: Once you reach level 90, go to stormwind where the portals are and take the one that goes to Jade Forest. There take the flight path to Timeless Isle (or fly there yourself). Once there start running to the eastern part of it. There you will find a ship that is also shown on the map. Right under water the ship, there is a cave. Get in the cave, sit in one of the chairs and while sitting click on the fire in the middle. You will be summonned to Gorgrond in Draenor. From there you will have to fly all the way south to the Shadowmoon Valley and find the quest to start your garrison. This quest will be shown at the map. From there you will do a couple of quests and then you will build your garrison.

Comment by ElmaSaenji

If you want your new high level alt to get Garrison Lv 3 then go through this way:

.

ALLIANCE	HORDE
Go to Stormwind to the main portal room and use a portal to Ashran.	Go to Orgrimmar to the main portal room and use a portal to Ashran.
Fly to Shadowmoon Valley: /way #539 27.0 8.0	Fly to Frostfire Ridge: /way #525 40.8 67.0
Complete quests: Finding a Foothold For the Alliance! Looking for Lumber + Ravenous Ravens Quakefist Establish Your Garrison Pale Moonlight + Ship Salvage + Keeping it Together Build Your Barracks Qiana Moonshadow Delegating on Draenor Bigger is Better To upgrade to level 2 you need 200 Garrison Resources	Complete quests: A Song of Frost and Fire Of Wolves and Warriors For the Horde! Back to Work + A Gronnling Problem The Den of Skog Establish Your Garrison What We Need + What We Got + The Ogron Live? Build Your Barracks Winds of Change Mission Probable Bigger is Better To upgrade to level 2 you need 200 Garrison Resources
My Very Own Castle To upgrade to level 3 you need 5000 gold and 2000 Garrison Resources.	My Very Own Fortress To upgrade to level 3 you need 5000 gold and 2000 Garrison Resources.

The easiest way to get Garrison Resources is to buy Huge Ogre Cache from an auction house.
But it can be very expensive sometimes so the 2nd way is to go to Tanaan Jungle and Nagrand and kill rares. I recommend this list. It is about 100-200 resources for each so you can get 2000 in just 2 days: Fel Overseer Mudlump, Drakum, Smashum Grabb, Gondar, Pugg, Rukdug, Guk
/way #534 41.0 56.1 Fel Overseer Mudlump
/way #534 83.6 43.6 Drakum
/way #534 88.0 55.8 Smashum Grabb
/way #534 80.6 56.4 Gondar
/way #550 28.5 30.3 Pugg
/way #550 26.2 34.2 Rukdug
/way #550 23.8 37.9 Guk
