What I want to know is who is doing the Trading Post just for the bag?

Comment by TheHokypoky

My question is whether the trading post mount is account wide and cross faction? Or is it locked to that character?

Comment by 1090338

Question, does the trading post unlock those factions account wide or just that character? The wording used sounds like either just that character or maybe all characters of that faction? Just curious of the current build.

Comment by ejlejl

I feel like the trading post is more of a market, and a market wouldn't quite fit in a garrison. Only some people will have a trading post, and since it offers so much, it would be unfair for those that chose not to have a trading post. I know, I know, it is a choice; it's just that this plot has so much more things within it compared to other plots. I could see it as being a wandering market, maybe each player would be on different level with the salesmen for what's available.

Example: you fish up a strange book and one of the traders wants it. So you collect what's needed and boom, you have access to the auction house.

tl;dr, the trading post offers twice as much as the other plots combined. It's so necessary that it should be it's own town or market.

Comment by 726210

Legit question. Will pvp healers have to get killing blows in order to collect bones?

Comment by 602893

i am hoping to have the barn on my alts so I can trap stuff and then send the results over to my lw to create gear for all t my alts.

Comment by 829526

Question: Will the Trading Post 20% Account-wide reputation gain still be active if you get rid of your Trading Post after achieving it?

Comment by nordveien

The Lumber Mill guide is misleading. It constantly uses the word "Timber" instead of "Garrison Resources". When you upgrade your LM, you get more GR per work order, not more "timber"!

Comment by perculia

Based on feedback and the addition of guides to each specific building, I’ve cleaned up and reformatted this guide a bit. It’s more of an overview to Large Buildings if you’re not sure what to choose and don’t want to be overwhelmed by information. I’ve kept some of the details, but the fullest in-depth summary can be found on the guides to each individual building, which are linked to this guide.

I’ve also made the basics more obvious in the Overview section at the top as well.

Comment by moislen

Question. If I complete the stables quests and replace the building with another, can I rebuild it and get those quests again? They gave a good amount of GR

Comment by ze00

FYI - Level 3 Trading Post provides 30 Garrison Resources for each work order, Completed on a Level 3 Garrison, Level 100 Character.

This allows for feeding the War Mill/Dwarven Bunker work orders with still a positive number of Garrison Resources daily.

Comment by zevalon

The trading post reputation boost is not account wide. I'm not sure where the information that it was came from (or if it ever was true), but it is not the case as of 1/5/2015.

If you're investigating/planning on building the Level 2 Trading Post to get the auctioneer, please read this.

"It's a time sink!" ~ Harrison Jones
"It's a gold sink!" ~ Leeroy Jenkins
"It's a trap!" ~ Admiral Ackbar (wait... wrong franchise)

If you're thinking of spending 1000g + to build a trading post just to get the auctioneer (like I did), get ready for a little surprise: you're gonna have to spend way more time farming and dig much deeper in your pockets (another 50k to 100k gold) before you ever see an auctioneer.

The description for the trading post is:
"Level 2 Trading Post: Enables access to the auction house."

This is not entirely accurate or forthcoming. It should be "Level 2 Trading Post: Enables you to get a really expensive and time consuming quest to allow access to the auction house."

No, the level 2 trading post doesn't come with an auctioneer like the storehouse comes with your banks.Once you complete the building and upgrade it to level 2, you'll need to complete the quest Auctioning for Parts . The objective of the quest is to procure all the parts to 'build' your auctioneer with an assortment of components, which are comprised of a plethora of mats, some which range in price from hundreds to thousands.

Be sure to check the comments and mats you need on the quest above BEFORE you buy the level 2 Trading Post blueprints. Price everything out on your server. Figure out the drop rates and locations for the mats, which range from PVE raids, to PVP, to Draenor.

If you're rich and a dedicated player, it should be fun. If you're a casual... eh.... might as well stick with your bank alt. You DO have a bank alt don't you?
