Buildings for RaidingMissions Apexis CrystalApexis Crystalbuildings for raiding

Your own gear-related profession building: If you have a profession that makes gear, by having a profession building related to your existing profession, you will effectively halve the time it takes to make items, since you will have twice the daily cooldown.

Profession buildings for which you do not have the profession: you can also craft gear for yourself from profession buildings without having the associated profession, albeit at a much slower rate and a smaller selection of items.

Salvage Yard: One of the ways to get gear from your garrison for raiding is by sending your followers off on missions that reward gear (see a list of missions that reward gear here ) as well as missions that reward Caches from the Highmaul raid which also may contain gear. Missions that reward epic gear have an 630 item level requirement for your followers, and missions that reward epic raiding gear have an ilvl 645 requirement for your followers. Having the Salvage Yard Level 1 as a garrison building allows you to loot Crate of Salvage while completing missions. These can only be opened at your Salvage Yard Level 1 and have a chance to contain the items needed to upgrade your follower's gear. These items are fairly common from the Crate of Salvage. See a list of all the follower upgrade items here. In addition, when you level your Salvage Yard to 3, you may occasionally find gear for your own character in the Big Crate of Salvage.

The Barn provides some raiding benefit in the form of materials for upgrading crafted items and a chance at providing Savage Feast in the Barn Level 3's work orders. While you can cook personal 100 stat food, this is the only feast you can set out for your raid that provides 100 stat food.

The Dwarven Bunker/War Mill provides a benefit to the above outlined description of gaining gear through missions because the work orders at the Dwarven Bunker / War Mill Level 2 reward the weapons and armor used to increase your followers' item levels. These work orders open up at level 2. When you level your Bunker/War Mill to 3, you are granted one free Seal of Tempered Fate per week. This does not grant you an extra roll, just one of your 3 is free of charge. This may be a benefit to time-limited raiders, in addition to helping gear up your followers.

Super helpful guide for those of us who do things with a specific goal in mind. Thank you!

Comment by estherbamberg

This was exactly the guide I was looking for. Thank you for laying things out this way.

Comment by 827892

Thank you so much, kept trying to find somewhere with all of this information compiled somewhere. Should have known I'd just need to be patient.

Comment by 1400175

This is a great guide. I love all those pets and mounts and trying to find it one by one can sometimes be problematic.

Good job!

Comment by tkoivuma

Best page about garrisons. Now to build everything across the account.

Comment by ZenoDwarf

Probably the best guide to understand what all you can do with garrisons. Still need to look at details of each building to see how it works.

Comment by 1321192

Awesome guide just what I was looking for, going to make mount collecting easier for sure!

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 Blublood

Would just like to point out that when you have a Level 1 Salvage Yard that upon completing a mission, you have a chance to obtain a Bag of Salvaged Goods, not a Crate of Salvage.

Comment by Highone

Spirit Lodge is not mentioned at all but I wonder...
Does Rune of Power effect work in raidzones?

Comment by AtroposZ

Salvage Yard info should be updated after the December stealth nerf. Level 90-94 missions no longer give you any chance at salvage, while successful level 100 missions give you guaranteed crate (but take 4-8x as long). Essentially, if you dont have an entire stable of very well geared followers, it's not nearly as good as it was.

Comment by darkmoonchii

Loved the whole Guide to Garrisons in Patch 6.1 especially the new jukebox and being able to customize each of my garrisons a little bit more, I love having the music match my toon at the time, just like my garrison guards match! So helpful TY

SUGGESTION

For players working on catching up ALTS, especially from NEWER expansions, there is a simple way to bypass some or all of the Zone Outpost questlines to get to the ZONE of your choice.

For example, say you want to obtain Lantresor of the Blade for his Mining Ability, you can get to Nagrand and your outpost there to more quickly obtain him.

You do need to FINISH your starting zone questlines for your faction, including fighting The Battle of Thunder Pass or Strike While the Iron is Hot.

After that is completed, when you go to Gorgrond to meet Durotan (Horde) or Vindicator Maraad (Alliance), instead of completing the quest with the NPC with the yellow "?", look for another NPC nearby offering a quest (yellow !) which sends you BACK to your GARRISON. That quest will be News from Talador OR News from Talador.

Go back, complete THAT quest and take the flight from flight master to the next zone. Repeat the process of taking the quest sending you BACK to your garrison INSTEAD of actually starting the Outpost Questline for the zone.

CAUTION: the process is a bit more complicated for Spires of Arak. In THAT case, you will need to go (preferrably fly) to the location where your OUTPOST would have eventually been found after a long tedious questline. Skip the questline and go to
/way Spires of Arak 40.2, 43.5 Axefall (HORDE)
or
/way Spires of Arak 40, 61 Southport (ALLIANCE) Alliance waypoint location is ONLY approximate... my Horde alt did not get that close!
Pick up the "News From... " quest and return to your garrison.

Once you have done it for all the zones leading up to Nagrand, you will be able to simply fly back to the zone of your choice and work on the outpost in that zone.

Since Nagrand is the final zone with an Outpost Quesline, you will not be looking for a "News From... " quest.

Complete the lead-in quest depending on your faction:
Taking the Fight to Nagrand or Taking the Fight to Nagrand for Alliance -OR- Taking the Fight to Nagrand or Taking the Fight to Nagrand for Horde and accept the next quest from that NPC.

That will be either The Might of the Warsong -OR- The Might of the Warsong and the respective turnin locations are
/way Nagrand:Draenor 63.4, 61.8 Rangari D'kaan (Alliance)
and
/way Nagrand:Draenor 82.8, 45.0 Thrall (Horde)

Note that you are NOT required to complete the Outpost in Nagrand before you can obtain the Lantresor of the Blade Follower.;)
