Comment by scottiegazelle

Thanks very much! I took my new 100 around gathering up garrison resources and followers all at the same time (since I did the power-level, I hadn't picked up resources in some countries or killed many rares). Much appreciated!

Comment by arucardsikk

This is a very helpful guide with a well organized path and good description of steps. After "garisson"-ing two alts I spent some time questing to get enough followers for them to get a good grip on buildings and missions. This guide rounded up my bag of followers. ;-) I'll also use this one first when my next alt reaches level 90.

Comment by Sniper1551

Horde quest giver for Pleasure-Bot is Ziz Fizziks

Comment by Sykoh23

Aeda is found at 58.1, 53.

Comment by shadedemon

Great guide, and some additions would make this guide even more complete in combination with the leveling guide, and to save looking around for other guides for details needed while setting up.

1. List of quests, intro to opening garrison.
2. List of quests for level 2 garrison.
3. List of quests for Alliance, to get to the 3 follower choice for Engineering etc followers.
4 List of quests for Spires to unlock the outpost, to 'Orders Commander?' and with instructions to choose the Smuggler's Den but don't turn in the quest. Use the ability until you get the Ziri'ak follower. Then choose the other building, and get both the follower and get the 20% for leveling without the 5K gold to get the follower later. Of course maybe put it in the leveling guide at the beginning of Spires of Arak section, when it would be the right time to do it.

5 Mark and on the maps, and put them in a tab just like the followers at the appropriate place so you don't forget while following the tabs. Of course they are items not followers, but they're handy for a fresh alt garrison so it's good to grab them while you're close.

This is basically what I'm doing manually when setting up new 100's between this and a few other guides, add these parts in here and there would just be two browser tabs to use, this guide and the leveling 90-100 guide.

Comment by Tote88

Great guide, TY. I suggest adding, Delvar Ironfist / Vivianne to the Stormshield portion. He's part of the Stormshield intro already but some people unlock the flight path and drop the quest. Starting quest is Ashran Appearance.

Comment by Azzinarius

Very helpful guide, thank you! The TomTom information also made using the guide a complete breeze.

Comment by 945326

Bookmarking this guide to use it on the rest of my alts. Thanks very much!

Comment by Fhenix15

Mostly for horde but I guess some of it can be used for ally. I explained a little bit what to do and also added paste/tomtom waypoints. I didn't make all the ways because those were enough to get me going, hope it helps some of you.

Frostfire Ridge
Mulverick needs a considerable questline, so we're skipping that one.
Get all 3 quests from both Shadow Hunter Rala e Shadow Hunter Mala, after turning in them, there will be a 4th quest, finish and you will get Shadow Hunter Rala.
Now get a quest from Rokash, once you turn it in, he's all yours.
To Na'Shra, get the quest, turn it in wait until she goes to her hut and she's yours.
For Dagg, you have to visit 2 spots and free him, now if he's not on the first spot, go to the second one, free him and then go back to the first, after freeing him both times, he will be by your Garrison's entrance

/way Frostfire Ridge 65, 60 Dagg 1
/way Frostfire Ridge 39, 28 Dagg 2
/way Frostfire Ridge 65, 39 Weaponsmith Na'Shra
/way Frostfire Ridge 60, 32 Gronnstalker Rokash
/way Frostfire Ridge 52, 40 Shadow Hunter Rala
/cway

Gorgrond
Beat the crap out of Blook and he is yours.
For Tormmok, help him with the folks annoying him, after that there will be 2 waves of enemies, on the second there will be a small boss, once that's done, Tormmok will shrink and you'll be able to get him as a follower.

/way Gorgrond 41.32, 91.47 Blook
/way Gorgrond /way 45, 87 Tormmok
/cway

Nagrand
We'll skip Lantresor because it requires 30 mins or so of questing and requires parts of questline done.
Leave Abu'gar's waypoint for last because we will need to gather his objects first.
For Goldmane, just follow the waypoint to the top of the tower, kill Bolkar the Cruel and he's all yours.
After gathering all Abu'gar's objects, use the last waypoint and talk to him and he'll follow you.

/way Nagrand:Draenor 38, 49 Abu'Gar's Favorite Lure
/way Nagrand:Draenor 40, 76 Goldmane the Skinner
/way Nagrand:Draenor 66, 61 Abu'gar's Vitality
/way Nagrand:Draenor 85, 39 Abu'gar's Missing Reel
/cway

/way Nagrand:Draenor 67, 56 Abu'gar

Spires of Arak

Benjamin Gibb is very simple, just kill whatever is near him and talk to him, he's the exclamation mark.
The way on TomTom is for the cave entrance, just get in, slay them all and get Leorajh.
For Kimzee, accept her quest, Gazwitz's (beside her) and Exterminator Lemmy's quests (north-east 62.54, 73.83), just follow through and she'll lead you to another quest with Gazwitz.
After those are done, go to Pinchwhistle Point , 2 more quests from her and 1 from Krixel. Then 3 more quests from her and Krixel.
Next comes the quest called Flame on from Krixel, which is the last one and gives you the Salvage Yard plans and Kimzee becomes a follower level 97, took me half an hour so, might be worth it.

/way Spires of Arak 36, 52 Benjamin Gibb
/way Spires of Arak 54.95, 65.36 Leorajh
/way Spires of Arak 62, 73 Kimzee Pinchwhistle

Comment by Alarius

Might I also suggest adding Weldon Barov? You can rescue from under a fallen tree in Gorgrond @ 61,39. Requires a lumber mill to be able to remove the tree.

Comment by ayato77

Excellent guide, just what i needed to get some followers for my alt!

Comment by Zinovia

Excellent guide that let me round out the followers for my druid that I'm prepping for Legion, and showed me a number that I had missed questing on my WoD main. Thank you!

Comment by vlaka

should add what level you need to be to recruit some of thee followers.

Comment by Wowzir

Goldmane the Skinner

Goldmane is available as a garrison follower to BOTH factions, Alliance and Horde

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.
;)

Comment by datgrl

I've tried to pick up the mysterious items for the Archmage on 2 different characters. I can't seem to get the items and related quest pick ups to spawn. Is there a character level requirement or garrison level requirement?

Comment by Itfiggures

Fen Tao , a fat Pandaren Mistweaver Monk, should also be added to this list, you just talk to him and he's yours. It can't get much easier. Find him in Warspear for horde and Stormshield for alliance.

Comment by vikn

It should be noted that for most of this you'll have to establish your garrison first, this might not be very surprising but I'd thought I'd try it out without bulding my garrison first.

I arrived in Gorgrond on my boosted level 110 character with zero progress in Draenor and started doing some of these things.

The items for Image of Archmage Vargoth doesn't show up at all, there's just nothing.

You can still challenge and beat Blook but he doesn't offer any quest afterwards.

But! You can actually free Dagg from his cages and once your garrison is built he'll show up by the gates.

So there's some progress you can make before establishing your garrison but it's not really worth it, it's best to just rush to establishing your garrison, except maybe for hords arriving in Gorgrond, picking up Dagg could be done easily on their way over to their garrison.

Comment by Rexaur

GREAT Guide, Info spot on, Great map progression...just a small note to add to follower Ahm...you might add after complete with level 3 garrison he spawns back of the garrison next to herb garden...spent 4 hrs searching. Tom tom cords everything great job really appreciate this guide Thankyou

Comment by GibbleFenwick

The guide doesn't include waypoint commands. And the top-rated comment (which does), seems to selectively exclude some for ~~"reasons"~~ excuses. <sigh>

Comment by rayguiss

you should add to this guide in frostfire ridge : Gronnstalker Rokash and Weaponsmith Na'Shra

Comment by Sarthorius

Went straight to Warspear (horde mage character) for Fen Tao, then to Vivianne but she didn't have the option then I went back to my garrison, picked up Ashran Appearance from Gazlowe (or your npc that stays near the garrison's buildings table, for alliance), 'TALKED TO THE GARRISON'S FLIGHT MASTER, CHOSE THE 'TAKE ME TO ASHRAN' option' and did the short chain quests there (~2min questline). The Innkeeper's last quest is exactly for you to talk to Delvar Ironfist / Vivianne.

If you want Lantresor of the Blade post WoD, specially for boosted or characters you rushed thru WoD on the leveling, for his mining trait on the Garrison Mines, fly to nagrand, no need to do outpost stuff on other area, fly directly to the zone's 'entrance', and pick up The Might of the Warsong/The Might of the Warsong and do a short questline (~2 min) untill you can do his questline (after you do the arena quest, just head to where you turn in the quest, on the area where your Nagrand Outpost would be and pick Lantresor on it's outskirts, make sure to turn 'old quest tracking' on). Whole questline shouldn't take more than 5-10 mins for post-WoD characters.

PS: Dunno if, after picking up the extra option to fly to Ashran (with the quest) if you clicked the button to force a drop on next FP, so you could teleport to Ashran instead, for faster travelling works.

Comment by Nevada

This is a totality useless site. Maps with all sorts of line drawn on them but no names of who the followers are nor their coordinates.

Here is an example of what I mean.

There is one additional follower for both Horde and Alliance in this zone, and one more mysterious artifact.

No clue as to who that follower is or what the artifact is.

Comment by hmrhead

Well done, friend. Thanks for putting this together.

Comment by datgrl

"The next zone on our list is Frostfire Ridge. From the mysterious ring, move directly west to reach this zone. If you're horde, this is a good time to pick up the four followers listed earlier(Mulverick, Gronnstalker Rokash, Weaponsmith Na'Shra, Shadow Hunter Rala). There is one additional follower for both Horde and Alliance in this zone, and one more mysterious artifact."

This appears under the Frost Fire Ridge section description. However, I can't find any previous listing for the 5 NPC followers in parentheses. There used to be another guide that I thought was a bit more complete but I can't find it. It appears that someone is going and downvoting comments that have helpful information. Even if there is a 'substantial' questline, they should be included for the guide to be complete.

Regarding the ring, it was not there. I even followed a video. Then I found a comment somewhere that it will not appear until you are high enough level.
