I tried killing a few mobs in Shattrath, but didn't get any rep. My follower bodyguard did, though.

Commento di 1125823

The trading of supplies like herbs and ore and such for garrison resources isn't quite what you may think.

The trader only wants one random particular item that day and it is done on work order system. So if you have extra ore but he wants herbs, you're out of luck. You basically have to dumb luck yourself into his needs matching your extras. IMO, this system is crap.

The vendor sells materials like herbs and ore and such in exchange for garrison resources. At the beginning of the expansion, everyone is short on garrison resources, so this vendor isn't of much value. Down the road, when you have nothing better to do with these garrison resources, this vendor will be great.

Commento di Adabiel

so I need this building in every alt's garrison at least once to unlock the faction or always there? so far I know i have to leave one permanently to keep the buff active.

Commento di 1241967

This building is great when you have dinged max level, you need resources have all gathering profession buildings, It's great for when you don't want to comit too much to your garrison but like it's advantages, best paired with the barn and one or two gathering professions across alts ( in my case herbalism and skinning).

I also practicly doesn't require you to leave your garrison for materials once it's level 2 and you have the auctioneer, so that means no more trips to ashran.

Commento di Moggz

Looks like you need to be level 100 to complete the quest to get the Auctioneer

Commento di Phoenixsong

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere - the cost of trade goods from the vendor ranges from 20 to 50 garrison resources per stack of 5, and the prices change daily.

Commento di DeadMAX

"What does it offer?
Level 1: Allows the trade of crafting reagents for garrison resources and vice versa, for a profit!"

This seems to be incorrect. I just made this building on one of my alts and buying a thing and then use it for work order is not profitable at all. I lost several resources by doing it. So it's "good" for buying a few extra items for resources, but I feel this building is pretty much useless on lvl 1.

The overall bonus to reputation on lvl 3 is probably the only reason to build it....on an alt.

Commento di Coconutshells

I just got an abrogator's stone from level 1 trading post work order in addition to the usual resources. Can anyone confirm?

Commento di darkrealm

I wanted to say that this is pretty damn good for getting resources. Herbs and Ore are just so plentiful at this point it is easy to turn in the max work orders. Yes some RNG if you get something you do not have, but usually pretty easy to get done!

Commento di Xmortis

This guide is near worthless. The "What's it good for?" section doesn't even mention the primary purpose of the building. And what does crafting reagents have to do with raiding? Also, where do you mention work orders and what they produce?

Commento di Stormeey

I found the trading post helpful for a few things early on.

1. Resources (just in general to get stuff built up because it is resource draining since upgrades can cost 1200 for Tier 3)

2. Once I had my buildings upgraded to lvl 3 it was helpful to have access to mats to finish leveling cooking for the few things you may not have to finish it out.

3. Once I completed my Stable achievements (stables gives 8 mounts all told) I switched over to bunker building for follower upgrades and this can be a little resource draining until you are built back up again since these work orders require garrison resources.

4. Once Trading Post was leveled to 3, the rep boost is amazing, and I will remain at this level until my reps are maxed and resources are maxed.

It has been nice to rarely be low on resources so that I was easily able to switch out buildings as needed and raise building levels when blueprints became available without scrambling for the last bit required.

I would like to also comment that during this phase I have also maintained my Lumber Mill with again my intention being to max out resources at which time I will switch to a different building.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting !

Edit: I have now decided that this building is a definite keeper. With the Inn have "recruited" a few more Scavenger trait followers. This gives a phenomenal amount of resources which now gives me a LOT of freedom to buy items for my prof dailies without having to switch to a gathering alt for say .. raw beast hide etc. (do not currently have barn) and with the huge influx of resources buying dust is also viable which still seems to have a very stable ÅH market. Just some after thoughts

Commento di SweetJohnnyCage

Does anyone know if I remove the building after starting the Sha'tari Defense rep grind, will I still be able to get rep for it? This building is kinda useless to me until I get the auction house bot up and running, but I'd still like to grind out the rep and get the mount in the future.

Commento di perculia

Added a section on Work Orders and resources, as well as what traders offer the best/worst deals on some materials.

Commento di Aerynsun8449

I was wondering if there was a way, list, somewhere that will show us what item Fayla Fairfeather will want to trade tomorrow? Much like Jogu the Drunk at the Tillers. Build up a rep with something and then ask, what's going to be traded tomorrow? Just wondering so, when it's random herb, I can have my level 2 herb garden with follower plant that item to be harvested the next day.

Commento di killerteddy

I may be the last one to have noticed this, but... i thought "+20% reputation bonus, great!"... "account-wide, even better!". And then i learned that faction rewards in WoD are very different from those in MoP, and entirely optional. Yes, this building does have some benefits, but it's not what i expected.
Buying mats can be quite nice, but i get so many herbs and even more ore anyway. using the barn, even lots of leather. Or even food stuff. Maybe for enchanting dust? Probably a good building if you want to use the AH for making gold :)

Commento di Mitchpriest

Sha'tari Defense plate BoA transmog set, each piece costs 1,000:

The tooltip in game states the transmog plate set is bind on pick up, can someone confirm whether WoWhead is incorrect or in game tool tip.

Thanks

Commento di 1403185

Hands down one of my favorite buildings in the Garrison. I can trade ores and herbs from my mine and garden that are utterly worthless to my Rogue Tailor/Enchanter for Garrison Resources that are desperately needed, and unlike the Lumber Yard, I do not have to go out of the garrison to harvest the raw materials for this exchange. Okay, I do need at least one of the herbs as a Tailor, but my Inscriptionist or Alchemist alts could have provided those easily enough.

I was very annoyed to learn that in order to activate the AH vendor I would have to participate in game activities that I do not currently, i.e. - PvP, Raiding and Dungeons. This makes the AH vendor part of the Trading Post useless to me, and hopefully those requirements will change in the future.

Commento di PrairieChicken

Compiling a list of traders to see if there is any pattern. Will update daily

12/31 : Elder Surehide / Talador Orchid
1/1 : Ribchewer / Nagrand Arrowbloom
1/2 : Tai'tasi / Frostweed
1/3 : Pyxni Pennypocket / Draenic Dust
1/4 : Elder Surehide / Talador Orchid
1/5 : Krixel Pinchwhistle / Nagrand Arrowbloom
1/6 : Ribchewer / Starflower
1/7 : Elder Surehide / Truesteel Ore
1/8 : Pyxni Pennypocket / Raw Beast Hide
1/9 : Krixel Pinchwhistle / Draenic Dust
1/10 : Pyxni Pennypocket / Frostweed
1/11 : Pyxni Pennypocket / Starflower
1/12 : Pyxni Pennypocket / Blackrock Ore
1/13 : Pyxni Pennypocket / Fireweed
So far, it seems completely random.

Commento di scottiegazelle

If you want to make a macro to buy specific goods, you can restructure this one from a 2011 forum post:

/run BuyMerchantItem(5,5)

So, to purchase raw beast hides (item 11), you would input:

/run BuyMerchantItem(11,5)

It will not allow you to buy in non-multiples of 5, but you can purchase stacks of 50 or 200.

So how does the 20% rep boost work acount-wide? It doesn't seem to be working on any of my alts and my main has a level 3 Trading Post.

Commento di Zzimon

Does anyone know if the account-wide rep factor stacks?
I'm thinking in regards to having lvl 3 trading post on 2 characters if the bonus then gets doubled or if the second trading post just doesn't give the rep bonus :).

Commento di Keltichiro

Don't know if this a bug or not, but the "BOA" plate set from the vendor is BOP...also, the gloves are BOP and "Cosmetic" but the rest of the set is BOP and "Plate"...a pretty jumbled set of transmog gear, especially since I assumed I could get it on my druid and mail it over to my DK/warrior like the bunker sets, but nope! can't do that! :(

Commento di bazzyl

Did some testing of Smuggled Sac of Gold myself. Coin is always between 13 and 17g.
Used macro for quick and easy buy: http://youtu.be/ddtoza0S4WY

Commento di Skarzon

If you complete the Trading Post quest for the AH vendor, then replace the Trading Post with another building, would you get the AH Vendor back if you re-built the Trading Post (and upgraded it to lvl 2) at a later time?

Commento di willowbird

I haven't been able to find information about this anywhere, so it's possible I've just been encountering bugs, but I found that I cannot even see the trader NPC in other people's garrisons on lower-level toons.

I just went into a friend's garrison on a level 92, did not see trader. Switched to level 100 and was able to interact with trader. Thinking it might be something only 100s can do, I switched to my level 97 and was still able to interact with her.

Thinking it might have been a bug, I got back on my 92 and still did not see her. To check with a different toon, I tried again with a level 91 and did not see her.

It seems as though there is a level cutoff, perhaps 95, where you can't use the trader in other garrisons. This is somewhat bad news for those of us who maintain alts simply for their professions, but it seems like they're going to stay at resource cap until I'm bored enough to level them.

Has anyone else found information about this? Or had similar experience?

Commento di armrule

The trader npc; Krixel Brillabotti, will only appear to those with a trading post of their own and the daily random exchange rate is the same from one npc to another.

Commento di zenshu

If you don't raid and you want this for the ability to have an auction house in Draenor, don't bother, because if you don't raid you can't get the auction portion without spending 20K-100K(at least on my server) on the auction house to buy the stupid raid drop parts/completed part.

Commento di alpeza

If i build 2 trading posts do i get 40% rep?

Commento di Promenius

Big news, guys. In Legion, all of the Garrison and Shipyard missions that reward gold will instead reward extra EXP or garrison resources. This means, the Treasure Hunter trait will become more or less useless, and that we won't be able to farm gold as effectively before through missions.

But that doesn't mean the Garrison will just be a complete waste, since the item "Smuggled Sack of Gold" (as of my writing this post) has not been changed.

Now, going by the data, the consensus seems to be that each bag gives roughly 15g. Not a whole lot in exchange for 50 garrison resources... but it adds up. If we say that you had ten alts (that you just checked the garrison cache on every three days or so) until all of them had 10k resources...

Well, 10k resources equals roughly 3k gold.

If you had ten alts, that comes down to 30k gold. That's not a bad sum of cash. I mean, it's nothing earth-shattering, but given how little time and effort you need to put into "farming" resources, I'd say it's more than worth it.

So, when Legion rolls around (or just before it does), it might be worthwhile to build a Trading Post in each of your garrisons and respec your followers into Scavengers, rather than Treasure Hunters.

Commento di igibum

Are the prices of raw materials with trader changed in 7.0.3?

Commento di Wowzir

Regarding buying items in bulk from the garrison traders

I am not sure if this represents a recent change or not, however I discovered that once you <shift>-click an item in the trader's UI, you can simply type in a desired quantity of the item up to the maximum stack size for that item.

This promises to bring reductions in aggravation as well as repetitive stress injuries.

You can make your entries using main keyboard numeric keys and/or the number pad keys (And, yes, you could use a combination of both, Weisenheimer).

It is not even necessary to click in the number display area in order to enter the quantity.

Commento di SirZooro

If you are wondering, reputation buff from Trading Post works only for WoD factions. I have just used Stolen Shado-Pan Insignia in my Garrison hoping that I will get more rep from both Trading Post and Hallow's End buff, and got 1100 rep points - this means that only Hallow's End buff was applied :(

Commento di Himela

It seems that lately the materials are most days expensive than not. I haven't seen them costing 16 resources for at least a week now, while other times it was really common.
