These outpost "upgrades" need a nerf on the resource cost. The one in Drustvar gives buffs, which is great, but this one gives just fucking wolves that do nothing and another one gives a wickerman disguise. At least the unlocks are account-wide.

Speaking of the mission table is there any way to get follower gear other than the BoP crafted stuff?

Yeah these 'upgrades' are terrible. The only worthwhile one so far was for Spud the hyperfast crag 'mount'. I just upgraded an outpost that gave me a scrapper. I could maybe understand if I didn't have access to a scrapper before doing this that it might be really cool to unlock, but as it is who the fuck has a pressing need to scrap gear at one particular flight point versus just going back to town and then continuing on?

I'm a few k into 19, and haven't done a crazy amount. I did a good amount of random heroic queues on the first weekend b/c I had to farm some azerite pieces, and there was a 100 AP tank bonus for doing them, so that was decent AP. I did a few PvP island expeditions as well which were a decent AP rate, you win those way faster than you with a mythic island expedition if you have a good group.

There is a guy in my guild who is 20k+ into level 20 atm. He is rank 3 in the US, has just been chaining the fuck out of island expeditions. I honestly don't know how he does it. I do what I need for the weekly and need to break for a few.

I do have warmode on when I WQ, might help a bit with the AP rate.

Island Expeditions are absolutely terrible and fuck blizzard for gating a large chunk of AP behind doing them. I could understand doing like 2 for a weekly. But you need to do like 5-7 on heroic. They're dumb, not engaging at all.

You're the first person I've heard say that about them. I really like them.

I really enjoy the island expeditions.... in small doses. Chain running 7 in a row gets shitty fast, but spreading them out over the week they are a nice break from world quests and mythics.

Has anyone gotten either a weapon or trinket to pop up on their worldquest?

There are like 5 different trinkets that pop up for WQs. See them all the time. I don't see as many weapons, but I've seen a few. Maybe once every 2 or 3 days I'll see a weapon pop up.

Idk, the PvP ones were kind of fun. The mythic one was hilarious, the NPCs are fucking monsters with wild abilities, it's so god damn funny. Hard to do them over and over again tho.

I've seen only 2 weapons so far, but a bunch of trinkets.

Here's hoping RNG will be on our side and spawn us a 340 weapon for Honourbound emissary one day here before the raid comes out. Been having bad luck so far with getting a mythic weapon and only have the Kul Tiras mythics left to do later this weekend.

I do find the expeditions to be fun, but only in small doses and I can't believe some will sit there and farm that non-stop to get AP. I have yet to try mythic expeditions, but plan on doing that this weekend. I am all for doing harder ones, if that means it takes less to complete the weekly.

Maybe next week I'll do one per day rather than 5 in a single night

I just don't find anything enjoyable about it. Felt like a waste of my time (aside from AP grind). I'd much rather run dungeons or WQs than that.

Also I posted that dumb video of us failing the tunnel boss and it hit 1100 views. What the hell

I also dislike them and find them incredibly boring. I did four of them on normal with a guild group before writing them off. The rewards are nowhere near enough for the tedium that comes with doing them.

Maybe I will try again, once they start lowering the cost to level the neck.

The weekly reward for rep and ap is totally worth it for me but I stop them right after that. There's so much stuff to do right now.

I am a bit more casual than most.. casual mythic raider really.. limited time with getting the kids to bed and work. I am a bit overwhelmed with everything I need to do in a week

I have heard some complaints. I think overall they are pretty amusing but there needs to also especially in the normal version at least some generic item drops as well simply because doing them while still working on your ilevel really slows down your equipment progress currently.
