For my mining bros: there is a Treasure you can loot in Spires of Arak ontop of a mountain at 40.5 - 54.9 right outside of Admiral Taylor's Garrison that gives youPeon's Mining Pickwhich allows faster mining in Draenor (and also doesn't need to be equipped). However it doesn't appear to work in the Garrison mine.

You can get a pick from your Garrison mine (from a cart) once you assign a follower that speeds up your mining there.

I'm feeding my barn and my tannery work orders as soon as I can and sending my minions to do missions over and over, it sucks that they fail from time to time, but they level so slowly that it's getting me crazy, and sending a 91 minion to do a 95 mission ain't pretty at all. Can they level up in a different way?
Not sure about Alliance followers, but for Horde you can try to get Penny Clobberbottom and Blook. They both provide +exp to the party, which makes having them in a 3 member party really nice.

Got 100 last night, Got some warforged pvp gear from BG's wep (710modified ilvl in bgs/666 bracers)(too easy to get?)

Making most of my money currently on selling WoD inscrip pigments and cloak enchants. Haven't bothered with glyphs yet because legacy inks are 4x the glyph sale price at the moment.

My trading post building is valuating garrison resources at 500g/30GR (16.66g/gr) in minimum pigment sales off of converted herbs. (tradepost lvl 2)

You got a 666 weapon randomly queueing in BG? The fuck? I don't want to PvP at all, but such a huge weapon upgrade, 46 levels above the heirloom once I hit 100? I'd sign up and prance around on my way to loot.
I find this disturbing, sorry. PvP stuff shouldn't work in PvE and viceversa.

The weapon is an ilvl 710 2hsword during pvp combat and a 625 rare piece of shit in pve. Dropped out of an epic bg reward box on my first queue as soon as I dinged 100.

Literally 2500+ top end in a bg.

The non warforged shittier version costs 3500 honor.

Now that I have a bunch of my alts up to 92 which seems to be a good breakpoint for garrisons I have some questions.

For every trade but enchanting there is a reasonable way to keep materials coming in that keeps up with work orders. Enchanting though I'm having a hard time keeping up with enough dusts. It feels like I almost need a trading post for my enchanter. Am I missing something? It feels like this will only get worse too once I'm done with the leveling process. In other expansions my dust generation dropped way off once all I was DE'ing was heroic/raid drops. This wasn't a big deal since dusts were only used to skill up, but now it seems like I'll be needing them a lot longer.

I don't use dust for a whole lot other than maxing out my work orders each day for the epic shards and putting a sweet glow on my weapon with the follower perk.

I'm at 180 dust or so just from DE'ing green drops and quest rewards from 90-100.

Most of it I restock for 30GR anyways (15g/ea on my server and I can turn 30gr into 2 inscrip pigments which go for roughly 500g for two) Then I take that gold and buy up some dust or shards or whatever I need.

I really like the trade post.

pvp weapons SCALE to 710 in pvp, but they're naturally 620. 626 if they can become warforged.
so they're basically the same as an heirloom but scale up to 710 when you enter a BG/Arena/Ashran

Yea that might have been my sentiment had it been like ... oh look Khadgar found Alleria Windrunner and mother truckin' Turalyon let's burn this bitch to the ground... but Thrall has been emasculated and irrelevant for awhile now, Khadgar's combat capabilities were previously limited to summoning 30 minute escort quests and the rest of them are random secondaries... Hansel Heavyhands? Seriously? Did heeverdo anything but the dumb Incendosaur quest forever ago?

It just wasn't a well told story. The orcs were comically inept and inept foes posing no threat doesn't make for a deep challenge. They weren't even regular mobs, my dinky alt at 530 ilvl was completely unstoppable that whole initial Tanaan story.

*yawn* is all I have to say.
Honestly compared to the shit we have fought up to this point the orks seem to represent as much of a threat as they probably should aka not that much of one. Seriously after old gods/elder titans/titanic dragons/lich kings bands of normal orks really don't seem that scary. I am guessing whats going to happen is the burning legion winds up really kicking things off as they are not ones to take no for an answer and they are probably what finishes the iron horde off with us fighting the burning legion in draenor.

Ok, I read a 710/666 in Vit's post and got all enraged for nothing. Phew. Thanks.

710 pvp scaled weapon - 666 pvp scaled bracer (both of which are 626 outside of pvp)

I can see where I may have made that more confusing sounding than it needed to be.

Grinding BGs seems to be the best way to get even PvE gear to be honest. The Primal Gladiator stuff is ilvl660 in PvE and the weekly cap on conquest is like 1700. You can get one and a half pieces a week on that cap provided you can farm enough CP from BGs and Ashran to hit the cap. I have no idea how rare it is to get conquest from the chests you get out of random BGs but there's literally no other way to get epics anywhere near as fast other than spending 200k gold apiece to buy BoE epics from lucky people that got them in their garrison invasion bags or from their salvage yards.

Handynotes removes "Most" of the treasures you can loot, but not rare mob locations. As far as I could tell from my experience.

Will have to give that a shot, and this is sweet.

You have already progressed in rare killing before downloading the Addon? - No problem, MyRareFinder will know this and update your map automatically, no additional work from you is needed.
Does anyone else stop whatever they're doing and barrel through piles of mobs to try to get at least one strike/credit for rares? Because I sure do.

It's a disease I also suffer from. Though I play rogue so it's Vanish/Sprint/Tele-Ambush to get it. Worst part is that so many abilities have "minor cleave" with them (legendary cloak) that I end up tagging any alliance in there too. But fuck them, they should have rolled horde.
