The Garrison Grind

Hi,

Yeah. It may be starting to get to me, but it's just preventing me from doing other stuff I want to. I think I'll be fine though. I'll stick through it until I get the Master Plan done.

Here's what I do on all 12 characters each day.

Before work:

Complete Follower Missions
Send out on more Follower Missions
Do some trapping of Elites for one of my 4 Barns.

After Work:

Complete Follower Missios
Send out on more Follower Missions
For each Character (
    Get GR crate
    If Barn then Collect from WOs
    Collect from Bunker and complete scrap quest and start more WOs
    Do Prof CD, collect from WOs, and queue new WOs
    If level 100 then open all Salvage Yard crates
    Collect from Herb WOs, Herb the Garden, and queue new WOs
    Collect from Mine WOs, Mine the Mine, and queue new WOs
    Put all mats in Guild Bank and vendor everything else
)

By the time I've finished all that, I may not have time for much more. I can level a bit, maybe get an LFR wing in, run and old Raid, or do more trapping.

Let's talk a bit about Barns. I have them on 6 characters, and Trading Posts on the other 6.

Out of my 6 Barns:

2 (My Priests) are trapping Wetland for Feasts and Savage Blood
2 (Warlock and Hunter) are trapping Clefthoofs for Leather and Savage Blood
2 (Paladin and Rogue) are trapping Talbuk and Wolves (regular) for Fur

BTW: Out of my 4 Elite trapping Barns, I'm getting an average of about 12-18 Savage Blood per day now.

I'm actually swimming in Savage Blood now, because I've been converting all Herbs and Ore to Primal Spirits and buying Blood with them. The gating for profession upgrades is now the Prof Mats. I've got about 70 upgrades left to craft. At 200 mats per upgrade, that's 14,000 Mats :)

So, what else have I got done?

Well, I did quite a few Old Raids this week. I did Firelands, Bastion of Twilight, and Batol on 4 characters. I was after Embersilk cloth too, and crafted the remaining Prof bags I needed.

Also, Slealthy leveled up to 96, and Bambood to 97. I think Bambood will be my next 100.

I also did LFR on Pally and Blizzy, when they had Mauradin in their Garrisons. The quest is nice for wing 1 of Highmaul LFR, because it gives a 645 piece and 61g.

So, how's the Master Plan going?

Leveling: Get each one to 100. Counting 90-100. Out of 120.

Only 2 levels gained. Now 109/120 = 90.83%

Gearing: Get each character to 650. Counting 600-650. Out of 600.

Some gear upgrades and LFR pieces and Follower pieces. Now 318/600 = 53%

Crafted Gear: Get 3 pieces of fully upgraded gear on each character. Out of 144.

Did a few crafted upgrades. Now 71/144 = 49.31%

Professions: Get 2 professions on each character to 700. Counting each profession. Out of 24.

Bambood got Herbing to 700. Now 21/24 = 87.5%

Secondary Profs: Get all 4 secondary profs on Flaying to 700. Counting 600-700. Out of 400.

DMF this week for minor increases. 322/400 = 80.5%

Achievements: Get to 10,000. Out of 10,000.

Not a single achievement this week. Still at 6665/10000 = 66.65%

Guild Achievements: Get to 100. Out of 100.

Now complete at 100/100 = 100%

Gold: Get to 1M Gold on Flaying. Out of 1M.

A good week. Just mostly from Salvage etc. Went up to 577,982/1M = 57.79%

Mounts: Get to 100 Mounts. Out of 100.

Nothing this week. Still 50/100 = 50%

Followers: Get 10 followers on each character to 670. Out of 120.

10 on Flaying now and 1 other. 11/120 = 9.2%

Overall Plan progress = 64.48%

I've been thinking what the long poles will be. Achievements definitely, but now I'm starting to think crafting upgrades will be up there too. I'm going to start crafting more mats with Primal Spirits, but there will have to be a balance between that and Savage Blood.
