Shipyards are Back!

Hi,

Yep, Shipyards are back big time. With the recent quality of life improvements they made to them, they are definitely worth doing now. I recently expanded from 5 Shipyards to 8 shipyards (and will eventually run 10).

Priesty doing ship missions

My first three (Priesty, Beasty, and Shammy) have all got Voljin's Headhunters rep to revered and now have the Oil Rig. The first 5 have level 3 shipyards, and the other 3 are working on getting to level 2 and level 3. I've been looking on wowhead for the best mix of ships, and considering the best mix of ships for the gold missions. But what I've decided on now is a balance of ships and equipment to keep all the mission rewards rolling in, but to concentrating on getting crews that will really help. So, I'm going with:

3 Destroyers, 3 Battleships, 2 Subs, and 2 Carriers.

And I want Pandaren, Undead, or Goblin crew. For now, if I get Troll crew, it is OK (to get ship equipment for free), but they will eventually get swapped out. This means a lot of decommissioning of ships and re-rolling hoping to get the right crews. I did spend some time on Priesty getting the Ghostly Spyglass equipment blueprint (from a rare in a cave in South Tanaan), and will work on getting Priesty's whole fleet sorted out, before working on the others.

Other that shipyards, I spent a lot of time on lots of characters in Tanaan Jungle. They all did Kazzak this week, for lots of Felblight. They also did the daily a lot, to work on the rep. I was lucky to have Ironhold Harbor as the daily quite a few times. It's my favorite. Ironhold Harbor and Iron Front are my two favorites, with Zeth'gol next, then Fel Forge, and Temple of Sha'nar being my least favorite.

Priesty was the only one who did the Saurfang quest this week. That's because it was Black Gate (Archimonde!!). I'd never done this before, but plunged right in. We wiped the first time, as there were lots not hitting the adds. Second try was better, but we still failed. We finally downed it with 2 stacks of Determination. Nice cutscene to finish off too. I'd recommend doing it for the cutscene if you haven't done it before.

I also did a lot of gearing up. Between all the 20K Apexis upgrades I was getting, I also crafted a lot of 5/6 equipment, and upgraded a little bit with Valor too.

I did work on reps a bit, working on Priesty's Arrakoa and Frostwolf rep. Priesty did the regular garrison Skettis daily, and also did the FFR one when it was up.

Magey and Combat continued to work in lockstep, upgrading their garrisons, and are nearly maxed out and will contribute to gold soon.
