WOD -- Leveling Consideration -- The End is Near!

• Salvage
  
• Inn
  
• Armory
  
• Barracks
  

• Be sure to kill the world bosses every week regardless of your level simply attacking them will give you a chance at loot.
  
• Heroics now have that annoying as hell diablo loot system. The most important special states to look for are warforged and gems.
  
• Challenge modes should be done daily once at cap for there epic.
  
• Stop at your garrison repeatedly while leveling. I was able to get a mission that rewarded lfr quality gear 5 days into the expac.
  
• Brawlers guild has a very good ring as well as a follower with the mentor trait that provides bonus exp to your other followers i would recommend completing as much of it as you are able asap.
  
• The welfare Legendary quest starts at level 98 and is fairly simple to complete I would recommend doing it while leveling since you will be unlikely to want to do a normal at level 100.
  
• It is far more effective to recruit level 100 follower then level new ones. Check though the achievements at where to grab each.
  
• Apexis crystals are the new valor points grab the quests in the inn to receive some while leveling. your other major source will be from level 100 garrison quests.

3. Build Orders

Build Orders present a strategy how to construct the Garrison. Depending on the Garrison's level and it's intended purpose, there are specific buildings that have proven to be the best for specific types of players. There are so many buildings to choose from, and yet you may have but a few built.

3.1 Build Order for Leveling
This guide will suggest the best possible buildings for your Garrison during the Leveling phase.. It will include the first 2 levels of your Garrison. As you level up, some quest will award you with an item that can be exchanged for level 2 blueprints in Ashran, these items are Outpost Building Assembly Notes (small and medium buildings) and Comprehensive Outpost Construction Guide (large buildings). These are awarded at the end of one major quest line in each zone (excluding starting zones).

Garrison Level 1
Small: Build an Enchanter's Study. It will allow you to Disenchant all gear that you get from questing.
Large: Build the Barracks. It will enable additional missions for your followers, providing you with more gold /GR and them with additional exp so they can keep up with you. You will build this building via the fist quests you get when you make a garrison, and you won't really have anything else to choose from at this point.

Garrison Level 2
Small: Your 2nd small building should be the Salvage Yard, that can be acquired at level 96. It will allow you to collect Salvage from missions. Do not open these till you upgrade the Salvage Yard to level 2 (that is when they can drop useful loot)! If you are a slow leveler and getting to 96 would take you more then a day, build a profession building till then (make sure to have the said profession).
Medium: Make a Lumber Mill. It allows you to collect Timber from trees that you come across as you level up. Timber can be converted to GR via work orders at the Lumber Mill.

3.2 Build Order for Raiding
This guide will suggest the best possible buildings for your Garrison, specifically intended toward a Raider. This guide is for a level 3 garrison, attained once level 100 is reached. For any lower level garrison, please refer to the Build Order for Leveling guide above.

Small:
Salvage Yard. Allows you to gear up you followers so they can run dungeon and raid missions which can award you with gear. Raid missions specifically award you with items that are from a raid difficulty higher then the one you are running (one difficulty above current, if you're raiding Mythic you will also get 1000 gold).
2 Profession Buildings. Choose the ones that match your professions.

Medium:
Trading Post. Allows you to trade GR for any materials, so you can make consumables. It also allows you to trade random materials each day for GR via work orders.
Lumber Mill. Keeps you well supplied with GR. Do note that Barn is better if you have already unlocked the lvl 3 blueprints.

Large:
The Barracks. Increases follower limit to 25, allowing more missions at once.
Bunker. Can help gear up followers via work orders. Provides you with a free Seal of Tempered Fate each week (bonus roll).

3.3 Build Order for Gold Making
This guide will suggest the best possible buildings for your Garrison, specifically intended toward gold making. This guide is for a level 3 garrison, attained once level 100 is reached. For any lower level garrison, please refer to the Build Order for Leveling guide above. This guide will focus on your MAIN character. If you have ALTS that you plan on using for gold making, use this guide for your MAIN and the Altoholic guide below for ALTS.

Small:
Salvage Yard. Allows you to gear up you followers so they can run dungeon and raid missions which can award you with gear. Most missions reward gold or GR. The harder the mission, the better the reward.
2 Profession Buildings. Choose the ones that match your professions.

Medium:
Trading Post. Allows you to trade GR for any materials, these can then be sold. Also gives you a Auction House in your garrison.
Lumber Mill. Allows you to gather Timber. Turn Timber into GR via work orders. Turn GR into materials at the Trading Post.

Large:
The Barracks. Increases follower limit to 25, allowing more missions at once.
Mage Tower / Stables. Both can reduce travel time around Draenor, allowing you to get to your farming spots quicker. Choose based on personal preference.

3.4 Build Order for Altoholics
This guide will suggest the best possible buildings for your Garrison, specifically intended toward those whom have and love their alts (altoholics). This guide is for a level 3 garrison, attained once level 100 is reached. For any lower level garrison, please refer to the Leveling guide. This guide will focus on your ALTS. If you have a MAIN, use either the Gold Making or Raider guide for your MAIN. Alts will be split into 2 types: alts used for gold making; Raider alts. If you have alts that you wanna raid with use the Raider guide for them.

ALTS USED FOR GOLD MAKING

Small:
Salvage Yard. Allows you to gear up you followers so they can run dungeon and raid missions which can award you with gear. Most missions reward gold or GR. The harder the mission, the better the reward.
2 Profession Buildings. Choose the ones that match your professions. Make sure your alts have different professions and abuse this.

Medium:
Trading Post. Allows you to trade GR for any materials, these can then be sold. Also gives you a Auction House in your garrison.
Lumber Mill / Barn. Build different one on each alt. Both require around the same time investment. Lumber Mill lets you gather Timber to trade for GR via work order, and then trade that GR for any material at the Trading Post. Barn allows collection of Savage Blood used to craft all epics, some of which you can sell. It might be a good idea to start with a Barn at 100 on a few alts to quickly unlock the lvl 3 blueprints.

Large:
The Barracks. Increases follower limit to 25, allowing more missions at once.
Mage Tower / Stables. Both can reduce travel time around Draenor, allowing you to get to your farming spots quicker. Choose based on personal preference.

Abuse your Bonus buildings on as many alts as possible. This will supply you with HUGE amounts of ore and herbs for free.
