Guys, as a enchanter, what kind of enchanting receipt I need to buy for my mage? I dont see an INT enchanthing skill in this expansion
So what determines garrison mission success?
I have a mission available right now that needs one follower. It's a Primal mission that needs a Massive Strike counter. So I pop in a threat counter guy to MS with the Primalslayer trait: 70% chance of success. How does this make sense?

if the follower is a lower level than the mission they dont contribute as much
I don't know but there seems to be a lot. Follower level (and eventually ilvl) seem to play a role and you can boost it further in some situations depending on the location of the mission (some people do better in a desert for example) or in multi-follower missions there are traits that cause success rate to go up when working with a specific race.
Seems to be a lot of different factors.

Uh, what level is it vs the follower?
Yeah, there's no primary stat gems and enchants this expansion.
As far as what you need, depends on the spec: http://www.icy-veins.com/wow/class-guides
The rules for success chance are pretty arcane, but generally, if you counter every ability and all your followers are of equal level, you'll get a 100% success chance. Beyond that are factors like overlevel/underlevel (about +/-3% chance for over/under level), secondary buffs like Wastelander (something like 12%?), and it gets a lot more complex when missions have 2 or 3 followers.
Level 3 garrison as soon as possible.
I feel like I might should do lvl 2 lumber mill. I'm seeing a lot of lvl 2 trees in Talador. I'm not sure how cost effective that is or if I'll run into lvl 1 trees in later zones.
Mal'ganis taking a massive shit tonight....sigh....
Agreed. Get all the plots going.
Do it. And then keep the Mill around for awhile, at least as long as you feel GR-starved.
Unsure if it's worth going to Level 3 yet for the LM though....as Dresden mentions below, you're capped by work order cooldowns. But yeah, you'll be able to hit all the Timbers, just not the Large Timbers. Helps a lot.
Level 3 will eventually allow you to unlock the sole LM follower, though, which ups work orders to 30 GR instead of 20. Might be worth it. I'm considering it for sure.

All it does is give you more timber per tree. Not very useful since you're still capped by work order cooldowns.
You're locked out of lvl 2 nodes though. I saw like 4 bunched together I couldn't chop.
Edit: i guess I can farm a previous zone every 3 hours? though.
Level 2 Lumber mill doesn't actually increase your rate of resource generation. You'll have far more lumber than you can use up if you play frequently.

I did this.
Goddamnit. I'm at 950 Resources right now and I can't even send my followers out because I want to save resources for other things.
They need to put in a daily or something that gives extra resources.
Wait, is there a cooldown separate from the work order caps? If not, you'd come out ahead in 20 hours doing 14 work orders vs 7.

Yeah I just upgraded and I'm still deep in the hole. Trying to resist sending my followers out because they dont give me fuck all in return.
I actually meant 14 every 4 hours. lol. I didn't realize it was 1 at a time.
Well, fuck, I wasted one of my Outpost Building Assembly Notes or 1k.
Are you on the dominant faction of your server? Walk into ashran, farm it for 600 honor per win.

Came home from work tonight, ate dinner, and logged into wow tonight on zul'jin without a queue. Sweet baby jesus I can play. Excellent stuff so far, personally put it right up there with TBC...and I mean I put it up there with my own idealized version of TBC that I have in my head, which usually seems to omit all the bullshit and only remember the cool parts.
Ally stopped entering my servers, we just roll in and kill the boss over and over. It's really disappointing actually, I was kind of hoping there would be some PvP in a PvP zone.

Any tips for getting material for your garrison, got stuck at 1600.
Good lord, multi hit everything

Rares, treasures, missions that reward garrison resources, lumber, trading mill.
And the old fashioned just wait and let it build up.
If not then don't step foot in that hellhole and simply do BGs like normal.

How do you guys feel about the heroics?
All of them that I've done so far haven't been bad. I kept hearing rumblings of them being super hard in trade, but I went in at 612 and we did just fine.
We had a tough time of the one with the train, specifically the first and second bosses (and we almost wiped on the third), but that was more because of our terrible tank.
Hopefully I get a better group to run it when I get home because I have two quests there. >_>

I'm betting they'll be putting a lot of cc back in the game later on, once everyone builds around multi-hit...
People are just bad.
I think the heroics are tuned well. Nice mix of challenge and accessibility.
For the most part, it'll come down to how good your tank and healers are, and I trust myself as a tank, so for me it's just a question of whether or not my healer knows their thing.
Biggest frustration is people breaking CC. I guess it's been so long since CC was viable, many people forgot how to do it.

Some pulls can be rough if you aren't geared and don't CC, but aside from that as long as you know the mechanics the fights are fine.

Grimrail Depot is the only that I'd classify as difficult. Mainly just because the camera is so damn frustrating for the final 3rd.

I shouldnt upgraded the enchanting building *sobs*
Mages can burst down a hard mob pretty fast now.....
Yep. Almost all of them have some specific piece of loot, either a bit of blue gear or a toy or something. They all drop some garrison supplies.
Easier than Cata launch heroics because the trash isn't as CC heavy. The bosses will whoop you if you play badly though.
Any Iron Horde mobs, which seems to be a tricky distinction, and the rate is low. People seem to be having a better time getting them in dungeons than out in the open.
Yeah if you take it slow and/or know the fights its fairly simple. Queued into a Heroic Skyreach run that was stuck on Rukrhan, after wiping 3 times everyone just left. Best 45 minutes queue ever.
one transmog piece down, like a billion more iron scrap pieces to go.
I actually dislike people CCing stuff in most situations, but I say that as an Arms warrior who just wants to burn things down. There aren't really many situations where I think it's needed.

The leather transmog set is uglier than satan's face...what the hell why would I want to grind for that.
