No prob. The other thing you can do is Cata raids on 25h. Once you hit 650 ilvl, you can solo all of them. They give like 1200+ gold each and take about 30 minutes.

Current demonology is a shitshow of clunky mechanics.
Wow, that's pretty amazing. Might be fun to try it at least once. I am a bit over 650 now (weapon seems to be the hardest thing to upgrade at this point) so I could give it a shot for the hell of it.
Well yes and no. The amount most gold missions give is fairly low overall, the trick is that you need to use the Inn to recruit followers with the Treasure Hunter trait which increases gold gained by 100% from missions and it stacks the more followers you have on said mission.
You should also look into doing the Harrison Jones quests from the garrison if you have not done them yet, he is a follower that comes with Treasure Hunter guaranteed but more importantly he has an OP trait that allows any follower on a mission with him to be brought up to his level and ilvl. Basically lets you power level followers since you can put level 90 ones on level 100 missions and gain tons of xp.

And thats also why you need a level 3 inn. It unlocks the "slightly" more lucrative gold missions. Most missions range from 25-100 gold, but the follower bonus is multiplicative, so its 100>200>400 with 3 followers.

Just got Warsong Offensive exalted, now I can make me a Mechanohog. The only cool mounts I have are ones I made.
It's not multiplicative any more. That said, your numbers still end up being right, as each of three followers adds 100g for a total of 400g on those missions.
Very cool. I recruited my first person and went with one that was useful at the time as I didn't know any better per se, but I'll try for that treasure hunter one next. I assume I'll be able to get a new follower as it's the start of a new week.
As far as Harrison is concerned, my inn is level 2 currently.. is that high enough to get him? I feel like I saw him once but don't recall. Didn't realize I could use the group finder to visit other people's garrisons.. interesting.
He's not from the Inn. You get him from doing 6 different daily quests offered by him in your town hall. The quests are now in a set order so you can obtain him in 6 days.
Note: if he's not in your town hall, use the custom group finder to visit a garrison that has him.

You need level 3 inn to get the more lucrative gold gain missions, you can see this if you look at your garrison drafting table and mouse over the inn and look at its level 3 rewards.
I believe followers gain a money trait when their item level hits certain tiers as well.
I wish making a Mechano-hog looked more profitable on Dalaran. I think I'll just make mine and move on to the next project. It looks like you only make about a 5-6K profit if it sells for what it's going for on the AH right now. There's a fixed price of the vendor components and I have no idea how much a time investment it is to gather the necessary titanium ore and crystallized elements but it doesn't look like it's worth 5-6k gold. It might be worth it if I can gather the mats purely though the AH since I can smelt the Titansteel but the largest variable there is the Crystallized Fire/Earth/Shadow needed to make Eternal Fire/Earth/Shadow for Titansteel. That 5-6k profit margin could disappear there.

It's one of the many traits they can get when going up in rarity.

Apparently Engineering is too much work to bother to level up to 300 to be able to craft and use Flying Machines. This from the person complaining about the price of Flying Machines on the AH and they're level 100, with Draenor's ridiculous profession catch-up mechanics. People are so lazy.
It's just another chance at loot from the boss you use it on. The loot has a chance to be warforged, have a socket, or have a tertiary just like a normal loot drop.
Thanks. 100% chance to get one from a mission which is probably a pretty good quality result given the actual cost of one, but the usefulness of it seems to be a bit questionable. I'll go for it anyway I suppose just in case.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
well, you should do it anyway to clear it out of your follower missions
but its only for Blackrock Foundry and before.
Yeah those are the "old" seals from the first tier of the expac. I definitely do not recommend spending gold on them at this point, but go for it on the Garrison missions.
Foreword: You should wait until we've got more info about professions
Tailoring + Enchanting will most likely be a sure bet for self sustaining money making. Alchemy will also most likely make steady money since potions will always be needed. If gathering professions make a comeback, double gathering (generally mining + herbing) will also make money, but you need to spend time going in circles in the world.
Impossible to say for sure, but I'm going to say Inscription & Enchanting. The amount of money I made at the start of the expansion with Darkmoon cards was pretty damn insane. People are more willing to drop 50k+ on a DMF deck as, historically, it'll last them longer than other craftables.

Wow, you can upgrade your orange ring for 1250 Valor now. Mythic dungeons are going to be popping off for the rest of the expac.

TBH I'm not sure how I feel about this, even though I knew it was coming. Given that I have a maxed ring already. I guess useful as a grindy catchup for alts, but I'm not really going to be working on any alts the rest of the expansion unless I had to for some reason. Still have to do the crappy tomes step without any catchup mechanism for those characters without the legendary already.

I want to knock out the rest of the Panthers for my mount count. I'm at like 194. You got any tips on running heart of fear solo?
Just pop the potion at the very end of the first run, rather than at the start. If you're a (Prot) Warrior, spec for Bladestorm, Ravager, and Shockwave. Speed buffs are your friend (being engineer/Warrior[charge/leap] really helps).

Given that flight will likely be gated behind a series of end-game achievements in legion just as it was in Warlords, I'd say Engineering, if only for Goblin Gliders and capes tinkered with re-usable parachutes. These things help me circumvent a lot of the environment when i don't feel like running my ground mount through a bunch of mobs.
Well personally I loved battlegrounds so I was wondering if PvP in general has been tweaked since Cataclysm.

PvP is getting a huge tweaking in Legion, you might want to keep an eye out for that.
Right now, it's not in a very good place.
For some reason I seem to have frame rate drops to the 40s in the "capital cities" of wod. The same is happening in ashran. Any way to remedy this except to put everything on low since it is only there? In the world I can play pretty much on the highest settings except hbao+.
I have a nvidia 970m with 16gb ram.

So you're running in up to the first boss, killing all the trash, not the boss, and resetting right?
At a certain point, enough characters and mounts rendering will slow any system. As long as it doesn't impact you any where else I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Pretty much. There's one pack right at the back (you'll know which I mean) that triggers the boss & makes the zone unescapable, though. Just do one run to see which I mean, and then you'll be set for any number ofo runs after that.

Goddamn Ulduar, it's been like 6 weeks and you still haven't dropped the last piece (chest) I need for transmog.
I want to go back to using a Yogg lockout rather than full-clearing
I mean technically I could already I suppose for my other characters, but I was determined to finish this transmog set first.

Hmm. Got the tank BoA trinket today. Overall the dungeons were stingy though, only dropping two BoAs total.

Well another day no Belf battle chicken from Magister's Terrace. no Ashes of Al'ar from Tempest Keep, no Raven Lord from Sethekk Halls but I am 2k away from being able to build my Mechano-hog after a tough slog of a day and a half of farming mats and gold for it*.
* That's sarcasm, I read how much of a time and gold sink crafting a Mechano-hog used to be. Now it takes almost no time to farm and build one.

Haha, I remember when that was a top tier mount and status symbol.
I was so envious. People jumping off Dalaran (or any high height) in their mount and only the mount "died" lol. Then mount back up and you're good to go

Well I still have Heroic 25 man Firelands and a few WotLK dungeons to run tonight, I may get enough to finish that Mechano-hog tonight. I want to have a cool ground mount for Legion.
Just did The Day that Deathwing Came questline. I love coming across quests that show off some serious humor in the game.
"And that's when I realized that my motorcycle could actually fly!"

Definitely one of the best and most memorable quests from the Cataclysm revamp of the old content.

Flying motorcycle and a hot Belf Lady in your side car, what more could you ask for?
Edit: Fuck yeah, cleared out my Reagent Tab and dumped a bunch of stuff on to the AH. A bunch of it sold and now I can finish buying up the parts for my Mechano-hog.
