Garrison development

In Warlords of Draenor (WoD) expansion, you get a level 1 garrison at the conclusion of the introductory quest line. This area served as each player's base of operations during the WoD expansion. Setting a garrison up is a great thing to do since it has its own separate hearthstone. Then it can be used as a way to get to the world portals by hearthing in then taking the flight path to Ashran. However, even if transportation is your only reason for getting the garrison, travel time is significantly decreased by the addition of a portal to Ashran in the level three garrison. In addition, the garrison offers services and resources if developed. Those resources are not as valuable since we've moved on to other expansions but they may still be useful. This page will provide information and links to outside resources to help players easily develop a level 3 garrison.

To develop your Level 1 garrison, your character must accomplish the following:

• Complete the quests under Level 1 Garrison on the following page: Quests to Unlock a Level 1 and Level 2 Garrison
• The last quest of the above series starts your first mission on the garrison mission table. It's important to do the next quest called Ashran Appearance (Alliance) or Ashran Appearance (Horde). This gives you the flight path to Ashran which has a portal that takes you to the Stormwind/Orgrimmar portal room.
  • While in Ashran, you may wish to complete the additional four or five quests in this quest line. It will get you another follower. You should be finished by the time your first mission is ready (15 minutes).

To build a level 2 garrison, your character must accomplish the following:

• Complete the quests under Level 2 Garrison on the following page: Quests to Unlock a Level 1 and Level 2 Garrison
  • Starts with Yrel in the garrison.
• Complete Bigger is Better (Alliance) or Bigger is Better (Horde)
  • This quest was available on the Alliance side following Shadows Awaken and may be available even earlier than that.
• Be at least level 20 (???). (I was already level 20 so unsure of this requirement.)
• Pay 200 Garrison Resources to purchase your upgrade.

To develop your level 2 garrison, you must accomplish the following:

• Most level 1 blueprints are learned automatically. You can construct them immediately.
• A quest will be available to construct the Lunarfall Excavation (the garrison mine). Once built, it can be upgraded to level 2 immediately.
• Level 2 blueprints have various requirements:
  • Note: Completing the three quest lines noted below rewards three tokens which can be traded in to Kinkade Jakobs in Ashran for building blueprints. However, you must hold on to them until level 40 before they can be traded in.
    • Small buildings: you must either be level 30 or complete the Talador Outpost questline.
    • Medium buildings: you must either be level 35 or complete the Spires of Arak Outpost questline. You must be level 30 to start the questline.
    • Large buildings: you must either be level 40 or complete the Nagrand Outpost questline.

To build a level 3 garrison, your character must accomplish the following:

• Be at least level 40.
• Complete the story line quests in Talador.
• Pay 2,000 Garrison Resources plus 5,000 gold to purchase your upgrade.

Garrison Resources

The easiest way to accumulate garrison resources is to simply visit your garrison cache regularly. Unless you're in a serious hurry to fully upgrade your garrison this is likely all you'll ever need to do. The cache earns resources at the rate of 6 per hour. It maxes out at 500 resources which takes three and a half days. This can be doubled by purchasing Trade Agreement: Arakkoa Outcasts but you must be revered with Arakkoa Outcasts.
