Ouch, I'd expected it to still be about 50% or so, that's pretty
harsh. Hope it just means the shipyard brings in decent stuff instead,
but I've not got that far yet...

Think that one's a bug, it's mentioned way down towards the bottom of
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/372511-updates-from-warcraftdevs-patch-62-ptr/
as "Thanks for the report. We're investigating this further."

>- The crafted upgrades is now 1 item.  so your crafting list is revised. 

Yep, lesser materials for the earlier upgrades, but then you gotta get
Felblight and stuff for your new upgrades. I believe crafting daily cd
gives larger amounts of materials now too.

I discovered how good the spirit lodge is for apexis very recently;
had forgotten allabout it till my bf was levelling an alt and
complaining about lvl 100s farming his quest mobs all the time,
suddenly I realised it was ogres every time, and then i remembered the
addition of work orders to the spirit lodge. Tried it and yeah, 200+
most times, well worth the ogre farming :-) 150k will still take ages
though, hopefully there's ways to get then in Tanaan too.

Unfortunately there isn't a 225 mounts one, the next is 250 ;-) I'm on
214 at present, got lucky the other day, my bf was questing in Nagrand
when he says "what's that rare that's not on my Draenor Treasures
addon?", I look over, lvl 100 elekk with 2 million+ health... suddenly
I twig it's a mount dropping rare; I've never seen any of those! Cue
panicked login and Aviana's Feather over to Nagrand then riding as
fast as I can praying that no uber geared person comes along and nukes
it before I get there lol, luckily nobody did and I got a new elekk
mount :-)

>What have you stumbled upon?

Nothing so far, patch is downloading, then I'm expecting it to the
crowded as heck anyway hehe, so I'm off to do my bonfires today, when
there's unlikely to be many allies around waiting to gank me when I
get flagged from stamping out their fires ;-) Probably will give
Tanaan a go later though,I just don't want to burn through all the
content and go back to boredom too fast!

Oh well, probably not such a bad thing in some ways, I only did the
missions once a day anyway but I know some people seemed to find it
necessary to do them constantly; that was one of the prime excuses I
read in the bot ban threads - "oh but you have to bot the garrison, it
takes for ever to run all your missions and do the herb garden/mine on
20 characters several times a day"... jeez. The logical answer to that
of course is "then DON'T", but seemingly some people are too dumb to
realise it's not compulsory...

I only use the trading post to get rid of resources, not to earn then,
it's great to convert easy resources into gold by buying draenic dust
or black rock ore and selling on for profit :-) All you need is 5-6
scavengers and you never need resources anyway once you get a garrison
up and running with everything built.

Hah I always did it manually, way more fun than letting a program do
it for you, so I'm fine :-P
