Garrison Treasure Team
This man knows how to set the bar high.
When you’re trying to put together a team of Treasure Hunters, you want them to be successful. You want to load your crew with Treasure Hunters who have superior abilities that will bring success. Success that is measured in piles of gold.
So when you go to your Inn and tell your Headhunter that you’re looking to hire Treasure Hunters, how can you tell which of the three prospects will be the best choice? Much like everything else in this game, the awesome number-crunching nerds over at MMO-Champion have tested and calculated which follower abilities are the most effective.
This is what they came up with, from the top down:
Massive Strike: 833.32
Wild Aggression: 666.64
Powerful Spell: 571.65
Timed Battle: 537.47
Minion Swarms: 501.65
Deadly Minions: 470.83
Danger Zones: 444.99
Group Damage: 443.32
Magic Debuff: 302.49
On Tuesday, when you go to the Inn to get another Treasure Hunter, don’t make your selection based on cute names and pretty armor. Pick the prospect that will make you some gold.
Because gold… is good.
Bodyguard Reputation Farming
Bodyguards know about shrinkage, right?
Running around as a Blood Death Knight has certain perks. Things like being nigh unkillable in PVE content as long as I don’t do something incredibly stupid. Bringing along a Bodyguard follower to throw in some deeps isn’t really a bad idea either.
But like any relationship, it takes work. You haven’t built that rapport with your Bodyguard yet, so you’re not getting the best they have to offer. They’re going to hold back a bit. But once you build that bond, they start to open up a bit more.
Unlike a regular relationship, you can fast-track through the courtship phase and get right into them goodies.
I’ve got two places I like to take my Bodyguard to build that bond.
The first, and I think the best, is the Burning Front in Talador. There are little gateways that demons are constantly pouring out of. Just set up in front and start killing. I got the 10k rep to take my Bodyguard reputation from Rank 1 to Rank 2 in 35 minutes. Probably could have gone faster but I was feeling lazy. So I just put on some music and did the damn thing.
ZaFrostPet over on Youtube made a short video about the spot, so enjoy it won’t you?
The second place is in Nagrand. Now this spot is less about grinding rep and more about grinding gold. The respawns are fewer and not quite as fast. But the mobs are higher level, and have a chance to drop some good AH items. Thirty minutes here only got me about 2500 rep, but I probably made around 600 gold in AH stuff and vendor items.
Oldbess has a video that outlines the joys and sorrows of this spot. You should watch it. For reelz.
Those are the two spots I like to use. Do you have any places where you go to grind follower rep?
