Making Gold In WoD – Patch 6.1

This is Warlords of Draenor. The expansion that asks the important question: “Who needs flying? Are you too lazy to walk across your own garrison? Y’know, since nobody leaves their garrison anymore.”

True story too. The recent patch 6.1 now gives you even more reasons to stay inside your garrison – from a Juke Box (to change the mood music while you mine/herb) to World Bosses who come right to your door (dude don’t step on my stable). Fight the good fight without ever leaving the comfort of your cushy home away from home. Aren’t we supposed to be waging a war against the Iron Horde?

Now about gold. What of gold? Turns out, Patch 6.1 just made it easier to earn gold without having to leave your garrison. The life of a shut-in just got a whole lot more profitable, and Bellular will tell you how to cash in.

WoD Garrison Guide

Warlords of Draenor sucks.

I say this because I feel like I’m in the minority. Most other people have like four hours an evening to play WoW. They bang out ten levels like it’s nothing and have their garrisons running like clockwork factories. Me, I feel as productive as sticking my dick in a fan.

I advise against that, by the way. However, if you feel the need to do so, I’m sure the gene pool would appreciate your efforts.

When I log in, I am all business. I don’t chat in guild. I don’t even read guild chat (so if someone has said hello to me when I logged in, I apologize for ignoring you). I have maybe an hour to play, so there’s no social foreplay. I just get at it. Hence the lack of blog posts.

When I first logged into WoD, I started the intro quests to get my garrison up and running. After that, I did quest chains and tried to figure out what the Hell my leveling guide was trying to tell me. Eventually I finished off the Frostfire Ridge quests and realized that I didn’t know what was going on (Read quests? Watch cinematics? WTF?). I decided just to continue the aggressive blitz to level and unlock more features of my garrison. However, what was I going to unlock? Sure I’d read guides, but once I was knee-deep in the resources I blacked out.

Bellular posted a nice garrison guide that I will probably follow. It covers different garrison builds, as well as tips for helping you put the damn thing together in the first place.

Now if only I had a few hours a day to play.
