WoD: Garrison Guide: Making Lots of Gold w/ the Barn Building!
What's up guy and girl players of WoW. Tarou here bringing you a new video for Warlords of Draenor. This video will take a look at the Barn building for your Garrison and see its gold making potential.
To start, you'll need to have a medium plot available or be willing to overwrite one. At level one a barn costs 150 gold and 100 garrison resources. After an hour once your level 1 barn is built you'll get a quest to trap mobs which can be done right next to your garrison. You can stay here for awhile and build up your work orders or just do the quest. Once you're done trapping a wolf, start a work order, and turn in the quest. At level one you can only queue seven work orders just like any other level 1 building.
The level 2 upgrade will cost you 300 gold and 300 garrison resources. To get the plans you'll need to have the Spires of Arak Outpost or be level 98. At level two you get to trap more powerful animals which gets you better meat to make the most powerful food along with leather and fur while being able to queue up 14 work orders. You can also assign a follower with the skinning trait to the building which will increase the yield. However, level 1 and level 2 aren't really amazing money makers so your main focus should be upgrading to level 3 as quickly as possible.
Getting the level 3 barn is a bit trickier since you will need to gain an account-wide achievement called Master Trapper as well as have a level 3 garrison. The achievement requires 125 work orders to be placed with a level one or two barn. If you can, get the barn on all your characters to help get this achievement faster and make the most money for your account. This is one of the best gold making buildings you can possibly have once it is level 3. When you complete the achievement, you can buy the plans and build your level 3 barn as long as you are also level 100. It will set you back 500 gold and 600 garrison resources to construct the building in addition the 1,000 gold for the plans or free if you use one of your leveling quest rewards.
Just like with prior levels you will get a quest once the building is built. You can trap any of the elite riverbeasts, wolves, or clefthoof in Nagrand for the quest. They can be solo'd but are somewhat difficult for some classes if you are a fresh 100. I used a demo to kill my first one since I just dinged 100. Another way to make it easier is by grouping up with people. You can no longer trap tagged mobs like I did in this video so you will have to group if you want to share traps. You also can no longer double trap which kinda sucks. I use to just pick a person and follow them around on my Druid or Warlock. I would trap away from them so they knew I wasn't stealing their mob and after they got the mob trapped, I would use Typhoon or my Succubus' knock-back to shove the mob over and on to my trap. I'm kinda lame but I thought it was so much fun to do this and I it also allowed me to fix their trap if they screwed up making it a win-win. But of course there were those who would taunt, push-back, knock-back or whatever mobs away from people and those people complained a lot. So, Blizzard changed it and now you can't double but you can have all five people in your group trap five different mobs and net five traps for each person. You no longer need everyone to trap. One of you is enough for each mob.
Alright so a bit more about the level 3 barn is it allows 21 work orders without upgrades and you can now trap elite mobs in Nagrand. The elite mobs are sorted just like prior levels with wolves producing Sumptuous Fur, clefthoof producing Raw Beast Hides, and Riverbeast producing feasts. In addition, they all have a chance to produce a work order containing a Savage Blood. To even increase those odds further, assign a skinner to the building. An easy follower with the skinning trait is Goldmane the Skinner and here is a link to show you how to get him easily. He is also level 100 already and should produce slightly better results than a lower level follower would.
To give you an idea of the difference between having a follower assigned and not, I did a comparison on several characters and found that 21 work orders generally produced 3 Savage Blood without a follower whereas with a follower assigned it produced 6 or 7. That is at least double the yield and well worth the few minutes to find the follower with a skinning trait if you don't already have one.
I currently make around 5,000 gold per day with three characters having a barn. This of course will vary from server to server but should be well worth it to anyone.
The last little thing I want to show you is a neat pet that you can get by discovering a Glass of Milk inside your Level 3 Barn. It took me a minute or so to figure out how to get inside the pen but a simple hop on the hay stack makes it pretty easy. The cow is nice and simple and a great addition to anyone's family of pets.
Well, that's it for this video and I hope you liked it. To see more videos like this and many other types, please subscribe to my YouTube channel, RyutaroAkaTarou.
“Now Go Trap Some Beasts or Something!”
I'm sure others have their favorite spots as well but one suggestion I can give is don't focus solely on farming Lovely Charms. Go do to some dailys, run a heroic or raid, or anything you can do to multitask a bit and really utilize your time. Some players who have everything can even use the Lucky Charms to make some extra gold by either buying the pet and mount to sell or the bracelets themselves. You won't be able to sell the bracelets you make on the Auction House but you can sell them in trade. Now we'll make our 12 Lovely Charm Bracelets and get our "Charming" achievement. Back in town we'll use the leftover bracelets for the four major city quests. For Org head to Garrosh and turn in "A Gift for the Warchief". Next, get a port to Thunderbluff, fly there, or use the Darkmoon Faire npc if they're around to get a port. Once in Thunderbluff head to the flight master tower and at the base you'll see the Love is in the Air holiday npc with the daily for TB's High Chieftan. Grab that daily and go turn it in. All of these will reward a buff card, 5 Love Tokens, and some gold. From there, head over to Silvermoon. In Silvermoon go to The Bazaar like you see me doing here on the map. Grab the daily from the quest giver and before going back to the Lord to turn it in, grab some alcohol from the Wine and Spirits Merchant in the Silvermoon City Inn or wherever sells alcohol. You'll need it before going to Undercity since Undercity is an abstinence city for some odd reason. Once you get around 5 jugs or more of bourbon continue on to turn in the daily to Theron. When that's completed, head up the ramp and take the orb to Undercity. In Undercity, stop by the vendor and grab 15 Handful of Rose Petals or 3 stacks and 1 stack of perfume. . You'll need these for inside of Undercity. Take the elevator down and go underneath the staircase near the bank to find cochroach vendor, Jeremiah Payson. Then, use the perfume, drink alcohol until you're completely smashed, throw a handful of rose petals on Jeremiah, and finally kiss him. Grats you should've gotten the "Flirt With Disaster" achievement. Next, head to Lady Sylvanas and turn in, "A Gift for the Banshee Queen". This is the final quest in the "Nation of Adoration" achievement series. Grats on that achieve and from here on out you'll want to repeat doing these quests everyday for 20 Love Tokens total. This'll help you complete other achievements and get your mount and pet. The next achievement we'll start to work on is "Fistful of Love". Wow, the items and achievements have such strong sexual references. Some of these are funny but others gross me the hell out. Ok, so for this one you'll be using a Handful of Rose Petals on different race and class combinations. Start by using the immediate area around you. Especially, in the Auction House, banks, or out in front of those buildings. I'm still drunk so it's a bit hard to see but whatever. I can make out the tooltip on my rollover. After you've found all the race/class combos you can, grab 2 stacks of Silver Shafted Arrows adding up to 10 total. With 10 arrows ready to be fired, you can start working on the "Shafted" achievement. Just 10 players that don't have a pet. These days this can be a little bit of a chore to accomplish but just the busy areas of your town and you should be good. Finally, shoot your 10th player and get the "Shafted" achievement. Next up let's do "Lonely". First get a box of chocolates from the Love is in the Air holiday vendor. It'll cost 10 Love Tokens. Open it up and you should get atleast one Buttermilk Delight. You'll also need to buy a picnic basket or find someone who does. Check with your guildies and friends. When you find someone, head to Dalaran. Then, eat from the picnic basket to get the picnic buff. Finally, eat a Buttermilk Delight and get your "Lonely" achievement. Grats. Oh and before I forget again, eat all the candies that were in the Box of Chocolates. This'll give you the "Sweet Tooth" achievement. Since you're in Dalaran already, this is a good time to look for more race/class combos for the "Fistful of Love" achievement. Check all the banks, pathways, and the Auction House. Also, if the Darkmoon Faire is still up, it's another great place to find the opposing faction race/class combos that you may need. You can also check in battlegrounds. In the meantime, let's get some other achievements done. We'll do the "Be Mine!" achievement next. Grab 2 or 3 Bags of Heart Candies and open them up. Next, eat the candy and cross your fingers that you get all eight different candies. If you don't, just by more bags one at a time until you complete the achievement. Nice, we got "Be Mine!" completed very easily. Ok, with those out of the way, I'll keep at the "Fistful of Love" achievement. I've been searching around Dalaran and the Darkmoon Faire as well as battlegrounds for awhile and was just not having any luck with finding a Nightelf Priest. You'd think I could fine one easier but that wasn't the case. So to get around this problem, I made a Nightelf Priest level one to get the achievement completed. Have a friend help you out with this if you run into the same problem for any of the race/class combos. Cool, got the achievement. Nice we only have four achievements to go. We'll do the "I Pitied The Fool" achievement next. You'll need to have 50 Love Tokens for this one. Then, buy 5 Love Fool target dummies. The first you can do is in Arathi Basin. Just queue up for it, head to the Blacksmith area in the middle, set down the dummy, and type /pity. If you do this with friends you can save some Love Tokens by splitting it up. Have each friend buy one. You can also get lucky and have some random just drop one. Next, head to the arena in Stranglethorn and do the same. Drop a Love Fool target dummy, target it, and type /pity. For the last three, you'll have to head to Northrend. Grab the zep or get a port. Then, fly over to Wintergrasp. In Wintergrasp, drop another dummy, target it, and type /pity. Next, fly over to Naxx and ask a friend or guildy or even a random player to make a raid with you. Zone in to Naxx and do the same as before. Finally, fly over to Dalaran and go inside the west building and into the Caverns of Time portal. Once inside, take the drag and fly to the bottom. When you land, fly over to Strat and zone in. Drop the last Love Fool target dummy, target it, and type /pity to get your "I Pitied The Fool" achievement completed. Grats and you're almost done. The last achievements may take more time since you need a good amount of Love Tokens and luck. For "Lovely Luck Is On Your Side" you'll need 20 Love Tokens. Then, purchase a Lovely Dress Box from the vendor and hope you get a Lovely Black Dress. Don't worry though, you DON'T need this for the meta achievement. Only players who are completionists need to bother with this. Or maybe some RP'ers who want it. Next, you'll need 40 Love Tokens or a good amount of gold to get a Peddlefeet pet which come from the Truesilver Shafted Arrow and it'll give you the Perma-Peddle achievement. On my server it's currently 10,000g and will likely decrease further into the holiday. After the holiday is finished the price will likely go back up again unless the market gets flooded or people get desperate. This one is NOT required for the meta achievement. The last one you'll need for the meta achievement is "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose". This can be easy or a pain depending on your luck. Queue up for a cata dungeon and different bosses can drop a Bouquet of Ebon Roses or Bouquet of Red Roses. You'll have to beat others for the roll and as the holiday goes on, it should be easier and easier as many players get their's. If you have a guild with four other people who want the item, make a group and take turns looting it. Finally, after completing that achievement, you'll get the "Love Fool" title. This completes all the Love is in the Air achievements and grats to everyone. I wish all of you luck on the Big Love Rocket mount and Toxic Wasteling pet drops. Also, I wish all the RP'ers luck on the Forever-Lovely Rose head piece.
