Garrison management WoW: Warlords of Draenor Guide

Garrison management requires you to keep many things in mind. Fortunately, you can access the window, where you can follow the basic processes in the garrison, on a regular basis. To access the window, you need to click the icon of the crossed swords, in the bottom-left corner of the minimap.

In the window that pops up, you can review how many missions have already been completed, or how long before they are completed. In the next tab, you can view the number and the type of the available missions that you can dispatch your followers to. Also here, you can find information on the status of production in your buildings, e.g. the mine, the herb garden or a profession-specific building. Unfortunately, you can only view the status of the garrison here. To implement any changes, you need to go to the garrison yourself.

It is a good idea to exchange reacting substances, for resources, as often as possible. Thanks to this, you will ensure yourself with a supply of items that you need for your profession.

You can order the specific items to be crafted at the majority of buildings. It allows you to exchange the items of low usefulness for the ones that you need for crafting.

To issue a work order you need to go to the NPC in the specific building and pay him the specific number of reacting substances, by pressing the "Start Work Order" button.

One Work Orders takes 4 hours to be completed. As soon as it is completed, you need to see that NPC again but, this time, you need to click on the highlighted chests next to him. In the window that pops up, you see all of the items crafted by your subordinates.

In a tier one building, you can issue 7 work orders a day. At tier two, you can issue 14 such orders, and 21 at tier three. Each one of them requires 4 hours to be completed. Therefore, after you issue 21 work orders, you can stay out of the garrison, or even out of the game, for the next 3 days. If, to all that, the upgraded Storehouse is added, the number of work orders is increased by another 15 so, this means additional 2 days. The process of crafting can be speeded up by some of the followers that you can assign to a given building. Usufollower, they double the production speed.
