As we head into Mother's Day weekend, we can't think of a better way to focus our thoughts than to acknowledge the powerful role that women play in shaping the lives of those around us. Today you may be grieving the loss of your own mother or perhaps you're struggling in your role as a momma. Many of our listeners may be disappointed and hurt because their heart's desire is to become a mother, but that hasn't come to fruition just yet. And still, many of you may be relishing in all that God is doing in and through your life and your children. Wherever you're coming from today, you can know that today's story is going to refresh your soul, inspire your faith, and renew your ability to believe that God is the God of miracles. Today's guest Johanna Garrison shares the made-for-a-movie, but real-life story of her own family's journey from war-torn Holland to America. Johanna's heartwarming accounts of her mother's faith in God carried their entire family through multiple tragedies. And as Johanna herself celebrates her first Mother's Day without her sweet Chinese momma, she provides a measure of hope for those who are asking, "If God really loved me, why did this happen?"---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Johanna Garrison has served as a teacher, administrator, conference speaker, and mentor. She is a graduate of Evangel University. In addition, she has partnered with her husband, Alton, in multiple ministry positions including evangelist and pastor, as well as serving with him in his offices of Executive Director of US Missions and Assistant General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God.

On today's episode I have the absolute honour in talking with Garrison Draper from Inter Miami FC. Garrison shares an experience which many individuals can relate to, in changing career goals and pathways. His success to date shows how completely normal it is to be going down one path and having it not working out, to ultimately finding a better career alternative. For Garrisons love of anatomy and sport, this alternative ended up being involved in the high-performance sport industry. It can initially be very intimidating having dedicated so much to a specific path or journey, to then take a completely different path in the future. Listen for Garrisons specific experience in this. Garrison also shares his experiences early in the industry, where he was given rare freedom in tasks that had a direct impact on a senior playing group. Having been given this ownership of something that impacted the team daily, he initially felt unprepared. But he ultimately benefited from this practice as he became and expert at the tasks. He has since taken on this form of delegation to his own staff as he leads his own group of practitioners. As part of being a leader, its necessary to know when and where to call it quits for the day, and to understand how beneficial it is for creating a healthy work/life balance. Garrison takes inspiration from some of his mentors in being able to switch off completely in such a demanding industry. This becomes even more important when kids are introduced into the picture. Garrison shares some cool tools and techniques that he has used to stay mentally well to date: 1) Being open about speaking to a therapist and accepting that nobody needs an excuse or any negative/traumatic event to be asked ‘are you okay'. He and his wife terms this as helping out the ‘Cactus People'. Those who can survive anywhere but need love as much as anyone and cannot be neglected. 2) Garrison knows his safe space; the tress and with his family. He uses nature to help stay mentally well and handles all of the weight on his shoulders. He shares the term Shinrin-yoku, which was coined by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries in 1982, and can be defined as making contact with and taking in the atmosphere of the forest. 3) And lastly, Garrison took on a challenge of only reading fiction for a year. Which helped him enjoy his reding again, instead of making it a chore. Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gldraper-fitness/ Email: Garrison.Draper@intermiamicf.com
Juergen Schmidhuber is a computer scientist and mathematician who works on artificial general intelligence and pattern recognition. He is also the founder of Garrisons, a company which creates artificial "microcosms" in which artificial intelligence can evolve. In this episode, Juergen and Lexman discuss the concept of unravelment, which is the process of eliminating unnecessary complexities from systems. They also discuss the importance of freaks in artificial intelligence, and how training artificial neural networks can cause embitterment in some specimens.
In which I narrate mostly a chart! There was some lore on the same page, but I felt like it was missing some context without the full chart rundown. Plus, this is the final piece from Codex Imperial Guard (3rd. ed) and I didn't want to end it on a tiny little piece. I've had requests to cover old Eldar and Ork codices, but keep missing out on those as their eBay prices inflate beyond my means. I don't suppose you want to donate one to me, do you?

It is time for more trivia with "GXW VS". Today Jamie and Stev3 go head to head to figure out where the various Garrisons are located throughout the world.
Topic: World of Warcraft This week, we start the process of learning about one of my favorite games of the last decade, and Mom gets to come and journey with me on it. We’re learning about World of Warcraft, and while we can’t talk about everything, we’ll certainly give you a good idea of what it’s all about! Tutorial MMORPG – Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Developed and Created by Blizzard Entertainment, now Activision Blizzard Interactive. Based on previous MMOs, like Runescape, Ultima Online, Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, and many other game. Personal Favorite were Phantasy Star Online and Ragnarok Online Blizzard knows how to distill the core, fun elements of a game, rebuild it in their own image and what is fun about it, and then paint a rich narrative over the entire game to bring it to life. Blizzard is well known for their Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo franchises. A good studio that puts out quality games. History Beginning development in 1999-2000 around the same time as development on Warcraft 3. Elements from Warcraft 3 helped shape the story, character, world, and races of the upcoming World of Warcraft. Announced in 2001, released in late fall of 2004. Immediate success based of studio’s previous work and franchise of Warcraft a few years earlier. The game was a worldwide success, and quickly became the most popular and largest game in history. Additional expansion are released every two years to provide new mechanics, character classes and/or races, new locations to visit, and new stories/lore. Vanilla/Classic (2004) Initial incarnation of the game. Story takes place on Azeroth, a fictional, fantasy world with two major factions trying to bide for control over the world: The Alliance(Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, & Night Elves) The Horde (Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, &Undead(Forsaken)) Each control major areas of two continents and war against each other in an eternal struggle. Original story focused on a Dragon lord trying to come to power. Blood gods of the Trolls seeking to corrupt the world. Ancient bugs awakening from their slumber. And the Undead returning to finish the job. Classic versions of the original game were recently released in August of 2019 to allow players to play the original version of the game. The Burning Crusade (2006) Set in the world of Outland, the former home of Orcs. Alliance recruits the Dranaei. Horde recruits the Blood Elves. Story has us fighting against the Burning Legion, the universal evil bad guys set on destroying all life. Eventually to fight a big bad named Illidan Introduction of Flying in game Wrath of the Lich King (2008) Set on the continent of Northrend Introduced a new player class (Death Knights) for all races Story follows forcing trying to subdue the big bad Lich King from Warcraft 3 Marked what many feel is the high point of the game. 12 Million Subscribers high. Cataclysm (2010) Revamped the 1-60 game world, drastically altering the landscape of the game to allow flying and new game effects. Alliance recruits the Worgen. Horde recruit a faction of Goblins Some class/race combinations rebalanced for more options. Story follows heroes trying to stop the dragon ‘Deathwing’ from destroying the world. He’s the one that caused the world to sunder, otherwise known in game as ‘The Cataclysm’. New world also introduced a more dynamic story that would begin to play out over multiple expansions and lead in to the next one over time. Mists of Pandaria (2012) Set in the land of Pandaria, a place hidden in mist until the Cataclysm revealed it. Alliance and Horde recruit Panderians, New class known as the monk introduced. Story follows the Alliance and Horde bring war to a new place that hadn’t seen it and causing a mess. Eventually capped off with the Leader of the Horde trying to start a genocide of his own faction and his eventual downturn. Warlords of Draenor (2014) Returned to Outland before it became Outland, and even went back in time. Introduction of Garrisons as a major feature. Story followed form warchief going back in time to before the orcs were corrupted, and trying to build the Horde he always wish it would be. We would stop the new horde from advancing in to our world and taking it over. Game quickly begins to slow down, with the game being less than well received and considered lackluster. Entire raid content/patch was dropped. Legion (2016) Set in the Broken Isle, a lost location where the Burning Legion has returned thanks to Gul’dan from last expansion being sent to our world. Introduced the Demon Hunters to the game. Revamp of all Classes and specs to create dynamic, individual game play, and Order Halls. Story follows us trying to stop the burning Legion of returning and putting an end to their campaign once and for all. Many people happy about this expansion and considered a new high point. Battle for Azeroth (2018) Current expansion. Set on islands of Kul Tiras and Zandalar, forgotten lands in wow lore. We recruit new allied races to assist: Alliance gets Light Forged Dranaei, Void Elves, Dark Iron Dwarfs, Mechagon Gnomes, and Kul Tirans Horde get High Mountain Tauren, Nightborne, Mag’har Orcs, Vulpera, and Zandalari Trolls. Story initially starts as a continuation of the Horde vs Alliance, but quickly find the new WarchiefSylvanas trying to kill everyone for a secret agenda. Continued on success of Legion in story and gameplay. Shadowlands (2020) New expansion set in the land of the dead. Revamp of Order Halls and revamp of character abilities. Changing leveling process back to 60 cap level, making each expansion the 10-50 experience. Story revolves around Sylvanas opening up a portal/hole to the shadowlands, but for unknown reasons. Planned for 3rd quarter of 2020. Classes: Warriors – Heavy Plate soldiers, good at all weapons, great at tanking. Paladins – Holy Warriors, can do close combat, plus tanking, and Healing. Death Knights – Unholy knights, good at tanking, but channeling unholy skills to do damage Shamans – Nature warriors that call upon the raw elements to attack and heal. Hunters – Similar to rangers, good with all long range combat Rogues – Typical thief, can hide in stealth and strike enemies with ease. Druids – Shape-shifter that rely on nature magic to transform in to either healers, tanks, melee or ranged damage Monks – Barehanded warriors who are drunk tanks, quick melee fighters, or mystical healers. Demon Hunters – Similar to Illidan, these are warriors infused with demonic energy that can also be tanks Mage – Typical wizard channeling the fire, ice, or arcane magic Warlocks – Dark wizards that use fel and shadow to summon demons to do their bidding. Priests – Holy wizards that excel at healing, but have an unholy damage. Things to do in game: Leveling/Alts – Common is to level your character until max level, or start a new character and level up all over again Dungeons – 5 man groups tackling various smaller issues, usually relating/theming to current events/expansion Raids – 10-25 man groups tackling bigger dungeons, almost always related to the current events/story Player Vs Player – various areas, themed objectives, and open world fights between the Horde and Alliance. Pet Battles – Introduced in Cataclysm, think Pokemon with your in game pets Dailies – series of objectives that can be completed daily for various rewards Transmog – Hunting Gear or looks from various sources/objectives Role Playing – Popular amongst roleplay servers, allowing character to act out stories with their characters.

This is episode 56 and there are movements afoot. For instance, Transvaal President Paul Kruger is on his way to Europe on a diplomatic mission, Free State President Styen is moving through the Northern Transvaal, and General Louis Botha is harassing Canadian, Australian, and English troops stationed along the all important railway line between Pretoria and Delagoa Bay. Also moving through the veld are Generals Christiaan de Wet and Koos de La Rey. The former has made his way back into his beloved Free State, while the latter is making life difficult for the English across a broad swathe of the Transvaal. Steyn and the rest of the Free State government were returning to battle in the Free State after the all important meeting with Kruger in Nelspruit where it was decided to go ahead with the guerrilla campaign. The British, meanwhile, are considering winding down their forces in South Africa, with their commander in chief Lord Roberts planning his trip back home. The Boers have arranged a second major meeting of generals and government officials at Cyferfontein, a farm around 100 kilometres west of the gold ming city of Johannesburg set for October 25th. Steyn was en route here on his circuitous ride home, so too de le Rey and de Wet, while Botha would also rendezvous with these erstwhile Boer commanders. More about that gathering in coming podcasts. Lord Roberts has setup his army across South Africa to act more like police than soldiers. He believed the bandits, as he called these small groups of roaming Boers, would eventually surrender as long as their logistics could be smashed. So apart from ordering the farms destroyed close to where railway lines or bridges were blown up, he divided the country into areas of command. Garrisons were created in various towns and villages. To put down the insurgency in the countryside, he setup various flying columns. These were supposed to be highly mobile cavalry and mounted infantry units which were tasked with tracking down and trapping the Boer bands. In reality they could not obtain enough horses in order to achieve their main aim. However, the small bands of Boers began to multiply, and yet these flying columns could not locate the ever increasing commandos.
Should Blizzard try again with garrisons? And Eric has the best racial ability.

Convert to Raid Presents: The podcast for World of Warcraft and other Blizzard Games!
It’s been well over a year since our last new raid in WoW, and the CtR crew cannot wait until the Highmaul raid opens on Tuesday (Dec. 2)! So the guys have a special introduction to all of the new bosses and what you might be able to expect when you meet them for the first time. Patch 6.0.3 landed this week, and there were a number of fixes and changes in Blizzard’s first attempt for better class balance this expansion. The gang will go over some of the bigger spell changes and talk about how it might affect your play. Also, more tips and tricks for your Garrisons, early WoD stats from MMO-Champion, the new Blood Elf character models, and more on another fun-filled episode!
After getting a baseline for professions in Warlords of Draenor last week, I'm back just in the very nick of time this week to talk about what to expect in this first week of raiding in Highmaul. I talk in depth about Enchanting, Alchemy, Cooking, Crafted Epic Gear, and Darkmoon Trinkets - all after covering the big news on the dust buffs, the mine nerfs, and the updating of wowuction to include info on all the new professions.I also give a preview of content to come later this month for the show, including a spreadsheet I've been ironing out that's pre-loaded with all the stuff we can make with professions in Warlords of Draenor. Full show notes are, of course, available after the break - Enjoy!!Episode 31 of Late Nite With Stede - Show NotesIntroGood evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Episode 31 of the Late Nite With Stede Goldmaking Podcast. I’m your host, Stede Bonnet - and I want to thank you for listening. Before we launch into the opening of Highmaul this week, I wanna take a minute to let you know that you can find more Late Nite With Stede on my website - www.LNWS.net - you can also find the show on Stitcher & on iTunes - so if you like the show, be sure to subscribe. Alright, today is Monday, December 1st.===PODCAST NEWS===- On the last episode, I spent some time talking about how WoD was shaking out so far. It seems like it was weeks ago in terms of how much has happened since then. I’ve had a number of folks asking me what they should be making in order to make gold. The category pages on The Undermine Journal have yet to be updated, and given the variable nature of cooldown yields on toons - and via work orders - it’s a bit difficult to accurately calculate costs.Not that it’s a big problem at this point since most craftables that use soulbound cooldown reagents are bringing rain on the Auction House, but it’s one of those structural sticking points that may cause TUJ to take awhile in updating its information. Not to mention that Erorus, the creator of TUJ, now works at Wowhead and is probably pretty busy.Back on topic about the preview of tonight’s topic - I’ll be talking about what you need to know about making stuff now - the first week of raids - and how I think the rest of December is going to shake out in terms of profession markets.===WoW NEWS===We had a few big changes in game this week. Most notably the buff to disenchanting yields for dust. It seems like 4 times out of 5, rare items - that’s blues - will now DE into a bunch of dust - like 6-10 or so. This is causing a major correction in the dust and shard markets as shards become less common and therefore, more expensive - and dust settles down to values where it actually makes sense to start hitting your work orders.Which, a lot of you would think means cheaper crystals - since the work orders are now flowing once again. And you’d be right on the money - there are a lot more crystals sitting under 600g on my server than there were before this change. And that’s a market I’ll talk more about a bit later in the show.We also had a nerf to the yield rate from farming ore nodes in your garrison’s mine. Regular nodes give 2 ore, and rich ones give 4 - sometimes 5. The result was that - where I used to be running a surplus of ore on my toon with Blacksmithing & Jewelcrafting, using a L2 mine, I’m now running a slight deficit.It seems like a small tuning change, but imagine how that reverberates over tens of thousands of toons on a server. This is a correction that may take a bit longer to play out. And I think Blizzard was smart not to use the heavy hand here, because there are other factors that will be coming into play that will naturally nerf the amount of ore on the AH - which I will talk about a bit later.Last bit of news for this past week was that most all of the crafted gear got a 5 ilvl boost to the 3rd upgrade stage - which should help keep them competitive. Remember that your raid drops have fixed secondary stats, and may not be very useful for some specs.===Goldmaking NEWS===Wowuction has updated the profession pages on its site and the CSV feeds that some of you may be using in your spreadsheets are now correctly populating the item names for the crafted gear. This makes life so much easier for spreadsheeters and I want to give a tip of the hat to the wowuction folks on a job well done in a short amount of time.Myself, I’ve made a spreadsheet for all of the WoD crafts for every profession - because I have every profession. It’s given me a distinct advantage. Every single one of you has asked yourself this past week, “Okay, I have 100 soulbound cooldown mats - what do I make to get gold?” I know I ask myself that about 10x a day. And my SS is there to guide me. I know not everybody has Excel or likes SS’s though - so check out wowuction if you wanna dig around without having to ascend the the spires of geekdom that is Spreadsheeting the WoW AH. I also know that not everyone who likes using Spreadsheets is good at making them. I wanna share this with you guys, but I want it to be stable. And right now, it’s not. The reason I want it stable is because I don’t enjoy the tech support aspect of releasing spreadsheets. That’s why I built and released the Sandbox awhile back - to make it easier to make your own, so that I wasn’t answering questions instead of writing show notes :)I realize a lot of folks will be waiting on this, so my plan is to have it released by the end of the year.===AUDIOBLOG===This hands off nicely into a segment I want to start doing each show that’s more about my experience in the game. As you may know, I do more than make gold in-game. I lead a casual raid, I’m an officer in my guild, I’m looking to put together a Challenge Mode group in a month or so, and I’m slowly gearing up for PvP. I’m not a pro at any of it, but I hold my own and have fun.This week, I managed to get my core six to Garrison level 2 - that’s my main at L100, one alts at L98, and four more alts at L96, now. The L2 Profession Buildings are a huge help, as they give me more wiggle room for maintaining my alts.Now, 2 of my alts are Blacksmiths, and 2 more have The Forge on their Garrison. And yet somehow, none of those 4 guys had a Blacksmithing Follower. So this week, I ran out to Frostfire Ridge real quick and snagged one for each of them after a short quest line. I’m told it’s not that easy for you Alliance listeners, and I’ll try to follow up on that - but it’s important to be levelling your followers on your alts because once they’re at 100, they’re good for 10-12 Work Order mats a day instead of just 6.Blacksmithing is a priority for me because this week I decked out my main (which is my rogue) with a crafted cape, a Darkmoon Trinket, and a crafted Mainhand dagger - which I’d like to upgrade to max level just as soon as I can.At the same time that I’m managing all this, I’m also trying to help guildmates. Some are Jewelcrafters who really want top notch enchants, others are Engineers who really want some plate gear. So I’m trying to make trades when I can to help folks out there. Then I’ve some who’ve seen just how insanely melee-heavy my raid group is shaping up to be and have voluntarily re-rolled either ranged or healing classes - and I’m trying to help them too.So crafted gear is a bit more than make it and post it for me - but it’s been fun, and I still have plenty of stuff to sell. I started the expansion with about 275k gold liquid, after rerolling on the new server over the summer and getting my alts to L90 with maxed professions. Now I’m sitting just over 475k - up about 200k from launch.Which is pretty good when I think about how much I’ve sunk into blueprints and upgrades and stuff - as well as the gold I’ve missed by using a handful of crafts for myself. With raids opening this week, I expect that train to keep on rolling.A week ago, I made a guild event to hit Molten Core and we had a solid 10 folks show up and Queue, but I guess we weren’t the right classes because we sat in Q for 90 minutes before I ended up calling it. Over the weekend, I tried again, but made us a premade group using the LFG tool and barked it in Trade and on OpenRaid - we filled in 20 minutes and the Q popped after 10 minutes - which was really not too bad.I also got assigned as the RL in there, so I spent most of my time marking targets and herding folks around while my GM handled banning the inevitable trolls from vent while Zerohour rallied the group to votekick them. The funny part on that guy was that he got kicked from vent and the instance, but was still in the raid group for a few minutes while I fumbled through console commands to kick him while he wasn’t actually on my instance frames.Moral of the story - and this is what I told the guy - don’t troll the RL’s vent and expect to stay in group. So after a couple hours, we cleared the raid, I got personally thanked for leading by a handful of folks, which was nice, grabbed that ridiculous helm, which was quickly mogged back to my Gold CM gear from the last expansion, and snagged the mount. As I left the instance, I gave myself a pat on the back for navigating the Queue and the group as well as anyone could expect, and vowed never again to return to - close your ears kids - such a colossal clusterfuck just to have a chance at looting the pet.No, for that amount of time, I’ll buy it off the AH. That’s why we make gold, ladies and gents - to spend it on grindy crap we really want but don’t have time to deal with. Well - I have the time - but the rest of this expansion is just made so much better that I’d rather spend it doing those other things.Which brings me to Ashran - if you guys can just bear with my ranting for another minute or two. Ashran was a steamroll at launch so Blizzard added in some kind of load-balancing. I thought - this was gonna be like Tol Barad - where you’d just get put in a Queue for 10-15 minutes, max, until the other team got enough folks that you could get in without it being unbalanced. No, Ashran is a train wreck where folks can sit in Queue for an hour or 2 and never get in. I’ve no idea what the heck happened because Blizzard can do a better job than this - I know - I’ve seen them do it - ironically, in the most universally reviled expansion, the World PvP zone Q system was better than this. And that leaves me as a sad panda - because pandas didn’t have a PvP zone - which is effectively where I’m at now. And I loved Tol Barad, and was really excited for Ashran. I know they’re still working on it - and I just hope they listen and get it sorted soon. Blizzard has made a bunch of really awkward steps since launch, but I can say they’re busting their asses to get it right and make it fun.Until then - no Ashran for me. And those are my personal stars this week - let’s get to talking about what you guys need to know about making gold this week.TOPIC: Making Gold the First Week of HighmaulLast week we talked about what was happening after launch. This week we turn our focus to the raids that are opening. In a lot of ways, this is like a content patch - with new raids opening up. You want to be stockpiling consumables to get ready for the coming onslaught of demand as millions of players smelt their plowshares and mining picks into swords and charge headlong into Highmaul. My hope is that the content will be challenging.That would help us all as goldmakers, as several professions are focused around crafting gear rather than item enhancements now. Of course, this would mean that LFR - which releases later - would become a relevant part of the gearing path - a fact that Blizzard explicitly stated they wanted to avoid, and a concept that I, as a raider, happen to agree with. But I also want to see craftable epics have some legs, and I know that the first tier of every expansion is usually a doozy.Which is why I’ve to chuckle at the guilds recruiting in Trade chat for “Casual Mythic Raiding”.GearBut let’s talk some more about gear while we’re there. While my first pieces of crafted gear flew off the shelf at 40 to 45k, we’ve fallen into a 15-30k range over the last week. If your trade chat is as warped as mine, you’ve no doubt seen the masses crying foul over these prices and predicting with righteous indignation the coming freefall once raids open.I don’t think that’s gonna happen. As Zerohour said to me - once raids open, folks are gonna start to lose track of their Garrisons and focus on raiding on their mains instead. Just like the farms in MoP - eventually people get bored or find other things to spend their time on and they just - move on.I expect us to soon get to the point where the big money market shifts to the upgrade tokens - and if you’ve listened to the shows I did before launch, then you’ve heard me say this - make base-level items on your toons with the building, but not the profession - and make the tokens on your toons that have the profession.This is another reason why it’s important to get those alts up to L100 - to unlock L3 of your Garrison and be able to build that 3rd Small Building. You’ll notice that the biggest limiting reagent for these upgrade tokens is, as I predicted, the Savage Bloods. With a L100 follower assigned to my L3 Barn, I’m averaging just over 1 per day from trapping. Which isn’t bad; but it isn’t great either.You’re probably gonna want to try to keep up with your alts’ garden and mine - just to build up a stock of Primal Spirits to trade for the bloods. Of course, there’s always the AH, but you have to use your judgement there as to whether or not you can make a profit. This is an entirely new market.In all, I think crafted gear will actually see a boost in the next few weeks - if not necessarily in pricing, then in velocity. Raids should show folks just how unprepared they are and encourage them to seek upgrades wherever they can find them. And no place is more convenient, and guaranteed, than the AH.EnhancementsOf course, with each new piece of gear there’s potential that it will need to be gemmed or enchanted. Jewelcrafting seems to be in a bit of a bad way in terms of gems. Many lesser gems are flooded because they can be crafted until max skill - and the mats are cheap, and most don’t include Taladite Crystals - the soulbound cooldown material. So folks powerlevelling JC to boost their CD mat production on the cheap have really done a number on that market.The greater gems just don’t seem to be moving for me, but I only have the mastery cut. And I may be pricing myself too high. When a lesser gem goes for 50g - tops - and gives +35 to a stat versus a greater gem that give +50 - how much more can we expect folks to pay? Don’t forget that the Sorcerous Air alone jack the cost up by 4-10x of the lessers. On top of that, the Taladite Crystals required are just half of what it’s cost to make a piece of ilvl 640 jewelry.So the tuning on this just feels weirder than seeing Pee-Wee Herman back on TV. And while I’m in that market and hopeful - the reality is that it’s just a way to diversify because all the leftover JCs from MoP are posting a lot of jewelry.And Jewelry is hot. Mainly for healers who are looking for Spirit. We haven’t heard the wailing and gnashing of gums that we had in early Cataclysm over the lack of mp5, but I’m sure Spirit is gonna be in much higher demand once we get into raids.Enchanting is red hot. Folks are damn proud of their ilvl 680 rings and want the best enchants on em. And what good is patiently waiting for your BiS stats to roll on a crafted piece of jewelry if you don’t spend another 20% on the enchant? I’m seeing ring enchants sell like hellacious hotcakes on Christmas in Siberia - the dust buff was just in the nick of time to boost the supply of crystals so I could turn enchanting into my new favorite market - where the main players are the high rollers who aren’t scared to drop 20k on mats in a day and still feel like they’re not hitting it as hard as they should.I’ve yet to sell a weapon enchant, but I’m betting that it’s coming. My advice - stock up on crystals. They may drop in price later but for me, the margins are fat enough to eat it. And if they work like every other enhancement market in the history of this game - the margins will only increase as the competition runs dry of supply.Speaking of supply - I want to address one question I’ve heard while we’re talking about this stuff. What about all the crystals folks will be DE’ing out of raid? What - you mean in like two months when they’re not climbing over each other to blow their entire billfold of DKP on it? I think it’s gonna be awhile before we see that - even longer considering that some groups may opt to use personal loot and I don’t think epics can be DE’d at a buddy’s Garrison. But keep your eyes open.ConsumablesOf course we can’t talk about raids launching now without talking about consumables. Thanks to Blizzard’s tuning, we’re seeing most potions cost more than the lesser flasks. Of course, we also have a bit of a limit on how many greater flasks we can make, but since the Alchemy cooldown material required to make them is NOT soulbound, that restriction is more of a nuisance than a real deterrent.But potions are where I think the money will be. Because meat just isn’t in the kind of supply that’s necessary and Alchemists are used to focusing on flasks for the lion’s share of their profits. Of course int pots take fish, not meat and those prices are in the crapper because fishbots.If you’ve been selling pots, then for Pete’s sake - stop. Wait until raid nights (Tuesday - Thursday in the US) and then gouge all the Johnny-Come-Latelys. Until then, you ought to treat this as any other patch - stockpile now - don’t sell for 100g now what you can sell for 200g tomorrow.And lastly there’s food. Fish feasts are, of course, not profitable - because why? That’s right, because fishbots. They don’t feed a lot of people anyway and the stats are just +75. Raiders with a L3 Garden can probably manage to use the food from their fruit tree to get by in a pinch anyhow. Meat feasts are god-awful expensive and the mats are likely better used for pots. But - if you can manage to find cheap leftovers of other folks levelling their cooking on the AH, and you’re a max lvl cook yourself - then it may be worth having a look at.Otherwise, cooking is dead. The L2 Barn killed you, and exclusively produces +100 stat feasts that feed 30 ppl - the max number for a flex raid. The good news for Goblins is that these are made only via work orders, and as such, there is a daily cap on them. May God have mercy on the raid that hasn’t stockpiled these in advanced for the shrewd goblin will offer none. I’d treat these like the old Cobalt Ore or Huge Emeralds - buy em to stock during off-peak times and then reset just before showtime - they’ll sell - especially once we get a couple weeks into raiding and folks burn through their initial stockpile.TrinketsLast - I wanted to take a minute or two to talk about trinkets. While crafted weapons start at a mere 630 ilvl, trinkets get to 640. Many of these are BiS pre-raid barring some lucky warforged socket drop from heroics. Plus they can be upgraded and have main stats. For casters, who don’t rely as much on weapon damage, I’d expect that these trinkets may even take some priority over crafted weapons. But I’m not a simulations guy, so I won’t swear to it.The base-level trinkets are good and they scale decently with their ilvl compared to others. They’re not BiS overall by a longshot - mostly because they max out at ilvl 670, but that’s not their fault. Of course making these trinkets is easy since we don’t have to wait for the DMF to come to town to do it - so it’s worth keeping an eye on to snatch the occasional cheap card to build decks.Whether these are more important than weapons isn’t entirely the point though - even if they’re not, they’re still gonna be the second slot that gets upgraded (if not the first) for all classes - assuming they bought a base level one. So you scribes out there - just remember - ever DMF trinket you sell now is a potential upgrade sale later.Winding DownThat about wraps up thoughts on crafted gear and consumables going into this week. I’d like to do some in-depth guides to each profession as we move forward, but I’m not yet decided on whether that’s something I’ll just post on the blog or if I’ll do a show on it. The previews were helpful but I think some contemporary advice would be a lot more useful.I also wanna work on that Spreadsheet that I mentioned at the top of the show, too. So I figure I’ve got 2 or 3 more shows left in me before Christmas and then I’ll take a break for a couple weeks and start the 2015 season of Late Nite With Stede. Lots of cool stuff in the Queue to talk about, though - notwithstanding the regular flow of events that gives me more to yak about.===Q&A===Question & AnswerSpecial Thanks:I’d like to give a special thanks to my new listeners and followers on Twitter this week - I don’t wanna embarass you too much, but it’s always great to see fresh faces asking bottom-line questions.OuttroGood luck out there against all those bosses this week. Don’t overdo it, and remember- if you’re not making gold - I’ve got a name for you: Customer.
On this episode of The AIE Podcast... The triumphant return of the Guildie of the Month! Did you see that trailer? Garrisons, Garrison, Garrisons! Have you preordered the Shadows of Revan yet? Abovan is here to talk about Final Fantasy All that and more coming up right now... Podcast Audio Raw Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y2IqoOkq2k AIE General Guildie of the Month - AIE would like to congratulate our Guildie of the Month for December: Thuggs of AIE WoW! For those of you who do not know, Thuggs coordinated an event in World of Warcraft that helped over 130 people obtain a special weapon from the final boss of Mists of Pandaria, Garrosh Hellscream. This weapon, called an Heirloom, levels with the player up to 100. It is also transferable to alts. AIE's Guildie of the Month program is our way to acknowledge outstanding members in our community. If you know someone who you think deserves to be recognized please send an email to officers@aie-guild.org (we are in the process of getting a new email set up, will update that as new arises). Nominations for January's GotM will be accepted until December 13th, 2014. This is a guild wide program, nominations will be accepted for members from any game division. Regardless of whether you're a fan of the franchise or not, it's hard to deny the impact the Star Wars movies have had on the world. Last week, Lucasfilm announced the next movie in the series, Episode 7 The Force Awakens, will hit the screen on December 18th, 2015. They also published a teaser trailer, which spread across the Internet like wildfire. http://www.starwars.com/films/star-wars-episode-vii-the-force-awakens Zod Step-down announcement AIE World of Warcraft One of the coolest new feature of Warlords of Draenor is undoubtedly the Garrisons- and Thoribas on the forums was kind enough to post some great info from MMO Champion about highly useful ad-ons, Master Plan and Garrison Mission Manager. Having issues with level up followers because as soon as one follower hit 100, all missions became level 99-100? Blizzard has hot fixed the mission set up to create three brackets 90-94, 95-99, and 100. Each bracket can have 3-6 missions as long as you have a follower in that bracket. Thanks to Miy on the forums for letting us know. With membership spiking to 10 Million for World of Warcraft, AIE has seen a major influx of new and returning players thanks to Warlords- the WOW officers request your continued patience as we manage the queue. AIE EVE Online Lanctharus would like to remind all EVE players to sign up for Fleet-up. Fleet-up is the service they use to schedule corporation operations, which you can sync to your favorite desktop or mobile app, and give fleet commanders easy ways to prepare for and review missions, see what kinds of content the team can handle, see how they can improve, and more. If you're playing EVE and not in Fleet-up, you are missing out on a lot. And if you're not playing EVE,CCP released a video last week that might draw you into it. The video is called “This is EVE”, and shows off some of the high points of the game. Shot entirely in game and voiced by actual players carrying out missions, it's a pretty thrilling look at what goes on in the deep dark recesses of space. If you haven't seen it, we'll have a link in the show notes, and there's a link to it in the AIE EVE forums. AIE SWTOR We will have Max on next week to tell us more, but the all new expansion, Star Wars, The Old Republic: Shadows of Revan drops on December 9th- and your last chance to preorder for all of the goodies is Tomorrow! Bonuses include a Subscriber Exclusive Class XP bonus, as well as a grand statue of Revan for your Stronghold. There is a great discussion on the forums around what changes to expect with 3.0, particularly around the new commendation conversion and caps. And with that, let's get back to (Abovan) and find out what's going on in (Final Fantasy)... GAME NEWS FFXIV Fan fest

I focused a lot on the breakpoints in levelling your toons with regards to unlocking the abilities of your Garrison. This week is gonna cover a lot of ground as I talk about the good, the bad, and the rest of WoD so far.===WoW NEWS===We know that raids don’t open until December 2nd, but this past Friday, Molten Core opened up via LFR as part of WoW’s 10-year anniversary celebration. Not only are there pets & a mount that players can snag for a limited time, but there’s also an ilvl 640 helm to be looted.So make a mental note - don’t craft ilvl 640 helms to sell on the AH. The flip side of all this is that players need to have an ilvl of 615 to queue, and the queue / clear is a bit arduous - with most folks taking 2-3 hours to clear the entire instance.This means that consumables, gear, and enchants will get an early boost as folks make an early foray into raiding via LFR to snag the new shinies.Which is fortunate, because - if there’s anything that we’ve learned this week - it’s that demand is dictating prices.===Goldmaking NEWS===Blizzard pulled a 360 in less than 24 hours this week by first taking the axe to personal loot in LFD, and then adding it back in while guaranteeing groups that use it a 630-drop in every pot when you kill the last boss in any heroic dungeon.Expect this to stabilize shard prices a bit as there was an initial glut from questing, followed by a relative void at max level.TOPIC: The Good, The Bad, & The Rest: WoD So FarLast weekend I was so busy playing and trying to follow everything that I literally didn’t have time to do a show. That could’ve been the case again this weekend, but I’ve made it a point to talk about all the stuff on my mind before I forget it all. So far, I’ve only a single L100 toon - my main, my rogue. But my other 5 alts are L96, L94, L94, L95, & L95 so far - and I’m pretty happy with the progress.But enough yakkin - it’s Thanksgiving week in America, and that’s where I’m freezing my ass off right now, so let’s talk Turkey.The GoodLet’s talk about the good stuff in WoD so far:Questing is smooth. The bonus objectives are very intuitive and rewarding, making rotating alts through rested easier and actually enjoyable. Treasures follow the same pattern of being rewarding and fun to find.I find that a lot of the systems in play for goldmaking are very linear in how they initially build - while mines and gardens give a quick shot in the arm to your materials stash, they require an honest bit of levelling before they can be unlocked, and the items you’ll later craft follow a similar pattern.WoW is up to over 10 million customers now - I mean subscribers. That means even more folks who will buy our stuff. And there’s a solid handful or three of folks to whom gold is nary an object - who’re willing to go to 5 & 6 digits to buy the gear they need - thank god for them.The currency CD system for learning new patterns is awesome because it allows us to enter markets with little competition to maximize our profit potential. If you’re an engineer with 100 Gearspring Parts, but see that there are 5 other Guns listed on the AH, you can make pets instead.Goldmaking is democratized even further by the current system. Some folks may see this as encouraging competition - a bad thing. It’s not. The reason why it’s not is because 99% of the playerbase are not goldmakers. And yet they’re making things - things that they may not need as much as other things. But they want those other things, and they’re willing to trade ---- And since our inventory of the best items is gated, being able to make saavy trades is something that’s certainly worth considering. This is something that’s common to markets like DMCs, but newer to epic gear.The BadBad stuff of course includes all technical difficulties we’ve encountered over the last week and a half as well as some other things:Wildly fluctuating prices. If you’ve been watching it, you saw it first happen to ore, then to herbs. As more and more people unlocked their mine & their garden, we saw the prices cascade downward. Initially this allowed some opportunities for price resets, but in time, we’ve learned that a L2 Mine can feed a toon with BOTH BS & JC - and a L3 simply builds a surplus.There is no unlimited dump for ore in this expansion, so it just backs up onto the AH.We saw Herbs start to follow a similar, but delayed, trend at the end of this week as more folks hit L96 and unlocked their gardens. As a result, herb prices have dropped, as well - but not to the same extent as ore.While ore has no market to dump into, herbs still have everything from MoP but shoulder enchants, including glyphs. On top of that, Jewelcrafting and cooking recipes now even make use of herbs.We’ll probably see herbs level out a bit higher than ore soon.60 pages of ore. All because some jackass decided to post 200 singles - cratch that, there’s usually a half dozen of these guys. And spending 3 minutes scanning a single item at this point in the expansion that’s only worth 2g a shot is a waste of time. It’s a strange game, indeed - as the only winning move is not to play -- how about a nice epic gear market?Easily accessible markets, no matter how often they’re reset, are managing to crash. This is a prime example of the old saying, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” Each item in the game, even this early, is worth whatever is purchaser will pay for it. The hard part is that it’s really tough to know what that number is when we don’t have data on it.Developing a sense for what folks will spend in the absence of data is an artform practiced and often failed at by even the most successful goblins.Pigs get rich, Hogs get slaughtered - don’t overdo it.The RestAll that’s very general. Personally, I’m now trying to get all my toons to L96 so that I can unlock the Garden and L2 small buildings. This is important to me because I’ve been waking up before work to hit my Garrisons. They take around 6 or 7 minutes each, if I’m not also trying to craft items - just gather materials, hit my cooldowns, punch in a few missions, and feed my work orders. It adds up across six toons, but if I can knock it all out in the morning, it lets my evenings be a bit more relaxed.Problem is that with L1 buildings, I can only Queue up 28 hours of work orders, so if I hit em in the morning one day, and then sleep in on the next day, then I’m missing out on Work Orders. And that sucks. So L96 is a big deal just for that - not to mention the help it provides in feeding my Scribe, my Alchemist, and all the Scribe’s Quarters I’ve built.There were some things I’ve been proven wrong about, but the biggest one was the usefulness of extra Enchanter’s studies. Before I start - I wanna make this point - I stand by my assessment of Enchanting as an awesome profession - even as an awesome profession to have more than 1 of.But if you wanna build an Enchanter’s Study on a toon that is not an Enchanter, then be prepared to lose gold. As it stands, dust on my server fluctuates between 20 & 30 gold a piece. That means that feeding a work order costs between 100 & 150 gold. A day’s worth is 600 - 900 gold, and it gets me about 7 fractured crystals. Remember it takes 10 of these to make a big crystal. Meanwhile, I can regularly find big crystals on the AH for under 500g.You may want to run your own math, but for the most part, it’s not worth doing work orders on your Enchanter. Which means there’s no point in having an enchanter’s study on a non-enchanter. The recipes, though, take time to unlock, and the Shard->Crystal cooldown is still worth ~500g a day on its own on my server. So Enchanters rock, but non-Enchanter posers - they suck.All this is due to the fact that we have neither a shuffle nor a downconversion for dust. The only source of dust is from green drops. Green drops are a perfectly linear market in terms of their sourcing. If you grind 10 minutes and get 2 greens, you can expect that in 30 minutes, you’ll have 6. There are no bonus rewards for the first 5 minutes of every day like there are for ore in your Mine and Herbs in your Garden. It’s play to pay, all the way.I will say, that my gut tells me that high level enchanters seem to get a larger yield for dust when disenchanting, but don’t go quoting me on it.My advice is to sell your dust and use the gold to buy crystals when your market looks like mine. As Zerodamus tells us, “If you build it, it will become mandatory.” Folks will pay whatever to feed their cooldowns - even if they lose gold on it. Somebody is gonna sell em that overpriced dust - it might as well be you.Switching gears a bit, I can say Herbalism and Mining both had brief moments in the sun, and now have fallen into the shadows as most folks get enough of each from their Garrisons. Skinning, however, has turned out to be a great profession on my main, as leathers have levelled off at about 20g a shot. I like to farm around Ogu’Shun in Nagrand because the L100 mobs give a better yield. But don’t come out there on my server >:|That means Leatherworking as probably the most expensive profession to feed currently as I need 55 Leathers a day to keep up with it - if there’s ever even a couple times that much posted. That’s good for me that I’m a Skinner / Leatherworker, because it represents a large barrier to entry.Alchemy is in a bit of a bad way. Potions require fish to make, and many are crashed. The reason is because people are fish botting on their Garrison - where nobody will report them. This gives them as many fish as they want. So my advice is to stay away from fish-based potions like Intellect. Make sure you buy raw fish or fish flesh to make your own crescent oil, too - because these dweebs are so lazy they don’t even bother.But Alchemy, is overall doing well, despite that noise. Be sure to keep your eyes open - Greater flasks take Lesser flasks to make, but sometimes it’s cheaper to buy the Lessers off the AH than to make them yourself.The other professions are doing well. My 3rd buildings have been the Forge and Scribe’s Quarters on my toons, with a Tannery coming down the line. I had to tear down an Enchanter’s Study on my dual gatherer because it wasn’t doing me any good.I’ve managed to sell a lot of stuff, and I’ve just started making positive profit in the last few days over all the gold I spent setting up - which is a great feeling. I do wanna talk about Medium buildings though. Initially I built the Barn on all six of my toons to unlock the L3 plans sooner. Afterwards, I tore them all down on my 5 alts because I realized it meant I was getting Garrison Resources a lot slower. I replaced those with Trading Posts on those five guys. The Trading Post asks for 5 of a certain herb, ore, cloth, etc. for its work orders. The material it asks for changes each day and each work order yields 30 Garrison Resources. So I can mail a couple stacks of the mat-du-jour around as I’m hitting my mines & cooldowns and snag 180 extra GR every day that I wanna feed it. Now, sometimes it’ll ask for something stupid like dust, and I’ll just not feed it that day.And that sucks, but it’s usually a good deal without being unweildy to manage - like if I had, say, 6 lumber mills.I kept the Barn on my main and slogged through treasures and rares to upgrade his Garrison to L3. I immediately built the Trading Post as my 2nd Medium building and I love it. It’s a great shot in the arm to my GR collection. To answer your question, YES - you CAN build an AH on your trading post. HOWEVER - it’s a slog and a half. I’m expecting it to take me 3-4 weeks to gather all the necessary drops for it. You may find that there’s a market for those things (they work a bit like the DMF items in that some drop only from PvP, others only from world zones, others only from raids, others only from dungeons). I haven’t checked it, but I use a single bank alt atm anyway.My Barn just hit L3 a couple days ago, and it’s still processing the meaty beasts that were queued from back then. I’ve become pretty good at trapping the elites, but I’ve no idea what the yield rate on the Savage Blood is yet - or what I’ll do with it when I get it. I feel like the 640 pieces are where it’s at right now.Which is probably the last thing I wanna talk about. This weekend, we’re seeing the first crafted pieces hitting the AH. It’ll be interesting to see how prices react now that everyone can make these shinies, but the margins are THICK, so I’m getting my shots in while I can. THEN I’ll worry about the upgrade items. This week will be interesting because we’ll see what happens in those markets.I feel like 6 toons is gonna be all I really wanna deal with in WoD. They do require a lot of maintenance, but they’re at least manageable and I don’t wanna ruin that. Full coverage is an absolute boon, especially considering that the unbound crystals and alchemical catalysts really open those professions up a lot.I feel like I’m making great progress and am poised to make good gold for many months to come. But I didn’t get there by simply sticking to the plan at all costs - there were plenty of miscues, missteps, and adjustments that i had to make. That’s part of what makes it all so fun.I hope you guys all had a great launch week and, like me, are at least starting to see some bright lights flashing gold coins at you.===Q&A===Question & AnswerSpecial Thanks:I’d like to give a special thanks to Gissa, Zerohour, Medvayne, & Slickrock this week - as well as to all my guildies that listen to the show and chat me up as I’m logging around all my toons. Half the fun in this for me is having other folks to talk about it with.OuttroS: Hope you make a fortune with your epics this week, and come back next week as we keep yakking about how it’s all playing out. Until then, just remember, if you’re not making gold - I’ve got a name for you: Customer.
Hey everyone! This week on the show we talk about World of Warcraft’s huge boost in subscribers, the 10 year Anniversary Event, and what our experiences have been in Draenor now we’ve had time to get stuck in. We’ll be covering dungeons, gearing up, Ashran, Garrisons, the story, and what’s next in our journey through Draenor. All of that, and loads more, in Geeks of Azeroth Episode 19!
On this episode of The AIE Podcast... AIE is in ALL the games A few big things happened in WOW this week Feast with your LOTRO Kin! The mysteries of Genesis Prime are no longer a mystery And we get to guest on our own podcast All that and more coming up right now... Podcast Audio Raw Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxxL-5uhxAM AIE General First up, we want to give a shout-out to Mefe, who has published an album of Christmas music. There are five Christmas carols, each recorded in a different style using different instruments, and sung by some very talented kids. The album is called Light of Life, and you can find it on iTunes and Bandcamp. (Zod: I gave them a listen this afternoon, and they're very good.) If you're a PlayStation 4 player, Syn started a thread in the community forums for everyone to post their PSN handle. Quite a few people have posted theirs, so jump in there and start gaming with AIE on your PS4 We are halfway through NaNoWriMo, the yearly challenge to write a 50-thousand--word novel in 30 days, and a number of AIE members are plugging right along on their books. If you're taking the NaNoWriMo challenge, let us know, and if you finish your novel and want to offer it up for AIE members to read, send us a link! Of course WoW is the big news this week, but they're not the only game out there. There are hundreds of games, from big MMOs to Facebook games, to little mini mobile games, and AIE plays them all. To find people playing your favorite game, check out the Minor League Games subforum in the Community section of the forums. AIE members are also all around the world, and the next best thing to playing games with AIE, is hanging out in real life. AIE has a page at Meetup.com where you, yes you, can arrange your own meetups with other AIE members. Whether it's playing some board games, or grabbing a meal and a movie, or getting together at a major convention, Meetup.com is our real life Looking For Group! AIE World of Warcraft Major kudos to Thuggs the AIE hunter for taming Gara. Gara is a cool-looking spirit wolf that came out with Warlords of Draenor, and taming it is a lot more involved than just tossing it a few scooby snacks. There's an epic quest line that takes you all over Draenor. It's probably the most involved hunter beast taming in the game. So again, way to go Thuggs, Thanks to Heirbuch for posting this reminder - Blizzard has stopped characters from earning rested experience until you log into them at least once, so if you have some lvl 90s parked someplace waiting their turn to go into the Dark Portal, be sure to log in on them at least once. If you're a little confused about Garrisons, and especially which remote outposts to choose, AIE member Miy posted a link to a “How to choose garrison outposts for leveling” guide. that walks you through all the choices for remote outposts and suggests which one you might want to pick, if your focus is on leveling. And finally, if you didn't know, Blizzard has removed the feature that awarded gold to guild banks when members are out questing and looting mobs. Because of this, we have no new gold flowing into our guild banks. We've always allowed our guild banks to be used to cover a certain amount of member's repair bills each day, but with the increased expenses from everyone leveling, and with no gold coming in, we've decided to decrease the limit you can use for repairs each day, to try to make the gold stretch a little longer before it's all gone.

After talking all about professions and planning your buildings on your Garrison last week, this week I focus on the last minute details you'll need to make your Launch Week a success. Tune in as I talk about the importance of levelling profession alts, and the breakpoints you need to know about to maximize your Cooldowns, and your goldmaking in your first days in Draenor.I realize that this show has a lot of information that I cover in a relatively short amount of time. So, to save you the hand cramps, I'm including my show notes below the break - Enjoy!Episode 29 of Late Nite With Stede - Show NotesIntroGood evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Episode 29 of the Late Nite With Stede Goldmaking Podcast. I’m your host, Stede Bonnet - and I want to thank you for listening. Before begin our last show of Mists of Pandaria, I wanna take a minute to let you know that you can find more Late Nite With Stede on our website - www.LNWS.net - you can also find the show on Stitcher & on iTunes - so if you like the show, be sure to subscribe. Alright, today is Sunday, November 9th===PODCAST NEWS===- Last week we had a quick show that talked about which “extra” profession buildings were best in terms of goldmaking. Most were around the middle of the pack, but there was at least 1 big loser and a few familiar winners. So if you missed that show or you have no idea what I’m talking about - I think it’d be worth your while to go back and check out Episode 28.We’ve covered an awful lot of ground in the last 7 episodes of the show - all the way to a garrisons overview to a deep dive through every single primary profession to ratings and rankings of goldmaking potential for each one and their associated garrison buildings.It’s taken a lot of research and digging - particularly since I did not have any access to the beta. So if you’ve managed to follow me through all of that - lemme just say thanks :)-This week, I’ve got another great show for you guys. A lot of the info I’m gonna talk about has been out there for awhile now - it’s just not the easiest thing in the world to corral it all in one place. But it has been done - on The Consortium Forums, in the General Discussion Forum, my fellow Wind Trader, UtesDad has written a great guide to Garrisons for the Goblin. It complements the information I’ve been going through lately.It’s great timing that this came out just this weekend because it goes along with tonight’s topic perfectly. Because tonight, we’re gonna talk about getting your garrisons setup as quickly and efficiently as possible at launch.===WoW NEWS===No WoW news this week - we’re all locked in tight for Warlords of Draenor.===Goldmaking NEWS===Only thing noteworthy I picked up this week came from Blizzcon. I’d previously thought Spirit only rolled on rings & necklaces. Turns out it can roll on cloaks, too. So I expect Tailors and Leatherworkers to be using or selling those reroll tokens so healers can get their Spirit stats on those crafted cloaks.TOPIC: How to Plan Your Launch WeekendAs I mentioned a few minutes ago, UtesDad has a great guide on The Consortium’s General Discussion forum that I recommend you all take some time to go read. You can find the forums at www.STORMSPIRE.net.Scalable SystemsSo, let’s get started and set the stage. We know that damn near everything worth making in Warlords is gonna require daily cooldown materials. What we’re all worried about is the new cooldown system. In expansions past, alts were able to pop cooldowns without ever having to leave the safety and comfort of their capital cities.As long as you fed your little alts they were happy to get pet once a day and do their job printing gold. In Warlords, they flipped the script on us. You want to grind your professions to max level in Orgrimmar or *god forbid* Stormwind? Fuhgiitabowtit. You can’t even unlock the max cap on professions without going into Draenor and questing. So dust off those alts, get em all levelled to 90, and get some gear on em, because Warlords of Draenor demands that profession alts get Savage.On top of that, the cooldowns on your alts now yield more materials as you level that toon to 100. At level 90, your yield is 4, but at level 100, the yield is 10. So there’s a big difference in how quickly you’re able to craft items and also in terms of how much it’s going to cost you to make the cooldown materials needed to craft an item.In addition to the Scaling Cooldowns on your toon, we also have cooldowns on our Garrison Buildings in the form of Work Orders. You can Queue these up and they tick off once every 4 hours - at the start, they give you 1 extra cooldown material every tick - for a total of 6 extra per day. But, once your building gets to L2, then you can assign a follower to work at the building.If that follower has the corresponding skill for the building - like Blacksmithing for a Forge - he can occasionally net you an extra CD material on one of these Work Order ticks. In addition, as you level the follower to L100, the likelihood of getting that extra CD material goes up. At full tilt, it’s been said that you can snag 20 CD mats a day between your toon and your Garrison Building.BreakpointsSo given all of this, it’s most important to understand where the breakpoints are in these Scalable Systems. Breakpoints may have been removed for Haste, but they’re very much alive in Goldmaking.#1 - Level 90 Bunker BuilderSetting up your Garrison is one of the first things you do after getting through the first zone in Darenor. You’ll be able to build just a single profession building, and you won’t be able to get it past Level 1. But - you will be able to start the clock on the passive generation of Garrison Resources - which will be a very important step. Every building you make on your Garrison costs GR - and you only get so many at a time. You can build the Medium building - the Lumber Mill - which will help you acquire GR faster through Active Play - BUT - you can’t build that until you hit ~L92 and are able to level your Garrison up to L2.With the passive GR generation started, and one of your professions now able to give you 6 more CD mats per day, this becomes your first very important breakpoint in levelling. #2 - Level 92 Second Stage Fort FarmerClose to L92 is when we can expect to unlock the upgrade to a Level 2 Garrison. This allows you to build a 2nd profession building, and a Medium Building - Like a Barn or a Lumber Mill. You still won’t be able to level any of these buildings up to L2, but you will be able to get the extra CD mats from your 2nd profession building. And if you’re building a Barn, you’ll be able to start getting Work Orders done as progress towards unlocking the L3 plans, which currently take 3 weeks to unlock running at full blast from the time you start. Remember - you need an L3 Barn in order to harvest Savage Blood.In addition, at L92, your Garrison unlocks the Mine, allowing you to farm ore every day, regardless of whether you are a miner.#3 - Level 96 Kicking it up a Notch At Level 96, things get interesting. You’re able to start upgrading your profession buildings to L2, which will also allow you to start assigning Followers to those buildings, giving you a chance to snag extra CD mats from your Work Orders. Also, at L96, you unlock the Garden on your Garrison, allowing you to farm herbs every day on your Garrison regardless of whether you are an herbalist.#4 - Level 98 - Kicking it up Another NotchAt L98, you unlock the L2 Plans for your Medium Buildings. This is important for anyone who is building a Barn, as this upgrade allows you to create the most powerful Feasts using your Barn’s Work Order system.#5 - Level 100 The Final GoalAt Level 100, you’re able to level your Garrison to L3. This unlocks your 3rd profession building, along with your 2nd Medium building and 2nd Large Building. It also unlocks the ability to take your Large Buildings to L3. You’re also unable to level any individual buildings to L3 until your Garrison is L3.Other Important Things to RememberIn the past, skipping to the next zone as soon as you ding was beneficial. But in Draenor, the Bonus Objectives of each zone grant a LOT of experience, and are generally worth sticking around to finish. In addition, certain quest lines will reward you with followers, which are going to be very helpful as you level your Garrison.We also are able to build Garrison Outposts in certain zones that have an effect on gameplay. While these are mostly up to you, I want to mention that you will want to Build the Brewery in Spires of Arak, in order to be rewarded with a Skinning Follower for your Barn after completing later quests.DiscussionAs I mentioned, this information is all out there - thankfully - Since I don’t have beta access, I wouldn’t know about it otherwise. But let’s talk about what that means.Each and every one of you, I’m sure, has a different stable of toons and professions. A different timeline. Different goals. So, I’m going to just tell you what I think in terms of my setup. While I have nine L90s ready to go, I’m choosing to focus on what I call my CORE 6 to start. These six are toons I enjoy playing, and they collectively give me full coverage of all the primary professions - including gathering.I have assigned them an order in which to level them to 100, based on what materials their CDs will eat. The idea being that if I balance my materials needs between Ore and Herbs, I can mostly service my own needs through hitting my Garrison’s mine and garden.Now, eventually I’ll get all six of these to L100, but the important thing to me is to get my Passive Garrison Resource generation going, as well as unlock my initial Cooldowns & Work Orders. I’ve taken off work for Launch Day & the day after - it helps that Friday is my Birthday, so I can tell the Boss I wanna take off for my Birthday - she’s not much of a gamer.Now, I’m not going batshit insane or anything. I’m sleeping Wednesday night, waking up at 7:30, and starting my adventures in Draenor at 8am with my brother and my other guildies who are online. I’ll be playing a lot, but regular meals, showering, spending time in the evenings with my wife, etc - I’m still gonna do all that. This gives me about 12 solid hours a day to do my own thing with WoW - though I’m leaving half of it open on Sunday for The Walking Dead, Homeland, and of course, recording & editing another episode of Late Nite With Stede.So in the other ~40 hours, I wanna balance Goldmaking potential with personal progress on my main. I plan to get all my CORE 6 to Garrison L2 with their 2 main profession buildings built. I’d also like my main to get to L100. I think these are feasible breakpoints to hit in the first weekend.After that, I’ll likely get my remaining CORE to L96 and unlock the Garden and their 3rd profession building. And once that’s done, I’ll start taking them to L100. For me, those are the biggest breakpoints.Timing is EverythingWe’ve heard that folks were levelling 90-100 on the beta in less than 5 hours. The general consensus is that it was easily achievable for anybody who had their act together in

As I was going through my handwritten notes, my beer knocked over and spill all over everything I had written down on Blacksmithing. But I was unfazed! This week's episode recaps a few extra thoughts on Skinning from last week, give a quick refresher on Garrisons, and then continues the series on professions in Warlords of Draenor as I do a deep dive into the details of Blacksmithing - including cooldowns, reagents, crafts, and how it works with your Garrison - so pop a top and have a listen! :)
The show returns after a 6 month hiatus to bring you the goldmaking news as we get ready for Warlords of Draenor in just 2 months. Stede goes solo as the show changes formats, but keeps bringing you the goldmaking discussions to your speakers. This week, I start a series of Profession Previews - starting from the ground up with the gathering professions - Mining, Herbalism, and Skinning - so you know how the coming changes will affect the source materials for all the crafting professions. Hope you enjoy & give me a shout sometime on Twitter!

Convert to Raid Presents: The podcast for World of Warcraft and other Blizzard Games!
Pat Krane and Koltrane are back, bringing in Treckie from Method (#1 ranked guild in the world) for another great show! Blizzard released their first blog post on garrisons, so the CtR crew examines some of the different features and systems of this new and expansive content for Warlords of Draenor. They discuss how player choices will effect how each character levels up to give them a somewhat unique experience, what you can expect from garrisons as you move about Draenor, and how followers can help you maximize your efforts. The Heart of the Valorous buff went out this last week, but it seems to have landed with a thud… at least with our panel. What do more upgrades and faster valor gains mean, and why did Blizzard feel the need to do it? Also, actor Ben Foster speaks about his character in the Warcraft movie, Moonkin get a huge change in the Warlords alpha, old school raiding can help change things up for your raid team, and much more!
