Garrison - Any Tips?

[beeq]

About once a month when I have more time I'll do the above but also convert all my armor scraps at the Bunker to a Thunderlord Sabatons and DE all of them to dust.

Heh, I have 110x Dwarven Bunkers, and I did not know that you can actually vendor that stuff you buy with the scraps. I have never used the scraps for anything, so my toons have hundreds of thousands (edit: around 66k) of them Thanks for the heads up!

Also during this run around I'll hit the scrapyard and open crates. I vendor everything from the crates except for WoD BoE epics and WoD crafting mats. I'll sometimes DE the 610 BoP blues because they vendor for nothing but produce a standard amount of dust but this too adds a lot of time to service all 55 toons. Just depends on my lazy factor that day.

Vendoring non-WoD BoEs might be risky, because some of those items have very high market values (some old world BoEs goes over tens of thousands gold)
My each toon have max level Salvage Yards, and I've installed Tradeskillmaster3 addon, and a desktop app for it. The app runs on the background, fetching the latest market values for all items in-game.

in TSM3 you can set up groups for items, and then attach certain operations to each group. I have one giant group called "BoEs" which contains all the BoE items ever introduced in game. I have attached TSM Vendoring operation to that group, so whenever I click a button, the TSM3 vendorsells all items (in that BoE group) which have market value less than 500g (dbmarket or whatever, you can change it many ways), and more valuable items just sit tight in my inventory.

This makes my life in Salvage Yards so much easier, and I don't accidentally ever vendorsell BoPs, tradegoods or anything because the selling is limited to that certain BoE group. Setting up such a huge group wasn't something that can be done in 5 minutes, but I wrote a php tool which converts a wowhead search into TSM3 string, which can be then imported into TSM3 addon. Wowhead limits the searches to 1000 items at once, so I divided that large group into smaller subgroups, based on item levels.

I always log 10 toons at once, the leader forms a raid, and the slaves join leader's garrison, and then they all just spam crate opening macros on leader's SY, once in a while selling everything not-so-valuable, and so on Quick and efficient.

Enabling 110 Salvage Yards was a bitch thing to do though. The pre-quest required to pick up 1760 items from the ground in total..
