He's in your newly upgraded Town Hall, the ? marker on your map would have you believe he's in the center of your garrison

(During Beta subject to change)

Comment by PrincessGrace

I have read both the Ally and Horde message boards and nothing helps me. I am left to assume my quest is glitching, as I have purchased the land plot from the blueprint vendor, yet my architect table remains unselectable. What the heck am I doing wrong? I am beyond frustrated.

Comment by PriestessAur

This is the quest that allows you to upgrade your Garrison to level 2 (by upgrading your Town Hall). Before you can receive this quest you must be at least level 92 90, and you must complete the Twilight Glade quest lines in Shadowmoon Valley that starts with Into Twilight including Escape From Shaz'gul

Correction, you can obtain the bread-crmb quest at level 90, but you can not actually upgrade the garrison until level 92.

It still appears to be bugged on launch day.

I found to fix it, just leave the garrison and return (I left it a little bit, did a few quests and then came back). When you come back, he should be there in your town hall.

Oh you also don't have to be level 92 to do this quest as I was 91 at the time.

Comment by RandomGamer98

I happened across a problem where the quest was suddenly set as "Not completed", still telling me to upgrade to tier 2. I fixed this issue quite simply by abandoning and taking the quest from Baros again, which will thusly set it as "complete" :)

Comment by oscarucb

This quest chain opens your level 2 garrison.
This can all be completed at level 90 (but you will probably hit 91 along the chain from quest/kill xp).

Once you have the level 1 garrison, the quest chain continues at:
A Hero's Welcome
=> Closing the Door + Dark Enemies + Think of the Children!
=> Shadows Awaken
=> Into Twilight
=> The Clarity Elixir
=> The Fate of Karabor (Solo Scenario)
=> Going Undercover
=> Escape from Shaz'gul
=> Fast Expansion (sends you back to Garrison)
=> Bigger is Better (need 200 Garrison resources to upgrade)

Comment by Frigate

I my case the garrison was allready lvl2 but I couldn't complete the quest. So if you have problems with completing this quest, like I did, you should abandon it and take quest again from the architect at your garrison. Then the '?' will appear and you can complete it.

Comment by Eilonthay

Upon completion, you get More Plots and a fancy new town of your very own! You'll be impressed...except for your barracks. Those guys are horrible at cleaning up after themselves. /eye roll

Because your digs just got upgraded, you'll be booted out to your back gates...enjoy being saluted at on your way back in.

Next quest - Gloomshade Game Hunter. When you're done with the quest, the quest turn in is outside of your garrison walls, not inside. Pairs up well with Gloomshade Grove.

Comment by drndara

Level 2 garrison if you have too many chars like I do.

8. Armed and Dangerous + To the slaughter
9.Last steps (click ladder/chain)

11. Save Wolf home + Free our Brothers and Sisters (together)
12.The Farseer In cave
13.Pool of Visions
14.Back to Bladespire Citadel
15.Ga'nar's Vengeance
16.Let the hunt begin (talk to Ligra before continuing then Ga'nar on next step)

Comment by magpulsexp

If you are really a keener, you can use an addon called 'Super Duper Macro' plus the script below to properly list, in order of operations, the required quests. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info10496-SuperDuperMacro.html

I use this SuperDuperMacro because I make it a global macros for all toons on an account. I will use it to level all 10 of my level 90's to help me along to get their level 2 garrison asap. Managing 10 toons is harder than just doing it once... this keeps me on task...

-- end of macro --

Some people may say that you could use simple macro's but you would need a lot of them since 254 characters is a fairly low limitation on macros.

This is a 'Simple' macro that lists the first 4 quests, while i have them in the correct order, some how wow re-orders them based on the questID # and so they appear 'out of order' when wow executes the macro. If anyone had a suggestion on how to improve the macro below to make it not sort the Quest ID's then it would work otherwise the lists appear 'inaccurate' because they are printed out of order and thus gives person wrong idea of what quest to do next. I still recommend the SuperDuperMacro method above that I have posted.

/run for k, v in pairs({HerosWelcome = 33075, ClosingTheDoor = 33905, DarkEnemies = 33765, ThinkOfChildren = 33070}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

Comment by orionaegis7

I received and completed this quest on my monk at level 93, without completing any of the previous quests in the chain. I may have been able to at level 92 but I wasn't looking around for quests.

Comment by 1402622

In case people were wondering about fishing, you can't do the quest Looking for Help until you are Level 94.

Quest chain to get lvl 2 garrison

Comment by 1440987

Bigger is Better http://youtu.be/gNgDthKuIHM

Comment by Eido

BUILDING/ZONE	REQUIREMENTS/PLANS	CONTAINS
Level 1, Zone (A/H)	Level 92 + Quest (A/H)	Only contains mining nodes.
Level 2, Zone (A/H)	No level requirement. Quest Chain (A/H) + Plans (A/H)	Mine Carts (spell) become active.* More mining nodes and more work orders.
Level 3, Zone (A/H)	Level 100 + Achievement + Plans (A/H)	More mining nodes and more work orders.

*Despite the tooltip, you currently do not need to have any follower assigned to have access to Mine Carts.
This means the only current benefit to having a follower with the Mining trait assigned to your mine is higher work order yields (affected by follower level).

OTHER INFORMATION

The ability to mine ore within these garrison mines does not required the Mining profession.
The only benefit to having the Mining profession is the ability to mine ore OUTSIDE of your garrison. (Same goes with Herbalism).

Table is not interact-able for me as of BFA prepatch

Comment by qlesz

To all of you like me who skip all quests while lvling and come back later to upgrade garrison - you can get Bigger is better quest after qiana moonshadow is your follower and you finish delegating-on-draenor quest

Comment by carniv

It seems the quest requires level 20 in the prepatch instead of level 10 as it states here.

Comment by Citano

As of the Shadowlands pre.patch (9.0.1), there are two ways to get this quest, which depends on what level your character is:
Level 10-19: You can get this quest after completing the quest chain that starts with A Hero's Welcome, which you pick up from Yrel inside your garrison.
Level 20+: You no longer need to do the quest chain from Yrel and you get this quest as soon as you complete Delegating on Draenor (the quest to start your first Garrison Mission)

Description

Commander, I've been working on schematics that you might be interested in. What do you think about pushing out the walls and making room to get some additional structures in here? Our forces have been growing, and things are getting a little cramped, and I'd really like us to put some of those additional blueprints to use. If you could, take a look at the plans on the table here. As soon as I have your go ahead, I'll get everyone to work immediately.
