Draenor Garrison Building Level Changes in Shadowlands Pre-Patch

How to Skip the Opening Draenor Questline(...at least most of it).

Pick up the quest Warlords of Draenor: The Dark Portal, either from Chromie for Chromie Time, or from the Call Board/Command Board. This will instruct you to visit the Vanguard Battlemage in Stormwind or Orgrimmar. In Stormwind, this NPC is found in the Mage Tower just below the portal room (49, 87), and in Orgrimmar, she is in the main Orgrimmar portal room (57.6, 88.6).

Talk to the Vanguard Battlemage to get a free ride to Blasted Lands.

Once you are in Blasted Lands, abandon the quest Warlords of Draenor: The Dark Portal. If it's in your quest log, this will not work.

Now run to the Dark Portal, but instead of stopping to talk to Khadgar, run through the masses of Iron Horde and straight into the portal.

This no longer works for characters under level 30. Now, when you click the Grim Campfire in the cave, you get a message that it requires level 30 to use.

The Timeless Isle cave takes a great deal longer to get to than using the Draenor quest entry method, and dumps you in a far less convenient spot (the upper right section of Gorgrond). The quest skip puts you where you would come out of the Tanaan Jungle quest line, right near where you will build your garrison in Shadowmoon Valley or Frostfire Ridge.

I don't think that's a good trade.Comment by LavaitonFix the invasionsComment by Dakhath79Garrison invasions should be fixed for the same reason that you can do old raids with ease after a few years. All you people acting like this should still be hard probably have no issue going to Blackrock Foundry or Hellfire Citadel and one shotting bosses.Comment by LavaitonGarrison invasions should be fixed for the same reason that you can do old raids with ease after a few years.
