Construction

One of the most important functions of the garrison is erecting buildings. The building space is strictly limited and it depends on the tier that your town hall is at. It should be your priority to upgrade the town hall so, as soon as you reach level 100, your town hall is upgraded to tier 3. The correlation between the building space and the tier of your town hall is as follows:

Tier 1: 1 small field, 1 big field

Tier 2: 2 small fields, 1 medium-sized field, 1 big field and buildings outside of the city limits

Tier 3: 3 small fields, 2 medium-sized fields, 2 big fields and buildings outside of the city limits

Each building lot in your garrison has a specific size which determines what kind of buildings can be built there.

Before the construction, you need to find out about the size of the building plot, available for development, and pick the building that you want to put up there.

You build structures by dragging an appropriate icon onto the empty field.

After you pick the building, you need to approach the drawing board. If your town hall is at tier one, it is locate right next to it. In the case of tier two and three, it is in the main hall. By doing that, you access that building management menu, where you start building, by dragging the building onto the available field on the garrison map. Before that, you only need to make sure that you have enough resources and gold for this construction, as well as Blueprints.

To upgrade a building to the higher tier, you need blueprints. You learn all of the tier one blueprints automatic follower, after you upgrade the town hall to tier two.

You obtain tier two blueprints by completing basic quests in locations of Draenor so, you should be able to obtain them without major problems.

Tier three blueprints are the most difficult to obtain. Virtually, almost always, this requires you to obtain an appropriate achievement. Later in this guide, you can find achievement requirements in descriptions of each building, and what it consists in.

With all the requirements met, you can start construction. Usually, this takes one or two hours. After the time elapses, you need to approach the building site and click on the slip of paper floating there. Thanks to this, the construction will be complete and you will be able to enjoy the profits that it brings you.
