I recently had a new character level up followers in Legion again. The xp gain is way faster, 1000 xp for each quest if they’re a bodyguard and 3000, 4500, or 6000 xp for different types of quests. Elite strike force missions do still come up rarely, and give 10k xp. But the xp required to level up is different too.
I don’t understand the negativity against mission tables. No one forces you to play them. For me, I only do them in the middle of the night when insomnia hits or when I am away from home sitting around bored out of my skull. I must have a lot of time cuz all my are legendary except from one of the alliance followers who is worthless.
I found the wod mission table to be demotivating. Every time I tried to commit myself to leveling up followers it made me want to play less. Now the Legion mission board I had a relationship with.
Grind your followers? LMAO now I have heard everything. If taking 5 secs to click your mouse button to send off followers then wait hours doing anything elsee is grinding, then that is funny. I hit mine all Legendary awhile ago not even thinking nor worrying about. Completing missions on any rank they are was easy.
There were a LOT of followers, like holy cow, no offense, but yeah it got a bit overwhelming when I started to dig my teeth into it all. Still loved it and wow did I make some gold!
