Garrison Traders Question

I apologize for bringing up old content and should be able to find more information online. I’ve found a calendar of when traders are supposed to spawn in garrison halls and have tried looking up as many requirements as I can. I, unfortunately, am not understanding why I’m not receiving any traders in my Town Hall.

From what I understand, Garrison profession traders spawn on a cycle, according to a third-party calendar that was created and information on Wowhead and sometimes they don’t spawn on their days from what I have read.

However, I for whatever reason have not had a trader spawn on any of the 4 characters that I check on a daily basis. I have checked for about 4 days now, and on random days for the past month or so, and it’s either Shadow Hunter Ty’jin or Saurfang, I believe that’s who the other one is.

I have a level 3 garrison on all of these characters, I’ve even read some posts saying you need a trading post, which I have, some people say you don’t need a trading post to get them to spawn in your town hall. I have a tavern as well, I don’t think this has anything to do with it but I have one anyway. What am I missing?

TL;DR: I’ve been checking on 4 characters for profession traders for about 4 days now and it’s either Shadow Hunter Ty’jin or Saurfang, I believe that’s the other’s name. Not sure what I’m doing wrong to get traders in my garrison.

If I remember right it’s pretty random, there’s like 6 or 7 different visitors you can get, one per day, and I think all the traders count as the same visitor - meaning you have a 1/7 chance to get a trader, then a 1/5 to get the right profession or something.

I don’t think your beyond the realm of RNG probability yet, give it a few more days.
I still get traders in my garrisons but I don’t pay much attention to them.

It’s RNG on RNG.

The profession traders spawn on set days, but also share a spawn with other NPCs (the ones you mentioned)

So if you do roll a profession trainer on two toons today it will always be the same one, like Herbalism for example.

If there’s a specific one you’re targeting you simply need to get lucky and have that NPC spawn on that day that aligns with their schedule.

You can have your friends invite you to their Garrisons to use their vendors they had spawn though to help!

The good old WoD days where we all waited and waited and prayed to rnjesus for Harrison Jones to spawn in your Garrison.

Good times! /s
