If you're like me you are a bit obsessive and completionistic about making sure you are doing your work orders on all of your alts. But what are you spending in material cost to stay on the "hamster wheel" of garrison work orders and should you even be spending that money?

I've been playing around with the spreadsheets I have been building using TSM data (See Build a WoW Item Pricing Spreadsheet Using TradeSkillMaster .CSVs + Google Drive Sheets) and one of the sheets I have calculates the cost of materials necessary for doing work orders on various professions buildings.

Head past the jump for an idea of what it costs to pump out work orders day after day on your characters.

Ever since I worked at an MMORPG company and I found out one of my co-workers who had worked on World of Warcraft had an NPC in WoW named after him I've always thought it would be awesome to have an NPC or item in the game named after me.

While I do have an NPC named after me in a previous MMORPG I worked on, having someone (or something) in World of Warcraft would be awesome.

Earlier tonight I found out about (and bought off trade chat) Erorus' Ledger of Trade which is a reference to Erorus, the creator of The Undermine Journal.

I even went into April and let her know that Erorus has an item in the game and how cool that was. I then also mentioned how it would be cool if I had an item in the game but I likely wasn't popular enough for that.

Later that night I decided to build a Trading Post (of course I would!) for my garrison building in The Spires of Arak.

Imagine my surprise and delight when I used my garrison ability (called "Smuggler's Run") which summons a Rare Goods Vendor and his name was "Honest Jim". I thought that was pretty neat but as I looked closer I started to notice some things.

• He's a human named Jim.
• He has facial hair. (Although, he also has hair on his head which doesn't fit my theory. lol)
• His flavor text reads "If you've got the gold, I've got the goods!".
• He is a Rare Goods Vendor (get it…Rare Goods, as in Blues).
• He sells you many rare items, some at pretty high prices (2,200g for a 28 slot bag!?!).

2,200g for a bag? That's some ignorant bull…gimme one!
