Don't forget to do your garrison shipyard missions!

Just to let anyone who might be wondering know there are a couple of prerequisites you need to complete before the mission will show up for you. Just in case your waiting forever...like I did. You need a level 3 Shipyard and you need to complete the quest "Equipment Blueprint: Ghostly Spyglass" before the mission will show up your table. Once I completed the quest the ring mission showed up the next day for me but that might have just been good RNG and might still take a bit longer. Good Luck!

Oh right on, thanks man

Equipment Blueprint: Ghostly Spyglass
Drops from this bad boy?

I came back to WoW in late Legion and did the missions for the rings without the spyglass for months since I didn't know about it... Found this out about a month ago, got all three rings within a week. :)

oh man, as soon as i grabbed the third ring i ran away and not looked back.

Im glad i got them all in WoD so i didnt have to worry about it after the xpac was over >_<
13
yeah. i worked on that through Legion and still the third ring was missing. i got the last one a few weeks into BfA. a torture.
1
Did you phase out?

Nice try Blizzard..

i just recently learned that u can get fish from the wod shipyard, now i have infinite wod fish (& you can get the wod fishing achiev from it)

Your comment is the true MVP

This is pretty much where I've gotten all my lunkers from as well.
1
Wait, as in physically fishing there, or as in quests reward lunkers?
2
Oh, as in actually fisjing there...
2
Wait... how. I need this info
1
There's a fishing net equipment you can add to the ships so that when they complete a mission you get fish as part of the reward.
1
Where do you get the equipment?
1
Unlock it from the rep vendor in Tanaan, buy it for the ships in your shipyard. https://www.wowhead.com/mission-ability=305/tuskarr-fishing-net#items
1
What do you do with the fish?
1
draenor alchemy
1
I still don't like that you can only equip one of them.
22
U can use it together with the bootybay Ring from the fishing event
14
Which I can't go through, because it happens it a time frame I'm not at home, I have never tried the STV Fishing event in 10 years.
19
They need to make an alternate to that, there should be one Stamina ring with EXP.
EXP gear should not be from a server wide event.
4
It's not just a server wide event. It's region wide EU/NA/etc with a 50 winner limitation.

Those always happened during a time frame when I'm working, so I've given up any hope of ever even getting the chance of equipping 2 heirloom rings.
3
Can you confirm you get bonus XP from them? Not sure if the ‘cap’ on bonus XO I’ve seen includes just 1 out of practicality or if it genuinely won’t go over 50% from heirlooms.
1
Pretty sure there's no cap on bonus xp from heirlooms
2
Ok 👌
1
One of each you mean? Or only one heirloom ring?
1
Only one Ghost Pirate ring.

Well, the three rings are:
- Admiral Taylor's Loyalty Ring (Agility)
- Captain Sander's Returned Band (Strength)
- Signet of the Third Fleet (Intellect)
The three above are all "Ghost Pirate" rings, and cannot be equipped together.
Any of them can be equipped together with the Dread Pirate Ring, that you get from the Stranglethorn Fishing Tournament.
Now, since there is another ring to give you extra XP, why don't they just let us equip two GP rings?
During leveling I don't give a damn if I get bonuses to useless stats.
1
If I skipped Warlords of Draenor how hard is it to get this shipyard up and running?
10
To get it, not hard. To do this mission? It's annoying AF imo. It's pretty rare, and the map is covered in "fog" that you need to do scouting missions to remove. Then the ships don't always counter everything, or your ships don't have the right counters, so you have to go buy ship equipment for damn near every mission.
I gave up trying to get this during WOD. The shipyard was fucking awful.
18
Yeah another idea that could have been really cool but turned out to be not cool.
4
I'm stuck at not having oil? And I'm having a hard time getting info to get more. Do you know how?
2
Wowhead has a shipyard guide with more information but in short: You need revered Tanaan/Hand of the Prophet rep to unlock the oil rig blueprint. Once activated, you get a quest for an oil rig mission and once that's complete, you'll start to see an oil mission on your naval map.
You can also complete a daily in Tanaan that rewards 600 or 750 oil plus there are oil missions from the garrison table and oil tokens (garrison mission rewards; they're also purchasable from the AH).
3
Thanks for the info!! Apparently i hadn't finished the tanaan intro quests, even though i was almost exalted with them? Weird.
1
Then the ships don't always counter everything, or your ships don't have the right counters, so you have to go buy ship equipment for damn near every mission.
Yeah, if you're interested in doing this definitely check wowhead for the specific quest and start working on your ships now.

Pretty easy, I came back having been away since Cata and found it no real problem. You need a garrison and then a few pre quests (I think) for the shipyard, level it to rank 3 and get the ghostly spyglass (don't have to equip it on any ships). Been checking it daily for about 6 weeks and just got my 3rd ring today (the agility one) All of the missions for the rings appeared in the top right of the shipyard map so clear that daily and that's where you'll find your heirloom quests.** That info wasn't so easy to come by so I wanted to emphasise that!
I used the icy veins garrison shipyard guide and it served me really well. Got a hippo mount from a mission on there too today actually, now I'm done with that place!
7
Easy, just lots of waiting because you need to complete 10 naval and 25 treasure missions before you can get a Lv3 Shipyard (so almost 2 weeks).
The ring missions can appear in the SW/NW corners so I regularly clear quests there so they can pop up.
3
And you’ll constantly be out of oil and have to do dailies too.
I agree it’s “easy” but it’s slowwwwww, especially if you’re starting from nothing. If you haven’t set up garrison I say just forget it.
2
wondering the same thing...
2
Took me around 2 weeks of time, but only 10 or so hours of effort to get one, never bothered to get another one.
2
take a look at Garrison Commander addon, it calculates the best ships for missions (shipyards too) by itself
9
Is there a quick way to get the oil to do the missions without spending ages farming it?
4
There's an item that unlocks oil missions in the shipyard.
10
Yeah but that’s locked behind a rep grind right? Is there any fast track for that rep (“Voljins Dudes” or something...)
2
There are some daily assault quests that increase your rep (and oil). It's Voljin's headhunters.
Also the Medallion of the legion that comes from regular draenor missions, auction house or the tanaan rares that also can drop mounts.
1
Yeah, the initial assault quest is what I’m doing now (and I assume the preceding question is referring to). I just don’t have the playtime to do all the daily’s for that rep and still do current content too. The medallions though... if I can buy them that might be the way to fast track it for me. Thanks.
Edit- wow, medallions averages around 10k gold on my server... maybe not going to be a fast track after all...
1
Medallion of the Legion (if you have the gold for it) give 1k rep each to almost (if not all) WoD factions. Use it with a rank 3 trading post in your garrison for an additional 20% rep
1
That’s exactly what I was after, thanks!

Sure, but if you didn’t play during WoD that’s not a given, and may not be a priority to go back and do. Just thinking of it from the preceding question, “is there a faster way to get oil than a time consuming quest” “yes, a time consuming rep grind”.
I’m in that same situation, I didn’t play during WoD but I do want stuff from the missions so I hit the tables daily, every couple days I fly over and do the quest that give like 600 oil. I know about the oil rig, but it just isn’t a priority to spend my playtime doing those rep daily’s instead of current content.
5
barrels of oil on the auction house
3
ah?
1
For alliance, once you unlock 'lion's watch' in tanaan via the garrison campaign and the zone quests, you get a daily that grants 600 minimum oil a pop as well as some rep for a faction.
Plenty enough for daily naval missions.
1
The daily mission gives like 600 oil. Probably takes about 5-10 min. Do that for a few days and you’ll be set for a while.

Came back to Legion after a very long break. Learned about these heirlooms that I can get through the shipyard.
Started upgrading my garrison, getting the shipyard going, getting oil from Tanaan, getting the spyglass thing to get these missions etc.
At the end of it all I realized the time I spent getting these is far more than the time I will save by having these when leveling characters.
But I got all three, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
4
I'll never go back!
3
I got that one the other day! And failed it with a 92%..........
But luck kicked back in and I got the hippo mount a couple days later.
3
Got all three, but the last one? I failed it 4 times with a 97% sucess rate. The Shipyard is a cursed place.
3
I got the admiral taylor's one and never looked back. Sure on some classes im missing out on some main stat, but its totally negligible.
3
Got all 3 and just started converting a few boats to nets for the mount :)
2
do you get +15% experience with all 3 upgrades?
2
Heirloom upgrades just increase the maximum effective level.
1
So how long would it take me to get to the point of having these missions? I played wod a little bit, I stopped during the raid with oregorger. I have a level 3 garrison but nothing to do with the ship yard
2
As someone said above, you need to do X amount of naval missions to unlock level 2 shipyard (maybe 10?) spend garrison resources and gold to level it, then another 25 missions and more gold to level again to level 3. At which point I went and got the ghostly spyglass pattern unlocked and the first ring mission appeared next day. (I have never equipped a ghostly spyglass, just unlocked the ability to buy them by finding the pattern from ironbeard rare spawn in Tanaan Jungle
3
15 missions for level 2. I just completed that this week.
1
Thanks for this, checked my alliance alts and they have it up, just not horde. Did some switching of bonus items to get it to 100% and in 2 days I’ll have a ring toot toot
2
That would imply working the shipyard enough to even get these missions in the first place.
2
yeah that's gonna be a no for me, dawg.
that ring is not worth the minutes of effort per day, at least for me.
2
I got the other 2. Do them every day and has been a month and haven't seen the third one yet :(
didnt get it in years, just enjoying my 75th left shark
What did you do with the other 27 million of them?
They seem to sell for about 50-75g on the AH.
On my server you’re lucky if they sell for 20g
Do they sell, or are they simply being listed for that price?
My guild lead sent the entire guild a left shark for a holiday surprise last year.
[deleted]
set them free (aka not even started the mission)
A shark Made it to the water
Find the one person you want to annoy the shit out of and mail them all to that person. If they auto open they'll have to manually delete each one you send. iirc they have no sell price and to delete you have to type delete into the confirmation box for each one. Or you could completely fill your guild bank with them if you want to troll the GM and/or officers.
Don’t do this.
Sincerely, a guild officer
pro tip - put something worthwhile first, like a stack of herbs, to ensure they will auto open all the mails
my friends and i used to send all of the ones we had to each other in the mail back and forth, forever
I'm having a bad day, thank you for making me laugh 💜
None pizza, left shark
Are you actively clearing missions or just waiting for it to pop up? The former will make the mission pop up faster.
Also if you have alts, abuse them.
I thought it was a weekly thing? I usually ignore them and glance to see if it popped. Also, not sure I want to get my alts up to that point and then deal with having to get a proper fleet to 100% it.
yeah doin the shipyard surly counts as abuse
Returning player here who has been wanting to get them for rerolling.
My first one was the Int one
I failed getting the STR one with a 96% success rate
Still haven't seen the AGI one that I need
At this point I'm just content with my fishing contest ring. It would be nice to have both ring slots covered though.
Meanwhile I have all 3 fleet ones but haven't tried to win the fishing contest since BC. I should get on that.
it's a world quest now, first 50 to complete it get the reward. way easier then back in the day.
Holy shit that's easy now. Thanks, I know what I'm doing next time I have Sunday afternoon off.
I don't know how difficult it is now with how sharding and all that works, but it was easy as heck when I got it during Cata (I think).
I had the INT and the AGI ones from first consecutive rare quests. Then almost immediately after i had a rare quest for the STR ring but failed on 88% of successful quest. It’s been like two weeks time now and I haven’t got a quest for any ring.
I also read clearing regular naval missions increases your potential for rare quests. Apparently right upper and left lower corners are where the quests appear more often. The naval missions there should be cleared with higher priority. I am not sure how true is that statement, though :p
[deleted]
I got my 3rd this week - I still haven't bought the fishing net and only recently got the felsmoke launcher and one other. AFAIK you only need level 3 shipyard and to have unlocked the ghostly spyglass equipment - which is what I had when my first one popped.
