Shipyard

Were you looking for general lore on shipyards?

This article concerns content exclusive to Warlords of Draenor.

The Garrison Shipyard (called "Frostwall Shipyard" for Horde and "Lunarfall Shipyard" for Alliance) is a new building and extensive new feature introduced with Patch 6.2. A path has opened up from your garrison to the coast (you may remember the shipwreck you encountered when establishing your garrison) that leads to the new shipyard.

Level 1: Build ships and run naval missions from the coast near your garrison.
Level 2: Build ships and run naval missions from the coast near your garrison.
Level 3: Build ships and run naval missions from the coast near your garrison.

Source

Your character needs to be level 100 and have a level 3 garrison.

There are basically two short quest chains that need to be completed to start running your shipyard. The first involves visiting the Iron Docks to find a an orc shipbuilder for your shipyard and the second involves establishing your base in Tanaan Jungle.

Constructing the Shipyard

This quest chain begins with talking to either Varian Wrynn or Vol'jin inside your Town Hall. The chain is called "All Hands On Deck" in the achievement In Pursuit of Gul'dan.

Shipyard intro

Your Shipyard is ready to go. You will need to do some simple introductory quests to build some ships and complete a few missions (the first mission will always fail, even at 90+% chance, and destroy your first destroyer, but don't fret). The guaranteed fail mission is also there to teach you that unlike follower missions, naval missions run the risk of losing a Garrison ship.

You will also see the first blockade naval mission which needs to be completed to open up certain areas and their missions.
