Followers can have their armor sets and weapons upgraded with special follower-only tokens, which can be as specific mission rewards, found in salvage at the Salvage Yard, or from work orders at the Dwarven Bunker (for Alliance) or War Mill (for Horde). It takes 60,000 XP to upgrade from uncommon to rare quality, and 120,000 XP to upgrade from rare to epic quality.Īt level 100, the follower UI shows the average equipped item level of followers, which starts at 600 and can be increased up to the cap of 655 (in Patch 6.1: 670). When hired, followers have a slim chance of being upgraded from their nominal quality (much like quest rewards), but even if they don't proc the bonus, they can still gain quality points once they reach level 100. Uncommon followers have one ability and one trait, rare followers have one ability and two traits, and epic followers have two abilities and three traits. Follower quality affects the number and quantity of active abilities and passive traits followers have.



Experience is gained by running missions, and a set amount of XP is required to gain levels, as seen in the table to the right. Quality, experience and item level Follower experienceįollowers are hired anywhere from level 90 to 100 and come in three quality levels: uncommon, rare, and epic.
