wow How to Get Your Troops to 60 and More Mission Table Tips

[Starym 3,800]

 

While the Command/Mission Table may not be anyone's biggest focus right now, it still has its uses, from some mounts and pets, to some gold generation while you're away from the game, so we're taking a look at how exactly to best get your troops to their max level and a few other tips.

Maf1c recently got their troops to level 60 and explains that it's only your 9 highest level companions that matter for the troop level (if you have the full companion roster of 17), as that level is calculated as the median, not the average.

Maf1c also has plenty more tips to share about the mission table, so let's take a look!

While it’s completely optional content and a seemingly unpopular part of Shadowands, I’ve greatly enjoyed the command table. For anyone else who’s interested in maxing out their power level so they can more easily accomplish missions I’ve outlined a few tips below. Feel free to ask any questions though!

• Don’t progress your Campaign too quickly, and stay at the 4th tier (level 48 missions). It’s much better XP/hour and faster for leveling.
• As the title states, you only need to level the best/most powerful nine companions to level your troops up. Adding more companions after that will no longer continue to decrease your troops level (unless they add more after 9.1).
• In order to chain back to back missions that reward bonus XP you might have to run other missions to “push them off” the table.
• Never spend anima to heal your companions. They auto-heal to full when you level up.
• For those of you who exclusively play on PC I’ve heard Venture Plan is a great addon to help with mission success, but I never used it.
• For those who play on mobile or don’t want an addon, I highly recommend watching the mission replays especially at higher levels. The XP required to level up increases exponentially as you get higher, so by the time you get into the 40s you’re going to be repeating a lot of missions. You can use this to your advantage for troops and companion placement to minimize the damage taken and improve your completion speed and efficiency.

I haven’t spent much time with other covenants but again, if you have any questions I’d be happy to try and answer them. Good luck and have fun!

The troop level is calculated as the median of all your companions. So that means the troop level is the same (within one level due to rounding) of your 9th companion if you’ve recruited all 17. If you have less than 17 it’ll scale with your 6th/7th/8th (whatever) companion but when you recruit a new one it could decrease your troop level.

In fact if you just want to increase the overall power level of your command table, leveling the middle of your crew is best since that scales your troops up.

My top 9 were: - Kleia - Pelagos - Mikanikos - Sika - Meatball - Nemea (or Pelodis) - Teliah - Bron - Clora

Part of my list though was due to release order. Since I’ve been doing this since November, some companions were released later. I think that list though is really strong. The runners up would be Molako and Telethakas.

Someone posted a tier list based on theoretical DPR (damage per round) for every covenant. See this Link for reference.

There's plenty more discussion to be had over in the reddit thread, and the above link to the individual companion damage is also something to check out, although not really a definitive source. You can also download the Venture Plan addon here if you don't already have it, as it's a great resource for the Command Table.
