Easy Argent Crusade Rep By Repeating Pa'Troll Quest

Saturday, December 6, 2008, posted by WoW Fan at 1:06 AM

In Zul'Drak you can get a quest at the Argent Stand called - Pa'Troll. This quest sets you out to complete 4 tasks around Zul'Drak.

Each task awards about 2,100xp and 250 Argent Crusade rep. The easiest task is Lab Work. This task takes two minutes max which requires you to gather four materials from a lab. As you can see in the WowHead link you get 2,100xp, 250 AC rep and 6 gold.

After you complete the quest given by the alchemist you can drop Pa'Troll and pick it back up at the Stand. Once you do this the quest Lab Work becomes available again.

Overall you can do the run between the lab quest and the run between the Argent Stand and the lab in about 1.5 minutes with about 40 completes a hour.

The experience per hour is pretty poor because there is no mob killing involved. However at level 80, this is a great way to gain Argent Crusade rep and grind gold.

Just make sure you DON'T complete this quest or else you will only have the poor daily 'Troll Patrol' as a followup which has a harder task from the Alchemist and not to mention it rewards far less as well.

Farming Honor Hold and Thrallmar Rep

Saturday, October 20, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 10:23 AM

A very easy way to get to exalted with either Honor Hold or Thrallmar can be done via this method. Make sure you have a strong group who are aware of the objective before heading out as you will be sacrificing loots for rep.

Location: Hellfire Ramparts. Heroics or Normal.

Who: Vazruden and his mount, Nazan. The last boss of the instance.

Important object of interest:
Vazruden's War-Horn (pic on the right). The horn was added to the ledge of the last boss's spawning point, since there are many ways to kill him and some were causing him to despawn incorrectly.

The Exploit:
After you have killed Vazruden and his mount, you have several seconds (exact time unconfirmed) before the chest with the loot spawns, and you are unable to do this exploit.

After you have slain the two bosses, quickly run to the horn (you can't miss it) and click. Make sure your group is in on it!

This will respawn Vazruden as he was before you killed him- IE, with his mount. He will agro the same he did when you killed his Watchers.

The Result:
An almost limitless source of Reputation with Honor Hold or Thrallmar, with any good group.

Kindly note that once the chest is spawned, you will be unable to re-summon the boss.

Easy Consortium Rep To Exalted

Monday, October 1, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 1:25 AM

Credit: Snarg of The Edge of Nowhere

* FIXED AS OF 2.2 PATCH

My friends and I were making about 7,000 rep an hour using this method.

When exalted you can go grab a bag of gem each month at the Nagrand outpost (31,52). Our first bag had 4 blue and 2 green gems.

Ideally, you need the following group setup:

1 tank with 200+ arcane resist
1 healer
2-3 dps (works better if melee or hunter)

Here's how to do it:

Go to Mana-Tombs heroic with your group.
You have to clear your way to the first room where the boss is standing.
Kill everything except for 2 of the Ethereal Sorcerer.

Now, when you enter that room, on your left there is a big chunk of floor that is going up, like a ramp. Get your tank to grab the 2 sorcerers and tank the behind that big ramp, so that their spells won't affect the rest of the party.
But the tank needs to be in LoS from the healer standing on the other side.
Once the tank has enough initial aggro, he has to un-equip his weapon and spam Demo shout.

What happens is that the sorcerers will summon 2 small adds about every 10-15 seconds. The healer will get aggro from theses adds and they will come toward him, thats where the dps takes them down, they have very little hp, something like 4k. Be careful as they AoE explode for quite a bit and the bad part.. they aoe silence.. Thats why dps has to intercept them before they get to the healer.

You can all exit the instance if the hp of the sorcerers gets too low in order to reset them to 100%

Each add gives 15 consortium rep. 4 of them spawn each 10-15 seconds which means it is very possible to obtain Exalted within a few hours if your group sticks together.

Enjoy!

Netherwing Egg Hunting For Quick Rep

Wednesday, August 22, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 1:27 AM

Obtaining a Nether Drake mount is a must to many as it looks truly awesome. In order to shorten the time, hunting for Netherwing Eggs is a well known method but getting them is another story altogether. As each egg gives out equivalent to some of the daily quests (250 rep per turn in), it can shorten the entire process fairly quickly.

Here are the coordinates for Netherwing Egg spawns which does not include those from mining or herbing of course.

Inside Mine
68, 85 (in mine)
74, 87 (in mine)
72, 88 (in mine)
64, 86 (Entrance of mine)
74, 88 (Near crazed guys)
69, 88 (bottom of ramps in big room)
64, 87 (mine entrance, right by a box)
75, 86 (in mine, flayer area, back in cove)
71, 80 (in mine, by flayers)
66, 82 (in mine, by waterwheel)

Netherwing Ledge
66, 91 (edge of shelf, behind crystals)
68, 94 (on island on south of shelf)
65, 84 (right in camp, by racers)
68, 81 (on top of hill)
78, 83 (side of cliff, down in a little crevace)
66, 91 (don't remember, first egg I found)
65, 84 (on top of crystal)
71, 86 (on top of mountain, by den mother)
77, 85 (on top of mountain)
63, 82 (on ground, beneath crystal)

Dragonmaw Camp on Mainland:
69, 63 (top of building)
70, 62 (upper level of zuluhed's building)
68, 59 (up in tower by dragon rider)
67, 61 (wagon in mainland camp)

For a clearer understanding, have a look at this video below for all the Netherwing Egg spawns at Dragonmaw Camp:

Gain Cenarion Expedition Rep To Honored Easily

Thursday, June 7, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 3:00 AM

I was questing in Zangarmarsh when I found this out about this. In Serpent Lake, west of Coilfang reservoir (about 44,43) there are groups of 3-4 fishes called frenzys. These frenzys have a very good chance of dropping Unidentified Plant Parts. When you get 10 of these plant parts you can turn them in to Cenarion Expedition for about 250 rep points till you obtain Honored.

So heres what you need to do:

1. Get an underwater breathing potion
2. go to Serpent lake (44,43)
3. go in the water and agro a bunch of frenzys (if you agro one of them the whole group of 3-4 of them will come)
4. kill the frenzys and loot them (this works better with classes that have strong AOE such as mages or warlocks)

I did this for about 15mins and got 30 unidentified plant parts. Each group drops about 1-2 plant parts and the frenzys are super easy to kill. I did this at Level 63 with my mage (frost spec) and I was able to kill them with 3 arcane explosions.

Have fun!

Exploit: Farm Thrallmar Reputation to Exalted Fast

Wednesday, February 28, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 1:59 AM

Article Credit: ekn

Requirements:
- Revered to enter Heroic.
- Some skills to down the bosses.

What To Do?
Well it's as simple as this, go to the Ramparts at heroic and just clear the full instance except from the last flying dragon boss. When you get to him, just make the tank do the tanking on the bridge and when the dragon lands be sure to DPS the Orc boss to get him killed asap, when he dies it will give you 250 Rep. with Thrallmar. After he is dead, jump down of the bridge down to the entrance portal and run out, run back in and kill the orc guy again.

Each time you will get +250 rep. in like 5minutes and skipping all the trash mobs. Gained like 3k rep in a hour doin' this.

Good luck with your rep farming!

A Guide to Aldor and Scryer Rep Building

Sunday, February 25, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 1:58 AM

Article Credit: Adaan Azgalor

One of the interesting additions with BC is the ability to choose a particular faction which to build rep with - at the expense of another important faction. Similar to the Steamwheedle vs. Bloodsail or Mangrum vs. Gelkis factions, building rep with the Scryers actually lowers your Aldor faction and vice-versa so choose wisely.

Upon your first visit to Shattrath, you are posed with a quest from Khadgar to take a tour of the city. When you return to him, he asks you to pledge your allegiance to either the Aldor or the Scryers. Completing this part of the quest will give you 3500 rep with the chosen faction and will cause you to lose 3750 rep with the other. This will effectively make you Friendly with one and Hostile with the other.

Before you complete this quest, though, you should know the benefits of each side and choose wisely. Read up on the rewards for each at http://www.wowwiki.com/Aldor_vs._Scryer

After completing Khadgar's quest and choosing a side, you are ready to start working on your rep in earnest.

Building rep with the Scryers:
Friendly to Honored – There is an RRQ to gather and turn in Firewing Signets. Each turn-in will get you 250 Scryer rep. More information: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10412

Honored to Exalted – There is an RRQ to gather and turn in Sunfury Signets. Each turn-in will get you 250 rep. More information:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10656

There are also quests to turn in Arcane Tomes. Each turn-in will get you 350 Scryer rep and an Arcane Rune, which is used for the shoulder enchants. More information: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10416

See http://www.giddygamer.com/wow/content/reputation/bc_scryer_rep_quests.pdf for more information on building Scryer rep.

Building rep with the Aldor:
Friendly to Honored – There is an RRQ to gather and turn in Marks of Kil'jaeden. Each turn-in will get you 250 Aldor rep. More information: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10325

Honored to Exalted – There is an RRQ to gather and turn in Marks of Sargeras. Each turn-in will get you 250 rep. More information: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10653

There are also quests to turn in Fel Armaments. These RRQs will get 350 Aldor rep and Holy Dust, which is used for the shoulder enchants. More information: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10420

See http://www.giddygamer.com/wow/content/reputation/bc_aldor_rep_quests.pdf for more information on building Aldor rep.

At some point in time, you may decide to change your allegiance to the opposite faction. This can be done, but the method of switching can be arduous. You not only will not have the advantage of the initial boost from Khadgar’s quest, you will have to do an RRQ many times to get to Friendly before you can start proceeding as normal with the above mentioned quests. Each RRQ at this level is worth 250 rep for the appropriate faction and will cause you to lose 275 rep with the opposite faction.

Switching from Aldor to Scryer faction:
Gather as many Dampscale Basilisk Eyes as you can and start turning them in to Arcanist Adyria in Lower City. At 8 eyes per turn-in, you can expect to kill a lot of basilisks. (It will take 15 turn-ins, or 120 eyes, if you completed the initial quest from Khadgar and nothing else.)
You can find more information on the quests at:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10024

Switching from Scryer to Aldor faction: Gather as many Dreadfang Venom Sacs as you can and start turning them in to Sha’nir in Lower City. At 8 secs per turn-in, you can expect to kill a lot of spiders. (It will take 15 turn-ins, or 120 sacs, if you completed the initial quest from Khadgar and nothing else.)
You can find more information on the quests at:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=10017

City of Silvermoon - Reputation Guide

Thursday, January 18, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 1:17 AM

The capital of the Blood Elves. Located in most north part of the Eastern Kingdoms. Accessible via a portal in Eastern Plaguelands or a mage portal.

Category: Horde
In-Game Text: The city of Silvermoon was founded by the high elves after their arrival in Lordaeron thousands of years before. The city was constructed out of white stone and living plants in the style of the ancient Kaldorei Empire. The city contained the famous Academies of Silvermoon as a centre for the learning of Arcane Magic and Sunstrider Spire, a majestic palace home to the Royal family of the high elves.

Starting reputation:
If you are not an undead - you start with Neutral ( 0 / 3000)
If you are undead - you start with "Friendly" ( 0 / 6000 )
If you are Blood Elf you start with "Friendly" (1000/6000 )
Location: Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods, Eastern Kingdoms

Quests:
All starting quests in Eversong Woods and Ghostlands will grant you a different amount of reputation with Silvermoon City. Depending on how long the quest is and the rewards - you will gain 100/250 or 500 reputation with Silvermoon City.

You can increase your Silvermoon Reputation at the moment by completing several quests in different zones all around Azeroth. The one I found are:
- Swamp of Sorrows: There is a quest inside Stonard. The conversation between the Blood elf and the orc is quite fun and worth reading.
- Badlands: Next to the Watch Tower in Kargath, there is a Blood Elf who give you a quest - granting you reputation with Silvermoon.
- Western Plaguelands: There is a Blood Elf npc giving you a quest in "The Bulwark". The quest is awesome lorewise and include Uther Lightbringer.
- Dustallow Marsh: Blood Elf giving an escort quest.
- Thousand Needles: A really awesome quest given out by a female Blood Elf. The quest involves controling a radio car.
- Stranglethorn Vale: A Blood Elf npc inside Grom Gol with a quest.

RRQs:
Cloth donations [ Runecloth ]
The Blood Elf Quartermaster is named Sorim Lightsong. He is located in the most north-west part of "The Bazaar". Next to the locked door leading to "The Dead Scaar" in Western Silvermoon.

Alterac Valley
First you need Exalted ( 999/1000 ) with Orgrimmar. When you are done with that - keep looting the trash that drops from the alliance you kill in Alterac Valley and keep turn in to the vendors in your base.

Every normal turn in ( blood / armor scraps ) will give you 2 or 3 reputation with Silvermoon City. If you turn in 5 Stormpike Blood - you will get 19 reputation bonus with Silvermoon City.
