Comments on: New 3.2 Argent Tournamen quests: I need more reputation! http://www.restokin.com/2009/07/new-3-2-argent-tournamen-quests-i-need-more-reputation/ Lissanna's blog about druids Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:23:28 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lath http://www.restokin.com/2009/07/new-3-2-argent-tournamen-quests-i-need-more-reputation/comment-page-1/#comment-1360 Lath Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:26:26 +0000 http://restokin.com/?p=1706#comment-1360 I got my rep up perhaps a slightly more unorthadox way :) I really wanted the Guardian of Cenarius title being a druid, so after doing the starter quests for each alliance area, I went to Silithus and moonfired my way though the Twilight Cultist camps. They respawn really quickly so I just kept swapping between 2 camps near each other. Each Twilight Cultist kill = 10 rep plus a chance of Twilight Cultist Text (Cenarion Circle rep hand ins) and heaps of Runecloth! Getting to Exalted with this faction also earnt me enough cloth to round all my Alliance factions to exalted. I scored in half a day of grinding both the Guardian of Cenarius & Ambassador titles :) I got my rep up perhaps a slightly more unorthadox way :)

"Oh boy, fly all over the world dailies!" I barely have time for the daily fishing and cooking quests, The Argent Tournament just doesn't do it for me. It also seems if you leveled up to 60 in vanilla WOW you got a lot less faction rep than you do now. My druid has honored or lower rep with most the horde factions, and he was my first, so I did more old world stuff on him than any other. I made a Draenei Pally when BC came out and she got a LOT more rep from just leveling. She is still stuck at 74 and is revered or better with most factions. Same goes for my Orc Warlock, 73 and revered with most factions. I have ground out two 80s to exalted with the Sons of Hodir, the first one before they added the additional quests. Argent Dawn, Cenarion Circle, Scryers, Aldor, Argetnt Crusade, Ebon Blade, blah blah blah... the list goes on and on. And who can forget grinding out rep for that Earthwarden back in BC when bear tanking was fun. I am getting a little bored with the rep grinds.

You can always just grind the argent tournament daily quests until you hit exalted with all the reps. Doing old-world stuff (or just buying cloth off the AH) just makes it go faster. I'm now exalted with Darnassus, Stormwind, & Exodar. Just Gnomeregan & Ironforge left to go! When I was running around the Draenei starting area, I one-shot everything with moonfire (even with it glyphed). That's pretty fun!

Metroid? Anyways, I recommend working on your lowest reputation first (gnomer for me) so as to maximize your spillover rep. I'm pretty sure the weeklies for Wintergrasp also give home-faction rep. “In any single player game, excessive backtracking is usually considered a negative.”

If you think about it, Blizzard is forcing you to backtrack by getting rep from all of the vanilla areas in the game in order to get new rewards, instead of releasing new content. In any single player game, excessive backtracking is usually considered a negative. Why is it acceptable in an MMO? Ultimately, it's your $15/month. If you're happy grinding rep, who am I to judge? :) But, personally, I'm glad there are new online games on the horizon with fresh content.
