Frenzyheart Tribe Reputation Guide

The Frenzyheart Tribe can only be found in the Sholazar Basin. These wolf-like NPC’s, Wolvar, aka Puppymen, fight an ongoing war with The Oracles, which is also a faction and can be found in the Sholazar Basin as well.

Increasing your reputation with The Oracles will decrease your reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe, so avoid that. Once you gain exalted reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe however, you can choose to get exalted with The Oracles too.

There is one quest that needs to be completed before you can gain reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe. The quest is called The Part-time Hunter and you receive this quest from Tamara Wobblesprocket (50.5, 62.1). You must kill Pitch (50, 77) and this will be your first encounter with the Frenzyheart Tribe. It is Gekgek that will give you a quest called Playing Along (700 rep). From there on you will be able to do a chain quest and other quests that will boost your reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe. You can see the quests that give Frenzyheart Tribe reputation below:

* Frenzyheart Champion (17214 rep)
* Sholazar Basin A Rough Ride (700 rep)
* Flown the Coop! (700 rep)
* Sholazar Basin Hoofing It (700 rep)
* Lightning Definitely Strikes Twice (1000 rep)
* Mischief in the Making (700 rep)
* The Ape Hunter's Slave (700 rep)
* The Mist Isn't Listening (700 rep)
* The Sapphire Queen (1000 rep)
* The Underground Menace (1000 rep)
* The Wasp Hunter's Apprentice (700 rep)
* Tormenting the Softknuckles (1000 rep)

Next to these quests, there are also several daily quests that can be completed to gain additional reputation.

* Chicken Party! (250 rep)
* Kartak's Rampage (350 rep)
* Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart (350 rep)
* Tools of War (350 rep)
* A Hero's Headgear (500 rep)
* Rejek: First Blood (500 rep)
* Strength of the Tempest (250 rep)
* The Heartblood's Strength (500 rep)

Once you get Revered with the Frenzyheart Tribe, there is a mysterious item, the Disgusting Jar. After 7 days this item will turn into a Ripe Disgusting Jar, which when opened, might give you some nice healing & mana potions or, more important, Frenzyheart Brew! This item has a 30 min cooldown, endless charges and turns you into a Wolvar for 5 minutes!

If you would like to get the exalted status you can do 8 daily quests per day and gain about 3000 rep per day. This means that you’re only 1 week away from that exalted trinket and another achievement.

Getting reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe is fun and rewarding. It doesn’t necessarily have to take you a lot of time if you make sure you complete the chain quest and then do those dailies. Once you are Exalted with these guys you could choose to become Exalted with The Oracles.

There is an achievement that requires you to become exalted with both the Frenzyheart Tribe and The Oracles. I would advise that, if you plan to raise your reputation to Exalted with both factions, you end with the one that is most dearest to you, and probably, which trinket you would really like to be able to use since you can’t equip them if you don’t have the Exalted status with the factions.

Argent Crusade Reputation Guide

Most of you know the Argent Dawn, a faction that can be found in the Eastern Plaguelands at Light Hope’s Chapel.

The Argent Crusade is a wing of the Argent Dawn, and, together with the Knights of the Silver Hand, they fight the battle against the Scourge with only one ultimate goal; bringing down the Lich King.

The following camps are inhabited with members of the Argent Crusade:

* Dawn's Reach, which can be found in the far east part of Dragonblight.
* Light's Breach, which can be found in the center of Zul'drak.
* The Argent Stand, also to be found in the center of Zul'drak.
* The Argent Vanguard, which can be found on the southern part of the Icecrown Glacier.

There are many quests that give reputation with the Argent Crusade faction and you can also buy the Tabard of the Argent Crusade from their Quartermaster once you get the Friendly status with the Argent Crusade. You can wear this Tabard in any level 80 dungeon to receive reputation for each mob that you kill inside the instance.

There is one trick to get thousands of reputation points with the Argent Crusade in no-time. There is a quest in Zul’drak called Pa’Troll. This quest can be taken at The Argent Stand. This quest will give you 4 objectives and you can complete one of them for 250 reputation, without handing in the quest. You can then remove the quest Pa’Troll from your quest log and take it again at The Argent Stand.

Now it makes sense that you will complete the easiest of the 4 objectives which is the following one: Lab Work. This part of the quest requires you to search four materials in a lab and take them back to the quest giver.

Lab Work:

‘Alchemist Finklestein at Heb'Valok wants you to find a Muddy Mire Maggot, a Withered Batwing, an Amberseed, and some Chilled Serpent Mucus from within his laboratory.’

The lab is right behind the quest giver, so this quest is really easy and will only take a minute of your time. After you complete this part you get 250 reputation and you should delete the quest from your quest log. Take it again at the Argent Stand and complete this quest again and again.

All together it is not more than 2 minutes work for 250 reputation which equals to 7500-10000 reputation per hour. It might not be the most fun way, but definitely the most efficient one. Imagine yourself doing this one hour per day and reaching exalted status within 4 days (excluding all other reputation gains from instances, other quests etc.).

Next to the 250 reputation you will also receive 6 gold per turn in and 2100 XP (which is also converted to gold if the player is 80). Doing this quest 30 times (1 hour) would not only mean that you would receive a lot of reputation, it would also mean that you get 180 gold and 63000 XP. Not bad for an hours work.

Cenarion Circle Reputation Guide

The Cenarion Circle is a well known faction in WoW. They have been around for 4 years yet most people do not have an exalted reputation with this faction, yet. After you read this guide you might want to take your chances and gain exalted reputation with this faction in no-time. The Cenarion Circle has their main quarter in Moonglade, the Druid city behind Felwood.

However, all the quests that you can do to gain fast reputation with this faction must be done in Silithus, where the Druids of the Cenarion Circle can be found at the Cenarion Hold.

Since the Cenarion Circle consist from mainly Druids, it is not more than normal that Druid players get a small bonus to their reputation. This means that they start with two out of three thousand reputation points toward the Friendly status. While they level up they will even receive additional reputation with the Cenarion Circle for doing their Druid quests.

Everybody starts of as Neutal with the Cenarion Circle. To get to honored it is advisable that you kill all the Twilight mobs that can be found in the Twilight camps around SIlithus. Since you now receive 10 reputation per kill, no matter what level you are, you can imagine that you would be able to get to exalted in no-time.

Luckily you do not only have to kill these mobs to gain the Exalted status. You can also hand in the Encrypted Twilight Texts at the Cenarion Hold in batches of 10. One batch of 10 will give you 500 reputation with the Cenarion Hold. Since the twilight mobs have around 20% chance to drop the Twilight Texts, you might say that getting Exalted started to look even better.

While killing the Twilight mobs, you will also notice that large amounts of Twilight Robes, Cowls and Shoulder parts drop. You should try to gather a set. Once you have a complete set you should equip it and go to one of the Lesser Wind Stones. Touch it and a Templar will appear. Once you kill it, you will be able to loot an Abyssal Crest. These Abyssals Crests can be hand in at the Cenarion Hold in packs of 3 for an additional 150 rep.

Grinding the Twilight mobs and handing in the Encrypted Twilight Texts and Abyssal Crests is a fast way to get to Exalted. You could also choose to go to AQ20 with a few friends or a raid since all the mobs will give 10 reputation and the bosses even more.

Besides the repeatable quests mentioned above there are also several quests that can only be done once but still give a nice amount of reputation. However, I have recently gained the Exalted status with my main character and grinding the Twilight Cultists and doing those hand ins is a nice way to get to Exalted. Another nice welcome is that these Twilight Cultists really drop LOADS of Runecloth. That Runecloth you could hand in at one of the Major Cities, Horde or Alliance, to gain an exalted status. So basically you are hitting two birds with one stone. Another welcome plus is that those Templars have quite a nice chance to drop blue items.

Timbermaw Hold Reputation Guide

The Timbermaw Hold faction has been around since WoW’s first release.

The Timbermaw Furbolgs have their quarter at the Timbermaw Hold, which can be found in the tunnel between Felwood and Winterspring.

Since, unlike most other factions, you start as Hostile with this faction, there will be some quests you should complete before you can enter the Timbermaw Hold.

* Becoming Unfriendly: Go to Felwood and accept Timbermaw Ally (1400 rep) from Grazle (51.0, 85.0). Complete this quest by killing the Deadwood mobs in Felpaw Village to the southwest.

* Take Speak To Nafien (100 rep) from Grazle (51.0, 85.0) and take Feathers for Grazle which is a repeatable quest.

* Go back to Felpaw Village and kill more Furbolgs. You receive 20 reputation for each Deadwood Furlbolg you kill, in addition, Chieftain Bloodmaw gives 60 reputation.

* Gather all the Deadwood Headdress Feathers but DO NOT hand these in until you hit revered.


* Becoming Neutral, Honored and Revered: Head towards Felpaw Village and grind your way to Revered. This will be time-taking but luckily, the amount of reputation you gain has been multiplied by four. Where in the old days you would get 5 reputation per kill, you now get 20 reputation.

* Save all your Deadwood Headdress Feathers and hand them in once you get to revered.


* Becoming Exalted: Now that you are Revered, it is time to hand in all those Deadwood Headdress Feathers. You hand them in in batches of 5 and you will receive 500 reputation for each batch.

* While grinding to Revered you should have found the Deadwood Ritual Totem (1400 rep). Also make sure you have 30 Runecloth on you.

* Head north to Nafien (64.8, 8.2) and hand in Speak To Nafien. Accept Deadwood of the North (1400 rep) and kill the mobs just west of him.

* Hand in Deadwood of the North (1400 rep).

* Head into Timbermaw Hold. Hand in Deadwood Ritual Totem (1400 rep) at Kernda (65.4, 2.7).

* Take Runecloth (1000 rep) from Meilosh inside the Timbermaw Hold and complete it by handing in 30 Runecloth.

* Head to Winterspring and accept Winterfall Activity (1400 rep) from Salfa (27.8, 34.5).

* Head east to Winterfall Village and kill the mobs. Hand in Winterfall Activity (1400 rep).

* You’re now able to find Winterfall Spirit Beads on defeated Furlbolgs in Winterspring which you can hand in per 5, for 500 reputation at Salfa.

* The Furbolgs in Winterspring also drop the Winterfall Ritual Totem (1400 rep) which you can hand in at Kernda inside the Timbermaw Hold.

* Now it is just a matter of grinding Furlbolgs in Winterspring for those Spirit Beads and handing them in for rep. One way to boost your reputation gain a bit is by killing Highchief Winterfall (69.6, 38.3) for 50 reputation.

Getting from Unfriendly to Exalted with the Timbermaw Hold isn’t really complicated. The most important thing one should know is that handing in the Spirit Beads and Dreadwood Headdress Feathers before hitting revered is a big mistake if you intend to go for the Exalted status with the Timbermaw Hold faction.

World of Warcraft Reputation Guide for Ogrila

Location

Ogri'la is located on the western edge of the Blades Edge Mountains between Forge Camp Terror and Forge Camp Wrath. You can only access Ogri'la by flying mount or flight form. The easiest way to reach Ogri'la is by flying dead west of Sylvanaar.

General Information

Ogri'la is a village of ogres who have overcome their brutish nature and broken away from the domination of the Gronn lords. They are in constant battle with the Dragons of the Black Dragonflight, the Burning Legion, and the Gronn lords that still hold control over many of the ogre communites of Blades Edge Mountains.

According to lore, the ogres' proximity to Apexis formations is what have enabled them to attain a higher level of civilization than other ogres. The Ogri'la ogres are aided by the Sha'tari skyguard and players that have defeated the Sons of Gruul.

Apexis shards and crystals are the currency of Ogri'la. After attaining enough reputation with Ogri'la to purchase rewards, you will need to use Apexis Shards and Apexis crystals to buy them. Apexis shards come as rewards for the daily repeatable quests that are available to you in Ogri'la. They can also be looted from nearby beasts and from Apexis formations.

Many of the Rare and Epic quality items sold on the reputation vendor also you to have some of the much less common Apexis Crystals. Apexis crystals can only be looked from the summoned dragons and demons in the zone. These are elite boss mobs that mimic many classic raid bosses on a smaller scale. It requires 35 Apexis Shards to summon these bosses and a balanced party of five players is needed to defeat them. Each party member will be able to loot one Apexis Crystal.

Flasks and More....

Apexis shards also serve as currency for acquiring special flasks, found from different dispensers across the map. These flasks can only be only be used in Blades Edge Mountains and Gruul's Lair, and will save you hundreds of gold when raiding that instance. Once every two hours, a group of Sha'tari Skyguard will launch an attack against Bash'ir Landing to the north east. They fly out from the Skyguard Base.

Three waves of enemies will spawn and attack the Skyguard NPC's, each wave stronger then the previous. It is your job to ensure that the Skyguard NPC's survive for as long as possible. If all of the Skyguard NPC's are killed the event ends. At the end of each wave a boss has to be defeated. Once he is defeated a vendor will appear to sell special items. Three different vendors are available, but only one will spawn for each wave defeated.

The first sells special flasks that cannot be attained at any other time. The second vendor to spawn will sell rare gems. The third vendor to spawn will sell rare meta gems. You must use Apexis Shards as currency for these vendors. The waves and subsequent bosses that spawn during this event get increasingly difficult. In order to complete the event, a well organized raid of at least 25 people is needed.

Gaining Ogrila Reputation

The quest line for gaining reputation with Ogri'la begins in Lower City and leads to an ogre named Mog'dorg the Wizened in Blades Edge Mountains. He will give you three quests to destroy the three Sons of Gruul: “Grulloc Has Two Skulls”, “Maggoc's Treasure Chest”, and “Even Gronn Have Standards”.

You will need a balanced five person group to complete these quests. After your group has completed these three tasks, return to Mog'dorg the Wizened and he will send you on two more five-man quests. After completing these you will attain Neutral standing with Ogri'la and will be able to acquire quests there.

Do all available quests in Ogri'la and the Skyguard base, including five-mans. Doing so will open up daily repeatable quests, often known simply as “dailies”. At Neutral reputation you can open unlock three different daily quests. These quests give 500 reputation points each, as well as 15 apexis crystals. They are, “The Relic's Emanation”, “Wrangle Some Aether Rays!”, and “Bombing Run”.

At honored reputation you will then unlock another daily: “Banish the Demons”. It is at this point that you will also be able to do the Shartuul event. While doing your daily quests you will encounter an item called a “Depleted Crystal Focus”. When this is combined with ten Apexis Shards it becomes a “Charged Crystal Focus”. While it looks like – and can serve as – a normal Health Stone, it is best saved for completing the Shartuul event where these will be required to enhance the demons under your control. As said in the tool tip of a “Charged Crystal Focus”, Kronk in Ogri'la can tell you all about the Shartuul event.

World of Warcraft Skyguard Rep Guide

Any player in the World of Warcraft can raise their Skyguard reputation and start out as neutral with them.

The Sha'tari Skyguard is an air wing of the Sha'tar of Shattrath City, defenders of the capital from attacks from the hills.

To raise your reputation with them, you will be battling the Arakkoa of Terokk in the peaks of Skettis as well.

Skyguard has two different outposts, one that lies close to Ogri'la and one that is in the northern area of the Skethyl Mountains.

The Skyguard quests are linked with the Orgi'La Faction in the Blades Edge Mountains, and you will be able to raise your reputation with both by completing some of these quests. When you start out gaining your reputation for Skyguard, you will start two different quest chains.

One will lead you into the Barrier Hills and the other will lead you into the Lower City and then up into the Blades Edge Mountains. The second quest chain will bring your reputation with Ogri'La up first, but it actually makes the grinding easier if you do the quests in the Blades Edge Mountains and the Ogri'La quests at the same time.

One thing that you will need to remember with the Skyguard reputation quests is that most of the quests will require you to have a flying mount already, so you will be level 70 and therefore not gain any experience points for kills.

From neutral to friendly: When you start out on your reputation quests for Skyguard, you'll start in Shattrath City with the quests given by Yuula, which are “Threat From Above” and “To Skettis!”. “Threat From Above” will have you kill 20 Gordunni Ogres, and turn this in to Yuula, then you'll get “To Skettis!”, which will have you simply deliver a package to Sky Sergeant Doryn in Skettis.

Once you get to him, he'll give you the first of the daily quests, which is “Fires Over Skettis” and will have you bombed 20 Monstrous Kalari Eggs. Near him is Severin, who will also give you quests. He will give you “World of Shadows”. Once you complete that quest, you can then get “More Shadow Dust”, which is a daily quest that you can do to gain more reputation points with Skyguard. You can also get “Secrets of the Talonpriests” from Sky Commander Adaris once you have completed “World of Shadows”. Although this isn't a daily quest, it does gain you good reputation points.

From neutral to friendly: To begin this part of your reputation quest, you must have your riding skill of 300. You will get the quest “In Service of the Illidari” from Mordenai. This quest is fun, as it turns you into a fel orc when you get to the Dragonmaw Base Camp or Netherwing Ledge. It will also turn your mount into a Netherdrake. You have to deliver Illidari Service Papers to Overlord Mor'ghor who is on Netherwing Ledge. He will then give you “Enter the Taskmaster”. This quest will have you find, and speak with, Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath, who will give you the beginnings of the daily quests.

After you turn them all in, you can talk to Skyguard Handler Deesak, who will give you “Hungry Nether Rays”. This quest will have you kill 10 Blackwind Warp Chasers.

You can also get another daily quest, “Escape from Skettis” from any of the Skyguard Prisoners that you find, as this is an escort quest where you simply escort the prisoner to the ground. And, since it's a daily quest, you can do this one every day as you come across prisoners.

From here, you'll start another chain that is pretty much just running back and forth for a couple of quests. The chain starts when you kill Ishaal for the “Secrets of the Talonpriests” quest, when he will drop an Almanac that will start “Ishaal's Almanac”. You'll take this to Adaris, for that part of the chain.

You'll then get “An Ally in Lower City” from Adaris, which will have you take the almanac to Rilak.

He will then give you “Countdown to Doom”, which will have you return to Adaris.


Then, you will talk to Hazzik, who will give you “Hazzik's Bargain”. Once you turn this in, you'll get “A Shabby Disguise” and “Adversarial Blood” (this second quest is repeatable). You will want to do “Adversarial Blood” as many times as you can, as its one of the higher reputation yeilding quest for Skyguard. You will then get “Terokk's Downfall”, which is a group quest and you will need 5 good players for it. The good thing about this part is that it earns you 1000 reputation points with Skyguard.

This quest is given by Sky Commander Adaris. After doing the group quest, you should be at least to friendly, or right on the lip of it if you haven't done a lot of the daily quests.

From friendly to honored: The next area that you will go to for quests is the Blade's Edge Mountains, where the Skyguard Outpost is. You will actually get a quest from Chu'a'lor (who is Ogri'La), called “The Skyguard Outpost” that will take you there. From that point, you'll speak to Sky Commander Keller, to turn it in. He will also give you “To Rule The Skies”, which is a group quest, so make sure that you have some friends ready for this one.

You can also get “Assault on Bash'ir Landing”, after you complete the others that he gives you, which will just have you speak to someone and is an easy quest to do to gain reputation points. You'll then talk to Sky Sergeant Vanderlip who will give you “Bombing Run” which will have you bomb 15 stacks of Fel Cannonballs. Once you finish it, you'll get “Bomb Them Again”, which is another daily quest.

Then, you speak to Skyguard Khatie, who gives you “Wrangle Some Aether Rays”. Once you finish this quest, you'll get “Wrangle More Aether Rays”, which is a daily quest. Now, you find Chu'a'lor again, and he will give you “Guardian of the Monument” which is another group quest. After this quest, you'll get “An Apexis Relic” and then the daily quest “The Relic's Emanation”.

From honored to exalted: From here, you should be over honored by now, especially if you are doing the daily quests. The next two quests you'll get from Kronk, and they are: “Banish the Demons” and “Banish More Demons”, which is a daily quest. You will pretty much do the daily quests from here on in until you reach exalted.

You will also get 5 reputation points from any Skettis that you kill in the Skettis Valley, and 2 1/5 reputation points from each Skettis Kaliri that you kill in the Skettis Plateau. So, even though these aren't a lot, if you grind as you are doing your daily quests, you can rack up some extra reputation points each day.

Your Sha'tari Skyguard NetherRay: Once you hit exalted with Skyguard, you will also need to have a level 300 Artisan riding skill and 200 gold to gain your NetherRay. There are several colors to choose from: blue, purple, green, silver, and red.
