Arakkoa Outcasts Exalted

 

 69th Exalted Faction is Arakkoa Outcasts

 

After the initial questing in Spires of Arak, the remainder of the Arakkoa Outcasts reputation was earned my garrison. On McTacky and my alts I did the The Bloodmane Scrolls garrison mission for Relic of Rukhmar (which give 2500 rep each). At last I hit exalted.

 

Not a thrilling story, but I am still grinding out the other WoD reputations.

 

Arakkoa Outcasts & Mangle of the Talon King 

Emperor Shaohao Exalted

 

 

66th Exalted Faction is Emperor Shaohao

 

 

2:52 AM Late last night I finally finished this faction.

I first arrived on Timeless Isle island 13 September 2013 at 11:33 PM.

Big thanks to Luxy for being with me for most of the grind, but also thanks to Sars, Crooked, Aza, Putress, Navi,  HK, Faithless for helping me a lot as well!

 

Avengers of Hyjal Exalted

65th Exalted Faction is the Avengers of Hyjal

 

Yes this post is 10 days late. I'll upload a bunch of screenshot from the adventures later, but it involved going to Firelands and killing bosses again and again until the rep hit Exalted. Big thanks for Azadelta, Owl and Lushen letting me tag along their mount runs in Firelands.

Hydraxian Waterlords Exalted

64th Exalted Faction is the Hydraxian Waterlords.

 

 

Using the [Battle Standard of Coordination] and guild perk [Mr. Popularity] I was able to get 1328 Hydraxian Waterlords reputation every run. Without these two things I'd only be getting 1050 rep per run. That saves you 4 runs during the Revered to Exalted grind (from 20 full clears to 15.8) needed.

 

Now some various screenshots of me doing MC over a long period of time:

Sunreavers Onslaught Exalted



Are those actual Mogu or statues of Mogu?

 

63rd Exalted Faction is the Sunreaver Onslaught

 

Once again I am exalted with the Sunreavers. Clearly they had forgotten all I had done for them in Icecrown. I've been very slow with this rep faction, I started with them on March 6. I did all their story quests, but only did the dallies after I'd finished with the other daily factions.

The Black Prince faction hit exalted while on these dallies and is the 63rd Exalted Faction, but I missed that screenshot. More on The Black Prince later.

 

First arrival at the island.

Another Sneaking Mission and the drama.

Pic from clearing the dailies on the last and the first day. (Soultouched is actually Disconcur who got back the name Disconcur on Saurfang)

Dominance Offensive Exalted

 

62nd Exalted Faction is The Dominance Offensive!

 

There is so much about this faction and it's quests. The daily quests themselves weren't too bad but the highlights were the story quests.

Have a bunch of screenshots of some of the highlights! If you haven't done the chain, skip this one. This will have spoilers.

Battle over Dalaran! Sad seeing the JC Shop empty, but at least got to evacuate some Horde NPCs.

Working with Blood Elves in Kun-Lai Summit! The quest bugged out for me and I had 2 rangers.

Infiltrating Darnassus. Had to be extra cautious with this one. Felt like a real Rogue!

Sigh. You are just so annoying Garrosh. First the Sha-Touched Grunts in the Vale. Then your drama over that bell. 

 Meeting Thrall in Valley of Trials was cool. The sort of thing Atain would have really enjoyed.

August Celestials Exalted

Arrgh! Don't blink!

 

61st Exalted Faction is the August Celestials.

 

This faction did not take me long at all. Most of the rep was obtained from After getting a heap of Stolen Celestial Insignia after killing several Zandalri Warbringers with Navimie, Luxypie and HK. I grabbed the Grand Commendation of the August Celestials, and after a few days of dallies I exalted.

 

This was the last of the reputations required for Pandaren Ambassador so I got my Pandaren Kite String.

 

Next up: The Dominance Offensive

Order of the Cloud Serpent Exalted

McTacky with an [Onyx Egg] on Windward Isle.

 

60th Exalted Faction is the Order of the Cloud Serpent.

 

When Patch 5.3 Escalation arrived there was one place I had to go.Windward Isle. Armed with a [Grand Commendation of the Order of the Cloud Serpent] I went [Onyx Egg] hunting.

 

No one else was around and with easy I grabbed enough eggs to get the rep.

The Beloved Title also.

The Golden Lotus Exalted

 

 

59th Exalted Faction is the Golden Lotus.

 

After getting a heap of [Stolen Golden Lotus Insignia] after killing several Zandalri Warbringers with Navimie, Luxypie and HK, I was near exalted. I did some dailies and was 50 rep off Exalted still.. Luxypie gave me After a [Hozen Peace Pipe] from Luxypie I hit exalted.

Thanks for all the help!

 

Order of the Cloud Serpent next. 

Klaxxi Exalted

 

58th Exalted Faction is the Klaxxi.

 

Not much to say here. I really hate the Dread Wastes and not going back there for quest again is a good thing. The Klaxxi storyline also didn't hold my intrest. Dread Wastes is pretty much all about the Klaxxi.

 

The exception was the quests out of Soggy's Gamble which I did enjoy.

 

Next I will focus on the Golden Lotus rep. I am only Honored with them still.

The Anglers Exalted

My 57th Exalted Reputation is The Anglers of Pandaria.

With the [Grand Commendation of the Anglers] I was getting 1100 rep per quest, so 3300 rep a day, so I only had to do their quests for a few days and I was done.

 

Nat Pagle's Friendship... that is far more tricky.

 

Meanwhile The Kalaxxi and Golden Lotus is getting close to Revered now, and I'll have to remember to pick up their Grand Commendations.

Wrong Tabard

So it was Love is in the Air. I don't have the [Big Love Rocket]. So I log into Wow for the first time in months.* I say hello to guildies who hadn't seen me in a while. But something was amiss.

Something was wrong.



What am I wearing!?

What is that Tabard!? That isn't my [Blood Knight Tabard]! I log in and check. It is the [Huojin Tabard], I hadn't finished off the Huojin Pandaren Faction.

I didn't care about the [Big Love Rocket] anymore. I was determined by the end of the day I would finish off the Huojin Pandaren Faction Rep and get rid of that tabard. So off to Shadow Labyrinth (or Shadow Labs if you are cool)!


Grandmaster Vorpil with Friends

 

So the rep was done. 56th Exalted Rep. I sold that [Huojin Tabard] and was back in my [Blood Knight Tabard]. Also as a bonus buying all the Huojin Mounts gave me the [We're Going to Need More Saddles] achievement.

 

Looking Good!

 

But that wasn't enough. Not by far. I also noticed on my Rep List that Sho of The Tillers was the only one I wasn't Best Friends with. I couldn't let that stand. So I flew around Valley of the Four Winds gathering gifts for her. Eventually getting [Friends on the Farm]

 

Not Shown: Flying Around, Staring at the Ground for Hours for Lighter Coloured Ground.

So the Tiller now were done, right? I'd maxed the friendships and had all the cooking recipies. Yes, but No. I hadn't collected the 50 [Ironpaw Token] for the [Cooking School Bell]. So I decided to do the Daily for the [Ironpaw Token]. But... I may as well do the other dallies at Half Hill that were at the same spot.

Then I saw my Angeler's Rep was half way to Exalted, so there was no harm in doing the fishing quests too...

 

Then I realised it was 3am and I had spent the whole afteroon and night playing World of Warcraft and I had to get up for work in a few hours.

 

It's Raining, why did I have to use a [Rusty Watering Can] again?

 

So I sleep. Work. Get back home and Log back into WoW. Try again for [Big Love Rocket]. Do Dalies for Half Hill and the Anglers. Then I realise I can buy Grand Commendations to make it go faster. So I get the Grand Commendations I can, and dive into doing Dalies for Golden Lotus, Kalaxxi and Order of the Cloud Serpent.

 

So I find myself hooked again to World of Warcraft.

 

* Actually I popped on during Lunar Festival to see if anything was new, but that wasn't for long since there was nothing new.
