Mists of Pandaria: Reputation Quick Facts
posted 10 hr 23 min ago by perculia
There are eight new factions in Mists of Pandaria: four have epic gear rewards, while the other four have quirky vanity items. All have epic mounts and detailed tabards as Exalted rewards.
Reputations are a bit different to grind in Mists of Pandaria--the old system of equipping a tabard and farming dungeons has been removed. Tabards only serve vanity purposes now and reputation is gained by doing daily quests. Each faction has a compelling story behind it and the daily quests are interesting and varied, such as completing a racecourse on a cloud serpent.
Below you'll find quick facts for every faction: where their quartermaster is located, how to gain reputation, and rewards. You can visit Wowhead's faction pages for more information, as well as our beta previews linked in each overview.
Quartermaster: Nat Pagle, Krasarang Wilds
How to Gain Reputation: Various NPCs in Krasarang Wilds will give fishing daily quests that award reputation and skillups. There is also a quest chain in southern Dread Wastes that awards reputation.
In addition, Nat Pagle has a friendship meter. Nat's friendship increases by turning in one of these three rare fish:
Flying Tiger Gourami, 
Mimic Octopus, 
Spinefish Alpha. There are several things you can get by raising your "friendship" with him: 
Nat's Hat as his Best Friend, and 
Nat's Fishing Journal. You can use 12 of these books to level to 600 Fishing on an alt, but they cost 1,000 each.

Quartermaster: Sage Lotusbloom, Sage Whiteheart in Vale of Eternal Blossoms
How to Gain Reputation: Gaining reputation with The August Celestials is done through questing. Players will be sent to one of the four temples (Tiger in Kun-Lai, Crane in Krasarang, Serpent in Jade Forest, Ox in Townlong) after asking the Quartermaster where help is needed the most.
Players also gain reputation through a series of daily quests in the Cradle of Chi-Ji, the birthplace of the Red Crane, the Southern Celestial. It is currently where young Pandaren initiates train under Thelonius. What starts off as a playful battle with initiate Ellia Ravenmane turns into something much darker, as she is unhealthily obsessed with winning and fights out of despair. Her letters to you after defeat get more and more upset.
You need Revered with the Golden Lotus to unlock these dailies.
