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.

The Anglers

QuartermasterNat 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.

Check out our guide to The Anglers for an in-depth look at this faction.

The August Celestials

QuartermasterSage LotusbloomSage 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.

Exalted Rewards:

Golden Lotus

QuartermasterJaluu the Generous, Vale of Eternal Blossoms
How to Gain Reputation: To begin questing with Golden Lotus, you'll need to prove yourself to the Pandaren at the Temple of the White Tiger in Kun-Lai Summit. You'll be able to fly into Vale of Eternal Blossoms otherwise, but many areas will be phased.

As you gain reputation with Golden Lotus, more quest hubs will unlock with 4-5 quests each. You'll first start out at the Golden Pagoda hub with sending you to The Golden Stair at Friendly, and go up from there. Each hub has several sets of quests and additional side quests at Revered. The final daily quest of the day will be to kill an elite that also rewards  Treasures of the Vale which can have a variety of useful things inside like high-level recipes. Killing all the various elites awards  One Many Army.

There's also a one-time quest series that progresses further as your reputation increases, rewarding you with ilvl 440 rings, ilvl 463 chests, and epic necks.

Opening chests hidden around the zone can yield  Relic of Guo-Lai and  Relic of the Thunder King which permanently increase your reputation.

The Klaxxi

QuartermasterAmbersmith Zikk, Dread Wastes
How to Gain Reputation: To grind rep with The Klaxxi, you'll have to do a long questline inDread Wastes starting with  Psycho Mantid. This should get you to Honored at least. You can also turn in 20 Dread Shards from any mob for  Seeds of Fear. There's a chain involving a killer pet, Kovok, too.

As you gain more reputation and proceed in the questline, you free more Klaxxi elders and get more and more dailies. At this point, you can request buffs from them, Enhancements andAugments.

The Lorewalkers

QuartermasterTan Shin Tiao, Vale of Eternal Blossoms
How to Gain Reputation: As the keepers of Pandaren culture,The Lorewalkers go hand-in-hand with the spirit of Archaeology. The unusual reputation grind fits the nature of these cultural librarians, and reputation rewards enhance this profession.

Each monument in Pandaria is tied to an achievement. Upon visiting all the monuments for an achievement, you will be mailed a scroll that begins a quest. Both completing the achievement and turning in the scroll to Lorewalker Cho will give reputation. Turning in all the scrolls will net you Exalted.

When you turn the scroll in, Lorewalker Cho will automatically reenact a story for you that sheds light on Pandaren lore. You can hear these stories again anytime by talking to Lorewalker Cho.

Check out our guide to the Lorewalkers for an in-depth look at the faction.

Rewards:
At Friendly, you will be able to speak to Brann Bronzebeard and purchase crates of old-world fragments ( Crate of Dwarven Archaeology Fragments) if you have max level archaeology.

Order of the Cloud Serpent

QuartermasterSan Redscale, The Jade Forest

You'll start off with a cloud serpent egg and raise the hatched serpent to maturity, doing daily quest that involve competitive races along the way. You can also turn in eggs for additional reputation:  Onyx To Goodness.

At Exalted, you'll get the serpent you raised to maturity:  Reins of the Jade Cloud SerpentReins of the Azure Cloud Serpent Reins of the Golden Cloud Serpent.Players also automatically learn  Cloud Serpent Riding and are now eligible to train the cloud serpent critters in the zone as battle pets.

Shado-Pan

QuartermasterRushi the Fox, Townlong Steppes

With each hub comes a special buff as well as a choice of three companions that will help DPS. When first starting out, players can "recruit" more companions by defeating them in combat, such as  The Challenger's Ring: Hawkmaster Nurong.

There is a meta-achievement for completing Shado-Pan dailies in a bunch of ways,  The Shado-Master, which rewards the title Shado-Master.

The Tillers

QuartermasterGina Mudclaw, Valley of the Four Winds
How to Gain Reputation:Gaining reputation with The Tillers, in Valley of the Four Winds, is much more complex than any other Pandaria faction. You'll harvest a variety of crops yielding everything from vegetables to profession materials, gain reputation through a series of quests to expand your farm, and also gain friendship with 10 Tiller NPCs who enhance your farm in Halfhill.

The Tillers have three main components:
  • Farming: how to plant, grow, and maintain crops, as well as how to expand a farm.
  • Tillers Union: the main questline in which the player wins union votes from Halfhill residents, daily quests, and Tillers reputation rewards.
  • Friendship: NPCs have their own "friendship" bars--becoming their "Best Friend" allows you to unlock additional rewards for your farm.
Rewards:
There are rewards both for gaining reputation with the Tillers, as well as increasing friendship with Tiller NPCs.
