The Sunreaver Onslaught is a faction that was added to Mists of Pandaria as of Patch 5.2. This new faction can be found on the Isle of Thunder.

The Sunreaver Onslaught is a Horde only faction, the Alliance equivelent is the Kirin Tor Offensive.

Earning Reputation with the Sunreaver Onslaught

As with most Mists of Pandaria factions, reputation with the Sunreaver Onslaught is mainly gained by completing daily quests. These quests are found on the Isle of Thunder and while not identical, are very similar for both the Sunreaver Onslaught and the Kirin Tor Offensive.

You can find a guide for the daily quests here: Isle of Thunder Daily Quests.

In addition to completing daily quests, there are a few different solo scenarios that become available to you as you make your way through the Isle of Thunder. These become available as your faction unlocks the various stages of the isle. These scenarios are in place to help tell you the backstory about the isle and your fight to gain access to the Throne of Thunder to stop the Thunderking. They also grant reputation when you complete them.

You can find more information about them here: Isle of Thunder Solo Scenarios.
NOTE: While the solo scenario guide is based on the Alliance scenarios they are very similar for the Horde with only location and character differences.

In addition to reputation earned while completing the daily quests for the Sunreaver Onslaught, you will earn a small amount of gold and 5 valor points per quest completed. Since there are roughly 12 quests to complete per day, this can add up over time. Reputation wise, you will earn 1850 reputation per day if you complete all of the quests available.

Tips for Gaining Reputation Faster

While adventuring on the Isle of Thunder your will find items called Tattered Historical Parchments. These can be turned into the quartermaster at the rate of 1 for a Sunreaver Onslaught Insignias or 10 for a Greater Sunreaver Onslaught Insignias. The normal insignias grant 25 reputation when used and the greaters grant 250 reputation when used. No matter which you purchase, the important thing is to save them until you reach revered with the Sunreaver Onslaught.

Once you reach revered you will be able to purchase a Grand Commendation of the Sunreaver Onslaught. This item will grant you a permanent 100% bonus to all reputation with the faction.

Once you have the Grand Commendation, then turn in all of your saved insignias for double the effect that they would have otherwised granted.

Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation Rewards

The Sunreaver offer some rewards to WoW players as they increase thier reputation with them.

Since this faction is more about PVE / PVP content and not the actual raid content on the Isle of Thunder, the rewards that they offer are not as desirable for raid players as other valor items available as of patch 5.2. Raiders will be far more interested in the valor items available from the Shado-Pan Assault than they will be from the Sunreaver Onslaught..

However, since the Shado-Pan Assault requires you to participate in raid content, the items here will be useful to those players that do not raid.

One of the great items available for non-raiding players is the Blood Spirit item used for crafting. These are available for 400 valor and make it possilbe to craft high end items without raiding for the materials.

Once you become honored with the Sunreaver you will be able to buy item level 476 belts from the quartermaster for 300 gold. While most raid players will have a belt of higher item level than this already, it should help those that have fallen behind, or those that do not raid. It is especially nice for alts since they can be purchased for gold and do not require valor points.

The valor point items do not become available until you reach Revered and Exalted. At Revered you can purchase item level 496 cloaks for 937 valor points. Once you reach exalted you will be able to purchase item level 496 rings for 937 valor points as well.

Maybe the best reason to grind reputation with the Sunreaver Onslaught though is the mount that becomes available for purchase at exalted. After all who doesn't want the ability to ride a giant triceritops!

Who wouldn't want to have this dino as a mount?

Sunreaver Onslaught Quartermaster

The quartermaster for the Sunreaver Onslaught is Vasarin Redmorn. You will be able to find him at the Sunreaver Onslaught base on the Ise of Thunder.
