“A
man's
reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he
really
is.”

“Faction
grinding.” Two words that usher a host of gruesome
thoughts for any MMO player. It seems to
have become a necessary evil of MMOs. WoW is no exception to this
blight. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Reputation
rewards are one of the few things in WoW that a player has control over.
They may not be easy to obtain, but at least
you know what you will receive. No
questions asked, obtain the correct faction and get item.
It’s that simple. There
is no waiting for a chance of an item drop.
Hell even when an item drops you may still need to roll against a
competing player. AND if that’s not bad enough, a player may
be forced to deal
with one of the most horrific of all WoW enemies. The Loot Ninja, the
scourge
of raiding for gear.

Obtaining these reputations is pretty
standard. Locate the corresponding quest, accept
quests, complete and turn in quests.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat until Exalted.
In addition to questing players can wear a tabard of the faction they
are attempting to gain favor with, while running level 80 instances.
Tabards can only be purchased up gaining
friendly status with the faction. It’s a
fantastic improvement over the previous run the same set of instances
over and
over again. An industrious player can gain exalted status with any
reputation
in mere days. I myself could not, but I
am far from industrious.

Fret not, by the time I hit 80 as a
Horde Shaman my WotLK
reputation looked like this.

Argent
Crusade – Friendly
Kirin
Tor – Friendly
Knights
of the Ebon Blade – Neutral (of course I
just hit Icecrown, so this is a little low)
The
Kalu’ak – Revered
The
Sons of Hodir – Friendly
The
Wyrmrest Accord – Honored
Horde
Expedition – Revered
Frenzyheart
Tribe – Hated
The
Oracles - Honored

Gearing the shaman all depends on
what kind of shaman you’ve
decided to build for yourself. It can
make deciding where to focus. Since just
about every faction has something for your shaman. Here’s a
quick little easy
chart for you folks to follow. This is not a complete list of items,
but a
guide. Slot enhancements and patterns
have been omitted. Sorry to break it to
Blizzard, but we aren’t all Jewel Crafters. Which seems to be
the
disproportionate amount of faction based recipes. If you are
a Jewel Crafter, become exalted
with every faction in the game, or maybe it just seems that way.
Where’s the
Alchemy love Blizzard?

Argent
Crusade

There are a number of daily quests
players can select
from. Choose four a day at 250
reputation apiece.

The Kalu’ak

By the time you are level 80, you
should be close to revered
or revered with these guys. If you are just short, hit a few of the
daily
quests. Go ahead and do the creepy and sometimes inappropriate feeling
“Planning for the Future” quest. It just
feels so wrong. Once Revered head over
and collect your blue items.

Sons of Hodir

There are many great enhancements

Not worth the investment of time at the beginning. Daily

Ulduar, and you thought they were just for booze? For shame people, for
shame.

Factions in Sholazar Basin can be
switched by battling
Artruis the Heartless. He’s the lich

Both sides have a random selection of daily
