I've found some invaluable Wowhead guides (linked below) to help explain the rep grinding process for each of the factions, since earning reputation isn't exactly the same as in previous expansions.
Some quests, no dailies, just grinding. Killing mobs generally grants 5 - 16 reputation (not taking into account reputation bonuses), depending on the difficulty of the creature killed.
- Council of Exarchs (Alliance) - Pet: Draenei Micro Defender
Summary: Just complete all of the related quests and you should be Revered by the end. If not, kill level 100 mobs in specific areas of Shadowmoon Valley (Draenor) for additional reputation.
- Frostwolf Orcs (Horde) - Pet: Frostwolf Pup
Summary: Just complete all of the related quests and you should be Revered by the end. If not, kill level 100 mobs in specific areas of Frostfire Ridge for additional reputation.
- Arakkoa Outcasts - Pet: Son of Sethe
Summary: Completing all of the related quests will get you Honored but you need to be Revered to purchase the pet. To earn the rest, kill level 100 mobs in specific areas of Spires of Arak.
Summary: Kill level 100 elite mobs in northern Nagrand (Draenor) and/or loot caches in the surrounding area to collect items to turn in for rep. Named elite mobs drop special items that reward an especially larger chunk of reputation.
- Sha'tari Defense (Alliance) - Pet: Sky Fry
Summary: No quests or dailies. Kill level 100 mobs in specific areas of Talador to earn reputation. Accessing the quartermaster requires a garrison Trading Post, level 2.
- Laughing Skull (Horde) - Pet: Bone Wasp
Summary: No quests or dailies. Kill level 100 mobs in specific areas of Gorgrond to earn reputation. Accessing the quartermaster requires a garrison Trading Post, level 2.
I hate faction exclusive mounts as is and now faction exclusive pets. I hope none of the Alliance pets are must haves for pet battles, I only play Horde.
ReplyDelete@XboxProductions: The difference (and good thing) about the WoD faction exclusive pets is that they're all cageable (or almost all, I can't remember). Unlike mounts, you could trade for them and add them to your collection without even grinding a lick of reputation. And with the faction AH being merged, should make it even more convenient to pick up the "other side's" pets. :D
DeleteI think I may boost a Horde character to 90 since I only have a level 90 Alliance character. Thanks for the info. That Frostwolf pup is going to be hard to pass up. :)
ReplyDelete@Deloriage: I'm definitely using my boost on a horde for the pets! :) I'm having trouble picking just what class I want to play though lol.
