Cashing in on Reputation Items

By completing certain quests, killing certain creatures, or collecting certain items, you can gain reputation with various factions. When you do this, you will have access to special quests or special items that are sold by their vendors. Many players are willing to spend a lot of time and money to increase their reputation up to Revered and Exalted. This is where you come in. Many of the items that are needed to increase reputation can be found throughout the Outlands and are NOT Bind on Pickup. What this means for you is that you can collect stacks of these items and sell them for a lot of gold at the Auction House or in the town where the reputation is needed. The following sections cover many of the items that are needed to build up reputation as well as the best places where they can be found.

Aldor
The first item needed to build up your reputation to Honored with Aldor are Marks of Kil'jaeden . My favorite place to go for these is in Nagrand. Once there, go inside of Oshu'Gun and you will find a lot of Terrorguards and Kil'sorrow Ritualists . Both of these drop these marks about 50% of the time and they will also drop a lot of Netherweave as well. Another great place is over in Terokkar Forest at the Bone Wastes. In the Northern and Northwestern parts of the Bone Wastes, you will find a lot of Cabal
Abjurists,
Tomb-Raiders, Spell-weavers, and Initiates.
All of them will drop these marks every 2-3 kills and will also drop a lot of Runecloth and Netherweave as well.
The other items that players need to get their Aldor reputation up to Revered and Exalted are Marks of Sargeras and Fel Armaments . The first place I go to get the Marks of Sargeras is the Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley. All throughout Legion Hold you will find Shadow Council Warlocks.
Mo'arg Weaponsmiths, and Wrathwalkers. All of these guys will drop these marks about 30-35% of the time. I farmed these for an hour and got 34 Marks and a lot of other nice loot. Another great spot also in Shadowmoon Valley is The Deathforge . You can find a lot a of Deathforge Guardians.
Deathforge Tinkerers , and Deathforge Smiths . These guys also drop the marks at a very high rate. For the Fel Armaments, I hit the same 2 places just mentioned for the Marks of Sargeras. The Fel Armaments only drop about 5% - 10% of the time so you will not be able to collect them as fast as you can the marks but they sell for a lot more at the Auction House. What's nice about these spots is that you can collect both of these items from these same 2 mobs.
Another great all-around spot is in Netherstorm at the Forge Camps Oblivion and Gehenna . All mobs in these areas can drop items needed to build up Aldor reputation along with a lot of other nice loot and on top of that they are pretty easy to kill. Some of the mobs you can expect to find here are Wrathbringers , Ironspine Forgelords , and Cyber-Rage Forgelords.


When you increase your reputation with Aldor you also increase your reputation with Sha'tar, but you decrease it with Scryer. If a player ever decides to switch over to Scryer, they first to need to build their reputation up. This can be done by turning in Dreadfang Venom Sacs to Sha'nir in the Lower City. These items can be dropped by Dreadfang Widows which are found around the edges of the Bone Waste. They can also be dropped by Dreadfang Lurkers to the North near the Cenarion Thicket . A stack of 20 sells for about 10 - 12 gold. While this isn't a ton of money, it is something you will want to collect if you are ever in these areas instead of selling them as vendor trash.

Scryer
The first item needed to build up your reputation to Honored with the Scryers are Firewing Signets . As the name suggests, one of the best places to get these is over at Firewing Point . There you can find tons of Firewings such as Firewing Warlocks , Bloodwarders , and Defenders . I was able to get these about every two kills. In addition to the signets, these guys also drop a ton of Runecloth and Netherweave cloth.
The other items that players need to get their Scryer reputation up to Revered and Exalted are Sunfury Signets and Arcane Tomes . Netherstorm is the best place to go for Sunfury Signets. At each of the Manaforges such as Ara , B'Naar , and Cooru , you can find various Sunfury mobs that drop the Scryer reputation items. The mobs that you will run into here are around level 67 and include Blood Knights , Bloodwarders , and Researchers . Because there is a Mana Forge on just about every island, this will actually be a nice convenience for you because if 1 or 2 of these are getting hit a lot, you can easily head over to another island and continue working on collecting these items. The Arcane Tomes can be dropped off these same guys as well. Again, this makes it very nice for you because you can be collecting all of Scryer reputation items from the same mobs. In addition to reputation items, you will get a lot of green loot from these guys as well as some blues.
Just as with Aldor, increasing your reputation with the Scryer will also increase your reputation with Sha'tar but will decrease it with Aldor. If a player wants to switch to Aldor, they first need to build up their reputation with the Scryer. To do this, players need to turn in Dampscale Basilisk Eyes.
Arcanist Adyria in the Lower City. These items can be dropped by Dampscale Devourers near the rivers at the Raastok Glade and the Ironspine Petrifiers near Silmyr Lake at the northern part of the zone. Stacks of these sell for about 10-12 gold as well.

Sporeggar
One of the ways to increase one's reputation with the Sporeggar is by turning in Glowcaps . These mushroom-like objects can be collected all throughout the region between Sporeggar and Zabra'Jin . A stack of these sells for about 7 gold. I spent an hour collecting these with my mount and was able to collect about 80 of them. Figuring in all the vendor trash and other items collected from any kills, this would net you about 50-60 Gold per hour just from gathering these Glowcaps. It's not a ton of gold but it is easy money especially for those that can't take on the higher level mobs yet.

Possibly the best way however to make money on items needed for Sporeggar reputation is through the Fertile Spores . These sell for about 2 Gold a piece on the servers I play on and are very easy to obtain. The mobs that I found to drop these most often are the Fen Striders, Greater Spore Bats , and Marsh Walkers . These guys are everywhere in Zangarmarsh, but primarly around the shallow waters. I know this doesn't narrow it down for you too much but that's just how plentiful these guys are in Zangarmarsh. From personal experience, I found the best spots to find a lot of these on the Western side of Zangarmarsh near the shallow waters surrounding Marshlight Lake . These Fertile Spores stack very high so they won't take up a lot of space in your inventory while you are collecting them. With the going rate of almost 2 Gold each, this is a very easy way to make a ton of gold per hour just from Fertile Spores and other loot found along the way.
Bog Lord Tendrils and Mature Spore Sacs are also needed for reputation by players but they don't sell for as much as the other items such as the Fertile Spores do. With that, don't bother farming these but if you get them as loot, they are worth holding onto because they can stack up to 200 and will sell for a decent amount of change at the Auction House. It's just not worth enough to dedicate your time to farming these exclusively.

Cenarion Expedition
To increase reputation here, players will need to obtain Unidentified Plant
Parts. These plant parts are needed for reputation in 2 different ways: 1) The plants themselves are worth reputation and 2) When you turn in the plants to Lauranna Thar'well , she will give you Package of Identified Plants.
These packages have a chance to give you Uncatalogued Species which are worth even more reputation. This makes the Unidentified Plant Parts popular in the Auction House. These can be collected off just about any mob in Zangarmarsh but a good spot that I like to go to is the Umbrafen Lake for the Umbrafen Eels . These guys drop them about 40% of the time making it very easy to collect a lot of these in a short amount of time. These items sell for about 7 Gold per stack in the Auction House. Again, not a ton of money but you are going to be going through Zangarmarsh sooner or later so you may as well collect these while you are there for some easy money.
Also, if you head into Steam Vault, be sure to collect all the Coilfang Armaments that you can find. These are worth a lot of reputation points and sell for about 12 Gold each!!

The Consortium
The Consortium need players to turn in Oshu'gun Crystal Fragments to increase their reputation. The fastest and easiest way to collect these is all around the outside of Oshu'gun . They can be gathered from the ground and dropped as loot from all of the nearby mobs. These crystals sell very well in the Auction House for about 12 Gold per stack. I was able to pick up over 100 of these in an hours worth of work which came to about 90 Gold after selling the crystals and green loot collected from the mobs. Another item needed by players are Pairs of Ivory Tusks . These are dropped by Wild Elekk in Nagrand and the drop rate is ridiculously good. The pair of Ivory Tusks go for about 2-5 Gold each! These Wild Elekk are easy to kill and can be found everywhere in this zone making it very easy to farm these guys. After an hour of focusing just on these Wild Elekks, I made well over 100 Gold per hour from the Tusks and all the other loot.

The Lower City
To build up reputation in the Lower City, players need to obtain Arakkoa Feathers. There are 2 excellent spots in Terrokar Forest to collect these feathers. The first is to the south of Shattrath in an area called Veil Skith.
Here you will find a lot of Skithian Dreadhawks and Skithian Windrippers.
The other great spot is in the northeast corner of the zone at Veil Reskk.
Here you will find a lot of Shienor Talonites , Shienor Sorcerers , and Shienor Wing Guards. For both spots, the drop rate is awesome and it's not uncommon to get multiple feathers for each kill. In addition to the feathers, all of these guys also drop a ton of Netherweave Cloth which is a nice supplement to the feathers for making a lot of gold here. With the feathers that sell for about 15 Gold for a stack of 20 and the other loot that is dropped from these guys, this will earn you between 90-100 Gold per hour! Also, you should post messages in Shattrath when you are ready to sell them because people there will pay more for the convenience of not having to collect them or go to an Auction House to buy them.
