This week, I have been working towards my 59th rep, and after a couple of days of old-school grinding, I had it.
That rep is Kurenei, with the Ogres of Nagrand.
I’m going to write a tiny post about how I went about gaining that rep. There might be more efficient ways to farm it, but this suited my current on/off mood.
Location (unscientifically tested!)
1. Northwind Cleft
- 31 ogres to kill per lap
- takes about 2mins per lap
- 6-8 beads gained (including respawns on the way back)
- Start outside, kill and loot all. In cave, turn right until you can’t. Turn 180 then follow same proceedure. Lots of ores in this cave too.
- Pros: nice circular route, fast respawning ogres, good mining nodes
- Cons: lots of levellers and popular with other rep grinders as lots of websites suggest this site
Start here, enter cave and keeeeel.
2. Laughing Skull Ruins (near ring of blood)
- 29-32 ogres to kill per lap
- takes about 2mins per lap
- 10-12 beads gained (including any respawns en route)
- Start at one end and work your way across vertically following the mini village layout
- Pros: more beads, out in the open (I hate caves!)
- Cons: heavily contested by levellers and others in the area
Rep Gain
- Make sure you do all the relevant quests, this should take you to almost revered
- You get 11 rep per ogre plus the Warbeads you can hand in at Telaa. I handed the beads in every 100 stack, but others prefer to save those towards Consortium rep and just grind ogres. I personally find that a bit soul destroying, but each to their own.
To summarise – it’s a mean grind but you feel it goes quite quickly as you have quest items to hand in for instant reward. You pick up a LOT of netherweave cloth too – stacks of the stuff – so that’s a nice perk. Lots of competition for mobs though, so I always did it later at night.
Hope this helps!
Congrats! I’m only at 45 right now. Slowly making my way up there… lol
Thanks! You can do it! /cheer
Grats π The Kurenei also have a lovely leather skirt that is available from them at high reputation. Unfortunately it turns into ugly leather pants for their horde counterpart…. completely irrelevant but thought you might like that bit of transmog trivia π
BTW Welcome back!!!
I did enjoy it π and many thanks!
