Episode # 19: We're insane now! Part 3

Click here to listen to this week's audio short!

Intro

Here we are back again for another installment of our "Insane" mini-series. Part three will be a combination of the various factions that make up the group known as The Steamwheedle Cartel. That means this week we will be looking at a combination of Booty Bay, Everlook, Gadgetzan, and Ratchet. You will need to raise all of these to exalted before you can claim the achievement so lets look at how that is done!

The Steamwheedle Faction Group

Getting Started

To get started you need to know, as is with most of these factions, that it pretty much revolves around just killing and not much more. There are a couple quests, but in the long term you are really better off just killing. These factions are all grouped together, and this helps because you will gain some shared experience so as you work on one it will help others.

Pirates, ready for the killing

The other way they are linked is that these all share a love of you killing Southsea pirates for them. So get ready to kill somewhere around 26,000 of them. It is best to take a friend, or a few and just have fun killing pirates and hanging out in game. In places like Tanaris there are loads of Southsea pirates, making it a great place to farm them. Some people also recommend killing Venture Company enemies in Stranglethorn or Grizzly Hills.

What am I working towards?

Well, other than maybe some protection by the local guards and the discounts on buying items you are not looking at much in the way of rewards except that this, combined with the previous two factions, will leave you within one faction of being certified as insane.

You might be tired, but you are so close!

Conclusion

Again, not a lot of rewards, and mostly killing, but after this you have only one faction remaining before you can claim the title of "The Insane" Yes, you are so close! Keep pushing to the end! Thank you for reading, and hope this guide is helping you get closer to this awesome goal! We will be back next week to finish off the mini-series by becoming fully insane as we reach exalted with the Darkmoon Faire! Until then, take care and may the light be with you!

Episode # 18: We're insane now! Part 2

Click here to listen to this week's audio short!

Intro

I just returned from my vacation to Irvine, and ready to start our second part of this "Insane" mini-series. This week we will be looking at the faction, The Bloodsail Buccaneers. Again, we are talking about an older faction with a simple way to raise your status, and you guessed it, it involves a lot of killing.

Booty Bay

Getting Started

Quite simply, the easiest way to do this is to head down to Booty Bay, and level the inhabitants and guards of the city until they return, and do it again, and again. Yep you got it, just kill. The great part is that for this faction you only actually need to become honored for the achievement. (Light be praised!) Booty Bay NPCs, Bruisers, and Admiral Jorrik all offer reputation. Overall, you are looking at something in the range of about 2,500 kills before accounting for reputation boosts you may have.

Yep, killing, killing, and more killing.

What am I working towards?

Well, this is another segment getting you closer to being labeled, "The Insane". This reputation grind also will give you the chance to do the quest, "Avast Ye, Admiral" The reward is the [Bloodsail Admiral's Hat] which is not only a cool hat, but also summons you a parrot. Pretty awesome, huh?

Having a breakdown yet?

Conclusion

Another faction down, just a few more to go! We will be back next week with another faction on our way to becoming fully insane. Thanks for listening/reading! Take care, and may the light be with you!
