Episode # 15 : Monkey Business!

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

Intro

Enemies of the Pearlfin, this group of hozen has united with the horde. You will soon find that they love you for your fishing skills. You will also have to beat your fear of bugs to help them and their members, and you will also learn of their love for explosives as you aid them in various quests.

The throne

Getting Started

Just like the Pearlfin for the Alliance players, you will be naturally led to this faction by following the early quest lines in the Jade Forest. These two factions mirror each other in the amount of effort it takes to reach exalted with them. After just a few quests you will be finished and will have beaten back the Pearlfin forces. You will be able to complete the reputation gain in just a matter of minutes, and will be on your way to even more!

Just hangin' out

What am I working towards?

Again, there is nothing glorious to be had, but for pet collectors, you are able to get [Fishy] the fish in a bubble to go with you on your journey. This is also one place to stop and gear up your character if you need some new gear to boost your current gear.

"I wanna watch the scary monkey show"

Conclusion

This is the end of the second half of this pair of reputations we will be looking at. We will be back next week with an even more enticing faction so be sure to stay tuned. Sorry I have been a little slow the last couple weeks and done a couple simple factions, I have been having a lot of dental work done and that got in the way.

See you back here next week! May the light be with you!

Episode # 14 : This seem's a little fishy!

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

Intro

Their command center

Finding themselves in a new and unfamiliar land the alliance was able to gain the trust of a group of jinyu called the Pearlfin. They are bitter enemies of the Forest Hozen who aligned themselves with the horde. This is a simple reputation gain completed in a matter of a very short time as you complete quests in the Jade Forest.

Getting Started

The natural progression of quests in the Jade Forest will take you into Pearlfin Village and from there you will begin to complete tasks for this faction that will help gain their trust as well as help you complete your mission with the alliance.

Pearlfin Village

There is about 11 quests which by the time you complete them will leave you exalted with the Pearlfin. These are basic quests, no killing elites or running instances so even as you complete these quests in the normal progression of leveling you will be exalted extremely fast.


What am I working towards?

There are no notable faction rewards, though your final quest, "Let them Burn" will reward you with a blue item as well as [Fishy] the companion pet which is a neat little fish in a floating bubble.

Fish wranglin'

Conclusion

Super fast and easy reputation gain at the content's level or above makes this super easy to do. There is no reason to not grab this faction and add it to your list of completed reputation list.

We'll be back next week with another tip for you horde players featuring the Forest Hozen. If you have a faction you would like us to highlight, please let us know. Until then, may the light be with you!

Episode #13 : Gotta get that crane!

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

Intro

This week we head back to Pandaria and try to earn some of the great rewards there. We will be looking at the Golden Lotus this week. They are the guardians of the vale and even though a lot has changed there it is still a great faction to pursue!

The Vale

Getting Started

You have a few things to do to begin to work towards exalted with this faction. First is to complete the quest "Temple of the White Tiger" then "A Celestial Experience" where you till be tasked with trials to prove yourself. Next you will receive the quest "A Witness to History" where you actually get to see the gates of the vale opened.

Other than these quests the next work to do is begin to work on the various daily quests that are handed out at the Setting Sun Garrison. There are a handful quest givers there that will help you out every day.

Be sure that you have elected to champion for the Golden Lotus as well so that so that doing random scenarios and dungeons will reward bonus experience for you as well.

Golden Lotus Reps in the Alliance City

Inside the vale various enemies in the zone will reward differing amounts of experience depending on how powerful they are. In theory you could just kill your way to exalted if you wanted to.


What am I working towards

There are great rewards and achievements that come with exalted status, but many are offered to those with neutral standing now. This means that one of the only reasons left to work all the way to exalted is to get the [Reins of the Azure Riding Crane] , [Reins of the Golden Riding Crane] , or [Reins of the Regal Riding Crane] . You will also be able to purchase the [Golden Lotus Tabard] . You also gain the achievement [The Golden Lotus] for reaching exalted.

Quartermaster View

Conclusion

While there are not that many things to work for at this time, the riding cranes are beautiful mounts worth the effort in my opinion. We will be back next week, and remember if you would like us to highlight a specific faction let us know! Have a great week and may the light be with you!
