96/100 Reputations and I finally got my PVP essence

I found a group of two others to farm the pirates with in Tanaris. Total time to get the final two Steamwheedle Cartel reps was just over an hour of killing as quickly as possible. The 15% bonus rep from the event coupled with the 15% from the guild standard definitely helped here. I now need to finish up Emperor Shaohao (currently 7,174/21,000), Shado-Pan Assault (13,158/21,000), Avengers of Hyjal (2,930/21,000) and one other out of The Defilers, Warsong Gulch and Hydraxian Waterlords, all of which are terrible grinds. I'm going to work on The Defilers for now since it's AB weekend and the bonus rep is pretty good. Apparently the best time to go it is when the AB Brawl weekend is up where you fight against computerized opponents but this is still a pretty good time. Hydraxian waterlords is one of these things that I just have to do every week and I'll get there in about ten more weeks. One other small thing: I finally got my PVP essence after I paid someone 30g to ge

94/100 Exalted Reputations

I picked up The Unshackled exalted this morning. I'd been slacking on it as I don't really like the zone - the multi-level nature of it makes it hard to find things even with a flying mount and I keep accidentally aggroing mobs that are a real pain in the ass to kill. The screenshot above is my current Steamwheedle Cartel rep. I did every quest in Winterspring and Stranglethron Vale (three new achievements there) and then I've mostly been grinding the pirates in Tanaris to get exalted. It's very slow going but a combination of the 15% bonus rep and the guild banner that also gives 15% rep makes now the best time to grind it. I'll try to have this completely finished in a week or so. One small thing that I noticed: you can't actually hit exalted with Gadgetzan while grinding these mobs - they stop at 20,999 revered. You'll need to kill pirates in Ratchet for the final point. Other notable reps I picked up: The Oracles, The Ogri'la and The Scale of

Post-Blizzcon update

Blizzcon was fun. Like last year, I spent most of the time watching the arena finals - some *extremely* close games and skillful play all around. The new expansion looks good and I played the demo for a bit - it reminds me of Argus in the way the quests and things are laid out. I'm particularly looking forward to the new "tower" dungeon that is randomly generated like a roguuelike game. I'm still running Molten Core each week - looks like another 14 weeks to hit Exalted though. I plan on doing Firelands some time soon to finish off that rep and I need to grind out the four goblin reps more at some point. I hate grinding but perhaps I can find a way to make it enjoyable. Looking for some more easy wins, I spotted the following: It looks like a mythic run of Siege of Orgrimmar is in the cards. Speaking of older raids, I also have a huge gap in collecting all the set armors for each of them. I'm fairly confident that within fourteen weeks or so I'll ev
