Comment by Warramir

Sofar this looks like the hardest reputation achievement. Whit Timbermaw and Kurenai being quite a long grind.

Comment by patricks

Sporeggar shouldn't be too hard either since "Now that we're still friends" rewards 750 rep per turn in, making for easy grinding.

Comment by Rougarou

Will reward you with 'The Diplomat' title.

EDIT: It's <name> the Diplomat

Comment by SquareLense

Timbermaw isn't bad to get as long as you left two of the +700 rep quests (kill quests or totems) to turn in at Revered, or alternatively, the two +500 quests if you're a tailor.

The best way to do the grind is to farm ~655 feathers from the deadwood camp in northern Felwood (~30-35% drop rate per kill). Those feathers will be saved to turn in once you hit revered and kills stop giving rep. Once you've saved the required feathers to go from revered to exalted, you can start turning any extras in to get revered as you grind.

Farming only 40 feather per day (~120 kills), it should take just under a month to go from neutral (0) to exalted. My main (Undead Mage) on Arygos finished off the grind in around a week, and it wasn't bad at all.

Comment by wrvng

I got Timbermaw this morning and I was kinda suprised it wasn't more painful. I however, wish I would have ONLY farmed the feathers. 550 needed for 0 revered to exalted. The bead drop rate for me was pathetic. Maybe 5%... CC wasn't a ton of fun but if you have gold you can buy it. I got Kurenai trying to farm LW patterns (never dropped). Sporeggar was just like pulling teeth.

All in all, I am happy with the title. I change from Ambassador, Diplomat, Guardian of the Cenarius and Of the Shattered Sun depending on my mood.

When did I turn into such a DORK?

Comment by tarunloko

Apparently the key to being a successful diplomat is genocide. Watch out furblogs, sporebats and ogres. Going to be a whole lot of people going diplomatic on your asses

Comment by Arando

Farming Timbermaw rep was less painful than I expected. That's how I levelled my mage up from 52 all the way to 60, aside from the odd instance run. If you do that, you won't even notice the time it takes for you to get there. And for some reason, on my server, Mageweave cloth sells for about 8-10g per stack. I definitely made about 300g in cloth from the Deadwood camp in southern Felwood that paid for my epic ground mount.

Something that helps is spending some cash at 57+ to get some outland greends, they boost your killing power. There's nothing like running around as a 58 Frost mage with about 20% crit and 300 spell power. Mage Armor, keep popping Water Elemental, and Evocation, and I rarely had to stop for mana.

Comment by stormeh

When patch 3.0.8 is live it'll get easier to farm Timbermaw once again as a high level, as they'll be allowing full reputation yield from a grey monster, so the grind should be extremely easy now (for those 80's with nothing to do)

Kurenai exalted : First doing all quest at Telaar and you become Honored with Kurenai.
Next you need to kill very very much Ogre's at Warmaul Hills. For each
Ogres you gain 10 reputation. You need to collect 780 Warbeads
to reach the exalted from honored ( 0/6000 ). For 10 Warbeads you gain
500 reputation to Kurenai. The exalted earned with the Kurenai is
very hard :/

Sporeggar exated: First doin all quests at Sporeggar and you are firendly/honored with
Sporeggar. Now you have 2 chance. You can complete unlimited time
the naga killer quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9727 or you
can collect 260 Sanguine Hibiscus http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24246
That flower you can getting from killing monsters in Underbog or you can
collect too from the ground in UB. For 5 Hibiscus or once completing the
Naga killer quest you gain 750 reputation with Sporeggar. The exalted
earned with Sporeggar is very easy.

Timbermaw exalted: First doing all quests with timbermaw. For each quest you gain 1400
reputation. When you are ready, you need to collect
Deadwood Headdress Feather's from the Deadwood Furlbolgs at
Northen Felwood or you can collect Winterfall Spirit Beads for the
Winterfall Furbolgs at Eastern Winterfall. You need 555 (at 0/6000 honored)
Feather or Spirit Beads to earn the Exalted. For 5 Feather or Spirit Beads
you gain 350 reputation to Timbermaw Hold.
I think thatt is the funnyiest part at these Achivement.

I have done this Achivement after ~ 3 Week .
Good luck :)

Comment by Weyhe

i'm thinking of making a level 1 char and try get this title, and use it as bank alt.
can i get this title on a level 1 ?. i know that if i take my level 1 to the place, and it died, and i get it as ghost to the corpse, it can get rep. but can i get all to exalted only by killing mobs. ? :) and if not, is there a turn in that do not give xp ?

Comment by Arkham79

I'm all about grinding two reps at once, especially when one is particularly painful.

Now that you get 20 rep per kill, even at 80 you can simultaneously grind Winterfall Intrusion for Wintersaber rep and get Winterfall Spirit Beads to turn in for Timbermaw rep in Winterspring.

After a little testing I have found that without the bead turn ins, the two reps go up at approximately the same rate. With the bead turn ins, you are going to hit Timbermaw exalted first, even with the extra repeatable quest at honored with Wintersaber to accelerate that a bit.

Still, it is a sweet mount and if you are doing the work you might as well get credit for it in two places.

Comment by boglund

See a lvl 1 get this title here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UraQT5ryT-A

Comment by Lallipalli

Apparently all diplomats (check fishing diplomat) wear monocles.

Comment by boglund

This title is possible to obtain on any level. When you are to low lvl to do any turn ins you can gain all of the rep from killing mobs. I've obtained this title on a level 1 to show the possibility. Video of it below. Revered to exalted with Timbermaw Hold is the trickiest part. It has to be done by killing Chieftains and/or Xandavious from the epic trinket quest you get at exalted. Meaning you need a friend to summon him for you which is exalted and haven't done the quest for the trinket. Watch the movie.

Comment by Sindrial

This achievement is actually rather easy to get, it took me 9 hours to get from neutral to Exalted with timbermaw, 3 hours with the sporregar - started at neutral, and at honored i think it was, i began to do the "Now that we are still friends" repeatable quest..

and the worst part was deffo the god damn kurenai, since those beads god 30 - 33% drop chance.. and u got odds for getting ganked by other farmed on pvp servers (in my case)..

otherwise than that. 1 or 2 days later its gonna be "name" The Diplomat! :b Congratz

Comment by Holyheadshot

It took me only 3 days to get this one actually. One day for Sporeggar (From unfriendly to exalted), one day for Timbermaw (Hostile to exalted) and one day for Kurenai. Not as hard or time-consuming as it might appear at first.

Comment by SirCero

It's even easier now. Timbermaw takes between 1-2 hours, sporeggar takes maybe three hours and a tad more for Kurenai

Comment by Declaron

Working on this achievement right now, although annoying to rep grind, its actually not too bad. I decided to put up a mini-guide here on how I did it, and i believe ive done it the fastest possible way so here goes, just as a note ignore the fact that Wowhead lists some of these quests as depreciated, they are not its just that certain factors such as the rewards have changed, the quest givers and the criteria are still the same. Its worth pointing out im a Level 85 hunter in relevance to the time it has taken me.

------

I recommend starting with Timbermaw Hold. Estimated completion time from Unfriendly is 1hr 30mins.

NB: Keep all the Deadwood Headdress Feather you loot! Don't hand them in until step 4)

1) Go to Felwood and do the quest Timbermaw Ally it will reward 180 (+ extra if human or you have guild perk) for each mob killed and 1400 rep on hand in. This should bring you up to Neutral with the Timbermaw, keep killing the same mobs until you hit friendly and will "unlock" the next bit.

2) Go to the very northern part of Felwood where the tunnel is, there are 2 NPC's by the entrance to the tunnel, get the following quests off Nafien, Deadwood of the North and Disarming Bears and complete them.

3) Accept the quest Speak to Salfa and go through the tunnel or fly over, do the quests Delivery for Donova and Winterfall Activity, if you pick up some additional beads, round it up to 10 and you can hand those in as well for extra rep.

4) Go back through the tunnel to Nafien, and start doing laps of the lake just to the west, killing all the Furbolgs that reside there and looting all the Deadwood Headdress Feather, this is faster than the Winterspring bead grind as the mobs are closer together. You will get rep for killing them and the droprate on the feathers is pretty good. Once you hit revered (which you should be very close to by now) you won't get rep from killing them anymore so you can start handing in the Feathers, you get a whopping 2000 (non-human, no perk) rep per hand in, so you will need a maximum 110 Feathers for exalted. Easy. GZ on They Love Me In That Tunnel too btw :)

-----

Sporeggar. Estimated completion time from Unfriendly is 3 hours, provided you have done step 1.

1) Complete Mysteries of the Marsh which will essentially "unlock" the Sporeggar. Not sure if this is necessary, it might be entirely skippable but i already had 50 quests completed in Zangarmarsh, and doing step two gave me this achievement so i think its essentally the last bit of Mysteries of the Marsh and the start of Sporeggar

2) Go and find Fahssn in the South West and accept and complete these quests Sporeggar, The Sporelings' Plight, Natural Enemies. The Rep gained from these plus the mob kills should bring you up to Neutral, now just kill a few more mobs or you can hand in extra Bog Lord Tendril or Mature Spore Sac to get up to Friendly. Once you hit Friendly Fahssn won't give you any more quests :( but not to worry, you can now go to the town of Sporeggar and speak to your new friends!, complete any available quests there until you are left with just Bring Me A Shrubbery! and Now That We're Friends....

3) Go back to Stormwind and search the AH for Sanguine Hibiscus, i managed to get 50 on my server for 1g 50s each. Also ask your friends or guildies if they have any.

4) Now the boring part, head back to Zangarmarsh and go to the Underbog under the Coilfang Reservoir. I did one full run on heroic mode which also gives Cenerion Expedition rep, then did runs of just the first area on normal difficulty (all up to first boss) mass pulling all the mobs, AoE them down, loot the lot then run round picking the Sanguine Hibiscus up (they have a bright red glow), running out, reseting instance, repeat. The hand in (without guild perks or human rep bonus) gives 750 per 5, so i would say you need about 150 to get all the way to exalted. I did about 10 runs, took about 10 minutes per run, and got roughly 15 plants per run. Flog any extra plants you might of obtained or give them to a guildy and GZ on The Czar of Sporeggar :)

-----

Kurenai. Estimated completion time from unfriendly is 8 hours.

NB: Keep all the Obsidian Warbeads you loot, we will need these later. This is the nasty one out of the three.

1) Go to Nagrand and complete Nagrand Slam this will tick you over to Friendly with Kurenai, and in addition since you are going to need to kill a LOT of ogre's to hit exalted, doing all the quests is a good idea (you can miss out the Nesingwary stuff for now) and it should bring you up to pretty much smack on 1/21000 revered.

2) All around Nagrand there will be Ogre's, personally i found the best place to farm was in the north and you can just head from west to east and back again, to put it simply you need to kill approximately 1200 of these (yes, one thousand two hundred) which should drop you approximately 420 Obsidian Warbeads, which is what you will need to get through Revered to Exhalted.

Hope this is of use guys! :)

EDIT: Completed.

Comment by Chewb

This is a very easy title to get. Took me about 3 days, starting at Honored with all.
Timbermaw Hold took 45 minutes
Sporegor took around 2 hours
Kurenai took 3 hours

Thanks wowhead for all the help!

Comment by darkrampage

As a frost DK, I was tinkering with a macro to select the Orges at Laughing Skulls and to cast Howling Blast so I didn't have to mess around with multiple buttons. I managed to put together one after about 20 tries :). This will target both the Shamans and the Brutes. Killing two birds with one macro sort of speak.

/target Warmaul
/start attack
/cast Howling Blast

This may also work for other casters that have instant casts, such as, Arcane blast or Avenger's Shield and so on. Just simply replace Howling blast. I hope this helps, certainly helped me :D.

NOTE: You must be in range of the mob to target and cast at the same time, otherwise you may end up targeting a different Orge. :p

Comment by Noxheart

Hey dont talk to me about rep griinds. If you think thats hard then try getting exalted with a level 1. Its boring as &*!@ and takes about 10 hours nonstop killing
