The Lorewalkers

Quartermaster: Tan Shin Tiao, Vale of Eternal Blossoms

Both completing the achievement and turning in the scroll to Lorewalker Cho will give reputation. Turning in all the scrolls will net you Exalted.

This guide should be re-written because of the changes in ilvls of the items.

Comment by MohsLady

Good for a starting point but needs to be updated as WoW updates. But glad there is this one here for a starter point!

Comment by Gymlea

I heard that you cannot get past honored with the Klaxxi until you are exulted with one of the others. Is there an order you need to go through? Getting high rep with one faction before high rep unlocks with another?

Comment by 1046064

Where are the epic wrists?

Comment by lankybrit

As the Justice Point gear does not require Honored, you should really change this around somewhat to remove the Justice point gear from the Honored sections and have them in their own sections.

Cheers.

Comment by perculia

Thanks for the feedback, we've updated this guide (as well as all the linked guides) for 5.2. Justice Points are no longer marked as Honored, the reduced VP costs are in, new reps are added.

The Kirin Tor Quatermaster's name is in blank.

Comment by Techhead7890

I never thought about it before, but it's basically like every Pandaria zone (except the Kun-Lai mountains, poor Grummles got left out?) has a dailies faction attached to it. There's the Jade Serpent trainers in JF, Tillers in V4W, Nat Pagle in Krasarang, Klaxxi in DW, Shado-Pan in TS/Townlong, and of course the Golden Lotus in the Eternal Vale. Plus the Timeless Isle came along in a similar way to the Broken Shore with catchup gear. In a way, it feels like this daily distribution was one of the influences towards Legion's zone-based WQ system.

As an aside -- it's also interesting that most zones have an attached instance, except for Krasarang. While they might not grant rep compared to the Cata dungeons it's still pretty cool for getting a sense of the place.
