Drops off the Twilight Cultist mobs. 10 texts = 100 rep with Cenarion Circle. Also they sell for about 1g for 1 text. So grinding here can make you some good money for mounts and/or enchants for later in the game!

10 texts = 250 rep as of patch 2.0.1

Kommentar von 4201

It's most likely a change that has to do with Blizzard's attempt to lessen the "grind"-feel of reputations. Many repeatable quests have gotten reputation boosts, this one included.

Does this quest give any experience? Planning to farm some text so that my blood elf can get exalted, and getting some exp would be nice :P

Kommentar von Doranos

As of patch 2.2 this now gives 500 rep.

Kommentar von 50238

As of 2.3 this gives 500 rep

10 texts = 550 rep now, as of July 4th, 2008

Kommentar von D1sc1pl1n3

Still gives 500rep in 3.0.3?

Kommentar von 44374

Still gives 500 rep in 3.0.8. But twilight mobs give now 10 rep each to Cenarion Circle instead of 2.

It seems like this is the fastest way for a high-level character to get CC rep now. A lot of the other rep quests require grinding the Twilight mobs, except the sithilid killing quests which take forever. Along the way you'll get dozens and dozens of the texts. Coupled with the easy Prophet kills which yield about 10 texts a kill (and the respawn seems to be pretty fast), you can get thousands of rep an hour.

Quick math!

Each Twilight kill grants 10 CC rep. Assuming you are Friendly (0/6000 towards honored), that means you require 39000 rep total to get to exalted (6k to Honored, 12k to Revered, 21k to Exalted).

39k/10 per mob = 3.9k Twilight Kills.

Each Twilight has ~30% chance to drop a text. Text turn-ins (groups of 10) are worth 500 rep. Thus, every 100 kills will yield you an average of 30 texts, worth 3x500 (1500) more rep. If you were to *actually* kill 3.9k Twilights, you'd get (based on probability) around 1300 texts, which is 130 turn-ins for another 65k (!) rep, far more than you'd need TOTAL for exalted status.

...or, to make it even easier, 1 mob = 10 rep + a 30% chance at 50 rep (as per 10 text/500 rep = 1 text/50 rep). 50 x 30% = around 17 rep (rounded), so we'll simply state that 1 Twilight = 27 rep (avg).

39k/27 rep per mob = 1444.4 (say 1445 for simplicity).

Even further, every Twilight that you come across has a 5% chance at dropping Cultist Gear, of which there are 3 pieces:
Twilight Cultist Cowl
Twilight Cultist Mantle
Twilight Cultist Robe
These are, in turn, donned so as to use the Lesser Wind Crystals to summon an Abyssal. Killing the abyssal will yield an Abyssal Crest. (Pathetically easy these days, too, as they have the same HP as the Twilights around them) Collecting 3 Crests allows for another turn-in, this one yielding 150 rep, or 50 rep per Crest.

So each Twilight = 5% chance of 1 of the 3 Cultist set-pieces. Out of the same 100 kills, you'll get 5 pieces, barely enough for 1 set (assuming that they're not all the same -- i.e., 5 cowls, 4 mantles and a robe, et cetera). A negligible increase in rep-production, but seeing as how it's a fine thing to do while waiting on respawns (and the fact that they Abyssals drop various other items, including high-end pre-BC greens/blues), it's better than nothing.

So out of our current number of 1445, you could be expected to see 289 set-pieces dropping. RNG on your side, that's 96 Summons, granting you 96 Crests and 32 turn-ins for an additional 4800 rep. Once again, though, that would push over the amount we're shooting for, so you wouldn't need the full 1445 kills to get to exalted. Assuming a more flat-number of 1300, you would receive an average of 260 pieces, or roughly 86 sets (assuming no duplicates -- yeah, right, I know). That's 86 more crests, which is 4200 additional rep. 4200 Rep / 1300 Twilights = 3.23 rep per kill.

So.....

1300 Twilights = 10 per kill, 30% chance of a text (~50 rep per), 5% chance at a cultist outfit. Averaged Rep per Twilight = 30.

So you have a definitive goal to set for yourself in terms of numbers to kill in order to hit exalted; simply calculate how much rep you need and divide the number by 30 and you'll reach an approximate number of Cultists you need to slap around. And, frankly, since the Cultist outfits aren't controllable as to which one you'll get (you could grind for ours and theoretically never see a Cowl, only Mantles and Robes), It's easier to rule them out and simply grind on the 27-mark (or the aforementioned 1445).

Note -- I realize there are quests that yield CC rep, as well as running AQ20 for rep-per-kill and the various daily quests and turn-ins you can do all through Silithus. In addition, I'm not counting Human rep-gains (+10% to rep, so enjoy your faster farming) or the higher-end summons (that require turning Crests and Large Brilliant Shards into Necklaces and Signets to summon 5-man/20-man bosses), as they take more time and effort than simply chowing down on more hapless Cultists. I wrote this simply from a grinding-standpoint, which I firmly believe would be leagues faster than any questing you could attempt (especially at higher-levels). That, not to mention the runecloth/cash/drops you'll receive, makes grinding Twilights a FAR more attractive idea to me than runnin' all over, carrying SIlithid goo or killing elites. For people such as myself that never did finish our CC rep-grind, this is a VERY manageable and profitable method to attain Exalted Status!

Of course the most easy is to do dailies in northrend and then buy these texts of the AH

Kommentar von Mhila

Did this grinding in one day....almost killing the cultists but i also do half AQ20 2 times (its like complete the instance once) but the second time we kill some more.....i hit exalted like 2 cultist before i summoned the 20-man boss (hunter 70+ shammy 80 easy kill) so i that summon was pretty a big waste :P
Anyway for all of you trying to farm this rep i recomend you to only farm the cultists and do the texts...any other thing will only be a waste and with a nice music on the bakround you can do it in only 8 hrs grindig (including eating going to restroom, turns off the computer a few times and of course leting your sisters and mom use the comp "for a while" )

Kommentar von Xicon

In my experience, the best way to utilize these texts is to simply farm the Twilight Cultists all the way until you are revered with Cenarion Circle. Starting at 0/3000 Neutral, you will need to kill 2300 Cultists to reach this point.

Assuming an estimated Encrypted Twilight Text drop rate of 30%, that is 690 texts by the time you hit Revered. At that point, you have more than enough to turn in and reach Exalted.

Note: You only need 420 Twilight Texts to get from 0/21000 Revered to Exalted, so once you have over that amount you can start turning them in to greatly speed up the process.

Kommentar von asden

But if wanna just buy them off the AH if there cheap on your server then from Neutral to Exalted is 42k (3k neutral,6k friendly,12k honored,21exalted) so, that would 840(84 turn ins) Encrypted Twilight Text to get to exalted with CC. Easy rep grind for humans it's 770 Encrypted Twilight Text (77 turn ins ) for humans.

Kommentar von Ellesar1

Does not count for loremaster or the x Quests completed achievements.

Kommentar von 735207

There are also a bunch of nonrepeatable quests in Desolace that offer CC reputation, if you want a break from grinding these texts.

Kommentar von 738216

This quest gives 500 rep with Cenarion Circle (not 250 as it says in the text)

Kommentar von Misslafay

I've been farming these for 15 min. and got 30 Verschlüsselter Schattenhammertext

As a lvl 85 in patch 4.3 this quest gives you 600 rep

*note that the elite north west of the Twilight's post dropped 9 Verschlüsselter Schattenhammertext for me

Kommentar von genius13

Upstairs in the inn, Kania sells BoP enchanting formulae to those with adequate rep, plus two non soulbound tailoring patterns for enchanting bags. Outside to the west, Vargus sells BoP blacksmithing plans for level 60 rare armor that is heavy on nature resistance. (Rogue poisons are all nature damage.)

I can find no vendor with recipes for any other profession.

Kommentar von Thottbot

These texts give 250 rep per turn-in of 10 all the way up to 999/1000 exalted.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Handing in these are the quickest way to get exalted with CC

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can turn these in at revered and, so I have heard but have yet to check, even exalted.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yes I can confirm that this quest is repeatable even after you are revered and you get reps :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest gives you 100 rep per stack of 10 Twilight texts. You are also able to use the Twilight texts in the quest: Still Believing
The still believing quest gives you some money and a chance for some BOE plans

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As of 12/6 the repeatable turn in gives 250 rep per turn in

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can do this repeatable quest at friendly and honored at least.
Can someone confirm you can also do it at revered ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

as of last patch 2.3, each turn-in of 10 encrypted twilight texts now gives 550 reputation! yay that makes this grind much easier
