Argent Dawn Reputation Guide - WoW Classic

Overview of the Argent DawnArgent Officer Pureheart

Our cause is simple - fight swiftly and mercilessly against any element of evil that surfaces in Azeroth. We are not a political body, nor do we ever wish to become one. To that end we call both the Alliance and the Horde both as friends - friends in the cause of stamping out evil!

I'm attacking mobs at Felstone Field and continuing to get Argent Dawn reputation past 3000/6000 Friendly.

Comment by Lefti

Slight inaccuracy in the cauldrons section. All cauldrons give 25 rep except the Felstone Field Cauldron. Which is pretty fast to farm but it'll take more turn-ins for the same amount of rep.

Otherwise, thanks for the great guide! It helped me a bunch. Keep up the good work!

Edit: removed link of pic showing rep gains cause it was removed anyways... lol im nub...

Comment by Kactus04

No reputation from WPL Elites at 11000/12000 Honored. Checked both Skeletal Warlord and Flesh Golem.

Comment by too2fun

There are 3 rep quests in Darnassus...55.31 23.31 that send you into Blackfathom Deeps @ level 25. Rewards around 40 to 50 rep.

Comment by JamesBondJr

"Bosses in Scholomance/Stratholme will grant reputation all the way to Exalted."

Stratholme Live side not a single boss is giving rep past revered.

Correction: Fras Siabi gives the proper rep. The Unforgiven, Hearthsinger Forresten, and Timmy the Cruel do not give any rep past revered. It is bugged and I was suggested to submit a bug report from a GM who says the logs show that I get rep however I have tested it countless times since and before opening a ticket. 3 runs today alone.

Comment by Pasu

I did some math to determine if it was worthwhile to do the Cauldron quests before you reach honored.

TLDR: It's probably only worth completing these quests before honored if you can farm the lvl 56-58 mobs at Gahrron's Withering. Otherwise, wait to complete these until you're honored from killing non-elite Scourge, then complete them to get 800 rep into honored. This assumes you'll stop farming the non-elites after they stop yielding rep once you hit honored and farm dungeons instead.

I'm going to assume you only want to kill non-elite mobs until you hit honored, then you'll prefer to run dungeons to get rep. If you plan to farm Scourgestones off the non-elites after honored, then you should probably ignore this and complete the quests asap.

The cauldrons quest chain yields 800 Argent Dawn rep. If you do these quests before your reach honored, that's 800 less rep you can get from killing non-elite mobs. For easy numbers, I'll assume you only get 200 rep from other sources (e.g. killing Scourge) while you complete the chain, resulting it 1,000 rep earned by the time you complete the chain.

Since you have 9,000 rep to get from neutral to honored, that leaves 8,000 rep after you complete the chain. For it to have been worthwhile to complete the quests, you'll need to be able to earn at least 800 rep from the repeatable cauldron quests to break even in the rep you're no longer able to get by killing non-elite scourge.

I'm going to assume you're saving your turn ins for when you've reached honored from killing non-elites (or later). That leaves you 1,600 non-elite scourge kills before you hit honored . How many turns ins you'll get is dependent on which cauldron you farm for and the respective drop rate.

Felstone Field: Osseous Agitator has ~5% drop chance (enemy lvl 50-52)
- Total collected = (1,600 kills) * (0.05 Drop Chance) = 80
- Rep earned leveling* = (25 rep/turn in) * Round down = 325 rep
- Rep earned @ lvl 60 = (15 rep/turn in) * Round down = 195 rep
* Not sure where the lvl cut off for receiving 25 rep vs 15 rep is.

Dalson's Tears: Somatic Intensifier has ~4% drop chance (enemy lvl 52-54)
- Total Collected = (1,600 kills) * (0.04 Drop Chance) = 64
- Rep earned = (25 rep/turn in) * Round down = 300 rep

Writhing Haunt: Somatic Intensifier has ~8% drop chance (enemy lvl 54-56)
- Total Collected = (1,600 kills) * (0.08 Drop Chance) = 128
- Rep earned = (25 rep/turn in) * Round down = 625 rep

Gahrron's Withering: Ectoplasmic Resonator has ~21% drop chance (enemy lvl 56-58)
- Total Collected = (1,600 kills) * (0.21 Drop Chance) = 336
- Rep earned = (25 rep/turn in) * Round down = 2,100 rep

So as you can see, only farming Gahroon's Withering before honored will earn you more rep into honored (2,100) than if you waited until honored to complete these quests (which would give you 800 rep).

You may also want to wait to turn these in until revered, similar to how you should wait to turn in Scourgestones until revered, since you can still grind rep in dungeons up until revered.

Again, if you're going to farm Scourgestone and cauldrons from non-elites after you no longer get rep from them, you should probably complete these quests asap so that you're not wasting drop chances on your early kills.

Happy farming!

Comment by Foxkitty

The Clear the Way quest has apparently been marked as obsolete by Blizzard. I am unable to start the Cauldron quests unless anyone knows of an alternate way to get the questline started.

Comment by ToOurRoots

My rep stopped at 20999/21000 at the end of Scholo. Darkmaster Gandling did NOT get me to exalted. Maybe needs a turn-in to finish off?

Comment by Xthisu

Patch 2.5.1 TBC Classic
Good location for reputation when revered outside of dungeons.

+60 Argent Dawn Reputation per tunnel clear.
~16 Crypt Fiend Parts per tunnel clear.
All mobs on this run have a chance to drop a Minion's Scourgestone at minimum.

This was very easy for a Hunter and Warlock (both level 62), but could be soloed.

Beware of the Nerubian Overseer {Elite} +10 reputation +6-7 Crypt Fiend Parts as he paths from the village through the entire tunnel and back.

Where?
Eastern Plaguelands in Terrorweb Tunnel (Can be accessed by both sides)

I would recommend starting from the tunnel entrance found near Egan as you can fish on the other end while waiting for respawns.

In the village

Start by clearing the village and collecting the following:
Stitched Horror +10 reputation
Invader's Scourgestone from Stitched Horror Spawn on the outskirt of the village entrance. Other undead are placeholders for them, so clear them to trigger the respawn.
Minion's Scourgestone from everything else.
Crypt Fiend Parts for Crypt Fiend Parts (Drops from all the spiders)
Skeletal Fragments for Skeletal Fragments or Skeletal Fragments (Drops from other undead in the village)

In the tunnel

Crypt Walker +Minion's Scourgestone
Crypt Horror (Placeholders for Slayers) +Minion's Scourgestone
Crypt Slayer +10 reputation + Invader's Scourgestone

Optional
If you started clearing the tunnel from the village side, you'll exit near water where you can fish while waiting for the tunnel to respawn.

You'll need baubles.
305 finishing skill doesn't let you fish here, adding a Nightcrawlers bauble was a minimum.
With 405 fishing skill, here is what I was able to get in two 10 minute fishing sessions.

- *Plated Armorfish (11) for Craftsman's Writ - Plated Armorfish
- *Lightning Eel (12) for Craftsman's Writ - Lightning Eel
- Raw Whitescale Salmon (23)
- Raw Nightfin Snapper (8)
- Raw Sunscale Salmon (7)
- Raw Redgill (2)

*Both Plated Armorfish and Lightning Eel are turn-ins for Argent Dawn reputation quests.

Comment by Muggins

As of patch 9.2.0 (42979) runing Scholomance and Stratholme give no reputation , had to do all quest line just to get Argent Dawn to show up , i'm now revered and can't go any further.

Comment by Tomoken1144

If you are Revered and cannot go any further, do the quest here as many times as needed until Exalted (repeatable and you do NOT need to reset instance each time): Annals of the Silver Hand

Comment by teakwood54

In SOD the repeatable cauldron quests are god-awful for time investment. Maybe they give less rep at certain points but I was only getting 15 rep at honored. Much better off just running scholomance.

Comment by CAPSLOCKMAN

After you do the initial Western Plaguelands (WP) cauldron quests, the repeatable cauldron quests are unlocked. The ghost farm (far east) has the best drop rate, requires the least materials, and drops better scourgestones.

The alchemist at the WP camp sells for 40 silver. Note that they disappear after 30 min. The ghosts drop enough silver to cover this. He also provides the for free via dialogue, which you need in order for the to drop from the ghosts.

The reward for each turn in at the cauldron is 28 rep.

If you class isn't great at combat, then skip the wraiths because they are not only the toughest but also have the worst drop rate.

Caution:

Every once in a while someone will pull a big pack of mobs and flee. When that pack is returning, it will attack you.
Watch out for the elite fallen heroes that patrol near the cauldron when people attempt to farm the blood of heroes. They will stun you and chase you far north of the road, so run south into the water.

Comment by mollys2angels

*****Rep with Argent Dawn in Retail*****

If you have competed all of the Eastern Plaguelands and Western Plaguelands quests, including cauldron quests, and you still need rep, you can do 2 repeatable Quests for 2,000 rep each:

1. Annals of the Silver Hand - Stratholme - Annals of the Silver Hand
2. Abberations of Bone - Scholomance - Aberrations of Bone

They can be picked up at Light's Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands, behind the chapel, in the graveyard, from Lord Raymond George at 76, 50.

I'm not sure if it is needed, but I have equipped the Argent Dawn Commission trinket as well.
