This reputation counts towards 100 Exalted Reputations. I just earned mine today from it.

From anyone wanting to obtain the proc rings (easy 389 ilevel rings), here's some info on that:

You need to be level 70 farm the required reputation with Cobalt Assembly
Complete the short initial quest chain starting with Welcome to the Assembly, started from Xavin at
The Cobalt Assembly faction is slightly different from a standard faction, as you earn rep not by killing mobs but by looting them. They drop items that increase your reputation bar, and the only indication that this is happening is a chat string stating "The Cobalt Assembly's arcane power increases"

Note that the items themselves do not go in your bags and do not need to be used; they will automatically apply to your reputation

The standard reputation levels (Friendly, Honored, Revered, etc.) are replaced by Cobalt Assembly Power Levels - Empty (1/5), Low (2/5), Medium (3/5), High (4/5) and Maximum (5/5)
To get the rings, you need to reach High Power (level 4/5), which takes less than an hour of farming mobs in a group
The mobs you have to kill are centred around at the Cobalt Assembly in the Azure Span
The mobs are Elite and have quite a bit of health; a group is advised, and there are many in the Group Finder
The Quartermaster that sells the rings is Steiz located at

As of the writing of this post, the rings themselves are NOT visible on the vendor until you reach the requisite High Power (level 4/5)

The rings in question are as follows:

You can only equip 1 "Cobalt Ring of Power" at a time

Some TomTom commands to help you find things:

/way 48, 18 Cobalt Assembly mobs
/way 49.4, 22.6 Steiz Cobalt Assembly Quartermaster

Killing enemies in the area grant you power-ups like the ones in Torghast.
After getting a few of them, you can easily mass pull and AoE down packs. This rep farm is very easy if you stack powerups.

Enemies killed by other groups of players also let you loot their unstable arcana. The PvP quest nearby is also a good source of arcana.

I got to the point where i had 1.4m hp and throw glaive would one shot every mob with the dot. Also, 1500% mastery meant i was running at dragonriding speeds while on the ground.

Make sure to always check the area around 43.93 30.63 every 5-6 minutes while farming rep. Those elemental mobs are really close to each other and they still give pretty decent rep. Also, kill the little ones too.

Hi all

Small Guide how to farm Reputation for Cobalt Assembly. But to start it You need to have lvl 70.

See My Video with map and farm - https://youtu.be/yLtiC7nUdJk

When You raech level 70 go to see Venthi 49 23 He Will Give You quest Welcome to the Assembly You need only to speak with Xavin.

After that go to enterenc where You will farm reputation 48.8 23.8 and Find Party solo i hard to do in team much faster.

When You will kill mobs You can get drop:
- "Cobalt Assembly Moderate Arcana" - 15 reputation
- "Cobalt Assembly Major Arcana" - 30 reputation

That items are consume automatically. Farm in Party is going preaty fast. Some of mobs are preaty hard. When You fight You can pick Up buffs to help with speed of killing mobs.

Main reword from farming reputation is items selling by Steiz 49.4 22.6:

- Assembly Guardian's Ring
- Assembly Scholar's Loop
- Assembly Preserver's Band
- Pattern: Frozen Spellthread

All of them for Gold with is good.

Hope That Help YOu :)

You do not need to be level 70 for this, I farmed halfway through level 3 while at 67 while a group of buddies was doing it.

P.S. You cannot get the orb abilities until level 68. And there is a lot being carried until that point as you can imagine.

Comment by schnizol

The map bomb power-up is OP - always pick it when farming mobs - it can one shot a whole group of mobs if used properly.

Comment by GrBD

2 hours to get this rep is a lie.. only like 20% of the mobs drop the rep items and the rare doesn't give more than 50 rep.

I farmed these for 3 hours in 2 groups and barely got to the star of medium (176/2400) ..

Comment by Vansitter

do not forget -> Cobalt Reputation.
Requires the Cobalt Assembly power to be at Low.

Solo guide

I typically don't like big raid groups for rep farming due to the general lack of organization and inefficiency of the group. I discovered I could solo this relatively easily and quickly by stacking the most effective arcana powers, then continuing to renew so I could keep all my buffs and quickly solo huge groups without dying. To get the initial large stack of buffs: you could join a raid group, run around with them for a few minutes while you get enough orbs to stack the buffs.

Process:

Either group or solo to generate Wild Arcana from cobalt assembly mobs.
Stack Arcane Enlargement and Arcane Compaction. These two are the most important and stack up to (4) each. Other powers such as leech, etc. are helpful!
Maintain Fun Detected to increase rep drop rate as you see this one available.
Once you're fully buffed, select Cobalt Catchup from each Wild Arcana to maintain your buffs. You can fully solo at this point using AOE for the larger groups. Remember your 5 minute buff timer and refresh your buffs whenever possible.

I got about 6400 rep in 1.5 hours this way. I'm not sure if the rep tokens drop more frequently solo; that seems to be the case, but could just be anecdotal at this point.

EDIT: One item I neglected to mention is that some buffs prevent you from receiving the Cobalt Catchup option. It appears that some rare buffs and all epic buffs prevent Cobalt Catchup. To be safe I just stick with the buffs mentioned above and any common/white buff, such as HP boosts.

Comment by Knokkelmann

I was farming rep in a raid until I got high
I had 42 stacks of mastery but then I got high
Now they need someone else to carry them, and I know why
'Cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high

If you're like me and you're intending to farm reputation with The Cobalt Assembly late, then this is my quick guide on how to solo farm this in a couple of hours:

1. open your map and select The Azure Span and zoom on the cobalt assembly (top middle), there's a circular structure to the right on the cobalt assembly map, its called training grounds which is the pvp arena of the cobalt assembly, go there and start killing Unstable Elementals, they have around 50k hp so they go down pretty easily and they are guaranteed to drop Wild Arcana, click on it and choose a Buff that will last for 5 minutes. (note that since its a pvp zone anybody from horde or alliance can attack you, so you might want to start doing this early in the morning or some time when it's not too crowded)

2. after you've stacked up alot of buffs you want to move to the left wing of the cobalt assembly where the Sundered Flame NPCs are located. when there, look for Arcane Elementals with 4 Altered Wymlings following them around, they have the highest chance of dropping Wild Arcana (beside the Elites), which you can use to either gain new Buffs or reset your buff timers. after your buffs are reset you want to kill the packs of mobs roaming around, or even the Elites if you can handle them, All the NPCs in the area have an equally moderate chance to drop Uncommon Moderate Arcana which grants 15 Cobalt Assembly Reputation or Rare Major Arcana which grants 45 Cobalt Assembly Reputation.

3. upon hitting Low Reputation Rank with The Cobalt Assembly (2/5), you want to go to Xavin, located within the Cobalt Assembly Basecamp (standing right beside the Quartermaster) and Research Cobalt Reputation to gain 30% increased Reputation gain with Cobalt Assembly.

4. then continue as mentioned in step 2 until you hit the Maximum Rank with Cobalt Assembly (5/5), upon which you are able to buy all of the Profession Recipes and Cosmetics from Steiz, who is the Quartermaster for the Faction, located inside the Cobalt Assembly Basecamp.

Hints for Buff Selection: you always want to max out Arcane Enlargement, Arcane Health and Arcane Transference first to ensure your survivability, and then go for Arcane Mastery, Arcane Luck or Quickened based on your Class and Spec. after those you can explore other options like Exploding Map which does a massive damage to all enemies nearby when you open your map as long as there are 4 or more enemies nearby or otherwise it will instantly kill you (it will also kill you when its buff duration is over so make sure to use it before then or refresh its duration or simply right click on the buff to remove it), Also DON'T FORGET to pick Cobalt Catch Up, every 2 minutes or so in order to refresh the duration of all your buffs.

Hope this helps somebody !

Talk to Xavin and research Cobalt Reputation to gain 30 % increased reputation.

Comment by SargerasWasRight

Truly the worst part of the meta achievement. This awful place is basically Torghast with all the fun removed, slow respawns, fighting with other people for kills and punishments for taking a break during your hours long slog for the paltry reputation gains you far too rarely get from corpses.

Terrible, just terrible. Honestly the worst thing I think I've done in the whole expansion. Were it not part of the meta achievement I wouldn't touch this god forsaken place with a 1000 foot pole.

Comment by Krayzzer

Not sure if this is mentioned before, but check out this spot for the reputation farm at /way 43.90 31.10.
There are plenty of mobs and the respawn timer goes quite too fast.

Comment by Sarthorius

Thank god this is included in the coming TWW expansion to be account-wide. Had 2-4 alts that I wanted to farm it too, not to maximum but most just to reach 'high' to buy recipes. Now I just finished it 100% on my main and can just wait for TWW, while working on other needed achievements for the Mega-Meta.
