Ok this is my first contribution post so please be nice, if not please use lube
Okay this is regarding the recent feat of strength “Insane in the Membrane” which will be implemented in patch 3.1 and reward the fitting title of “The insane”
Now who wouldn’t want that? Well a good few people once you see the requirements.
However there are those dedicated and proud members that would love this and/or achievement whores.
So let’s get on with it.
The requirements for the achievement are:
Honoured with Blood sail Buccaneers
Consortium Tabard
Exalted with Booty Bay
Exalted with Everlook
Exalted with Gadgetzan
Exalted with Rachet
Exalted with Darkmoon Faire
Exalted with Ravenholdt
Exalted with Shen’dralar
Now ways of doing it.
Consortium Tabard
Multiple runs of Mana Tombs is the most effective solution if you can find a few good men.
other then this there is a area in netherstorm were the etherals drop insignias, since there low level you can cut through a few of these for reputation if you struggle with manatombs.
final method is to Farm Ogre medals in nagrand, this plus side to this is you can farm for kurenai at the same time. 2 boomkins 1 deep fryer
Honoured with Bloodsail Buccaneers
Now this is common sense, Murder, burn and pillage booty bay guards. As simple as that. Some may already have this and the lovely little hat.
One tip I can recommend is before you start your grind, shout up in trade chat that you’re going to be doing it and start a raid group. The more you get, the faster it goes (Plus you can “brb” get something to eat, watch TV or just browse pron while your rep shoots up with others doing the work for you).
Exalted with Booty Bay
Exalted with Everlook
Exalted with Gadgetzan
Exalted with Rachet
These can be done together, its not yet confirmed if you need to maintain bloodsail rep for the achievement so let’s play it safe. You’re going to need a total of 84,000 reps to get from hated to exalted.
You can kill Venture go in stranglethorn, wastewander in tanaris etc and get low rep, the most effective way ive found is to do multiple runs of Dire Maul north.
Key to Free Knot – This grants 350 reps with all factions just kill a few ogres for the drop and do the quest. It requires the instance to be reset for repeats. Run speed items/skills are always useful, especially passive items and trinkets. This just speeds up the runs.
Ogre Suit – for this you’re going to need 4 runecloth bolts (1 stack of runecloth), 8 rugged leather, 2 rune thread and Ogre tanning. This gives 75 rep per turn in, the ogre tanning can only be looted one per run I think and am located in the corner after going up the first ramp inside.
So now for the math 75k rep from hated to exalted, meaning you’ve got to do Dire Maul north 215 times (aint that fun) or only 177 times if you do the ogre suit q as well.
On the bright side now you’re loved by both goblins and pirates, doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
Exalted with Ravenholdt
To go from neutral to Revered its best just to slaughter The syndicate mobs in the old durnholde area of hillsbrad then from then on for non-rogues its fun; basically you need to turn in 5 heavy junk boxes. You get 75 reps per 5 junk boxes so for the rep you’re going to need to go from revered to exalted you’re going to need 1,470 boxes. Might as well level a rogue and go to town on level 55+ mobs, or just buy me all if you got the cash.
Exalted with Shen’dralar
Now a lot of people may ask “who the hell are they?” well there a faction within dire maul were you turn in librams of Focus, Protection or Rapidity that give helm enchants. And this is the only way to get rep with them.
So your going to need 84 Librams in total and the mats for there quests to get this done. Did I mention the books are unique? So you can only carry one of each at a time along with the mats needed for the q. a shortcut for this is either if you’re a engineer or know one. You post all the books to yourself then loot and turn them in.
The mats are as follows
Libram of focus
1 pristine black diamond
4 Large brilliant shards
2 skin of shadow
Libaram of Protection
1 pristine black diamond
2 Large brilliant shards
1 frayed abomination stitching
Libaram of Rapidity
1 pristine black diamond
2 Large brilliant shards
2 Blood of heroes.
Ill let you do the math depending on which librams you get
Pristine black diamonds – These can either be bought of the auction house or picked up in High end Vanilla raids/instances
Blood of heroes (BOP) – rare spawn in plaguelands, look like blood pools with armour near them, when you pick it up elite or 2 will spawn so be careful.
Frayed abomination stitching (BOP) – Drop from the Elite abominations in Stratholme (the pre 60 one)
Skin of shadow (BOP) - these drops from bosses in scholomance, Lady Illucia Barov, Instructor Malicia, Instructor Malicia, The Ravenian, or they also drop from the risen bonewarders and constructs.
Please note these aren’t 100% drop rates so you there a pain to get for the bop ones.
Exalted with Darkmoon Faire
I recommend starting of with the Quest turn ins until you maxx them out, the easiest for me was dense grinding stones and thorium widgets as the materials for these could be farmed at the same time. After that I hope you got deep pockets because your going to be turning in Darkmoon decks till exalted. Do have fun
Ok so parts may be brief, this is do to it being thrown together in a break, yes there’s a lot to do but i am posting it now before 3.1 because once that hits, the prices for materials may increase a lot.
