[GUIDE] Guardian of Cenarius

[n0skillS]

Most of the things that are included in the post are things that I have done from experience, or from Wowhead: Our data brings all the geeks to the yard.. I searched the title, but found absolutely nothing so I thought I would help a few people out. I just wrote this and put a lot of effort into this, so please, be courteous and don't spam that its a rip.

The criteria for the title is to acquire Exalted with both Cenarion Circle and Cenarion Expedition. Both factions will be split into two separate categories.

Cenarion Circle

If you were like me, and not a pre-bc player this faction could take the longest, so I suggest starting it first.

Of course one possibility would be to repeatedly run the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. I've heard of people soloing it while 80, but have never tried so I couldn't be sure if it was easy or not.

From experience of doing it on two characters (one questing and one grinding for reputation items), I found that grinding was actually faster than the questing. Of course questing would yield more base gold, and could help to the quest achievements, but personally I found it better just to get it over with as fast as possible.

The items that you want to grind for are: Encrypted Twilight Text - Item - World of Warcraft. For every 10 of these, you attain 500 rep(from what I remember anyways). Assuming you are at 0/3000 neutral, it would take 840 text's to get to exalted (0/1000).

If you have enough gold, you can always buy these as well, although I don't recommend it as people are selling these for ridiculous prices.

My favorite spot to grind for these items were at (the circled areas):
Maps - World of Warcraft

Also remember when grinding on these mobs you are bound to get some of the Twilight Trappings - Item Set - World of Warcraft set. When you attain all 3 pieces, put them on and go to one of the stones within the camps to summon an elemental. The spawned elemental will drop Abyssal Crest - Item - World of Warcraft, which can be turned in 3 at a time for 150 rep.

When grinding the mobs, you'll gain a lot of runecloth as well, which can make this a good moneymaker. On my server, one stack of runecloth is selling for 6g so I made quite a bit of gold farming this rep.

While you're down in Silithus (since the average player doesn't come down here much), I would recommend doing the Explore Silithus achievement. The map for all the locations is:
Maps - World of Warcraft

Cenarion Expedition

Since most of players travel through Zangarmarsh when doing the level 60-70 grind, this rep should be slightly easier to get exalted. However, for the purpose of this guide I will assume that you are 0/3000 Neutral.

Doing this quest: The Cenarion Expedition - Quest - World of Warcraft should take you out of neutral and into friendly. If not, that's okay there are other methods of attaining the rep.

If you are not yet honored, I strongly recommend farming Unidentified Plant Parts - Item - World of Warcraft and handing them in for a repeatable quest. For 10 plant parts, you get 250 rep. Assuming you are 0/3000 Neutral, it would take 360 plant parts to get to honored(when handing in plant parts no longer gives rep). When handing in plant parts, you get Package of Identified Plants - Item - World of Warcraft each time, which can contain various different herbs. Hopefully you'll get a lot of Uncatalogued Species - Item - World of Warcraft which can be turned in for 500 rep at a time. The rate of attaining these from bags are very slim though, so I'll assume that you got none. Make sure if you get these you wait until post-honored before handing in the species.

The plant parts are particularly easy to get although it will take some time. They can drop off almost any mob in Zangarmarsh and can also be herbed and skinned within Zangarmarsh. Also, if you wanted to dump some gold into it they go for very cheap on the auction house (it was only like 10 silver for one last time I checked for them).

It gets a bit painful when doing the honored and revered grind, as the only way to get rep is to complete the quests or run the instances. If you are level 80 the regular instances are very simple to solo(Remember, Slave Pens regular no longer yields reputation after friendly). If you are soloing instances, I would recomend doing regular Steam Vaults over and over again, as it yields the most rep per run, and you can pretty much clear the entire instance without having to fight a single boss.

When doing the Steamvaults, you're bound to get Orders from Lady Vashj - Item - World of Warcraft on one of your runs. This item starts a quest that can be handed in for 500 rep. Also, on each clear you are going to get an average of 3-5 Coilfang Armaments - Item - World of Warcraft, which can be handed in for 75 rep each(These can also be bought from the auction house, but on my server they go for about 15g each and I find that 75rep is not worth 15g).

Although I do not know the exact reputation gained from a full clear of Steamvaults from experience(never felt the need to actually keep track of how much I'm getting per run), people on wowhead claim that it is about 2300 rep a run. Assuming this is correct, it will take about 12.69, or 13 runs to get from 0/12000 honored to 0/1000 exalted(Also taking into account that you get about 4 Coilfang Armaments per run and handing them all in).

If you are unable to solo the instance(on normal), just grab anyone above level 68(about the level you would regularly go into Steamvaults), and there should be less of a problem. If you have friends that are all 70+ that also want this achievement, you can also try for Heroic mode, which will yield more rep per run, thus making the grind quicker.

Another way of gaining quick reputation from any point would be to do the repeatable quest: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11867. Neutral to Friendly will require 300 ears, Friendly to Honored will require 600 ears, Honored to Revered will require 1200 ears, and Revered to Exalted will require 2100 ears. In total, you will need 4200 ears to get from 0/3000 Neutral, to Exalted. A good farming spot for these ears is located at: (circled area)

Conclusion

The section on the Cenarion Circle is what I did on my Mage and I found it very fast. The part of Cenarion Expedition its purely thought out as both my characters attained Exalted through many heroic mode instances that yielded reputation with Cenarion Expedition. If there are any changes that need to be made, feel free to post and I will update it ASAP. Also, I'm having a bit of problems implementing the images into the post so that you do not have to click the wowhead links provided. I'll try to get that working ASAP.

Now, go out to Orgrimmar/Ironforge and /flex, as you'll be one of the few people that had the patience to attain this title!

Thanks for this!

Thanks for this!

Thank YOU for replying:wave:

[lucilius]

Still a great guide only a little bit of outdated info from what I can tell; the Coilfang Armaments have been removed from game and are no longer a repeat-turn in option. This just makes the average amount of runs to get exalted inaccurate; but I think that is it.
