Last night I didn’t have alot of time to play but started into Outlands for some questing when I get another tell from my GM asking me about my rep with different factions in Outlands. After which we spent the next hour kissing up to many a furry creature in the forest.
I’m learning more and more just how important Rep in this game is, not really for progression in the game but for weapons and armor you can’t beat it. The mysterious part of Rep is that some quest you can only get while friendly, but once you hit honored, that quest is gone. By finding the correct quest while you have the correct rep standing can give you that extra 800-1200 rep points you may need down the line. Last night by playing the Rep game, back and forth, partialy completing parts of quest, turning others in at the correct time, I was able to get the [Hardened Stone Shard] which is one kick butt dagger.
The last couple days have made me rething all the faction turn in quest, instead of selling all the turnins on AH, I may start to see how they can help me in the long run.

How do you get the reward for rep in a faction ?
When you get to Exalted, do they give a quest that will end in a reward ?

Brutux, I’m not sure, I didn’t get that high of Rep, but I will try to find out. I know some that are Exalted in like 7 factions.

@ Brutux: After finally reaching Exalted you keep getting rep up to 999/1000 points, and then you don’t get anything extra. If the quest gives gold, you get gold, but nothing more. If the quest is an Alliance/Horde quest, you WILL get a portion of rep towards all the Alliance/Horde main factions.
As for rewards from quests at Exalted - that depends. Mostly it just unlocks certain high level items from faction vendors (like the Skywing Nether Ray Mounts). However, for the Netherwing Dragon Mount - I believe you have to do a quest at exalted to get your first Dragon - I’m still working on that though.
