EVERY DRUID who wants to endgame at 70 should have exalted with cenarion expedition. It's not that hard to get and every spec has an epic reward for exalted. plus it doesnt hurt to know that if you decide to try a new spec you can go to the refuge and get a very nice epic no matter what you try. I almost cried because a druid healer could not beat his inner demon, and didnt have exalted so was unable to get a dps weapon/ring that would help him win that fight.

Infact, it is safe to say that if you hit 70, it should be in your top 3 priorities to get cenarion exalted. It is not that hard, and it is truly worth the effort.

also, i know that just about everyone here knows this already, it is mostly a rant about the guy who cant even beat his innerdemon and cant pickup earthwarden.

I started WoW back in May, and my balance druid is up to lvl 66. I'm currently honoroed with Cenarion Expedition.

I've done quests in Hellfire, Zangarmash, and working through Terrokar. Will there be other zones, instances, and/or repatable quests I should focus on for Cenarion Expedition faction?

What are the other two priorities when I hit lvl 70?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I have been 70 for a while now,and still only honored :'(

Getting a guildrun is close to impossible,LFG "tool" is useless,and I have a deep deep hatred for PUG's anyway...

So for me this has proven,not hard,but sloooow to get .. :D

Will get there eventually,just not tomorrow :D

I have also been 70 for some time now. I am a Feral druid and would love to have my epic. Who can tell us the easiest way to grind the rep. I have looked at the rep guides to see what they say but they are mostly outdated.

Are there faster or other ways than just constant instance runs?

Any druid heading from 60 to 70 should ONLY do the repeatable handins (unidentified plant species, etc) until honoured, and bypass all the Cenarion rep quests til then. This applies to any other faction that you'd like to gain revered or higher with a minimum of instance runs.

A list of all quests giving the rep for these guys (and rep grinding tips) is here: http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=942

I believe there is a Cenarion Expedition quest hub in Blade's Edge Mountains.

There is the repeatable Coilfang Armament handin too, once you get the prereq quest, and you can buy them on the AH. I believe it is 75 rep per Armament handin.

I did some math, and if the items cost around 15 gold each (going rate for the 10 or so I saw on the AH), it would cost almost 4000 gold for me to get Exalted. I'm going for my epic flyer first; the Staff of Natural Fury will hold me over until then :)

Not everyone enjoys the PvE game and grinding exalted with every faction is quite the bore. Even grinding exalted with one faction is tediously boring.

My point, not every druid needs to have exalted with CE. If you are a PvE raiding druid, it should be HIGHLY recommended, however.

Grinding exalted with most factions in Outlands simply has you run instances a bunch of times. Grinding The Sha'tar rep is not tedious by any means. It's incredibly fun. I'm a bit tired of Shadow Labs, but that's because PuG groups can be ugly there. You act like it's such a tremendously difficult thing to do. Hell, once you hit Revered (which is absurdly easy to do) you can just start doing Heroics, which is what I spend most of my WoW time doing these days. Why? Because they are fun.

I've heard this several times now. Wish I'd heard it before I did all those quests and became honored. I was so caught up in getting to 70 that I didn't even think about rep. Now I'm honored with almost everybody, and no quests to do for any of them. Almost makes me want to roll another druid. At least I'll know better with my hunter and rogue who are mid-40's now.

The best way (but its probably too late) is to save your quests until after your early dungeon runs.

So for example at level 62

- run slave pens and underbog until you get no more rep from these runs (I believe at honored)
- do all your quests in zangermarsh, this should push you to revered, or close, maybe past
- now the rep grind is on hold (unless you use EXPENSIVE rep items, I'd avoid using them, sell them on the AH instead for 10g a pop)
- its on hold until 70, when you can run steamvaults and heroics. Thats the only way to get rep once your quests are done and your past honored, you can't run the easy non heroic slave pens to exalted.


So easy dungeons, quests, 70 dungeons + heroics. It takes a while. Thanks for the heads up with this thread, I'm leveling a druid now and not sure what spec I'll be at end-game. Its good to know theres a faction like this that gives great items for every spec. Once I get closer to outlands I'll check them all myself anyways, but still good to know, rate up.

Edit - I totally forgot about the repeatable hand-in quests, not sure where those would fit in my picture. Maybe skip slave pens and underbog if you wish, and do the hand-ins instead. The expensive rep items I was talking about are named Coilfang Armaments, those are what I'd avoid handing in (for a measly 75 rep when they sell for 10 gold). You need 21,000 rep from revered to exalted, if you're spending 10g for every 75 rep thats going to get expensive fast. Maybe use a couple towards the end of the grind, but honestly I'd rather use the gold they generate on the AH.

The repeatable plant parts and mushrooms though, do those for sure until they give you no more rep :)

Then do your quests. The main idea is save your quests until you get no more rep from other stuff (easy dungeons, repeatable hand in quests). If you finish all your quests THEN run the dungeons like slave pens and underbog, you'll be honored already and you wont get rep from the dungeon.
