Just a small tipette for extra rep:
Go to the Draenei starting area and do as many quests there as you can. They DO have spillover rep, as you may have spotted with your own Draenei… My Draenei hunter dinged Exalted with Darnassus the same moment she dinged *30*! Couldn’t have happened without the quests in the Isles – there’s some quests there that offer IF, SW, and Darnassus rep as well, and they also spill over to other factions.

Question about the crab pets – I can’t remember if you already discussed this – but are you training them with the same resistances, armor, etc.? Just wondering – sometimes I’m curious just how helpful it is to put training points in for some of the resistances for the lower lvl pets. I’m sure it’s dependant on what types of fights you deal with more often, but just curious.

Oh and my 50 gnome is trying for the epic elekk at 60. Hard to find any Exodar quests that she hasn’t done now, and she’s only Honored. It’s an older character though that I lvl’d to 40 prior to BC – randomly a gnome created more recently I lvl’d in the Exodar starting area and she’s already Revered. I wish they’d give the poor “old timer” characters a little help to equalize that – seems a bit sad that there’s such a difference for those two characters. Oh and I found extra quests via both Thottbot and Wowhead – I’d say use both and compare, just to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Pitty that wowhead does not have a filter for mobs that give rep with faction XX! ;) And Stockades, at 38, will only give rep from the quests, not from the mobs as those are >9 levels lower…

Stockades can give you a lot of reputation with Stormwind. Some of the quests there are also in conjunction with Deadmines because of Defias relations. You should have picked up a letter quest item from VanCleef that will eventually lead to Stockades.

There’re 6 quests there if I remember right. Can be done in 1 run. Hope that helps =]

“I’ve been using quests lists off of Thottbot”. Time to make a change! I like WoWhead more because:

1) Format is nicer, taking advantage of my wide screen instead of using up half-screen estate;
2) Data seems to be less littered with old trash;
3) Comments, since there are fewer, seem to be generally more useful than in thott;
4) Very cool filters for just about everything you need, from racial spells to professions to mobs, zones, gear, weapons, etc, etc;
5) LightHeaded uses data from there.

So I made the switch and that’s what I recommend all my friends, be those RL or just online! :)
Once you get used, there’s no turning back!

it seems like you i have crazy moments where i charge through levels with my characters and other times where for weeks i do not level , at the moment my hunter is sitting at 67 but i am having fun with my n.e. druid that i started all because i got the nice druid staff drop . the level 64 ” baraxxis’ staff of slumber ” i have got to level 29 and still have a long way to go and as she already has cat form i am farming stormwind rep to get a horse ride , i also started a draenei hunter now at 26 which of course is going to get a cat ride , so most of the questing i am doing is all nice and green in quests

in part i am waiting for the next patch and have been having great fun on the test realm and have seen most of the nerfed mobs up to about level 29 that on the present patch create a little challenge like ” oakenscowl ” in the n.e. starter area in the cave by the lake , he used to be a real challenge to beat down with his health but now he is just another level 9 timberling , so i can see if they keep it as it is the next patch will see loads of high level characters that have got there so fast they will still not know how to play when the going gets harder .

on 2.3 the mini maps so much more useful now no more wondering where to get ammo or repairs , no more hidden quest givers unless they are far to low a quest , and i cannot wait to start to level my hunters and other characters or may even start again as i love the far smaller dead zone and of course the other characters all have little tweaks that will make them better to play , but i am having fun with farming and getting things like leatherworking and enchanting up to a decent level anyway , and getting more than enough gold for the high level flying mount for my hunter at 70 all in all although at times my characters do not level and sometimes i cannot be bothered to play i still go around the lower mobs and kick them around as they once kicked me around

Given what Kaet is, have you considered popping her over onto the PTR and playing around with her for a couple levels there, since you currently have a feel for her and the crabs, and to me at least the feeling of the shift in her leveling would provide infinately more information than just plain numbers on what exactly is changing. Just my two cents. Good luck whatever you decide to do! :)

Handy! Thanks, Someone. I’ve been using quests lists off of Thottbot and just scrolling down looking to see which give Stormwind rep — if Thottbot has an option for searching quests by rep I must have missed it. But this should help also.

To help on rep grinding: Quests that give Stormwind rep and are up to level 42. You can tweak this any way you want, just fully use the filter options to suit your needs, e.g., add another one for Zone or simply sort by Zone, etc... Things will be easier on 2.3 with the easier to identify quest givers!
