Guide to leveling and rep
There are many rep grinds in BC.
And it is very important to understand, the shoulder/helm enchants you have will often prevent new gear you find from
really being upgrades.
Key enchants.
Helm enchants are from various reputation vendors throughout Outlands.
Each one is a differant rep.

Shoulder enchants.
Shoulder enchants in BC come from Scryer or Aldor rep vendors. First, you must choose 1, choosing one of these two
factions makes the other hate you. You can switch I believe, but it will be very difficult to do so. So choose wisely.
Scryer shoulder enchants.

Aldor shoulder enchants.

What is important to notice here.
The Honored level enchants are not better then the ZG enchants. But the exalted are.
So it is not worth wasting your mats or time with the honored ones. And any item you have enchanted with a ZG enchant,
will likely be superiour to any upgrade, untill you get a ZG or exalted enchant on it.
so in preperation of BC, you may wish to farm bijous from ZG to be able to enchant 2-3 shoulders that you might find in the
2-3 months that it will probably take to get exalted from Scyers or Aldor.
purchasing the shoulder enchants requires a special drop. For scyers you kill High level blood elves in Netherstrom, and
Tempest keep and get "green" quality drops not bound on pickup, "Arcane tomes", these you turn in for rep and an "arcane
rune" which can be used to purchase the enchants. The drop rate in Tempest keep on these is very similar to Bijous in ZG.
For aldor, the item is "Fel armament", which drops from demons and shadow cultists in Shadowmoonvalley, and shadowlabyrith
in Auchidon.
Now,
Scyer verus Aldor has a second list of items.
Scryer rep items.

you choose your faction.

So now you can see what
reputations you need to focus on to get your important Rep enchants asap.
Now, gaining rep.
Honor hold
Cen expo
Lower city
Keepers of time
Shattar
Scyer
Aldro
Kurienai
The key to getting rep fast will be to remember, quests give rep all the way to 70 and all the way to exalted.
Npcs do not give rep all the way to exalted.
honor hold. Ramparts and blood furnace level 60-63 instances will give Honor hold rep all the way to Honored.
to max out rep gain, do not do any Honor hold quests until you are honored with Honor hold, via doing Ramparts and blood
furnace.
Shattered halls npcs in the level 70 hellfire citidal instance give Honor hold rep up to exalted.
Cen expo.
Same deal. The underbog and slave pens,level 63-64 instances in Colifang resevour give cen expo rep up to honored. As well
as "unidentified plant parts. Save your Cen expo quests until after these npcs stop giving your rep.
Then, steam vault, level 70 instance will give cen exp rep after you run out of quests. (Evergrove and slyvannar in
Bladeedge give cen expo rep as well. Also, the druid npc in Terrokar and stormspire.)
Lower city.
Repeatable feather quest until friendly. Then sethekk halls, and aucidoun crypts until honored. Shadow labryth at 70
until exalted.
Keepers of time.
Caverns of time. nothing special.
Shattar.
I dont know...
Scyer.
quests, farming firewing signets until honored from lower level bloodelves. And sunfury signets from those level 66+.
(Netherstorm, SMV, and tempest keep). Arcane tomes also are repeatable rep.
Aldor.
Quests, farming marks of kiljeaden until honored from lwer level demons/shadowculist. And marks of sargeras from those
level 66+. Also, fel armaments are a repeatable rep.
Kurienai.
Quests in nagrand.
Professions.
Most profession trainers are in Honor hold.
first aid is in the temple of telhement in the northwest corner of Hellfire cit.
There is a flight path.
Fishing is in Cen exp, in zangamarsh.
It is important to note.
Most professions can be skilled up past 300 to about 325-330 on current items.
Herbalism for example can be skilled to 325 on mountain silversage.
This is important to consider on day 1, instead of fighting over felweed in hellfire, just go to epl, and skill up your
herbalism super fast.
Day 1.
Get honor hold flight path, get temple flight path.
Train professions.
Get shattar flight path in the western side of Terrokar forest. (It is the nuetral city in Outlands. With a bank, portals
back to SW, IF, and darn.)
Level up in Hellfire ramparts/blood furnace until 63.
Go to zangamarsh, level in slavepens/underbog until 65.
Go to terrokar, level in manatombs/aucidoun crypts until 68.
Level in durnholm/sethekk halls until 70.
Why skip quests?
Max rep gain as already noted.
AND! uber gold. All that exp from quests will be turned into gold having reached 70.
This will ensure you can pay for that 5200 flying mount right quick.
Additionally, doing quests with a flying mount is about 100x faster...
