Gilneas Rep

Monkman

Legend
So I started a mage. DPS queue times for random dungeons is terrible, so I have been questing to get rep to at least revered for bags.



As a Gnome, I had solid rep with Gnomer and IF to start so I got those up first, then SW. Moving to Darnassus, I see that my Gilneas rep is at 5999/6000 Friendly.



I turn in a quest for Darn, which in turn gives rep for all the other factions (not much, but something). Here I see that my Gilneas Rep is still 5999/6000 Friendly!



Not sure why this faction is different, but everyone else I could get honored without doing tabard-clad dungeon runs.



Just a heads up for any other DPS that is questing for rep. Once you hit 5999/6000 with Gilneas, go kill a mob in a dungeon to get to honored.



I am doing that now to see if I get passed 5999/6000, and then when I turn in another Darn quest I'll see if my rep continues to go up with Gilneas and update this post.
 
I'm not sure if it is specific quests or if Gilneas rep simply doesn't go up outside of Gilneas Quests and Tabard Dungeons.



I went in and killed a mob in BFD for 15 rep, putting me at 14/12000 Honored. Then I turned in the two quests right outside of BFD (Darnassus quests) and did not get any rep with Gilneas.



Lame.
 
Quests used to give spill-over Rep for other Home Cities, but they changed (revresed?) it with The Shattering: you'll only have spill-over Rep up to 5999/6000 , and if memory serves well they even removed the benefits of Alliance/Horde Rep gains (used to give you that amount for each and every Home City, now - been a while - it only adds to the 'hidden' Faction Reputation if I remember correctly)



However, as Raiders will be grinding Heroics anyway, you can get Rep for Factions by wearing a Tabard (instead of the other way round like it used to be) inside an Instance and having mobs killed, as e.g. Silvermoon is highly concerned about the going-ons in Deadmines.



Note that (unless they've fixed that, though given Blizzard's Raid-obssessive Dev's I highly doubt it) your Rep-by-Tabard gains will be only dependant on your toon's level e.g. if you are boosted the booster will get like 3/mob while you'll reap the usual 15/mob.



And yeah, the whole Rep system has become a lot lamer since The Shattering, and made Ambassador 100% 'worthless' on low-level characters (in the past, ppl would e.g. ask you for advice on Quests, as you had had to do basically all of them to get so much Rep).
 
I don't know if this is related or not, but I noticed something odd yesterday. I was getting Gilneas rep off of my tabard while in BFD, and I had killed more mobs than I thought would have been necessary to ding to Exalted, so I checked my rep and I was at 20999/21000 Revered. Thinking that there must have been something wrong with the system and/or that I would have to find another source for that last point, I teleported out to get another rep tabard out of the bank, and then teleported back in. The next mob I killed, however, dinged me to Exalted. (My first, incidentally.)
 
Could be that Instances are a bit bugged in general atm, the XP-Lock on F2P's interacted in funny ways with it before the announcement was made that while being locked at 20 is okay being locked below that a Mark of Cain or smth.



Thanks for the info on the Faction Rep, yay, the Rep is still useless.



On top of my head the only Gilneas Quest I can think of open to all at this level is the new-old Fishing Quest in Darkshore that opens up after you have done of the chain that starts with rescueuing survivors (and utlimately leads to a nice Blue for level 10's and the Withers Pet).
 
I was Honored with every other faction before wearing any tabards in a dungeon though. How would this happen if not from rep gained questing?



Also, I stepped into BFD and killed one mob to hit Honored with Gilneas. Still no rep from quests, even at honored.



As for rep being "useless," its the best way for F2Ps to get good sized bags. 16 slots for 1g @ Revered with each faction means we get 6 bags. This is almost enough to have full 16 slot bags for all backpack slots and bank slots. Pretty big deal for F2Ps

I had this problem with Ironforge rep, it was stuck at 11,999/12,000 and i was inside a dungeon. I fixed it like Kinc, zone out/zone in.
