So, I've been in a rut when it comes to games. I've got several pretty interesting games on my radar. inFamous, Red Dead Redemption, and Heavy Rain. All are sitting near my TV already purchased. And I still haven't finished either FF13, or God of War 3. But last night I had the perfect opportunity to do something different. My raiding schedule is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday...and we had last night off as we cleared everything there was to clear. So why did I farm Argent Dawn rep instead of pulling out Red Dead Redemption?
Blah.
So, I've been farming Argent Dawn rep for several reasons. The primary one is for the achievements. Though in reality I wouldn't have bothered except for the fact that I found that I could make a substantial sum of money in the process. Farming Argent Dawn rep is simple. Just take your level 80 (70+ will work with some classes). Get the argent dawn trinket so that undead mobs will drop marks. Then go to Scholo, or Strat and start instance farming. Mobs in those zones give 3-10 rep per kill, and bosses from 50-100. When you are done, take the marks you've collected and turning them into Argent Valor tokens (each turn in is worth 50 each). Then take those takens and use them for an extra 100 honor per token. If there are any quests in either zone, pick them up in the process as they are worth 1000 rep each. The combination of all of these things earns you quite a bit of rep per run--as much as 3 to 4 thousand.
Just a tip. For level 80 mages, Strat is actually easier. No magic immune mobs there to slow you down. I think I earned 22k rep in a total of 3 Strat Runs, and 1 Scholomance Run. Each run took less than an hour
Of course, making money is important to me right now so farming Strat was killing two birds with one stone. More achievements, a title, and a rather substantial amount of money. How substantial? I think I made total of about 4K in drops, though I think I got a bit lucky (seeing how I got an Orb of Destruction, and a BOE epic drop as well). So, a new rep completed. 2 more achievements. A title. The Deathcharger mount and achievement. And about 4k gold total. Not bad IMO.
Next, I'm probably going to work on Cenarian Circle. Though I'm not sure. I don't really see an easy way to farm this, but then again I haven't really looked into it again. Maybe I should just wait for AQ20/40 pugs? The only reason I'm considering it is that I'm only 12k from Exaulted anyway and I actually have around 80 twilight pages sitting in the bank (they've been there forever). Are the obelisk summonings still broken? I wonder. If it's too much of a pain in the ass I probably won't bother. But I'll at least look into it.
