Becoming Exalted With The Defilers

The Defilers is the faction you gain reputation with when you compete in the battleground Arathi Basin. The only way to get reputation with this faction is to compete in Arathi Basin battles, and by completing the couple quests that become available to you as you move from Neutral through to Exalted.

The Battle for Arathi Basin! (Horde, 25) is the first quest you have access to and is availble at the Neutral level. For this quest you will have to assault each of the Mine, Lumber Mill, Blacksmith and Stables. This quest will carry over to other Arathi Basin battles, so you don’t have to worry about assaulting all 4 bases in 1 battle.

The second quest available is Take Four Bases which you gain access to once you reach the Friendly level. For this quest, your team will have to assault and defend 4 bases until the end of the battle.

The third and final quest is titled Take Five Bases and becomes available at the Exalted level. If you guessed you have to assault and capture 5 bases to complete this quest, you are absolutely correct. Once this quest has been completed you will have access to the Battle Tabard of the Defilers.

Other than completing those 3 quests you get 10 reputation points per 200 resources collected, except on Arathi Basin weekends, when you get 10 reputation points per 150 resources collected. To win a battle your team needs to collect 1600 resources, which means you get 80 reputation per win on a regular day, and roughly 106 rep per win on an Arathi Basin weekend.

Some Math:

Assumptions: Only battling, not completing any quests. Only competing on regular days, not including Arathi Basin weekends. No loses only wins.

Neutral -> Friendly = 3000 Rep = 38 Wins
Friendly -> Honored = 6000 Rep = 75 Wins
Honored -> Revered = 12000 Rep = 150 Wins
Revered -> Exalted = 21000 Rep = 263 Wins

38 + 75 + 150 + 263 = 526 Winning Arathi Basin Battlegrounds to go from Neutral to Exalted.

You will earn the achievement:

The Defiler

You will be on your way to earning the following achievements:

Master of Arathi Basin
The Conqueror
Battlemaster
100000 Honorable Kills

Howto: Get the Venomhide Ravasaur Mount + Feat of Strength

The Venomhide Ravasaur is the Horde equivalent to the Wintersaber mount the the Alliance faction gets. The main difference is its ease to get the mount. It only takes 20 days of doing 1 of 6 very simple dailies. If you read here you will see how much work it takes to become Exalted with the Wintersaber Trainers to be able to purchase that mount. I think this is one of the more superior raptor mounts because it doesn’t have a little ball on its tusk.

The daily will provide you with a Venomhide Baby Tooth which you will need 20 of, aswell as 20 Runecloth, 20 Rugged Leather, and 80 Gold.

The first thing you are going to want to do is fly over to Marshall’s Refuge in Un’Goro Crater. Once you are here, run to the south of the crater, and look for Mor’Vek. He is going to give you the quest [53] Toxic Tolerance, which you will complete by being infected by Venomhide Ravasaur blood. The trick to this quest is to not kill the mob before it infects you, I just used auto-attack and a cheap melee weapon that does no damage. Once this quest has been completed turn it in and move onto [53] Venomhide Eggs, which are picked up right off the ground in the same area where you completed the previous quest. Once you have your eggs, go turn them in, and complete the first day of your 20 day journey.

This portion of the journey is broken into 4 different dailies:

[53 Daily] Gorishi Grub
In this quest you will have to collect 10 Silithid Meat and feed it to your Venomhide Hatchling. The mobs that drops the silithid meat is in Un’Goro Crater, right near the initial quest giver.

[53 Daily] Hungry, Hungry Hatchling
In this quest you will have to collect 15 Fresh Dinosaur Meat and feed it to your Venomhide Hatchling. The meat drops off the diemetradons, stegodons, and pterrordaxes in Un’Goro Crater, just south of Marshall’s Refuge.

[53 Daily] Poached, Scrambled, Or Raw?
In this quest you are going to have to collect 12 Silithid Eggs and feed them to your Venomhide Hatchling. These are in the eastern portion of Tanaris, and are orange eggs just laying on the ground. They are in the area with all of the bugs. You shouldn’t have to kill anything for this daily, just collect the eggs, and feed them to your Venomhide Hatchling.

[53 Daily] Searing Roc Feathers
In this daily, you will have to collect 5 Searing Roc Plumage. These mobs are also in Tanaris, right near where you collect the eggs. You won’t feed these to your Venomhide Hatchling, they are just a needed quest item.

After 20 days, go back to Mor’Vek turn everything in, and enjoy your new Venomhide Ravasaur Mount and Feat of Strength!

Quick Review: Warcraft Faction Change – From Alliance to Horde

Recently Blizzard had announced the ability to change factions. So if you’re Alliance and you want to be Horde or Horde wanting to be Alliance, for $30.00 USD you can now change. The process is easy, sign into you’re battle.net account and there is a link to do a Faction Change right on the main page of your profile. Right now you can only pay by credit card, but it looks like you will be able to buy some kind of redemption code to complete the faction change. Currently paypal, and the other options are un-available. If you don’t have a credit card, you can always go and get a pre-paid one.

Blizzard says the process should take up to an hour, but makes mention of instances where it may take a couple of days. Personally, my account was active rather quickly. Thing’s to note before you make the change, you have to finish all of your auctions, and your mailbox has to be empty. Anything you have done with the Argent Tournament will be lost, unless you decide to change back, then you are back where you started. I don’t find this to be a problem, each daily is worth around 13g and there are 25 days worth of dailies I believe.

You do get to keep your Argent Tournament pets, they aren’t converted. The mount’s are converted but the pets are not. You also lose your Argent Tournament titles. Something you may want to do before going through with the faction change is completing as many raids as possible, and then doing the change. Raid lockouts (as of right now) are being reset.

Overall the process was simple, and I am very pleased to now be Horde. The $30.00 was a little steep and it only covers one toon, however I think the change was worth it.

Before you do your faction change you may want to read to see exactly what is going to happen to your toon.

*edit* Incase you were wondering, yes, raid lockouts do reset when you faction change.
