Goblin rep

Urbin

11/29/2010 10:02:00 PM

Just questing in Swamp of Sorrows. How come doing quests for the goblins who
specifically point out they belong to Steamwheedle Cartel does not give rep
for those four factions?

Cheers

No idea. I went trying to find goblins to quest for to work on the
Bildgewater rep, and found that a lot of quests were simply giving me no
rep at all (or perhaps were giving me 5 city faction rep, but I'm already
999/999 Exalted with all of them.)

Eventually, I gave up and put on the tabard and starting running heroics
for it instead.

Don't know about Steamwheedle yet, but regular factions do not give
spillover rep past 5999/6000 friendly (except Thunder Bluff, which
continues into honoured, suspect it's bugged, if the rep staopping at
honoured is intended). If Steamwheedle doesn't give spillover rep too
then... well. I'm screwed, since I can't do the new Booty Bay quests
without wrecking my Bloodsail rep, and I can't fix the Bloodsail rep
(or even better increase it) without wrecking Steamwheedle rep, and
the only way to get Everlook rep is by spillover rep from kills...

Why do you need to maintain or increase Bloodsail rep? I thought that
you wouldn't need it once you got Insane in the Membrane.

"Because I want to" isn't a good enough reason? :-P

Plus there happens to be a guild achievement for having 55 factions
exalted, and every little helps there... even with the 2 I have which
are now impossible (thank goodness they still count), I have 45
exalted, and only 6 new factions in Cataclysm, plus Bilgewater.
Hydraxians is doable in about 6 months of grinding, the others...
well. Depends what old raids are duoable at 85, and I'm betting it's
not that many of them. Bloodsail is an "easy" option by comparison, if
it's actually possible!

Forgot to mention obviously I'm doing Aldor and Frenzyheart on an alt
(I'm Scryers/Oracles on my main) which ups it to 47, so 47+7 new ones
= 54... it's Bloodsail, Hydraxian, lvl 70 25-man raid factions (or lvl
60 40-man, aka AQ40), or grind Arathi Basin or WSG for the 55th one.
All are a pain, but depending how things work with rep, like if you
can actually get Steamwwheedle back again, Bloodsail may be the best
option of those.

Well, it's a game and you're paying for it so I guess that's a good
enough reason for everything you do in the game.

It's just that I'd have expected that the amount that you wanted to
would decrease with increasing inconvenience and decreasing gain. It
sounds like a pain and I couldn't see the gain.

Aehm, there is a difference between Steamwheelde and Bilgewater Goblins. I
believe that only Bilgewater (i.e. the Horde Goblins) have a tabard. The
Steamwheelde (i.e. neutral Goblins) do not have a tabbard that I could find
so far.

The quests I did was for Goblins of the Steamwheedle Cartel (to be precise:
Gadgetzan), so I would have expected to get rep for those when handing in
the quests.

I *do* get Gilneas spillover rep when questing for Alliance factions, so
that works well (even withouth the tabard).

True but being completist and not having very many left... and it
being about the least painful of those that remain... ;-)

Ugh, I fear you're partially right. I was way past goblin spillover rep
already (freed knot enough times to be revered with 3 of the 4 and only 680
rep away from it on the fourth).

However, are you sure about regular factions not giving spillover rep? Back
before BC I spent quite some time hunting down all low level quests my main
had not done in order to bring the four main alliance factions as close to
exalted as possible and I did manage to get at least 2 out of the 4 to
exalted without a single cloth turn in and only spent very little cloth on
the other two. From this, I would guess that those gave spill over rep well
into revered.

Doesn't it just add up how many reputations you've gotten to exalted
rather than just how many you currently have? So you can do
Frenzyheart then Oracles and Scryers and then Aldor for a count of 4
towards the achievement? So dropping rep after having gotten exalted
isn't an issue, as far as the achievement goes?

Though I'd agree, if you can keep Bloodsail at exalted while getting
the others back to exalted, that'd be cool even if a bit pointless
other than for the 'cool' factor. : )
