Common Honored questions

What’s the fastest way to Honored?

Mob farming (200-500 rep/hour) or tabard dungeon (200-400 rep/hour if Honored already).

Is Honored enough for most rewards?

Mostly yes — Honored has 80% of the practical rewards. Revered/Exalted adds mostly cosmetic / BiS gear.

Can I skip Honored and buy Revered rewards?

No — each rep level is a prerequisite for the next.

Which faction rewards are most useful at level 20?

• Argent Dawn Trinket (pre-bis)
• Darkspear Reagent Bag (16-slot bag)
• Pattern: Mooncloth Bag (16-slot bag)
• Mage-Eye Blasters (trinket)

Can I buy Honored rewards before Revered?

No — must hit Honored first.

Common reputation mistakes

Mistake	Cost	Fix
Not wearing tabard	Slower rep	Always wear tabard in dungeons
Skipping faction quests	Missed initial rep	Do all quests
Buying rewards at wrong rep	Wasted gold	Check rep requirement
Farming mob zones above your level	Wastes time	Match level

Final verdict

Top priorities for Honored rep farming:

1. Stormwind / Orgrimmar first (mount discount at Exalted)
2. Cenarion Circle second (16-slot bag + recipes)
3. Argent Dawn third (trinket)
4. Darkspear Trolls fourth (16-slot bag)

Best farming methods:

1. Tabard dungeon (passive, slow but reliable)
2. Mob farming (fast but active)
3. Cloth turn-in (passive but slow)

Whatever your faction priority, Honored rep unlocks are essential — don’t skip them.
