Darnassus reputation

[Houdre]

Anyone here, that has done it with quests?
Just curious, is it possible to hit exalted before or at 40, and if not when approx. is the earliest you can get it?
Thought I might give it a try as dwarf on a fresh start server

In vanilla, reputation gains from quests are diminished once the quest turns grey. Most quests only give reputation with one faction, not all of Alliance / Horde, though quests doing the latter do exist. On the fresh start realm, the cloth donation NPCs will not be initially available, so the only method to gain reputation is via quests. It is possible, though not before 40 unless I remember wrong.

You should play a class that has its trainer in Darnassus (warrior, rogue, hunter, priest) and do every possible night elf related quest in Teldrassil (including the starter quests at Shadowglen), Darkshore, Ashenvale, Stonetalon Mountains, Azshara and Feralas. The quests in Desolace mostly give IF and SW reputation, if they give reputation at all. That way you'll get the maximum amount of reputation for each quest. Later on, some quests in Felwood, Winterspring and Silithus give either Darnassus reputation or Alliance wide reputation, though not all of them. This includes four of the five dungeon quests for Black Fathom Deeps and one for Razorfen Kraul but none in Maraudon or Razorfen Downs.

Using a vanilla database to ensure you don't miss a quest that gives Darnassus reputation would be useful, especially as there are few odd quests in Eastern Kingdoms that do give Darnassus rep, like Prayer to Elune in Searing Gorge. You should also do the quests that give Alliance-wide reputation, like The Algaz Gauntlet in Wetlands.

Finally, you can gain Darnassus reputation by turning in 20 Un'Goro soil to Jenal in Darnassus, which leads to the quest Morrowgrain Research, second part of which is repeatable and gives 250 reputation per pop. You need to be close to level 50 to do it and even at 50, exploring Un'Goro crater for the soil can be very dangerous.

Thats Pottu how we know him

ive done it on the pve realm. like pottu said, you need to do the quests when you are in the right level for the q to get the full rep. i was level 40 and i was just little under the needed rep and on the isle in feralas were more qs to do. but lvl 40 is a bit low for this area so maybe you need to do a few more lvl to get it.
IMPORTANT INFO: i did it as human (racial rep bonus)

but it will take much longer to level up if you want to do all the qs for rep. i remember ashenvale... this area slowed me down a lot.

At some point in vanilla WoW (maybe it was always), turning in items in Alterac Valley will give you something like 5 Orgrimmar rep, 3 for the other three cities. It's small, but it adds up -- I know, because that's how I grinded my lolcow Hunter to exalted with all factions at 60 (the blood of the Alliance for the Ice Lord summon)

Starting from level 50, you can turn in (a lot of) runecloth for rep to hit exalted. I did this on retail vanilla with stormwind as a nelf warrior cause I wanted a horse, and somehow had the patience to level 10 extra levels without mount.

If someone is going for pre 1.4 mounts of other races its going to be hard without cloth quests tho.

But Nostalrius had pre 1.4 mounts available for another week after adding cloth donations, so I can just hope Elysium will continue this policy on the fresh server.
