With the new expansion, ten new reputations have arrived, all with their stewards and their bundle of rewards. AtlasLoot is very useful to take stock of which faction has which piece of equipment necessary for your optimization but it is not always easy to find your way there even if in each sanctuary, of each faction, emissaries indicate how to help as well as the location of the steward of each reputation.
Here are the different factions, for each I indicate the location of the steward, the presence (or not) of repeatable quests and a brief description of the items offered.

Order of the Cloud Serpent" src="/images/posts/e43aa0cf57f3182764c6d9c8e429c0a3-3.jpg">
There are many repeatable quests that are taken directly around the Quartermaster, allowing you to grow within the faction. These quests revolve around a serpent's egg, which hatches, grows, matures into a large jade cloud serpent. A race course allows you to ride your snake companion and fly through the clouds in the sky race:
The rules of the race by the instructor Lame du Vent
Your cloud serpent is approaching, Onidra. When you're ready, step on it and we'll get started. The students of our order put their speed to the test in an aerial competition known as the Sky Race. I will teach you the rules of this race. Follow me ! As the exercise progresses, I will go faster and faster. Try to follow.I will guide you with this rope. If you stray too far it will break and I will have to start the exercise again. If you stray too far, I'll warn you. If you continue despite this, I will have to eliminate you.
Do you see the pennants hanging right above our heads? These flags mark the speed race. If you ever get lost, they will serve as your guide.
Scattered among the arrows are ten hot air balloons or checkpoints. We are just in the process of passing one. In the real race, you will have to pass through each of the racing flags to validate the checkpoint. You have to go through all 10 checkpoints before you can complete the race. The flags indicate the route of the circuit, but finding another route will not be penalized. You might find other faster paths.
I showed you part of the circuit. Now let's go see the finish line. Follow me ! Remember that in a real race you will be against the other recruits in the order. The stakes will be high. The faster you are, the greater the reward.
This is the finish line. When you have passed the 10 checkpoints, go below to validate your ranking.
And that's all for our lesson.
Once revered, San offers items to play with his snake: Cloud Ring, Finish Line, Floating Finish Line, Floating Racing Flag, and Racing Flag. When exalted, in addition to the tabard, it offers 3 mounts for 2k4: Jade Cloud Serpent Reins, Golden Cloud Serpent Reins, or Jade Cloud Serpent Reins. Be careful, do not rush too much before buying your mount: the ultimate faction quest gives you the mount corresponding to the egg you have chosen as well as the flight license for this very special mount!

- Pile of stone blocks
- Pile of wooden planks
In addition, once exalted, there are 4 helmets (cloth, leather, mesh, plate), without stat, used for transmogrification.
The black prince
Irion the Black Prince is the last of the Black Dragons. He is said to richly rewards those who earn his trust and support his efforts.
This faction is a bit special in that there is no steward or repeatable quest but a quest line offering (for the moment) a gem of legendary quality.
It all begins with the quest in a foreign land that brings together Wrathion, the black prince at the Tavern in the Mists, in the Veiled Staircase, a tiny region wedged between the Vale of Eternal Spring and the Jade Forest.
Once the introductions with the prince are made, two legendary quests are available:
- The trial of the black prince asking to be honored by the prince's faction
- The strength of his enemies asking to bring back 2x 10 items from raid bosses
These quests completed, the sequel asks to go and kill the sha of fear, in the Spring Terrace raid (fear incarnate) before finally obtaining the famous gems (the breath of the black prince). Might as well get started now because there is no doubt that these quests will have a sequel!
In order to gain reputation with the prince outside of raids, you have to kill level 90 mantids and Mogu. You will certainly come across them while doing your other daily quests. However, to speed things up, know that a tip is given on Wowhead: there is an island called Dao Shan'Ze, east of the Townlong Steppes, where there are particularly profitable Shan'ze illusionists (1.96M). and doable alone: this nice villain makes 4 illusions appear, each giving 10 or 11 reputation points, himself giving 31 or 32 points ... A quick addition: 74 per illusionist, it's a gift.
The Anglers
Anglers are a group of Pandaren fishermen who wish to feed their people and increase their fishing knowledge.
Nat Pagle, the Phishers' Quartermaster, can be found southeast of the Krasarang Wilds, at the Phishing Wharf.
Repeatable quests can be found at the Anglers' Wharf, related to the fishing profession. Friendly, Nat offers two recipes: Krasarang fritters and recipe: pincétau soup. Honored, he offers a mascot (tiny goldfish) and a pandaren fishing rod. Revered he sells a Dragon Fishing Rod (400 gp), a Sharp Rohart Spear (1k2 gp) and the indispensable Anglers Fishing Raft (800 gp). Finally, once exalted, Nat offers, in addition to the tabard, 1 mount: azure aquatic trotter reins (4k gp).
At the same time, Nat has his own reputation (in the manner of the Ploughmen) which is raised by offering him special fish for 500 reputation points:
- Gourami flying tiger
- Chameleon octopus
- Alpha hedgehogfish
These are green fish that, once caught, give Nat a quest:
Revered, he sells his Nat's Fishing Log (read this log to permanently increase your fishing skill by 50, up to a maximum of 600) and Nat's Hat.
The Plowmen
Plowmen are peaceful, hardworking Pandaren who cultivate the land to satisfy the hungry appetites of their people.
Gina Griffe de Tourbe, the landlady of the plowmen, is in the village of Micolline, in the middle of the valley of the 4 winds.
Daily quests are all around Gina, including the farm quest line, related to the kitchen profession. Revered, Gina offers a Pandaren Scarecrow. You have to be elated to buy all the other items: the tabard, the 3 mounts (reins of a brown riding goat, reins of a black riding goat and reins of a white riding goat) and two useless and therefore essential items (set of Gin knives Ji and sepulchral).
The cooks will find 2 cooking recipes (exalted):
- Recipe: Spicy Vegetable Chips
- Recipe: Spicy salmon
The quests of this faction give, in addition, a specific currency, the mark of Iron Paw, which allows you to buy items related to the kitchen profession in Nam Iron Paw, also in the village of Hiccup. Without needing Reputation, you can buy Cooking Components (One Hundred Years Old Soy Sauce, Rice Flour, and Black Pepper), Super Cook's Set, increasing Cooking by 10 (Frying Pan, Rolling Pin and apron), bags containing meat, fish or vegetables and finally unnecessary objects (kitchen school bell and reversible table). At the same time, there are also the 10 reputations of farmers to build, for more information on this, I invite you to read my guide: plowmen: your future friends.
The Chroniclers
Guardians of the mysteries of Pandaria, these brave souls roam the continent, hoping to learn from their history.
Tan Shin Tiao, the steward of the chroniclers, is in the Mogu'shan Palace, on the left, upstairs, above the entrance to the instance.
This faction is aimed at explorers and archaeologists and is assembled by discovering monuments, linked to achievements. An inventory has been made on Wowhead which I advise you as well as this video (even if it is in English, just follow the guide).
Once exalted with the Chroniclers, Tan Shin Tiao sells a Red Flying Cloud Disc mount (480 gp) and two archeology items, a Chronicler's Card and Chronicler's Magnetite.
Across the room, Ms. Thai gives a repeatable archeology quest (don't expect to gain reputation with chroniclers, she doesn't). If you are level 600 in archeology, Brann Bronzebeard (right next to Mrs. Thai) sells Fragment Crates for Restored Artifacts, obtained by replenishing Mogu or Pandaren items.
Forest Hozen and Pearlfin Jinyu
Hozen: A fiery and violent ape people with a short lifespan
Jinyu: A pisciform, reserved and methodical people.
These two reputations rise on their own during quests in the Jade Forest, the first for the Hordid characters, the second for the Alliance characters. In both cases, in the end, it allows you to get Bubble, a goldfish.
