I just saw this quote in a post on the official forums:

Quote:
Do all the newbie quests related to gnome rep, since you now get full honor for even the level 1 quests.

Is this true? If so this is a huge change. I know at least some of the repeatable rep quests give more reputation now. But I had no I idea I could take a level 60 character to a level 10 zone and get full reputation for doing the quests.

I did notice I got more CC rep on some text turn ins. Guess Blizz wants to help us all get more rep faster for TBC.

Yea I just did the quest Steelsnap (Level 30 Quest) and I did it at level 47 and when I turned it in I got a full 250 Darkspear rep.

I thought it was just exp for a minute and then I was like woooot hooot. Not sure why they are going it.

Well, if this is the case then expect to start seeing high level characters in low level zones doing quests for the reputation. It’s much cheaper and easier than buying/farming cloth.

WoW! If this is the case-my druid is heading to Durotar to get those quests I never did!

With the Holiday quests coming up(those usually give across the board rep), and this, and runecloth giving more rep-I may get a different wolf for my druid faster than I expected! Weeeee!

I don't know if this is something I just overlooked before, but one of my Troll/Orc starting area quests gave me 500 Orgrimmar/Darkspear Trolls rep each on my new alt rogue.

I don't think all the quests work. I tried to do a few quests in the orc/troll starting area on my undead warrior and I couldn't do them correctly. The 2nd quest you get, to kill the piggies, wasn't giving me credit for kills when I killed them. Also I couldn't get the claw from the scorpion for the dieing troll under the tree.

I was able to do a few level 10ish Thunder Bluff quests on my hunter though. Got 200+ rep a pop.

Dang - I've already done the starting area (1-10) quests for all the factions on all of my ids already! :/

Still, it's nice to know I can take my Trolls back to Silverpine (10-20) and get better rep even though they are all in their mid-20s. My Night Elves haven't done much in Redridge yet either so I'm good there. :)

I just tested this out and it’s true. I took my level 59 NE hunter to the dwarven starting area. He’d already done the quests in the next area, but not in the newbie section. I did all the quests and walked away with the following reputation…

Ironforge: 2,275
Gnomeregan Exiles: 2,425

If nothing else, this should save people the time/cost of a LOT of cloth.

Yeah, if you turn in a grey quest now, you will get the normal amount of rep, as opposed to 1/10 normal. And if you turn them in at the quest's level, you get a whopping 10x normal.

With the increase in rep rewards for high level quests, such as feathers and beads for Timbermaw reputation (which no longer give the 500 xp reward), I would assume the change in lower level quest rep rewards are intentional and as permanent as anything else in game.

I’m curious where you got your numbers from. I’ve not read anything official on this. It would be nice to know the official numbers to quote in future posts. I know the Timbermaw reward went from 50 rep per turn in to 75 rep per turn in. So that doesn’t match your numbers. However, that is a repeatable quest. One time quests may well be different.

Yeah!
10 Twilight Texts now gives 250 rep with CC instead of 100. That made me ding revered last night. /cheer

I gained around 8k rep last night with Orgrimmar just doing Razor Hill and a few in Ashenvale and Stonetalon that I had skipped. Hitting up Swamp of Sorrows later and any more I may have skipped along the way! Getting so close to exalted I can taste it!

I am hoping there will be a boost to AD rep as well, I have loads of things I need to go turn in over there. Still cannot decide on the 18 slot bag or the +18 stamina ring for my druid. If the cauldrons give more than the +15 or +25, it would be really nice!

The only difficulty I see with this is trying to figure out which low level NPCs have quests to do since we’ll no longer see any symbols over their heads. I’ve done the low level alliance quests so often I think I could find the NPCs blindfolded. The horde side will be a bit more challenging should I switch back. Sites such as this will prove invaluable for those seriously seeking faction rep boosts.

Ok I know this is not the easiest way to do it but if you go to a low level town you can simply run over all the NPCs and see which ones give you an option of right clicking on them.

I did this last night and it was not to bad at all (but I'm more patient then anyone I know) but I'm not in a super rush to get these all done in one night.

Heh, yes, I spent alot of time running around clicking on everyone in any given town just to see if they had something I could do for them! And I did search for some of the "hidden" quests here-ones I had no idea about way back when. And it helps having an epic mount for those lowbie timed quests! "Hmmm, I have 45 minute to do this...ok, 5 minutes later, done!"

If this is the case, then I think it is most unfortunate. I can envision low levels having to wait in line behind all the level 60's going for faction boosts. In a way, it defeats the purpose of leveling and gaining experience as you fight and quest through areas. When I was lower level, I made a concious choice where to level and quest based on who I wanted to gain reputation with. Now it would seem you have an almost unlimited number of do-overs.

Well I can say one thing-I wasn't taking quest mobs away from any low level while I was fighting last night. In fact, I think I only ever saw one low level and he was in town at the time. Back when I started my druid, I knew nothing about rep or whether I could even get a wolf mount by gaining more rep back then. It's easier now when I start an alt, I make sure to do all the noob zones and catch every quest possible, but it just didn't happen when I first started-things were not that clear then(at least not for me).

Yeah it is sort of a cheap do-over, but I think Blizz is trying to get people doing more and getting ready for BC. Maybe it was something they had intended all along and forgot to fix along time ago. I like it because it gives me another way to gain things without raiding and/or pvping. =)

I know something strange is going on. I got Stormwind Revered on my 40 Mage way before I got Revered on my 60 Warrior.

Yes - but you also have to check again after running a few quests because sometimes a quest won't open until you've done some other seemingly unrelated quest first. I have found this in the Forsaken starting area particularly.

This is the only aspect of the change that concerns me. When I went to the dwarven starting zone I was very surprised to find so many people there with new characters. I simply ran to the out of the way areas and killed the mobs there. But I expect a lot of people would not choose to be courteous to players who are there to level.

As far as allowing players to level faction rep more quickly, I don’t have a problem with that. I actually find our mount restrictions within our own faction to be completely unreasonable to start with. Now if we wanted cross faction mounts those should be hard to get. With the current change we still have to work for our cross racial mounts, just not as hard as we used to.

As you say, Calabar, I doubt everyone will be as considerate. This is one time I hope I am wrong.

Were you getting the usual faction spillover for doing Orgrimmar/Ironforge quests? That is, 50% of the gain going to the other factions?

Yes. As a matter of fact I hit revered with Darkspear Trolls while doing those last night! I also kept a running total of my Org rep, and when the log said only "+250 Darkspear Rep", I would still get around 75(or more) Org rep.
