BFA Pathfinder Part 2 - A Primer

It took me right around 8 days to finish BFA Pathfinder part 2, but had I known some of the neat little tips and tricks I would have had it done in around 6 days. Here are a few things I picked up along the way to help you out on your grind!

Mechagon

Outside of the dailies, there are a few things that you can do to help speed you along.

Fish the “secret fish of mechagon” each day. Once per day you can turn these fish in for a rep bonus. Just make sure you turn in after you snag each fish as they have a 5 minute expiration on them.

Grind out the parts in Junkwatt’s depot for your daily turn-in. Only takes a few minutes with a couple other people inside and it’s worth 150 rep per day.

Pet battles! You don’t have to wait for them to pop up as a daily to do the pet battles and get rep for them. After the first defeat of each legendary pet battle you get a quest to turn in. That’s a total of 600 rep in Mechagon. Following is a list of pet battles and waypoints:
/way Mechagon Island 64.73. 64.50 Gnomefeaster
/way Mechagon Island 60.57. 46.22 Sputtertube
/way Mechagon Island 60.75. 56.67 Goldenbot XD
/way Mechagon Island 59.22. 50.89 Creakclank
/way Mechagon Island 65.23. 57.71 CK-9 Micro-Opression Unit
/way Mechagon Island 51.18. 45.39 Unit 35
/way Mechagon Island 39.45. 40.23 Unit 6
/way Mechagon Island 72.31. 72.74 Unit 17

Nazjatar

In addition to the daily quests in Nazjatar, there are several tips/tricks you can do in order to speed up your rep grind.

Kill the trees daily. They have a chance to drop Ancient Coral Bark which is good for 350 rep!

Remember to do your weekly stone at Mardivas’ Laboratory! That’s 500 rep per week but you can only do 1 turn in per week.

Pet Battles! Just like in mechagon, you do NOT have to wait for the legendary pet battles to complete the battles. The first time you defeat each legendary pet battle (1 time ever) you get a quest to turn in in Mezzamere. In total there is 3000 reputation in Nazjatar from pet battles alone. There are 10 pet battles and the list can be found by viewing the “Nautical Nuisances of Nazjatar” achievement. You can get coordinates from WoWhead for each pet. Following is a list of all pet battles and coordinates:
/way 36.87. 27.75 Prince Wiggletail Cave Entrance
/way 71.97 51.19 Chomp
/way 58.40 48.29 Silence
/way 42.33 14.39 Shadowspike Lurker
/way 49.46. 50.47 Pearlhusk Crawler Cave Entrance
/way 51.29. 74.83 Elderspawn of Nalaada (Beware of Eels)
/way 29.8. 48.53 Ravenous Scalespawn
/way 56.22. 11.02 Mindshackle
/way 47.17. 27.01 Kelpstone
/way 37.97. 16.57 Voltgorger
/way 58.08. 26.81 Frenzied Knifefang (UNDERWATER)
/way 28.47. 28.23 Giant Opaline Conch

Each follower will grant you a quest worth 400 rep once they reach level 5. It is worth it IMO to get each one to 5 for this rep bump then continue leveling the follower you prefer.

Farm Eels, Crabs, and rays. Each of those has a chance to drop a rep item. Each one can be used 1x daily.

I hope all of this information is useful to someone! Good luck grinding out your pathfinder!

oh sweet, thank you for the tips!!

now, do you have to have both reps on same character?

No, just have to earn revered on a toon but I feel like it would be easier to just grind it out on one toon. To each their own, though!

I’m hoping when reset happens I’ll be able to hit revered with just WQs and quests. I’m so close. I should get pathfinder p2 today. :heart:

Gonna farm the eels, crabs, and rays,etc if I dont.

Thank you.

About 25% of the way through Honored w/ the goblins and then I will start the gnomes. Hoping contracts will be available soon so I can get exalted eventually w/ both.

What’s the item the crabs and rays and stuff drop?

What a chore to have to log in each day and only do quests on the new isles for pathfinder2 . Limited time and the want for flying makes it so .

Thanks! I screwed myself by not getting the chromie plan and if she pops up today I’ll miss it again as I can’t be on…

I’m 6k/12k with Mech and 7k/12k Naz. I absolutely CANNOT WAIT TO FLY!!!

Ahhh great news, thank you so much! The reason I want to do it on two is pretty simple lol, this guy started first so he is about half way thru honored with nazjatar, and then I started running my pally thru mech while my bf was off, and she is much easier to play with than the hunter right now for me. so she’s spending more time, and has been flying thru the rep faster for the time she’s been playing. I can handle multiple mobs with her and not break a sweat (tank mode, slow but alive).

I broke down last night and got the contract for the nazjatar side just to get thru it fastest as possible on the hunter. He may never see the light of day in there again when done lol. still shocked i paid that price though (almost 22k).

thanks again, will be using these tips and hints for sure!
