I’m closing in on exalted with the Hydraxian Waterlords. I haven’t been doing my one run a week consistently (it’s so boring) but I’ve started again.
Good news: if/when you move on to BC reps, it’s not necessarily that bad, because there’s a trick you can use to grind out the Hyjal reputation in an afternoon like I did. I think that’s Scale of the Sands. The first trash mobs come in eight respawning waves, followed by a boss. Kill the waves for rep, immediately retreat before the boss aggros on you and hide in a back corner of the map until he kills Jaina. That’ll reset the raid, as long as you haven’t killed that boss. She’ll take about five minutes to respawn and you can do it again.
Tedious? Yes. Less tedious than grinding that out with a run a week for months? That’s up to you.
There’s a similar trick with the BC dungeon rep associated with the bronze dragons, I’m blanking on the name. In the Black Morass heroic version, you can kill all 17 waves, then let the last boss kill Medivh so it resets.
The Darkmoon buff is upcoming, so it’s a good time to take this on. Don’t forget to bring your guild banner!
