Tankadin's guide to Faction Gear

This is a list of current items of interest to Tankadins available from each WotLK faction and what level they are available at.

This list will be kept updated as needed and will be finalized when retail Wrath hits the shelves.

While there are many quest rewards for Alliance/Horde-only factions listed at the bottom, as yet there are no reputation rewards excepting the Schematic: Mekgineer's Chopper available, I'm assuming, to both Horde and Alliance through the Warsong Offensive and Valiance Expedition. Notice the tooltip on this one, it's for Horde, but check out the races

Neutral Factions
Argent Crusade, Kirin Tor, Knights of the Ebon Blade and Wyrmrest Accord are all factions that can be Championed. Championing is accomplished by wearing the tabard of a faction (gained at Friendly), which allows you to gain reputation with that faction in any normal or heroic dungeon that is level 80.

While it isn't gear you do need it to get it so I've added the Reputation values for Championing below.

Code: Select all

                 Normal      Heroic

Non elite        0            1-2
Elite trash      5            15
Super trash      10           30
Boss             50           250

Stuff at Honored and Revered is usually Rare, so blue.

Stuff at Exalted is usually Epic, so purple.

Plus, mousing over gives the wowhead link. Whatcha complaining about? I really like the list, hope it'll keep getting updated once Wrath hits.

I think its great. Thank you for putting the time into it, will help alot of people in saving time. Now we can go straight for what rep we need the most. great job!!

Thanks for this, been waiting for some gear guides to crop up. Sticky and sticky for Wrath as well.

Actually since this section is a bit filled of stickies
...

Well i can temporary sticky it and later move it to Gear section.

Yar, I figured most stickies were so they didn't get lost

Yeah I know it will move once the forums get consolidated after 3.0/wrath hits, but I figure it should be here for now also

And yeah, mouseover's work great for letting you know what colour it is. Also, the forums make the links certain colours, not sure I can override that.

thanks for the list

Oracles for Mysterious Egg which, if comments are true, will hatch to Proto-Drake Whelp.

Thanks for the list, exactly what I was looking for.
