Bodyguard Reputation Farming
Bodyguards know about shrinkage, right?
Running around as a Blood Death Knight has certain perks. Things like being nigh unkillable in PVE content as long as I don’t do something incredibly stupid. Bringing along a Bodyguard follower to throw in some deeps isn’t really a bad idea either.
But like any relationship, it takes work. You haven’t built that rapport with your Bodyguard yet, so you’re not getting the best they have to offer. They’re going to hold back a bit. But once you build that bond, they start to open up a bit more.
Unlike a regular relationship, you can fast-track through the courtship phase and get right into them goodies.
I’ve got two places I like to take my Bodyguard to build that bond.
The first, and I think the best, is the Burning Front in Talador. There are little gateways that demons are constantly pouring out of. Just set up in front and start killing. I got the 10k rep to take my Bodyguard reputation from Rank 1 to Rank 2 in 35 minutes. Probably could have gone faster but I was feeling lazy. So I just put on some music and did the damn thing.
ZaFrostPet over on Youtube made a short video about the spot, so enjoy it won’t you?
The second place is in Nagrand. Now this spot is less about grinding rep and more about grinding gold. The respawns are fewer and not quite as fast. But the mobs are higher level, and have a chance to drop some good AH items. Thirty minutes here only got me about 2500 rep, but I probably made around 600 gold in AH stuff and vendor items.
Oldbess has a video that outlines the joys and sorrows of this spot. You should watch it. For reelz.
Those are the two spots I like to use. Do you have any places where you go to grind follower rep?
Golden Garrisons and Harrison Jones
A quick Monday post to update on my gold-grind with garrisons.
During the weekend I went on all five Horde characters and opened any Salvage items they had. Did the same thing Monday morning, since I was pretty busy all weekend and didn’t have much game time. So after cashing in all the items, and all the cash rewards, I did the math. I started this last Monday, so my math was for seven days.
One week total: 21,074gp between five characters.
Not bad for basically zero effort. If I wanted to, I could probably use that gold to buy the tokens and play for free.
Now, Harrison Jones. For the longest time I would see him pop up in garrisons, offering a daily quest. I knew you could get him as a follower if you completed enough of his daily missions, but what I didn’t know was the real benefits of having him as a follower. He has a Mentor ability, and as someone who is picking up these Level 90 Treasure Hunters, that ability is something that I’m definitely looking for.
I look forward to adding Mr Jones to my sweatshops gold-making garrisons.
