Wild About Wildhammer
Craw MacGraw does not serve alcohol, and he calls himself a dwarf!
Remember questing all the way through Twilight Highlands? You don’t? Congratulations, neither do most people!
Twilight Highlands was in such a bad place, leveling-wise. You needed to run the first few quests so that you unlocked the portal back to your capital city. After that, you were close enough to hitting 85 that you’d just run an instance or two to ding. After that, there wasn’t much point in going further along any quest lines.
That is, of course, unless you knew what sweet rewards were waiting for you once you repped up.
Okay, maybe most of the rep stuff isn’t very sweet. Let’s be real here – the only reason people rep up in Twilight Highlands is for the sweet Melee DPS head enchants, which you get at Revered (score!). It’s also a Bind on Account enchant, so you only need one character to get it and send it to your alts (not the case with the previously mentioned Therazane rep, bastards – double score!).
But let’s see what we get if we take the time to rep up – starting Alliance-side with those zany, drunken, gryphon-loving madmen, the Wildhammer Clan!

Honored
Revered
- Arcanum of the Wildhammer
- Band of Singing Grass
- Crown of Wings
- Gryphon Talon Gauntlets
- Windhome Helm
Exalted
Like I said, most people who grind this rep don’t need to go past Revered. Still, if you’re that close to getting Exalted, what’s a little more abuse? Besides, who doesn’t love a little Dwarven love?
Don’t answer that. Or Google it.
It’s All About The Purples
I guess I picked this Judgement armor because it looked like a super hero costume. Like Spider-Man with knives on his shoulders. But whatever, it’s Outland Heroic dungeons which means lockout, which means it takes some time to assemble the gear.
Head – Mask of Penance (BoP from Mekgineer Steamrigger in Normal and Heroic Steamvault, at a 22% drop rate)
Shoulders – Justice Bearer’s Pauldrons (BoP from Omor the Unscarred in Heroic Ramparts at a 16% drop rate)
Chest – Breastplate of Many Graces (BoP from Grandmaster Vorpil in Normal and Heroic Shadow Labyrinth, at a 17% drop rate)
Wrists – Virtue Bearer’s Vambraces (BoP from Broggok in Heroic Blood Furnace, at a 20% drop rate)
Gloves – Life Bearer’s Gauntlets (BoP from the Reinforced Fel Iron Chest in Heroic Ramparts, after defeating Nazan and Vazruden, at a 20% drop rate)
Waist – Girdle of Many Blessings (BoP from Rokmar the Crackler in Heroic Slave Pens, at a 16% drop rate)
Legs – Cassock of the Loyal (BoP from Hungarfen in Heroic Underbog, at a 15% drop rate)
Feet – Boots of the Watchful Heart (BoP from Captain Skarloc in Heroic Old Hillsbrad Foothills, at a 16% drop rate)
I have most of the visible stuff (if I get the legs/dress it will cover the feet, and the gauntlets cover the bracers) which has me pretty stoked. Even though I admired the look in only his half-Judgement gear, it wasn’t until I transmogged his new swords that I notice how he’s rocking the color purple more than Oprah did –
Which works great for me since I like the color purple. But then I swapped out the scorpion mount –
… and made a slight adjustment with his flying mount –
and what you end up with is what all the cool orcs are going to be wearing this year.
Edit: Saturday, January 7 2012 I knocked another piece off the list:
Legs – Cassock of the Loyal (BoP from Hungarfen in Heroic Underbog, at a 15% drop rate)
Herc makes this look good.
