Where the reputation comes from

Arathi Basin

Your team earns reputation for every step of resources it gathers. The Warcraft wiki counts 16 reputation for every 260 resources, or 96 reputation for a won battle. On Arathi Basin holiday weekends the step drops to 200 resources, for 128 reputation per win.

A win also gives 3 Marks of Honor for Arathi Basin, a loss 1. The quest For Great Honor takes 3 Marks of Honor from each battleground for a larger reputation reward.

Quests

The Battle for Arathi Basin! opens at Neutral, and Take Four Bases at Friendly. Take Five Bases, at Exalted, gives the Battle Tabard of the Defilers.

The fastest way to Exalted

1. Play Arathi Basin on holiday weekends: 128 reputation per win instead of 96.
2. Hold as many bases as you can; more resources mean more reputation, even in a battle you lose.
3. Do the quests at Hammerfall as soon as your standing opens them.
4. Keep Marks of Honor from every battleground for For Great Honor.
