Thunder Bluff reputation guide
Based on Classic Era. WoW Forever has not shown its reputations yet, so the numbers and rewards below can still change.
Thunder Bluff is the faction of the tauren capital on the high mesas in the north of Mulgore, reached by elevators. High Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof founded the city after the tauren, with the help of the orcs, drove the centaurs out of Mulgore. The reputation is for the Horde only.
Where you start
Where you start depends on your race. These are the values in the faction data of the Classic Era client, which the database wago.tools reads out of build 1.15.9.
| Your race | Standing at the start |
|---|---|
| Tauren | Friendly, 1,000 into the standing |
| Orc, Troll | Friendly, 100 into the standing |
| Forsaken | Neutral, 500 into the standing |
| Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome | Hated, at the very bottom |
Friendly holds 6,000 reputation, so a character of the city’s own race begins 900 ahead of the rest of its side.
The Forsaken are the exception. They begin at Neutral here, a standing lower than the rest of the Horde, and it runs both ways: Orcs, Tauren and Trolls begin at Neutral with Undercity.
The standings
| Standing | Reputation in the standing | Needed from the start of Friendly |
|---|---|---|
| Friendly | 6,000 | 0 |
| Honored | 12,000 | 6,000 |
| Revered | 21,000 | 18,000 |
| Exalted | 1,000 | 39,000 |
Where the reputation comes from
Quests
Quests for Thunder Bluff give the most reputation. Wowhead points to Mulgore, The Barrens, Thousand Needles and Feralas. Most quests for one Horde city also give a quarter of that reputation to the other Horde cities.
Cloth donations
Rumstag Proudstrider, the Horde Cloth Quartermaster at Thunder Bluff Armorers, takes cloth. Every quest opens the next one, only for Thunder Bluff; Additional Runecloth opens after the four donations.
| Quest | Level | Asks | Reputation | Experience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Donation of Wool | 12 | 60 Wool Cloth | 150 | 650 |
| A Donation of Silk | 26 | 60 Silk Cloth | 150 | 1,650 |
| A Donation of Mageweave | 40 | 60 Mageweave Cloth | 150 | 3,300 |
| A Donation of Runecloth | 50 | 60 Runecloth | 150 | 6,600 |
| Additional Runecloth, repeatable | 50 | 20 Runecloth | 50 | 0 |
The fastest way to Exalted
- Do the quests in the zones above; the reputation also spills over to the other Horde cities.
- Turn in the four cloth donations as soon as your level allows: 600 reputation.
- Then repeat Additional Runecloth. Revered to Exalted alone takes 420 turn-ins, or 8,400 Runecloth.
Rewards
- From Honored: a 10 percent discount at Thunder Bluff vendors, on repairs, training and flights.
- At Exalted: characters of the other Horde races can buy kodos from Harb Clawhoof in Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore.
