Reputation building was one of the biggest grinds in Outland and since the release of Northrend, many people have started seeing the same basic returns in the new content. However, the reputations have been streamlined slightly more this time around, making it much easier to get through content while developing reputation and not needing to spend weeks or months building it up before you can get the necessary rewards you need for your class or your raiding strategies.
Tabards
Tabards are the first addition to the game that has made it so much easier to hit top level content in reputation grinds without having to spend hours and hours grinding away in a dungeon you’re tired of. You can now purchase tabards for all the major neutral factions and wear them into any of the dungeons in the game and build reputation with that faction. Tabards are available from Quartermasters in reputation homes and in Dalaran. Heroic dungeons reward anywhere between 1000 and 2000 reputation for completion of the dungeons.
Questing and Instances
In addition to the way in which you can run instances with tabards, you can also now quest much more with each faction than before. Certain quests will reward you with more reputation for entire groups of factions. In addition, a lot more is tied to your main factions (horde and alliance) as there is no major faction split this time around (no Aldor or Scryer this time out). You can also switch between factions much more easily as in the case of Frenzyheart and Oracle. Progressive instancing has also made reputation gain at higher levels easier once you get to places like Icecrown Glacier.
Spread Out Dailies
The Dailies available throughout Northrend are not only more numerous, they are available starting at Level 71 and will continue to flow into your quest log through Level 80. You can use them all to boost reputation, allowing you to get reputation higher at a lower level than you could in the past. This is great for those who are more interested in the rewards available than reaching a higher level sooner.
Regardless of how you play the game, reputation gain has been made much easier than it ever was before. For those that know how to play the new system, the game is built much more friendly to anyone that just wants that mammoth a bit cheaper or their new enchants.
