You can purchase your own race's mount regardless of your reputation provided you have enough gold stockpiled. However, to purchase another race's mount, your reputation with that race's faction must be "Exalted". Before Patch 1.12.1, it was required to get additional training to ride that race's mounts. After Patch 1.12.1, a universal riding skill was introduced that superseded all the mount-specific riding skills. Do keep in mind that mount vendors of cities owned by races other than your own will not show you what they have to offer unless you are exalted with them.

There are two exceptions:

* Tauren can only ride kodo beasts, wolves, talbuks, and the rare epic mounts as they are just too large to ride anything else.
o The [Black War Raptor] is also ridable by tauren, but none of the other raptors are ridable.
* Mechanostriders can only be ridden by gnomes and dwarves, as they are the only races small enough.

'EXALTED' ?? -_-
is that after honor???

and Donation of Wool, gives u more rep than quests?

Exalted is after Revered, which is after Honored.

If you want another race's mount, the best way to get it is starting to quest in the starter's area of the race in question. The rewards for these quests are of course of no use to you anymore and the exp is non-existant, but since a certain patch the reputation gain is still the same. If you do every quest in the starter area's, you will be able to get to exalted reputation soon enough.

At level 56, I ground my warrior to get Darnassus rep (I love that big scary tiger :)

As snowe suggested, the best technique is doing all of that faction's quests. If you find this boring or simply can't find anymore, you can hand in wool, mageweave and silk once, then runecloth endlessly, though this is really expensive. I suggest just doing Battlegrounds until you have enough Marks of Honor, as the BG mounts look the coolest and you earn honor whilst doing it.

Green (friendly) factions are as follows:

Friendly
Honored
Revered
Exalted

You need to earn 3000 reputation points to reach Friendly, 6000 to get to Honored, 12000 to get to Revered and 21000 for Exalted. In other words, until you're Revered, you need twice as many points as you did the previous level to achieve the next rung.

It's much easier than it used to be, but don't count on getting it at 40. You can easily get into Revered, but you pretty much have to do anything that comes up that might get you rep with your chosen faction.

My husband recently did this with his blood elf with undead faction. He started out doing every undead-rep quest that he could, starting at level 5 and running his character up through Tirisfal Glades, Silverpine, etc. We did a lot of research that would give him any shot at undead faction (or Horde faction, since that gives rep boosts to all Horde factions). He did all the undead cloth turn-ins when those became available. When he couldn't get quests that gave him undead faction, and there were some dry spells there, he did anything that gave him any other Horde faction since those give a little bit of faction to undead too. He also did any holiday quests that came along, since many of those also give Horde faction, although he got screwed out of the harvest quest since it was broken for both blood elves and Draenei.

By the time his blood elf was level 50, he only had to do one runecloth turn-in to put him over the top. (There are several cloth turn-in quests, but only the runecloth one is repeatable).

It probably depends on the faction you're going for; some factions seem to have more faction based quests than others. Troll faction is much harder to get on the Horde side than Orgrimmar (orc) faction is, for example.

Don't count on being able to do it by the time you're 40. If you hit holiday quests just right, you might be able to get it before you're 50, but you really have to work pretty singlemindedly to get there.

Once you can get into Alterac Valley (51+), there can be other options, and once you're 50 you can do runecloth turn-ins, which can be expensive. Another option is that you can earn PvP points toward the PvP mounts, which are similar to the racial mounts but the color and armor is a bit different.
