Reputation and Wool/Silk/Mageweave donation

[teacake]

Okay so I have been saving my wool and silk and now mageweave in the bank thinking I will just donate it all at lvl 40 towards SW rep. And now I read on some other forum references to getting very little rep out of this if you do it at a higher level.. and that you can only do it once a day. I feel like an idiot. I have so much of this stuff and I should have been donating it all along. I am lvl 35.

Is there a link to a chart as to how much rep you get for which item at which level?

And a comment from that which I'll quote

As a level 46 I got the following for the cloth turn in quests.

60 x Silk - 2,400 xp and 350 reputation
60 x Mageweave - 4,750 xp and 350 rep

[HandofDread]

I've turned in 60 silk before and it is helpful if your trying to gain exalted with a faction for their mount.


For example... your an Troll who wants an Orc mount... etc etc...

Overall though it's too much of a pain to obtain a stack of 60 just for 350 rep points...

"and that you can only do it once a day."

incorrect, you can only do wool/silk/mageweave donations once each.
runecloth is a repeatable starting at lvl 50, without any limits.

OK, time to clear up some old information and misconceptions.

It USED to be that you got less reputation for cloth turn-ins if you were not of an appropriate level. This was patched out some time ago. You now get the same reputation even if you turn these in at level 70 (I don't know about the xp and couldn't find the answer).

The wool, silk, and mageweave quests may be done only once per faction. Each involves turning in 60 pieces of the appropriate cloth.

[12] A Donation of Wool - 350 reputation, 650xp
[25] A Donation of Silk - 350 reputation, 1650xp
[40] A Donation of Mageweave - 350 reputation, 4750xp

The runecloth quest works a little differently. This becomes available at level 50 and you must complete the first 60-piece turn-in to get the repeatable part. The initial "A Donation of Runecloth" quest is 60 pieces of runecloth and yields 350xp and 6600xp. After you have completed this, you can repeat this quest by turning in stacks of 20; each stack will yield 75xp with that faction. This isn't a once-per-day thing; you can sit there and turn in as many stacks of runecloth as you want once that option becomes available.

You need to complete the wool, silk, and mageweave quests to open up the repeatable Runecloth quest with that faction.

Hope this clears things up.

Thank you Renata for all your info. I guess there is a lot of old info out there. One question though, when you say "The wool, silk, and mageweave quests may be done only once per faction" does that mean now that I have donated 60 wool to Stormwind I can't donate any more?

I have been trying to do only Stormwind rep quests in order to get a horse rather than the tin bird, lol. I am about halfway through Revered.

So xp sclaes but not the reputation.

One other thing to consider would be getting the PVP Mount at 60. Have to have your owm races default mount from 40 to 60, but from 60 until forever (which is a lot longer :p) you'll have which ever alliance mount you wish.

The PVP mount costs 30 AB, 30 WSG and 30 AV marks. Might seem like a lot but personally I think it'll take a lot less time then it would to grind out all the rune cloth you'll need...
If you do go for the PVP mount, I recommend grinding out the 30 AB and 30 WSG tokens before 59. The 30 AV tokens will take longer then grinding the other two sets combined, so unless you're a massive pvp fun, that'll be a LOT of pvp and will halt your leveling for a fairly long time.

Once, you've donated 60 wool to Stormwind, you cannot donate another 60 wool to Stormwind. Ironforge, Darnassus, Exodar, Gnomish refugees, yes. Stormwind... No.

It's like any other quest in that sense, a one shot. Only the runecloth becomes a repeatable one. As already outlined.

On yet another note, you might want to consider heading towards Elwynn Forest and start questing there. You hardly get experience and the rewards are trash, but you do get full reputation. It is a much faster, cheaper and in most cases more enjoyable way of gaining reputation than repeatedly turning in stacks of Runecloth (which can also only be done at level 50 or higher).

Before this full reputation thing was introduced, I did all lowbie IF rep quests with my gnome because I wanted a ram. Not much rep, but better than nothing, I thought. Needless to say I was quite upset about this after patch 1.9 or 1.10 or whatever patch this was changed in. I did all the quests already for 10 or 20 rep each! Brewfest saved me though, I've got a nice looking ram now at level 40. :)

[teacake]

Wow, I don't know how I ended up with such misguided ideas :( People always talk about donation as a good way to get rep but the one shot deal is not very exciting.

I have done Elwyn Forest, Duskwood, lots of Redridge.. been doing all the Southshore ones now. With 4 levels to go before I can buy the mount I can see that I have a long way to go to getting a horse.

Maybe you all can answer one more newbie question. If I get a second mount once eventually exalted is this dramatically more money than the first? (I am not talking about the epic ones, just wondering if there is some scale to it.)

Thanks for all your answers.

It's more a case of things adding up. And those 1400 rep points, could just be enough to push someone over into exalted, and that will eventually lead to rep overspill. That means as much as, say I'm exalted with Forsaken, I then do a Forsaken oriented quest, then the rep for that doesn't go to my Forsaken rep, but it then spills over to the other factions.

My mage is exalted with UC, and I've found that when I do a quest which would net me Forsaken rep, that I end up with 63 or 67 rep points towards the Darkspear Tribe, which is one of the factions with which I'm not exalted.
And considering that certain factions are a bit harder to get full rep for, due to not having as many quest npc's. It can help.

Nope, on the contrary, it'll cost less.
Have to keep in mind that you need to be exalted in order to get a mount with another faction, but exalted also means you get a 20% discount on things.

So, if you initially bought your racial mount, whilest not being exalted, you pay X for the mount itself. (I'm using X, because your exact rep level will have effected how much you paid for it, considering that friendly, honoured and revered also net you lesser discounts) Let's say friendly. 5% discount on 10g

Well, that second mount will be purchased with a 20% discount on 10g.

Plus, the real expense with mounts is the training, but you've already gotten that, so you no longer need to worry about that either.

[Wintrow]

Yes, mounts are cheap, lessons are expensive

[Renata]

Teacake, did you go back into the very newbiest of newbie zones for Stormwind, the 1-5 Northshire Abbey quests? Yes, you can do those for full rep too. My BE priest went back and did the 1-5 Durotar quests when she was almost level 30 and picked up about 3000 rep (as well as some very funny looks from real newbies).

The only 1-5 newbie zones you can't do, for some reason, are the Blood Elf and Draenei newbie zones. They don't let you do those if you're not a BE or Draenei. But all the old world player factions will allow it.

Thanks so much for your explanations about mount costs! I think I will be okay cost wise thanks to a fortuitous drop in the Wetlands, lol.

Renata I think I will go to Northshire Abbey and hunt for those quests.. (I know they don't show, you have to mouse over 'em). I have done a few of those in Stormwind when I came across an NPC low level quest giver by accident. I have been very thoroughly going through every SW quest area.. though I got distracted and did Loch Moden at one point.

Offtopic, I love the whole South Shore area! It's gorgeous.
