I've been running Scholomance repeatedly for reputation points, now that I'm half way through revered onto exaulted only boss mob kills have any gains. Is there any more effective ways to do this quite slow and time consuming grind?
The repeatable Cauldren quests in the WPL (out of the Bulwark) also provide rep through Revered. Get yourself an Ossious Aggitator and some Arcane Quickeners (from the one of the guys at the Bulwark) and farm Felstone Field. Not only do you get to finish the Cauldren quest for 25 rep each, but you get tons of Scourgestones, many of them Invaders. It's a good way to grind rep between Scholo runs.
The Cauldren quests are good (note, the low level only only gives you 15rep). The annoying thing about them is the arcane quickeners don't stack =[
One teedious way to get rep is to farm the front of strat ud. A couple guildies wanted their hunter boots from the spider boss in strat ud. We farmed it 8 times in a couple of hours to get both pairs of boots. You get tons of rep and stones... plus the 25rep for the boss and ther coruptor stone.
I wouldn't bother doing this until you're honored though. You get rep for undead outside of the instances until honored. When hit honored, only the creatures inside the instances give you rep... and when you hit revered, you're just plainly screwed... only the bosses give you rep.
But what I do I know... my main is just honored =]
In any case, with the new quest rewards available from AD, you'll want to at least get revered. It knocks the number of insignia's needed down to 7.

We're doing this at the moment. You can take a brief detour to pick up the Magister Boots at the same time. Only takes one extra fight if Hearthsinger spawns in the right place.
Off the top of my head I would think Scholo would be better if you're revered. But it's just an educated guess. The reasoning being that in Strat you just have I think 7 or 8 boss fights to get rep from... Where as in Scholo you have 7 just in Gandling's room (assuming the side bosses count)... then you also have Ras Frostwhisperer, the Blood Guardian (if she counts), the Bat, Rattlegore, Jandice, the guy in the big AOE room before Ras, and if the invasion is still going you have Lord Blackwood as well.
One interesting thing i learned last night is if you have a non-multiple of 5 rep, you can't get revered by killing trash mobs in an instance. Our priest in our scholo run last night needed 4pts to get revered. After revered you don't get rep from trash mobs in instances (just repeatable quests and bosses). Since a trash mob gives 5 rep, he didn't get any... but he wasn't revered either. It wasn't until the next boss that he got pushed over the revered point.
Now all sources of AD rep I know of gives you multiples of 5... so I don't know how he got that rep... maybe doing a WPL quest which gave him a decayed amount of rep.

If he's human then the 10% bonus to rep can do that.
The fastest form of rep is a group doing scholo with the intent of "rep" and know how to "play". Throw in a Dawn's Gambit + Blood of Innocents and you have a bucket load of rep. Basically you get two corruptors (100 rep) + 1 scale (50 rep) + 12 * 25 boss rep kills + 50 (gandling) = 500 rep in two hours. There is nothing faster than this especially when you throw shards (usually 2-3 per person). Probably snag enough invadors two get 100 rep every third run. If you get defaulted all the stones...You can easily get 500rep/hour in scholo.
Felstone field #1 is the second fastest with approximately 150-200 rep/hour (40 minion stones/hour + 3-4 cauldrons). You also get a hefty amount of bone chips (usually 20-30 hour). The key to farmign field #1 is pacing yourself and not going balls-out all the time. Constant killing is the key.
