WoW Forever Darkspear Islands Reputation Guide

Darkspear Islands is the new 15v15 battleground of WoW Forever, and each side has its own reputation there: the Theramore Expeditionary Force for the Alliance and the Darkspear Raiders for the Horde. The two quartermasters stand in the Barrens and sell 52 items for gold, from trinkets at level 33 to epic shoulders and gloves of item level 65 at Exalted. The Exalted rank also gives a battle tabard and a Legacy Point.

Below, we list every known source of reputation, where the vendors stand and what they sell at each rank. Blizzard has not published how much reputation a match gives, so we say which numbers are confirmed and which are not.

Darkspear Islands Reputation at a Glance

Creeg Bothunk at the Merchant Coast (1), Ratchet (2) and Bryanna Embreeze at Northwatch Hold (3)

The reputation scale is the usual one: 3,000 points from Neutral to Friendly, 6,000 more to Honored, 12,000 to Revered and 21,000 to Exalted, 42,000 in total. How the battleground itself is played is in our Darkspear Islands battleground guide.

How to Earn Darkspear Islands Reputation

Three quest types give reputation, and both sides have the same set.

A win gives three Darkspear Islands Mark of Honors and a loss gives one, so every win pays for one turn-in and three losses pay for another. The marks stack to 30. The turn-in goes to an Alliance Brigadier General or a Horde Warbringer, the officers who stand outside the battleground entrances and in the capitals. Each quest exists in a version for every bracket.

As in the Classic battlegrounds, the version with experience and money is taken once, and the plain version repeats without a limit, all the way to Exalted. The win quest may be limited to once a day: nobody has confirmed it either way.

Concerted Efforts and For Great Honor are the old quests for one mark set of every battleground. In Forever they also ask for three Darkspear Islands marks and add 150 reputation with your Darkspear Islands faction.

What Is Not Known Yet

The game data has a reputation spell for each side, which suggests that the match itself also gives reputation, as resources do in Arathi Basin. Nobody has published the amount. If the mark turn-in is the only repeatable source, Exalted takes 420 turn-ins, which is 420 wins or 1,260 losses. Every win quest and every point earned inside the match shortens that. We will update the numbers when players measure them.

Where the Darkspear Islands Quartermasters Are

• Alliance: Bryanna Embreeze. She stands on the beach behind Northwatch Hold, south of Ratchet, at 63.4, 58.8. Fly to Ratchet and walk south through the hold: its soldiers are friendly to the Alliance. There is no flight path at the camp. Brelinda McFarry, who gives the win quest, stands at the same spot.
• Horde: Creeg Bothunk. He stands at the Merchant Coast, up the hill north of the Ratchet docks, at 65.0, 34.6. Look for a half circle of troll tents: he is at its northwest edge, and Nizook Boof is next to him.
• Portals. Each camp has a portal into the battleground. You can also queue at the battlemasters in the capitals.

Darkspear Islands Rewards by Rank

Everything costs gold only. The jewelry, cloaks and weapons come in versions for levels 38, 48 and 58, and the Horde vendor on Wowhead also lists level 28 versions. The prices below are for the highest version.

Friendly

Both trinkets also exist for level 33. You can wear only one of them at a time. Major Healing and Mana Draughts are added at Honored for 10 silver.

Honored

On November 13 Blizzard corrected the mana regeneration of the Darkspear Signet to match the Alliance ring, which has 3 mana per 5 seconds. Wowhead still shows the old value of 9.

Revered

Exalted

The Exalted pieces are epic, require level 60 and have item level 65. Every armor type gets shoulders and gloves, and leather, mail and plate get two shoulder versions.

The four gloves also come in a level 50 version of item level 55 for 5 to 9 gold. The Theramore Battle Tabard and the Darkspear Battle Tabard are not in the vendor lists: Blizzard says that a short quest line at Exalted gives the tabard. Its quests are not documented yet. Exalted also completes the achievement Master of Darkspear Islands, which gives one Legacy Point.

The honor gear of the rank vendors is a separate system: see our PvP gear and honor costs guide.

Tips for the Darkspear Islands Reputation

• Start at level 30. The marks also turn into experience and honor, and the level 38 and 48 versions of the rewards are useful while you level.
• Keep the marks for this reputation. A loss still gives one mark, and three marks are one turn-in.
• Turn in before you reach 30 marks. You cannot hold more than 30, so a full stack means the next win gives you nothing.
• Queue alone if your team is random. Solo players are not matched against premade groups.
• Play the Call to Arms week. Darkspear Islands rotates as the battleground of the week with Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch. More on bonus honor is in our honor farming guide.
• Buy the Honored ring and cloak first at 58. They need only 9,000 reputation, and the weapons need Revered.

If you want the character at 60 before the grind, our WoW Forever power leveling takes it there for you.
