WoW Forever Kirin Tor Reputation Guide

The Kirin Tor rule Dalaran, which is an open city in the Alterac Mountains in WoW Forever. Their reputation is an Alliance one: the quartermaster sells eight Azure recipes at Friendly and the Kirin Tor Tabard at Exalted, and nothing in between. You earn it in the City of Dalaran dungeon and from 18 quests, most of which send you into other dungeons.

Below, we list every quest with its reputation, what a dungeon run gives according to players, the cheap repeatable turn-in that works until Honored and where the two vendors stand.

Kirin Tor Reputation at a Glance

Dalaran in the southwest of the Alterac Mountains: Archmage Alvareaux (1), Archmage Celindra (2), Elizabeth Ross (3), Lan'dalock and Timear (4), Orphan Matron Aria (5)

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. According to the game data, Alliance characters start at Neutral and High Order Skyborne start at Friendly.

How to Earn Kirin Tor Reputation

There are three sources, and they work at different levels:

• The City of Dalaran dungeon, from level 28. The enemies inside give reputation. One player reported 5,770 of 6,000 in Friendly after 10 runs from Neutral, which is about 900 per run. Wowhead has no numbers per enemy, and nobody has confirmed up to which rank the kills count.
• One-time quests, from level 24 to 60. Four belong to the dungeon, nine come from the mages in Dalaran and five form a chain about an orphan. Together they give 3,170 reputation.
• More Unstable Magic, from level 48. Archmage Celindra takes 5 Mote of Unstable Magics for 150 reputation and 65 silver. Players confirm that the quest disappears at Honored.

At about 900 per run, Friendly takes 4 runs and Honored 10 without any quests. Revered would take 23 runs and Exalted 47, if the dungeon keeps giving reputation that far. That part is not confirmed.

The motes are the cheap part. They drop from casters of level 47 and higher in the level 50 dungeons and zones while you have the buff of the Arcane Censer from the first mote quest, they can be traded, and on November 14 a player reported them under 13 silver each on the auction house of a US PvP realm. Five motes cost less than the 65 silver the quest pays back, so the way from Friendly to Honored can pay for itself. The first quest, Unstable Magic, asks for 10 motes and gives 500 reputation.

Kirin Tor Quests

City of Dalaran Dungeon Quests

An Alarming Request is a required first step: without it Image of Archmage Modera offers neither the key nor the quests. Players report that it needs level 30, although the dungeon journal says 24. The whole route is in our Dalaran attunement guide.

Starving Arcane often needs a second run. The remnants spawn partly at random: players counted 4 to 7 Saturated Remnants in a full clear. Check the room with the Horde portal, where many elementals stand. Boss tactics and loot are in our City of Dalaran dungeon guide.

Quests from the Mages in Dalaran

The level column is the level you need to take the quest. In Razorfen Downs the eye can no longer be looted about 30 seconds after the first party member takes it, so loot it together. Past Due can be done alone by a class with stealth: the book lies on the table next to Arcanist Doan.

The Orphan Chain

Orphan Matron Aria (21.4, 72.6) starts a chain of five quests for level 45 that runs through the Blasted Lands and back. Each quest gives 100 reputation: The Orphan, Into the Darkness, Escaping the Shadows, A Heavy Responsibility and Thicker Than Water.

High Order Skyborne get two more quests at the end of their starting story: The Magical City of Dalaran and Exploring the Alliance, 100 reputation each.

Kirin Tor Rewards

Archmage Alvareaux is in the Violet Citadel. Enter the citadel, take the second door on the right with the two Kirin Tor banners, turn right in the Atrium of Fortune and go up the stairs: he stands in the room at the top. He sells nine items.

All eight recipes need Friendly and skill 175, bind when picked up and are listed on Wowhead for 10 gold 52 silver 63 copper each. The crafted pieces have item level 35, require level 30 and bind when equipped, so you can sell them. The other pieces of the same sets are sold for Nightclaw Druids reputation on Zephras Isle. All new recipes of the game are in our WoW Forever new recipes guide.

The Kirin Tor Tabard needs Exalted. Elizabeth Ross, the tabard vendor at 15.8, 69.0, sells it for 25 gold, and Archmage Alvareaux lists it for 26 gold 31 silver 57 copper. The quartermaster sells nothing at Honored or Revered.

Kirin Tor Reputation for the Horde

For the Horde the reputation has no use. No Horde quest gives it, and Archmage Alvareaux talks only to the Alliance. One player wrote during the beta that Horde characters gained reputation from the dungeon, and a later report says Blizzard turned that off in the beta build of October 15. Nobody has confirmed either on live servers. The Horde can still run the dungeon: its key quests start in Tarren Mill.

Tips for the Kirin Tor Reputation

• Take An Alarming Request before you go to the gate. Without it Image of Archmage Modera only says that Dalaran is closed.
• Only one player needs the key. The holder opens the sewer gate for the whole group.
• Reach Friendly in the dungeon while you level. Four runs at level 28 to 34 are enough for the recipes.
• Buy motes for the step to Honored. More Unstable Magic returns 65 silver per turn-in, and the motes are often cheaper than that.
• Pick up the Dalaran quests before each dungeon. Five of them are for dungeons you run anyway between level 34 and 52, and each gives 250 or 300 reputation.
• Keep the Arcane Censer to farm motes yourself. Unstable Magic gives it, it stays in your bags afterwards, and its two-hour buff is what lets you loot motes from casters and strong enemies.

If you want the levels for the later quests faster, our WoW Forever power leveling takes the character to 60 for you.
