The Darkfuse Lowdown Coat is a transmog piece that was added to the game in The War Within expansion and became an icon the moment players unlocked the secret fifth Undermine cartel. Even in the following expansion, players still spend hours grinding reputation to add this stylish coat to their collection. So, let us tell you everything you need to know about the Darkfuse Lowdown Coat and the most efficient ways to obtain it.
The Darkfuse Lowdown Coat is one of three coat transmogs released in The War Within expansion for World of Warcraft. While the Public Defender's Coat and Breakneck Cabbie's Coat didn't gain the same popularity due to their white and green color schemes, the Darkfuse Lowdown Coat became a coveted goal for many collectors. The chance to transform your hero of Azeroth into a Matrix-style character is extremely appealing, and it costs hours of reputation grinding in the Undermine.
Yes, obtaining the Darkfuse Lowdown Coat is quite challenging, and it all starts with unlocking the secret faction. In the guide below, we'll give you all the information you need to add this spectacular chest transmog to your collection.
Your journey to the Darkfuse Lowdown Coat begins by completing the Undermine campaign and defeating Gallywix, the final boss of the Liberation of Undermine raid, on any difficulty — starting with Story Mode.
Once you've unlocked access to Darkfuse Solutions, almost everything you do in the Undermine zone will reward you with Market Research currency:
Market Research is used to purchase Boxes of Darkfuse Miscellany — the sole source of Darkfuse Solutions reputation. Each box grants 500 reputation points, and the Darkfuse Lowdown Coat only becomes available at Exalted. In total, reaching Exalted requires buying 84 boxes, costing you 8,400 Market Research. You'll also need 3,250 Resonance Crystals to purchase the coat from the faction quartermaster, Sitch Lowdown.
Typically, the SCRAP event and hunting rare enemies are the go-to methods for efficient reputation farming. However, there is one superior tactic you can use to skyrocket your Darkfuse Solutions reputation. It relies on items you can acquire after reaching Friendly reputation with the Darkfuse Solutions faction, combined with a specific mob farming spot in the Undermine zone. You can read about the exact tactic in our separate Market Research farming guide.
As for Resonance Crystals, you can obtain them by completing all sorts of open-world activities from The War Within expansion: standard quests, world quests, zone-themed events, dungeons, and more. The hardest part of farming this currency is finding an interesting series or podcast to keep you from getting bored while grinding.
Good luck hunting for your desired rewards, collector! Don’t forget to check out our Darkfuse Solutions reputation guide to learn more about the faction and its rewards, or use our Darkfuse Lowdown Coat service to share this reputation grind to our players.
