Just want to know how long (days/weeks) did the rep grind from tier 5 to 6 take for any of you. About to reach it tier 5 on main and wondering if there’s anything else other than chest/mushrooms/rares/rift that I can do to speed it up.
I would love to know too as well as it’s taking awhile 
I’m 8866/16000 - I have been going there every day, I do the daily quests and any rares, chests, mawshroom things that are available during the daily quests then leave - don’t have the urge to search every corner each time. I sometimes pop into the rift side to look for chests.
Some days I only get a couple hundred rep and others around 700 - random.

28 days in total from 0 rep with tier 5 to 6 taking around half of that. i didn’t optimize too hard (basically hard limit of 90 minutes a day) and i assume ~25 days would have been enough had i done so
best tip i can give is to download handynotes and use the group finder for rares

Depends how lazy or motivated you are, I would usually get 600 to 1200 rep per day depending on how RNG was with dailies but I know you can do more if you’re clearing absolutely everything including stuff in the maw, it’s not worth the time imo.

The armour upgrade is luckly (sadly?) tied not only to the Codex tier, but renown too
So even if you managed to reach the max before the renown (2/week ouch) it is basically y useless (i could be wrong tho, are there any benefits to reach C6 asidecthe corthian upgrade?)
More or less balanced I think; the time to reach the renown you hit the tier 6 mark too
Just feels an eternity + a week
Sockets, for currency that’s easier to grind than Soul Cinders.
It’s very bad rng too. Some days you get 3-4 daily quests which award catalog research tokens. But the next day you get 0 quests like that.
I reached tier 5 two days ago, but I skipped a few days completely since 9.1 came out, and I rarely find the mental strength to deal with rifts after completing the dailies. I think it’s a little too slow and boring. But I’ll get to tier 6 eventually. I just dont care about it enough to feel the urge to speedrun it. It’ll be done when it’s done.
guildie camped these and got to rank 6 a long time ago
I finished it on one character 2 weeks ago and on another a few days ago. I started from day 1 but ended up taking some breaks due to getting burned out because it was becoming tedious.
There is stuff to do in the Maw while you are in the rift. You can usually find a few anima caches but they seem to be a weekly thing because I wasn’t able to find them every day. There is a rare called Guard Orguluus who drops some relics too.
https://www.wowhead.com/guides/korthia-comprehensive-guide This link shows most of the stuff. Once you know where the chests appear you can get a decent amount of relics, but there is a bug where one of them usually disappears when you get close to it.
My best advice is to set a timer for 45 mins to an hour and just leave after that. The longer you spend there the less efficient your time spent-to-rewards gained will be.
This rep is becoming a bit of a joke.
I did the quests yesterday, looted a few chests and killed a couple of rares. Got 43 rep. I’m on track for the same kind of stuff today. Kill a rare and get 12 rep 
Geez, I’m still stuck half way through tier 4 and it’s taking forever…
That said, I slack. I do the Shaping Fate weekly spread over 2 days, mostly picking shrooms and killing rares, then may or may not actually return to Korthia depending on how my RL week goes and whether there are dungeon groups happening when I’m online. Group content always gets priority, if it’s available. And sometimes if it isn’t I just won’t play WoW 
So far doing dailies, kill rares pick up some eggs/treasures: 300-600 rep. Mostly around 300-420. Today I managed to hog in a whole 377 rep!
Seriously this is the most boring rep grind since uhmmm ye… I don’t know!
The trap are the daily quests. Don’t do them. They are maybe 10% of your total reputation you will earn. Maybe once in 2 days you get 1 quest that rewards codex rep. It is about Rares, chests, mushrooms, nests. And in the rift the daily 4 chests too.

the more i did korthia the more apparent it became that you need to be doing at least ~90% of all available rares/treasures etc daily if you want to get tier 6 in a reasonable timeframe
you need all those extra chances to loot epic research items because they will make up most of your rep gain

Prune the rep out of the game and make it acc wide. That rep alone is enough to convince players not playing alts, unless they’d accept to play sub optimally… Yeah, in a game based on building a character.
Ah.
Tbh this just makes me want to stop doing Korthia outside of the Shaping Fate weekly. It’s a very small power boost for a large effort, and I’m not convinced I care enough to put my time there.
But always check quests if there is codex reputation reward 
i only do these quests all other quests are worthless.

I do the ones with research rewards, and any that I happen to be in the area for. Otherwise yeah, I hunt rares and shrooms.
I think farming the reps required for the insane title went faster for me well so far I haven’t reached tier 6 yet cause honestly this rep feels like the slowest of all reps ever. Just can’t be bothered trying. If there’s no dailies giving any research I won’t bother staying for the day to get any rares and stuff unless something pops up before I leave.
It might be appropiate to award the title “the persistent” for this grind.
