Every week you can gain about 6500 reputation with one of the four main cartels. 6000 comes from regular weekly activitities and 500 from bringing your C.H.E.T.T. list to the cartel quartermaster.
To get exalted with all four cartels you need to farm 156k of rep, meaning it’ll take 24 weeks to get exalted with each faction. That is if you do all activities every single week. Season 1 was 25 weeks long.
Luckily there is something like C.H.E.T.T. Cards. These (only) drop from goblin enemies in Delves. You need 40 of them to create a new C.H.E.T.T. List. At the current rate I’m not even getting 40 per week. The extra reputation you get is 500 if you finally get one.
It’s a hell of a grind the get a louzy bit of rep. I feel the C.H.E.T.T. Cards needed for a new List should be way lower. Not 40 but 4 and allow us to do one every day. This will add 3000 reputation per week to the total you can farm that week. Which still isn’t a lot. So I’d also like to see the reputation increased to 1000.
If they gave 1000 rep and you could do 7 per week, the total rep per week is 13k. Meaning it will take 12 weeks instead of 24 to farm the rep for all cartels.
It feels bad you almost can not miss a week to be able to grind these reps out.
How do you get 6k a week? With rares? I only managed 5k or something.
I agree with you, they need to bump these numbers up. I assume you cant skip a week either, so you have to grind it every single week otherwise you fall behind. Really annoying that after 20 years we still have to do chores for months.
We don’t need to make this so complicated or anything. Just nerf the 4 cartels rep. This cannot be serious. Half a year to hit max if you do everything every week is insane.
If the numbers are right , just lol … 24 weeks … And that is grinding everything out like dailies , ets every single week .
Even in vanilla and TBC ,the most grindy reps would take you max two months , of semi casual grinding , killing your 100 daily furbolgs or doing your dailies from time to time . You could complete most in a month or less with heavy duty grinding .
And now we are talking about 6 months , with dedicated playing .
The interval should be reduced to 2-3 months for casuals and about a month for the people who really put their gridding boots on .
I’m just saying , keeping yourself motivated to grind the same stuff for 6 months straight on a side activity , to get mostly useless stuff is just too hard .
To be honest the game don’t have the longevity to keep people subbing 6 months straight. If you do Hc raid get some decent m+ rating and complete the patch zone you are basically finished with the patch and that is like 1 month max. Nobody will sub for 6 months after this just to log in every wednesday to do the weeklies in undermine.
I think they should really let us get rep again for doing the story on alts. Maybe limit it by weeks , like week 1 >>> 1 char . Week 10 >>> 5 chars ets .
Also we should be getting rep for doing theme appropriate dungeons , raids and delves .
At least this way people will get alternative ways to grind and level their alts , than just botting dailies non stop for 6 months .
