Which reputation’s WQs should I do purely for the rep rather than rewards or emissary quests?
In each expansion, there always tends to be at least one faction with fewer quests which holds up the exalted reputation achievement. Which one is it in BfA?
None of them really give anything special for exalted, it’s mostly just what the emissary for them gives this time.
The tortollans take the longest like Akcope pointed out here but none of them are “hard” just take longer because there’s not many world quests for them.
I agree has to be Tortollans, and for a cook myself there rewards were best as they improved my feasts.
They are difficult as very few quests. And the world quests are really repetitive so after a while you find yourself just going through the motions to get it done. If your going to buy a contact for increased rep I suggest you use it on them!
They are easiest considering the bonus rep with a WQ with them is 250 and the native rep 175, but only 4 a day spawn and there is no mission table mission giving you rep for them. Not the hardest to get rep but the hardest in the sense it takes the longest.
I’d say Tortollan as well, but I think it is because they have the least incentives. You get rep with the zone faction while doing Tortollan quests so if you are a bit structured, think for the long term or least work/most reward, Tortollan should be one of the fastest ones. If your main focus is grinding out rep / all available wq, it is one of the slower ones (and you normally prioritize champions of azeroth over tortollan if you must choose).
Honorbound, Champions of Azeroth and Tortollans as there are not really many questlines to earn rep with these factions, you will have to do WQ’s or mission table quests. Getting a contract can help you as it gives you a bit of xp.
In 8.0 it might have been true that Honorbound/7th Legion was slow, but now it ought to be Tortollans followed by Champions of Azeroth. Epzilon is correct though that if you have limited time, Tortollans are a very efficient faction since you get a lot of rep for their WQ’s and they count for the zone they’re in too.
Anyway, I was exalted with every faction when 8.1 hit. Since then I’ve racked up three paragon caches from 7th Legion and none from the others (and I’m “targeting” Tortollans, not 7th Legion). There’s just so much rep to be had from incursions, war campaign, island expedition weekly quest, warfronts, the large selection of WQ’s on Zandalar…
Tortollans and Champions of Azeroth don’t have much questlines. Tortollans do but the Champions don’t. And you need the Champions to upgrade your necklace.
If you want to grind reputation I would suggest doing those WQs every day on both continents. Also 7th Legion/Honorbound (mostly on the continent of the other faction or Assaults/Incursions that happen every day).
But if I am not mistaken the quests from the war campaign do give more reputation than before so you maybe don’t need to do all the WQs on the other continent.
But these 3 are the “hardest”. Tortollans and Champions because of the low amount of WQs and Quests.
I’d say Tortollan Seekers, with Champions of Azeroth being a close second. Both of their reputations are harder to earn because they have only a few world quests available every day. If you see their world quests, make sure you don’t skip them
I also recommend using reputation contracts for Tortollan Seekers or Champions of Azeroth. They reward an extra 10 to the reputation you’ve used the contract for from each world quest you complete, regardless of the world quest you complete. So you can use it and do any world quest you see on the map. It’s not much, but it definitely helps.
Best of luck!
Storm’s Wake is one of the Alliance factions in BfA, so it’s only natural if you haven’t done Alliance quests in BfA yet
