Argent Dawn Reputation Guide
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru# Argent Dawn Reputation Guide
The Argent Dawn is an order of paladins and priests waging war on the Scourge across the Eastern and Western Plaguelands. It is the first reputation worth grinding at level 60: it unlocks shadow-resistance gear, shoulder enchants and — most importantly — the path into the Naxxramas raid.
How to gain reputation
The main method is turning in Scourgestones to Dawn representatives at the Plaguelands camps:
- Minion's Scourgestone — drops from weaker undead, carries you to Honored.
- Invader's Scourgestone — from Stratholme and Scholomance elites.
- Corruptor's Scourgestone — from bosses, tops you off toward Exalted.
Buy the Argent Dawn Commission trinket from the quartermaster — it raises Scourgestone drop rates and grants reputation for undead kills.
Fast farming routes
| Source | Reputation tier | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Plaguelands quests | up to Honored | starter pool |
| Stratholme clears | Honored → Revered | best rate in a group |
| Scholomance | Revered → Exalted | corruptor stones |
| Raid quest chains | top-off | at level 60 |
Rewards by tier
- Friendly: cloak and first shadow-resistance items.
- Honored: attunement access, shadow-resistance enchants.
- Revered: seals, recipes, quartermaster discounts.
- Exalted: resistance shoulder enchants, Rune of the Dawn and a trinket to finish the set.
Argent Dawn reputation (at least Honored) is required to begin the Naxxramas attunement. Plan the grind early — points accrue slowly.
Priority and tips
Argent Dawn is the #1 reputation for anyone aiming at Naxxramas, so start it immediately at level 60. A few practical tips:
- Stockpile Scourgestones. Even during regular Stratholme and Scholomance clears, hoard stones and turn them in as a batch to save dedicated runs.
- Playing a Human? The passive Diplomacy grants +10% to all reputation — a real saving on a long grind.
- Don't skip the one-time Plaguelands quests — they give large one-off chunks up to Honored, after which you switch to corruptor stones.
- Combine with farming shadow-resistance gear for Naxxramas: undead kills serve both goals at once.

FAQ
What level should I start Argent Dawn?
Ideally 58–60. Corruptor's Scourgestones drop in Stratholme and Scholomance, which are end-of-leveling dungeons.
Do I need Argent Dawn for Naxxramas?
Yes. At least Honored unlocks the attunement chain; you cannot obtain the Naxxramas key without it.
How do I speed up Scourgestone farming?
Buy the Argent Dawn Commission trinket from the quartermaster — it boosts stone drops and grants reputation per undead kill.
Does reputation decay over time?
No, reputation is permanent. A penalty only occurs from hostile actions against the faction, which does not happen here.
