Hydraxian Waterlords Reputation Guide

Section: Reputations 2 min read Vanilla 1.12.1 · x5 Updated 18.08.2026

The Hydraxian Waterlords are water elementals opposed to Ragnaros. This reputation is tied to the Molten Core raid: only with it can you douse boss runes and ultimately summon Majordomo Executus and Ragnaros himself.

How to gain reputation

  • Dousing boss runes in Molten Core with Aqual Quintessence — each doused altar grants reputation.
  • The quest chain on Dark Iron Isle (Azshara) to obtain the Quintessence.
  • Killing Molten Core bosses grants points throughout the run.

Aqual Quintessence is single-use — bring a supply each run until you unlock the reusable Eternal Quintessence at Exalted.

Rewards by tier

  • Friendly → Revered: access to summoning Majordomo and Ragnaros, select items.
  • Exalted: Eternal Quintessence — a reusable rune-dousing item that removes the need to farm the single-use version.
Совет

Without dousing runes you cannot summon the final bosses of Molten Core. So Hydraxian reputation progresses naturally alongside your raid clears.

Priority and tips

Hydraxian Waterlords is a reputation built into Molten Core progression. You don't farm it separately: it grows as you clear. Tips:

  • Keep a supply of Aqual Quintessence until Exalted — without it you cannot douse runes or summon the final bosses.
  • Douse runes every run: it is both raid progress and reputation points at once.
  • Do the Dark Iron Isle chain ahead of time so you don't stall the raid on run day.
  • Exalted = Eternal Quintessence: a reusable item that ends the need to farm the single-use version.
