Naxxramas Access: Argent Dawn Reputation Attunement
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruNaxxramas is Vanilla's final and hardest raid — Kel'Thuzad's floating necropolis above the Eastern Plaguelands. Attunement here is strictly individual and tied to Argent Dawn reputation. On WoW x5 reputation flows faster, so prepping for the "endgame" is comfortable.
Access requirement: Argent Dawn reputation
The key requirement is Honored with the Argent Dawn faction. Only then does the NPC at Light's Hope Chapel offer the attunement quest "The Dread Citadel — Naxxramas".
The higher your reputation, the cheaper the fee: 60 gold at Honored, less at Revered. Don't grind to Exalted just for the discount — paying is faster.
How to farm Argent Dawn reputation
- Killing undead in the Plaguelands — the basic but slow source.
- Argent Dawn Commission / trinket — worn to turn in fragments (Necrotic Runes, Insignias).
- Turning in undead drops to Argent Dawn officers at Light's Hope and the Chapel of the Silver Hand.
- Stratholme and other Plaguelands dungeons give lots of reputation per run — especially efficient on x5.

How much does Naxxramas attunement cost?

Does every raider need attunement?
Yes. Naxxramas is the one Vanilla raid with strictly individual attunement: the signet is character-bound, and without it the teleport to the citadel over the Eastern Plaguelands won't work.
