Thorium Brotherhood Reputation Guide
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru# Thorium Brotherhood Reputation Guide
The Thorium Brotherhood is a guild of dwarven crafters from Blackrock Mountain. For blacksmiths it is a key reputation: it unlocks Dark Iron plans, fire-resist recipes and pre-raid crafting for Molten Core.
How to gain reputation
- Turn in Dark Iron artifacts (Dark Iron Residue, scraps and remnants) — dropped by Dark Iron dwarves in Blackrock Depths.
- Thorium Point quests in the Searing Gorge — starter and mid pool of points.
- Turn in Incendosaur Scales and elemental trophies from the Searing Gorge.
The main reputation rate comes from farming Blackrock Depths — collect Dark Iron trophies on every clear.
Farming route
| Source | Turn-in | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Thorium Point (Searing Gorge) | quests | Neutral → Friendly |
| Blackrock Depths | Dark Iron trophies | Friendly → Revered |
| Repeat artifact turn-ins | top-off | Revered → Exalted |
Rewards by tier
- Friendly: first weaponsmithing plans (~290–300).
- Honored: rare blacksmith recipes, including fire-resist blanks.
- Revered: Dark Iron plans — plate and weapons.
- Exalted: top blacksmithing recipes for the Molten Core run.
Blacksmiths should push Thorium Brotherhood to at least Revered — it unlocks the best pre-raid Vanilla plans and fire-resist gear for the Molten Core attunement.
Priority and tips
Thorium Brotherhood is a "profession" reputation: blacksmiths gain the most, but the gear and recipes help anyone heading into fire raids. Farming tips:
- Farm Dark Iron artifacts in BRD — the densest source of points; every Depths run yields a stack of trophies to turn in.
- Don't forget the Thorium Point quests in the Searing Gorge: they give a fast start up to Friendly.
- Blacksmiths: plan the chain so you hit Revered by your Molten Core run — that unlocks fire-resist blanks.
- Gather ore along the way: thorium and mithril farm spots overlap with the reputation zones.
