Ravenholdt: Neutral Reputation and Heavy Junkboxes
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruRavenholdt is a neutral assassins'-guild faction hidden in a manor in Hillsbrad Foothills. It is a niche reputation: raised almost entirely by pickpocketing heavy junkboxes, so it is most closely tied to the rogue class.
Why Grind This Reputation
- Rogue theme — Ravenholdt ties into the pickpocket craft and quests, including a chain against the hostile Syndicate faction.
- Junkbox economy — the boxes themselves hold lockboxes (opened with Lockpicking), gold, and items; a standalone income source for rogues.
- Achievements and completing your realm's reputations for collectors.
How to Gain Reputation
The key mechanic is the repeatable quest "Junkboxes Needed": you turn in Heavy Junkboxes at Ravenholdt Manor and gain reputation per box.
| Source | Reputation |
|---|---|
| Turning in Heavy Junkboxes | primary, repeatable |
| Ravenholdt / anti-Syndicate quest line | one-time |
Heavy Junkboxes are pickpocketed from humanoids around level 46+. That is why Ravenholdt is realistically farmed almost only by rogues — other classes cannot access the main box source (they can only buy boxes on the auction house).
Step-by-Step (for Rogues)
1. Level Pickpocket and find zones dense with level 46+ humanoids. 2. Steal Heavy Junkboxes in bulk, opening found lockboxes with Lockpicking along the way. 3. Bring the boxes to Ravenholdt Manor and turn them in via the repeatable quest. 4. Repeat to the desired reputation level.
Tip for Non-Rogues
If you aren't a rogue, Heavy Junkboxes can be bought on the auction house (rogues sell them for exactly this reputation), but it is expensive and slow. Ravenholdt is usually pursued on a rogue.
Faction Lore
Ravenholdt is a secret assassins' guild led by Lord Jorach Ravenholdt. From their fortified manor in Hillsbrad they wage a shadow war against the Syndicate — a criminal organization of Alterac's fallen nobility. For adventurers willing to work in the shadows, Ravenholdt offers contracts and the knowledge of the blade.
