Finally made it to 80! I was playing my rogue and druid together, it took forever.

Anyway, what factions are people going for for resto goodies?

I am currently wearing the Wyrmcrest tabard....because that's the ONLY QM I've been able to locate. lol

Fortunately for me, the Wyrmcrest have some pretty decent rewards.

Had I had any brains at all, I would have consciously searched for the QM's in every town I discovered while levelling.....

however, I have no brains.

:p

I got Kalua'ak exalted first ... for the robes and healy mace, then for the fishing pole.

I got Kirin Tor to Honored for the shoulders, and may champion them for a while for the Robes.

Just got Wyrmrest exalted today... for belt, bracers, head enchant, sandals, but ultimately for the mount.

Next comes Sons of Hodir for their shoulder inscription.

My next vanity rep will be Oracles for the chance at the green protodrake mount.

As far as gear goes, it's been my experience that I'll get a rep piece, then replace within a few dungeon runs with a drop or emblem piece that's better, so it really hasn't been a big deal to focus on one tabard rep over the other.

QMs that I know of off the top of my head:
Wyrmrest Accord - Wyrmrest temple in central Dragonblight. Championable. But you know that one already. :-)
Kirin Tor - Violet citadel, SW corner of Dalaran, second floor at the top of the stairs. Championable.
Kalua'ak - in the tuskar villages of Moaki Harbor or Kamauga. Dailies for rep.
Sons of Hodir - Lillehof, in eastern Storm Peaks. Dailies for rep.
Oracles - Geen, in central Sholazar Basin. Dailies for rep.

I went WT aswell, because I did the most questing in Dragon's Blight so my rep was already good and they had an Awesome wrist upgrade (best available pre Naxx-25). Now I am doing Argent Crusade for the best tanking glyph.

Wow Raging, (3) Exhalted reps already? Now that's dedication. Gratz.

And tks for posting the QM's. As far as I can tell, only the two provide tabards for Instance Rep?

And yes, Head Enchant and Drake from Wyrmrest..../thumbsup.

You know the funny thing... I was poking around on the PTR, and with the feral AP changes, that fishing pole gives ~1800 Feral AP in 3.0.8. No other stats though.

I was about to say I only have 2 exalted reps, but I looked on WoWJuju.com (http://www.wowjuju.com/index.php?page=6#US_Turalyon_Rhus) and saw that I do have 3. Wow. I really do need to take a break. :-)

Honestly, all I've done is to follow Jame's guides for Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord and just finished Dragonblight, then did dailies for Kalua'ak and Wyrmrest faction, and a boat load of instances.

According to WoWwiki, there are 4 championable reps: Kirin Tor, Wyrmrest Accord, Knights of the Ebon Blade, and Argent Crusade.
But really, the 5th is Alliance Vanguard/Horde Expedition, as those are the default reps that are gained if you do a lvl 80 dungeon/heroic with no tabard on.

Apparently the Argent Crusade is based out of Icecrown, and the Knights in Icecrown or Zul'Drak. Haven't met either QM though.

Yeah,Yrys, I've taken out a couple of mobs while fishing without changing weapons, just because I could. :) There's nothing quite like delivering a good ol' butt kickin' using that monster of a pole.
( Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44050) for the curious )

Yep, the Argent Crusade guy is at the first Base you encounter when you enter IceCrown (30secs flight from Dalaran). he's up on the top ledge with the bigboss man.

The Ebon Blade QM isn't visible until you do the IceCrown quests to a point where you take over the big castly thing in the north and get the FP, she's inside by the forge on the left as you go in.

Sorry for the vagueness I'm at work and can't hit any of the usual Wow sites for the proper names.

Its The Shadow Vault up in NW Icecrown for the Ebon Blade circa 36,18

And The Argent Vanguard for the Argent Crusade in the SE corner circa 85,73.

As a future Feral/Resto dual spec I've been focusing on Kirin Tor. They offer 2-3 nice Feral and Resto rep items for a few slots. I'll work on the others (for enchants??) as needed. The one thing I like about LK factions, there doesn't seem to be one that you have to get to exalted in order to compete (a la CE rep).

My only complaint about Kirin Tor rep is the only daily quests are for cooking and JC(?). I don't have either one. Which means I have to run dungeons to gain rep.
