I was Revered with the Cenarion Circle about 10 days after the 1.8 patch so we'd be able to summon the Abyssal Lords.  It wasn't difficult with a bit of grinding pages and cultists.

Flymo,Jan 30 2006, 02:03 PM Wrote:No it isn't - if I killed 1,000 level 60 undead I'd get 10,000 AD rep just from the scourgestones and I'd go from zero to Exalted in 4 days.&nbsp; But no-one does get Exalted with AD in 4 days, because it's impossible to kill 1,000 level 60 mobs in a day.

Unless you have found a place where regular mobs drop Corruptor's stones regularly, your numbers are off.&nbsp; And if you have, please share!

If you are talking about the minion stones (the ones most commonly dropped by nonelite mobs), you get 2.5 rep per stone (20 stones = 50 rep), and generously 1 stone per 2.5 kills means you are off by a factor of 10.&nbsp; You can supplement this a little with cauldron quests, but even so it is nowhere near as easy as you say.

Meanwhile, thott pegs the drop rate of the texts at 20%, so thats 2 rep per kill just for that.&nbsp; And there are the cultist items, 10% chance to get an item worth 3 rep.

Edit: More loot for casuals : Two Blues and Two Purples for doing a lot of quests and getting exaulted with CC

Flymo,Jan 30 2006, 11:26 PM Wrote:Fair point, I'd forgotten that scourgestones didn't always drop.&nbsp; But there are places in EPL like the Noxious Glade where the mobs drop invader's soulstones about 30% of the time, meaning you'd get about 3,000 rep from killing 1,000 of them so I'm out by a factor of 3 not 10.

Would you mind explaining how you can get 3 rep from a cultist item?

Flymo,Jan 31 2006, 01:46 AM Wrote:5 rep points, and that's for killing a level 60 elite not for the cultist items.&nbsp; Compare an undead elite which gets you 5 AD rep points for the scourgestone plus 5 more for killing it, total 10.

Quote:Perhaps oldmandennis meant the abyssal crests the templars drop and which you can turn in, but those are far too valuable to trade for rep.
