Argent Dawn reputation guide (WoW Forever)

The Argent Dawn fight the Scourge across the Plaguelands, and they take recruits from both factions. They have three camps: Chillwind Camp in south Western Plaguelands (Alliance), the Bulwark on the Tirisfal Glades border (Horde) and their main base, Light's Hope Chapel in east Eastern Plaguelands, which is open to everyone. You start at Neutral. Reputation comes from killing undead, from Scourgestone turn-ins, from the Western Plaguelands cauldrons and from a long list of Plaguelands, Stratholme and Scholomance quests. The rewards are resistance shoulder enchants, Honored and Revered recipes, buff food and, in the original game, the reputation gate for Naxxramas.

Forever status: Wowhead's datamine of new and changed reputations for Forever doesn't list the Argent Dawn (Wowhead), and Blizzard hasn't said anything about its quests or rewards changing. Naxxramas is not confirmed for Forever (see our raids page), so the Naxxramas-era quests near the end of this page may not exist at launch. Everything on this page is Classic Era baseline from Wowhead Classic unless it says otherwise.

Quick plan

1. Level 50+, any Argent camp: take Argent Dawn Commission (10 reputation) and wear the Argent Dawn Commission trinket. Without it (or a Seal or Rune of the Dawn) you won't loot Scourgestones.
2. Neutral to Friendly: quest and kill undead in both Plaguelands. Do the four Western Plaguelands cauldron chains on the way.
3. Friendly to Honored: move to Plaguelands elites and run Stratholme and Scholomance, doing their Argent Dawn quests.
4. Save every Scourgestone. The Wowhead guide's advice is to bank them and hand them in once kills and most quests stop paying, because turn-ins count all the way to Exalted.
5. Revered and Exalted: keep 10 and then 25 Argent Dawn Valor Tokens for the shoulder enchant quests instead of using them.

Reputation sources (Classic Era baseline)

Standings (Classic Era baseline): you start at Neutral. Friendly takes 3,000, Honored 6,000, Revered 12,000 and Exalted 21,000, so it's 42,000 reputation from Neutral to Exalted.

The kill caps above come from the Wowhead reputation guide, not from the faction page, which only lists the amount per kill. [Unconfirmed] Whether Forever keeps the same caps and amounts.

Scourgestones and the Commission (Classic Era baseline)

Each camp has an Argent Officer (or the Duke) who gives the Commission and takes Scourgestones. All of these need level 50, can be shared, and every turn-in is repeatable for 25 reputation and one Valor Token.

The drop rates are Wowhead's Classic Era samples, which include players who weren't wearing a Commission, so treat them as rough.

Seal of the Dawn and Rune of the Dawn

The Active Agent (level 60, needs 55) is a Stratholme quest from Betina Bigglezink at Light's Hope Chapel (81.4, 59.4). You search the ziggurats in the undead side of Stratholme for Scourge Data. It gives 100 reputation and a choice of the Seal of the Dawn (+81 attack power against undead) or the Rune of the Dawn (up to +48 spell damage against undead). Both replace the Commission for collecting Scourgestones, and Betina replaces a lost one. Her earlier quest The Flesh Does Not Lie (20 Plagued Flesh Samples from Stratholme) is also worth 100. Our Stratholme quests page has the rest of the dungeon's quests.

The Western Plaguelands cauldrons (Classic Era baseline)

The Scourge Cauldrons starts the chain for the Alliance (Commander Ashlam Valorfist, Chillwind Camp) and the Horde version starts with High Executor Derrington at the Bulwark. For each of the four farms you kill the Cauldron Lord for its key, report back, then open the cauldron. Wowhead gives Argent Dawn reputation for each step: 100 for the "Target" quest, 50 for reporting back and 25 for the cauldron itself (for Felstone Field: 5216, 5217, 5218). Mission Accomplished! at the end is worth 200. Each Cauldron Lord kill is also worth 15.

The cauldron quests themselves are repeatable for 25 reputation each. You need a Vitreous Focuser from Alchemist Arbington (Chillwind Camp) or Apothecary Dithers (the Bulwark) to loot the reagents from Western Plaguelands undead, plus an Arcane Quickener bought from the same NPC. The Wowhead guide says a quickener costs 40 silver and decays after 30 minutes, so buy it just before you go.

The Horde camp at the Bulwark isn't on this map because it sits over the border in Tirisfal Glades: Argent Officer Garush is at 83.2, 68.4, Argent Quartermaster Hasana at 83.2, 68.2 and Apothecary Dithers at 83.2, 69.2.

Plaguelands and dungeon quests (Classic Era baseline)

These one-off quests give Argent Dawn reputation on Wowhead Classic. The zone and dungeon pages cover how to do them, so here's just the reputation.

The Tirion Fordring chain runs through both Plaguelands too; see our Tirion Fordring quest guide for it step by step.

Rewards from the quartermasters (Classic Era baseline)

There are three quartermasters, one per camp. Wowhead's sell lists for all three show the same Classic items:

Standings and skill levels come from the Wowhead item pages and sell lists. Wowhead shows slightly different prices at each quartermaster, so we've left prices out.

Mantles of the Dawn

At Revered, Mantles of the Dawn takes 10 Valor Tokens and unlocks the five single-resistance mantles for purchase (100 reputation). At Exalted, Chromatic Mantle of the Dawn takes 25 tokens, gives you one Chromatic Mantle and unlocks buying more (150 reputation). Both quests start and end with Breechlock at Light's Hope. That's why you shouldn't right-click every token you get.

Wowhead's sell lists also include items bought with currencies from a different game version (and a Valor Token bought with Necrotic Runes from the Scourge Invasion event). We've left those items out. [Unconfirmed] Whether the Scourge Invasion event runs in Forever.

Naxxramas-era reputation (Classic Era baseline; Naxxramas not confirmed for Forever)

In Classic Era, these arrived with Naxxramas and are all at Light's Hope Chapel. [Unconfirmed] Whether any of them are in Forever.

• Attunement: The Dread Citadel - Naxxramas from Archmage Angela Dosantos (81.4, 58.2) needs level 60 and at least Honored. At Honored it costs 60 gold, 5 Arcane Crystals, 2 Nexus Crystals and a Righteous Orb; at Revered 30 gold, 2 Arcane Crystals and a Nexus Crystal; at Exalted nothing. The Revered and Exalted versions give 200 reputation. Our raid attunement guide covers the other raids.
• Insignia turn-ins: Light's Hope NPCs take 30 of a raw material (for example Core of Elements or Dark Iron Scraps) for an Insignia. The first of each type gives 200 reputation, then 10 per repeat. Dispatch Commander Metz (81, 57.4) swaps a Valor Token for a Sealed Craftsman's Writ, and each writ quest gives 50.
• Frost resistance recipes: Craftsman Wilhelm (81, 59.4) gives Glacial, Polar, Icy Scale and Icebane recipes by quest. The item pages put the gloves, cloak and Glacial Vest at Revered and the Polar Tunic, Icy Scale Breastplate and Icebane Breastplate at Exalted. The bracer recipes need Hydraxian Waterlords reputation instead.

Tips (Classic Era baseline)

• Wear the Commission everywhere in the Plaguelands. Scourgestones only drop while you have it (or a Seal or Rune of the Dawn) equipped, so put it on at level 50 and swap it in before every undead pull.
• Bank Scourgestones until Revered. They stack to 250 and pay out all the way to Exalted, while kills and many quests stop paying earlier.
• Corruptor's stones are the big ones. One stone is a whole turn-in, and Stratholme and Scholomance bosses drop them most of the time on Wowhead's samples.
• Do the cauldrons once at least. The four chains add up to several hundred reputation before you ever repeat a cauldron.
• Keep 35 Valor Tokens. 10 for Mantles of the Dawn at Revered and 25 for the Chromatic Mantle at Exalted.
