Cenarion Circle reputation guide (WoW Forever)

The Cenarion Circle are the druids holding the line at Cenarion Hold in Silithus. It's a neutral town, so Alliance and Horde do the same quests and buy from the same vendors. You start at Neutral and gain reputation by killing Twilight's Hammer cultists, handing in Encrypted Twilight Texts, summoning the Abyssal Council at the wind stones, doing Field Duty badge quests and, if the raid is open, clearing the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. The rewards are nature and fire resistance recipes for four professions, herb bags, and the badge-bought battlegear from Vargus.

Forever status: Wowhead's datamine of new and changed reputations for Forever doesn't list the Cenarion Circle as changed. It does list two new, separate factions with Cenarion ties: Cenarion Scouts and Guardians of Hyjal, described as a splinter of the Cenarion Circle (Wowhead). Blizzard hasn't said how those work or whether they affect this faction. The Ahn'Qiraj raids are not confirmed for Forever (see our raids page). Everything below is Classic Era baseline from Wowhead Classic unless it says otherwise.

Quick plan

1. Level 55+, arrive at Cenarion Hold: do the three starter chains on our Cenarion Hold quests page. They're the easiest early reputation.
2. Kill Twilight's Hammer cultists around Silithus. Each kill gives 1 reputation, and they drop Encrypted Twilight Texts. Hand in 10 to Bor Wildmane for 100 (level 57+, repeatable).
3. Do Huum Wildmane's quests: Twilight Geolords and Vyral the Vile, then meet Aurel Goldleaf.
4. Summon the Abyssal Council at the wind stones with a group. Templars, then Dukes, then Lords, handing their crests, signets and scepters to Bor.
5. Field Duty: sign up with Windcaller Kaldon and do the combat, logistics and tactical assignments for badges and reputation.
6. Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (if it's in Forever): trash and bosses give reputation all the way to Exalted.

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.

[Unconfirmed] Wowhead's faction page also lists some odd values for Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ40) mobs, for example 500 for an Eye Tentacle and 34 for the Twin Emperors. We've left them out until they're checked in game. The faction page doesn't say whether Silithus cultist kills stop counting at a certain standing.

Silithus quests and turn-ins (Classic Era baseline)

The three starter chains (Proudhorn, the Ficklespragg cousins and the Twilight Mystery) are already on our Cenarion Hold quests page, so they're not repeated here.

Farming Encrypted Twilight Texts: Wowhead's drop samples show about a 33–34% chance from Twilight Avengers, Geolords, Stonecallers and Masters, so 10 texts take roughly 30 kills. Add the 1 reputation per kill and a hand-in works out at about 130 reputation for 30 kills.

Summoning the Council: [Unconfirmed] The wind stone summons work by wearing the cult's disguise, the three-piece Twilight Trappings set, at a wind stone. Wowhead marks the Scepter quests as raid quests. Check in game before you plan a group around it.

Field Duty and badges (Classic Era baseline)

Windcaller Kaldon starts Field Duty: Alliance players get signed papers from Captain Blackanvil at the Ironforge Brigade post near Hive'Zora (quest 8507), and Horde players from Krug Skullsplit at the Orgrimmar Legion post in front of Hive'Regal (quest 8731). Each is worth 25 reputation and lets you choose a combat, logistics or tactical assignment. Wowhead warns that healing or buffing the other faction's soldiers there flags you for PvP.

Each assignment comes with a briefing item you must also hand in. Badges buy battlegear from Vargus:

Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (Classic Era baseline)

If Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj is in Forever, it's the fastest route at 60: 5 per trash kill, 50 per boss and 100 for Ossirian, plus 200 for taking his head to Commander Mar'alith in The Fall of Ossirian. Ruins loot such as rings, drapes, idols and scarabs goes to Cenarion Hold NPCs like Windcaller Yessendra and Keyl Swiftclaw for class rewards at Honored or Revered (for example Signet of Unyielding Strength and Shroud of Infinite Wisdom), and each of those quests also gives 100 reputation. Lieutenant General Andorov, who sells two Obsidian plans, is inside the Ruins. [Unconfirmed] Whether Ahn'Qiraj and its War Effort are in Forever.

Rewards by standing (Classic Era baseline)

Standing and skill requirements come from each item's Wowhead Classic page, and the vendor from its "sold by" list. Full crafting details are on our profession pages.

Tips (Classic Era baseline)

• Start with the chains. The Cenarion Hold quests and Huum's quests take you around the same Twilight camps where texts drop, so you bank texts while you quest.
• Save every text. Encrypted Twilight Texts are the steady, solo way to grind, and they keep coming as long as you kill cultists.
• Group up for wind stones. Templars, Dukes and Lords give kill reputation, a turn-in item and loot bags from Bor, and Templars also count for tactical Field Duty.
• Resistance gear for raids. Many rewards here are nature or fire resistance pieces, such as Greater Fire and Nature Resistance cloak enchants and the Sylvan, Ironvine and Bramblewood sets. [Unconfirmed] Which Forever raids need resistance gear.
• Druids: Wowhead also lists lower-level druid class quests and some Un'Goro and Felwood quests that give Cenarion Circle reputation, so you might not be starting from zero. See our Moonglade, Un'Goro Crater and Felwood guides.
