Which Dungeons Grant Orgrimmar Reputation in World of Warcraft?
Dungeons and Orgrimmar Rep: The Basics
The short and direct answer to which dungeons grant Orgrimmar reputation is: no dungeons directly grant Orgrimmar reputation. Unlike some other factions in World of Warcraft (WoW), Orgrimmar does not have specific dungeons tied to its reputation grind. You won’t be able to queue for a dungeon and gain reputation with Orgrimmar just from mob kills or completing objectives inside it.
Instead, the primary way to gain Orgrimmar reputation through dungeon content is by wearing the Orgrimmar Tabard while running Burning Crusade (BC) dungeons. This allows the reputation gained within these dungeons to be redirected to the Orgrimmar faction. This method, however, has certain limitations and is not applicable to all dungeons. Understanding these mechanics is crucial for efficiently reaching Exalted with Orgrimmar.
How Tabards Work for Reputation
The Importance of Wearing a Tabard
To leverage dungeons for Orgrimmar reputation, you absolutely must equip the Orgrimmar Tabard. This is the only way to convert the standard dungeon reputation into Orgrimmar rep. Without a tabard, you’ll gain reputation with the default faction for that dungeon, not Orgrimmar. The tabard acts as a conduit, redirecting the earned reputation to your chosen city.
Where to Get the Orgrimmar Tabard
You can acquire the Orgrimmar Tabard from Garyl, an orc tabard vendor located in the Valley of Strength within Orgrimmar. The tabard is relatively inexpensive, making it an accessible method for reputation farming.
BC Dungeons: The Key to Reputation Farming
Burning Crusade dungeons are where the tabard system for city reputations is most effective. Running any BC dungeon (normal or heroic) while wearing the Orgrimmar Tabard will grant reputation with Orgrimmar in addition to any reputation you might gain within the dungeon itself.
Limits of Non-Heroic Dungeons
It is important to note that while normal BC dungeons will grant Orgrimmar reputation, they are capped at Honored. You cannot gain rep past this level in normal BC Dungeons using this method. If you wish to reach Revered and ultimately Exalted you will need to run Heroic BC dungeons.
Other Methods to Gain Orgrimmar Reputation
While dungeon runs with the tabard are effective, remember that they are not the only method to grind your reputation with Orgrimmar. Here are some additional avenues to consider:
- Questing: Many zones have quests that reward Orgrimmar reputation. These include:
- Durotar
- Azshara
- Northern Barrens
- Southern Barrens
- Stonetalon Mountains
- Twilight Highlands
- Cloth Donations: You can donate cloth to Rashona Straglash in The Drag of Orgrimmar for additional reputation.
- PvP: Engaging in Alterac Valley can also yield Orgrimmar reputation.
- World Quests: Occasionally, there are world quests that reward Orgrimmar rep.
