The Defilers Reputation Farming Guide

Last updated on Mar 07, 2020 at 08:42 by Seksixeny 1 comment

The Defilers are a Horde Icon H Horde faction introduced in Phase 4 alongside the Arathi Basin battleground. You can increase this reputation by playing and completing Arathi Basin objectives and quests, and various gear is made available at each reputation tier.

The Alliance has its own Arathi Basin faction, and you can learn more about The League of Arathor in our guide for them.

1.

Who are the Defilers?

The Defilers are the Horde Icon H Horde faction reputation for the Arathi Basin battleground, and are composed of Forsaken warriors, who currently fight The League of Arathor for control of Arathi Highlands and its resources.

2.

Location of the Defilers

You can find a flight path, the quartermaster, and quest givers for this faction north of Hammerfall, around 73,30 in the Arathi Highlands.

3.

Gaining Reputation with the Defilers

The main way to gain reputation is by playing Arathi Basin and controlling bases, which will give you points towards winning the battleground and reputation whenever you hit certain point thresholds.

If you win, you will also receive 3 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor Icon Arathi Basin Mark of Honor, which can be turned in for additional reputation. Losing only awards 1 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor Icon Arathi Basin Mark of Honor.

There are also a few one shot quests which you can complete for a reputation boost, all given by Deathmaster Dwire.

  • The Battle for Arathi Basin! requires you to cap every point in the map except for the Farm. Being close to a point being capped counts towards completion.
  • Take Four Bases requires you to control 4 bases at the same time and is given at Friendly reputation.
  • Take Five Bases requires you to control all 5 bases at the same time and is given at Exalted reputation. While the awarded reputation is of little importance at this point, you will also get Battle Tabard of the Defilers Icon Battle Tabard of the Defilers for your display of dominance!

Also of note is For Great Honor, which requires you to turn in 3 Marks of Honor of each battleground, but gives a larger reputation boost for all battleground factions than separately turning in the marks for each individual battleground. This makes it much more efficient, overall, if you need to level up all of the reputations.

4.

Quartermaster and Rewards

Rutherford Twing is the Defilers quartermaster and sells various consumables and powerful gear, which is easily comparable to Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair equipment at Exalted. This makes Arathi Basin a very popular destination, as all you need to get your hands into this gear is a little bit of time, with zero RNG involved.
