Unlocking and Farming Violet Eye Reputation

The Violet Eye, Karazhan's shadowy spies, start players at Neutral. No prerequisites block entry—dive into quests from Shattrath's Apprentice Tasserel (/way 75.2 33.6). Rep flows from two streams: one-time quests and endless Karazhan mob kills, scaling to Exalted.

Quests deliver ~10k rep upfront. The Neutral chain, peaking with "The New Directive" (3000 rep), propels you toward Friendly. At Honored, "Medivh's Journal" unlocks Nightbane attunement, netting another 4345 rep via boss kills like Shade of Aran.

Quest Chain	Key Quests	Total Rep
Neutral (Shattrath to Karazhan)	Arcane Disturbances, Entry Into Karazhan, The New Directive (3000)	6105
Honored (Medivh's Journal)	Medivh's Journal, The Shade of Aran, Nightbane (3000)	4345
Ring Upgrades (Friendly to Exalted)	Path of the Violet [Role] (Friendly), Down the Violet Path (Honored+), Eminence Among the Violet Eye (Exalted)	1300

Karazhan clears amplify this: non-elites yield 3 rep, elites 8-30, bosses 250 (Prince: 500). A full trash-to-Prince run bags ~9900 rep—guild pugs shine here.

Prioritize the Neutral questline for quick Friendly, then ring pick. Weekly Kara lockouts mean 3-5 clears hit Honored; pair with Medivh's chain for Revered. Guildless? Pug full clears via LFG—9900 rep per hour outpaces dailies elsewhere. Alts farm rep simultaneously for faster guild-wide Exalted crafts.

Selecting the Perfect Violet Signet

At Friendly, Archmage Leryda (/way 47.2 75.0, Deadwind Pass) offers four mutually exclusive quests. Your pick locks the upgrade track—melee DPS, caster DPS, tank, or healer. Initial ilvl 115 rings evolve to 130 at Exalted, rivaling early raid drops.

Initial vs. Exalted Ring Stats Comparison

Role	Initial Stats (ilvl 115)	Exalted Stats (ilvl 130)
Melee DPS	+19 Sta, +18 Hit, +42 AP	+28 Sta, +25 Hit, +56 AP
Caster DPS	+18 Sta, +18 Int, +12 Spell Crit, +22 SP	+24 Sta, +23 Int, +17 Spell Crit, +29 SP
Tank	294 Armor, +27 Sta, +13 Defense	392 Armor, +37 Sta, +19 Defense
Healer	+18 Sta, +18 Int, +12 Spi, +42 Heal	+24 Sta, +23 Int, +17 Spi, +55 Heal

Rogues and Warriors grab Master Assassin for hit-capped openers in Gruul's Lair. Mages/Warlocks favor Archmage's crit-scaling bursts on Karazhan trash. Prot Warriors snag Protector's defense stack for Nightbane taunts. Priests/Druids pick Restorer to pump throughput on multi-heal fights like Curator. Hybrids like Ret Paladins lean melee for Phase 1 melee priority; respec flexibility demands early role commitment, as swapping paths requires a new toon—potentially delaying BiS by weeks.

Beyond Rings: Trinkets and Vendor Treasures

"The New Directive" yields Violet Badge (ilvl 115 Trinket: +36 Sta, +45 Arcane Resist). Dismiss it as niche? Tempest Keep's Void Reaver and Sunwell's arcane storms beg to differ—pop for 20% survival edge.

FAQs on Violet Eye in TBC Classic Anniversary

How Do I Unlock Violet Eye Reputation?

Begin at Neutral automatically upon TBC Anniversary launch. Start with Apprentice Tasserel in Shattrath (/way 75.2 33.6) for "Archmage Alturus." Follow to Karazhan quests. No attunement needed beyond raid entry. Mechanism: Quest turn-ins grant immediate rep; pair with first Kara clear for momentum. Tip: Buffed reps (guild perks) shave 10-15% time—stock potions pre-queue.

What Is the Fastest Way to Farm Exalted with Violet Eye?

Quest Neutral chain (6105 rep) + 2-3 full Karazhan clears (~20k rep) hits Friendly/Honored. Unlock ring upgrades and Medivh's Journal (4345 rep + Nightbane). Repeat Kara weekly: 9900 rep/clear. Total: 4-6 weeks guilded, 8-10 solo. Structure: Prioritize trash pulls (15 avg rep/mob); extend locks via alts. Avoid: Skipping bosses—250 rep each compounds.

Which Violet Signet Is Best for Melee DPS?

Path of the Violet Assassin yields Violet Signet of the Master Assassin at Exalted (+28 Sta, +25 Hit, +56 AP). Ideal for Rogues, Warriors, Ferals—hit rating caps Phase 1 melee openers, AP rivals Gruul rings. Pick at Friendly; upgrades slot seamlessly. Alternative: Skip if dual-wielding heavies; otherwise, BiS finger until SSC.

Is the Violet Badge Trinket Worth Equipping Early?

Yes for foresight, no for immediate power. +36 Sta aids stamina checks; +45 Arcane Resist shines in Kara's Curator (arcane bombs) and foreshadows TK/Sunwell. Equip swaps: Tanks on pull, swap off cooldowns. Practical: Bank until Revered; sell price covers repairs. Risk mitigation trumps Phase 1 DPS loss.

Where Are Violet Eye Vendors and What Do They Sell?

Apprentice Darius (/way 47.0 75.6, Deadwind Pass entrance): Honored recipes (flasks, gems), Exalted enchants/patterns. Koren (inside Kara, post-Attumen): Frost resist blacksmith plans. Fly to Kara weekly—stock for guild crafts. Pro tip: Revered Mysterious Arrows/Shells enable hunter/rogue ammo superiority.

Can I Switch Violet Signet Paths After Picking One?

No—Friendly choice binds upgrades to that role forever per character. Mechanism: Quest flags prevent multi-paths. Solution: Alt for off-specs; delete/relevel if locked wrong (rare post-respec). Plan: Survey guild needs pre-pick; melee/tank paths edge Phase 1 BiS lists for Warriors/Paladins.
