Why ZG/MC Prep Rules TBC Phase 1?

Pre-patch boosts make ZG pugs effortless; full clears net 2,400-3,000 Zandalar Tribe rep. Exalted unlocks shoulder signets carrying BiS stats through Karazhan—+30 AP or +18 SP edges early TBC DPS/heals by 2-3%. MC attunement? Portal from Moonglade skips BRD runs, enabling sub-30min farms post-launch for tier scraps/gold.

MC Attunement: 20-Min Quest for Launch Farms

MC Attunement: Lothos Riftwaker (BRD Shadowforge /way Bar room) starts "Attunement to the Core." Core rune touch, return—unlocks Moonglade portal. Alt every toon for Phase 1 farms.

Gold farmers clear MC weekly; raiders grab T1 set bonuses early. Druid flight form skips patrols—cuts time 50% vs walking.

Pre-Patch Rep Grind: Exalted in Days

Phase 1 Rep Grind: ZG pugs 2.5k rep/clear. Yojamba quests: Bijou (75 rep + token). Aim exalted via Discord pugs—no desert.

  • Week 1: 3-4 clears → Friendly/Honored.

  • Week 2-3: Tokens + dailies → Exalted.

MC: Do attune first for future reps (Thorium Brotherhood). Lockout overlaps slow alts; stagger runs across days for parallel progress.
