In WotLK Classic, horde and alliance are the two primary factions competing against each other for power and area; however, an update was released in May 2022 that allows Horde and Alliance players to play together. The good thing is that when they encounter a common enemy, they become one team to defeat the enemy. As the name tells, alliance vanguard is an alliance faction whose primary goal is to defeat Arthas and his army of undead monsters invading Northrend's realms.
This faction serves as the defender of the Northrend and features four factions, including the Silver Covenant, the Valiance Expedition, the Explorers' League, and the Frostborn. In this faction, you must build a good reputation by completing daily and storyline quests. Heroic dungeons are also available here to advance your reputation to a great extent. If you can't advance your reputation, this guide is here to save the day.
You can quickly increase the reputation of all four factions by following these guidelines. This guide also features information on all the faction objectives, daily quests, and rewards. A quick tip is to choose the human race, especially to earn an alliance's reputation. The biggest benefit of the human race is that you will earn ten percent additional experience points compared to other races.
What Is Alliance Vanguard?
In the Northrend region, each faction has a different operation base. None of these four factions has awards or quartermasters. Three factions are from the previous version, while one new faction is added. The headquarter of the alliance vanguard is located in howling fjord in Valgarde, as well as in the Borean tundra in Valiance keep. The Quartermaster of the alliance vanguard is also located in these two cities. Only half of the total reputation is earned by these factions, while the other half is earned through other methods.
Why Should You Go for Alliance Vanguard?
You may wonder why you should go for the alliance vanguard while other options are available. Engineers should increase their reputation with the alliance vanguard at all costs because they will get the Schematic: Mekgineer's Chopper as a reward. It is one of the first two-seater mounts in Wrath of the Lich King, and you will need it a lot. When players hit the revered, they also get many other rewards.
If you haven't got your hands-on artisan riding or expert riding till now, alliance vanguard is your best option. The most significant benefit of this alliance is that you will receive a market discount when you purchase these flying skills. To buy them, you must go to the Borean tundra and meet with flying trainers there.
How to Increase Alliance Vanguard Reputation?
Regarding reputation, the alliance vanguard differs significantly from the other available factions. The "Honor Above All Else" is the only quest that directly provides you with a reputation in the alliance, but the amount is meager here. So, to build a reputation, you need to opt for the four sub-factions. Half of the total reputation you earn from these sub-factions will be added to the alliance vanguard.
If you want to become exalted in the alliance vanguard, you will need to become exalted in any two of the four sub-factions. You can also earn a reputation by completing heroic dungeons while wearing a faction tabard. Some normal dungeons also feature reputation, but the amount is very low. Here are the methods to get a reputation through all four sub-factions.
You will get ten reputation points for completing the "Honor Above All Else" quest. All the other reputation is earned through heroic dungeons. Tabards aren't available in alliance vanguard or any of its sub-factions. Here are the four dungeons that you can complete without wearing a tabard. The best thing about these dungeons is that you can complete them on normal difficulty and still earn a good reputation.
