Hopefully they add more quests that give Cenarion Circle quests. As it is, only way to get exalted with them is to farm the Silithus quests, which can take quite awhile.

It actually doesn't take that long to grind reputation by turning in https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=20404

think it took me a good 3 hours or so, to get 15-18k reputation.

Did it as prot in fury gear, if that should matter.

They massively buffed the reputation gain from Encrypted Twilight Texts. It used to be 100, now it's 500, so for all those "Classic Players" who remember the painful grind, it's much less painful now-a-days.

Didn't this used to be Friend of Cenarius?

There are several ways you gain gain cenarion circle rep, first you can just grind twilight mobs, but they only give about 2 rep per kill. What you need is the Twilight Cultist Cowl/Mantle/Robe that they drop, once you have one of each you can summon an Abyssal Templar from a lesser wind stone. They give about ten rep and drop an "abyssal crest".

With three of these there's a quest to make a "Medallion of Station" which if you wear it with the rest of the set will let you summon a twilight duke. They're more powerful, (lvl 60 elite) but easily soloable by someone 70+. These drop "abyssal signets" which can (with a quest) be combined into a "Twilight Cultist Ring of Lordship".

This, worn with the necklace and the rest of the set, will let you summon an abyssal lord which are difficult to solo, at 70 at least, only time I fought one. These drop an abyssal scepter which can be turned in once by itself, and later in stacks of three for a ton of rep and a ton of items.

The twilight mobs also drop "Encrypted Twilight Texts" which can be turned in in stacks of ten for 500 rep. You can also get Tactical, Combat, and Logistics assignments which have you killing general silithid in the three hives around silithus, completing specific missions, and collecting supplies respectively.

There's also the normal collection of quests that are one time only and give about 500 rep each so they're worth completing. Good luck with your grinding; I finally got my title today :)

It is also worth noting that you should be on the look out for a 60 elite, the Twilight Prophet. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=15308. The Twilight Prophet also has an entourage with her, so it should be no problem whatsoever for higher level players.

The Twilight Prophet can drop anywhere between 7-10 of https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=20404.

What I do is this:

Make a macro:
/target Twilight Prophet

Go about killing the Twilight Cultists as usual, and once in a while, click the macro.

It certainly does make things easier.

Just finished gaining Cenarion Circle rep over the course of two days. I had the Cenarion Expedition rep already and was about halfway through friendly when I started grinding Twilight mobs. I spent maybe six hours total over those two days.

Some tips:

The fastest way to get to Cenarion Hold is to set your hearth there and use a Kirin Tor ring/Mage Portal/whatever to get back to Dalaran. If you cannot get back to Dalaran except by hearthstone, I recommend keeping your hearth in Dalaran and using the Dalaran portal to Caverns of Times. You can take the flight path from Gadgetzan to Cenarion Hold and it'll take about five minutes. This is much faster than flying from Darnassus.

As has been said, the Prophets are your best friends. Probably a third of my overall rep gains came from the texts they dropped. Use the ingame timer to help keep track of their respawns.

Do not vendor/drop the Twilight sets! It will become cumbersome to carry around all those sets. However, the first turn-in for the signets/scepters gives a large amount of rep. For example, there are two non-repeatable quests to turn in a single Abyssal Scepter that reward 1000 rep. The repeatable turn-in rewards 700 rep for three of them. It's worth getting at least one Abyssal Scepter for the non-repeatable quests. One Scepter requires sixteen Twilight sets and nine Large Brilliant Shards, so plan accordingly.

All in all, I found the grind easy and pretty enjoyable, as I did the remaining quests at Cenarion Hold and mixed in Alterac Valley every so often (GG 60 minute queues). If you really wanted to, you could do it all in an afternoon.

Another quick and dirty way to get to Silithus/Cenarion Hold is to have completed the "Avatar of Freya" chains in Sholozar Basin. Since many of us spend time there farming, you can take a quick trip through the "Waygate" and it will teleport you to Ungoro Crater right above Marshall's Landing. This way, its just one flight path over to CH. I got my title after completing all the quests there and turning a lot of texts, abyssal crests and abyssal staves. I would say it took about 3-4 hours each day.

I got this a couple weeks ago. I didn't raid so much in TBC, only did AQ20 a couple times so i didn't had that bonus, but this is what i did:

While i was currently going for the full Tier 0.5 set i needed to kill the Fire Duke in order to complete Three Kings of Flame. I also wanted to do Loremaster of Kalimdor pre 3.0.8 so that got me into grinding and handing in the items for the quests.

This was my ultimate way to both complete the quest, progress in Loremaster of Kalimdor (finally ended up at 721/730) and get reputation for Cenarion Circle. I killed about 1300 mobs, got 371 Texts, obtained 27 Crests, 7 Signets and 2 Scepters.

can i get this title on a level 1 ?

Comment by 335316

Trouble is not the Cenarion Circle rep, at least not for me. You can, as mentioned above, easily grind it in Silithus.
The problem is in the Cenarion Expedition. I cannot solo Steamvault, nor the Coilfang Heroics, and I have done all the quests there are. The only available one is a repeatable in the Borean Tundra, but it would take 60 handins, á 15 ears (900 ears) to reach my goal. That's a LOT of ears...

Comment by GDruid

Feral Druids check out Normal Steamvaults for rep to exalted and Coilfang Armaments.

All bosses more than easily tanked in naxx level gear, be sure to get the Chest full of goodies.

Comment by Erador

After many weeks of hard work, I finally have the title!
If you calculate the actual time it takes to grind all those mobs for rep, it isn't so much time. But when you actually do it, you notice that you get bored after like 20 minutes and have to take breaks and do other things.

Guardian of Cenarius is a pretty rare title though, I don't see many others with it! :)
Go get it now!

Took me the better part of a week just casually grinding in Silithus. Best area was just southwest of Cenarion Hold, then from there, directly west northwest. There's an elite prophet that spawns every 10 or so minutes and it drops 8-10 of the texts. Expedition rep was very easy as there are a multitude of ways. Running steamvaults and turning in coilfang is the quickest imo.

Got this achievement yesterday (I'm a druid so I felt it almost mandatory) :)

When I started, I was around Level 73 or so and (just barely) Honored with both CE and CC.

I did CE first, backtracking to Outland and doing all their quests there (mainly Blade's Edge and Netherstorm, having already done Zangarmarsh) and the DEHTA quests in Borean Tundra. Once finished, this put me into Revered. From there, I did nothing but Nesingwary Ear turn-ins with DEHTA. Initially I did the Minions of Kaw mobs (just east of Amber Ledge, where the road forks) as they were grouped tightly together. However- and this is the biggest point of advice for anyone doing this Acheievement- if you are still leveling, do not grind the Kaw mobs. Instead, go after the Northsea mobs east of Farshire. They are not as tightly grouped, but there are more of them and they respawn quickly. The reason I recommend grinding them instead? The Minions of Kaw only seem to grant about 100 or so XP per kill when you are in your mid-70's. The Northsea mobs are anywhere from 1000-2000 XP (at 76 I was usually getting about 1100 per kill). I leveled from 75 to 77 solely from grinding all the Northsea mobs. Having said this, if you are already 80, the Minions of Kaw probably will yield a faster kill rate, so if leveling isn't a concern, then by all means go after them.

CC was easy, compared to the long CE grind. Don't bother diddling around with all the other quests, just kill Twilight mobs and turns in Encrypted Texts. While you are killing them, you may as well do the first few Abyssal Crest summons, as they will yield some nice Reputation, but the repeatable ones afterward scale back to 150 each, whereas the Encrypted Text turn-ins stay at 500 all the way to Exalted. It took me maybe 3 to 4 hours of casual grinding to hit Exalted. Of course, keep your eye out for a Twilight Prophet, as they drop anywhere from 7-10 texts (ie. an instant boost of 500 rep). As for getting to Silithus, I have not yet gone to Sholazar, so I used the CoT portal in Dalaran and then mounted to Gadgetzan and caught the Flight Path.

Very happy to be done- now back to questing. All in all, not a challenging grind at all, just time consuming (mainly with CE). But, I would encourage every Druid to get it, even if just for show.

Happy grinding!

Found this achievement somehow, and the title looked quite nice so i thought wtf, its just a few hours of farming. But i was really wrong, ended up with a couple of days of farming from Friendly to Exalted with both of the factions

Gotta admit that the Circle was way easier than the Expedition Ended up with looting about 300 Encrypted Twilight Text's, including the rep gained from killing mobs (12 per mob) and the NPC's you can spawn by equipping the set they are dropping (Shoulders, head and robe) and pressing the Crystal, which spawns a npc that gives you a coin and 30 rep, when you turn in your first you get around 250 rep if i remember it right, after your first turn in you gotta donate 3 of them for 75 rep. I didnt really care about those, i just focused on getting as many Encrypted Twilight Texts As possible.

Around the 2 areas, sometimes 60 elite spawns, the Twilight Prophet which drops 7-11 Encrypted Twilight Texts.

Hitting exalted with the Expedition was way more harder than the Circle, This ended up with doing quests in Zangarmarsh, looting about 400 or 500 Coilfang Armaments in The Steamvault which gains you 75 rep per spear. Standard elites grants you 12 rep, the Boglords 24, the bosses 120. Basically just get in, clean mobs and a few bosses, out and reset instance and repeat.

Farmed with a balance druid with full resto gear, Hugie @ Sunstrider. Happy farming for you who are aiming to get this one!

Just a random clip/movie for yah. - THIS IS A MUST FOR DRUIDS.

It is possible to get this title at ANY level. Very nice for twinks with an ability to either duallog or spend days (possibly weeks) farming reputation with a higher level friend (80 prefered). Here's how.

Cenarion Circle: Incredibly easy, just time consuming. Kill Twilight Cultists in Silithus until you hit exalted.

Cenarion Expedition: Hard as hell. Until honored you can simply grind Naga in Zangarmarsh, but then comes the tricky part.
You will need many, many Ethereum Prison Keys, which randomly award reputation for a few different factions, one of them being the Cenarion Expedition. Note that these keys don't bind when picked up, so you can trade them. An easier way is, to be there with an 80 alt or friend who opens the cages, you being in a party with this 80. As long as you are in his/her party, you will get the reputation.

Now, assuming that 50% of all opened prisons will get you a friendly, reputation giving NPC, and of those friendly NPC's you will have a chance of 1/6 to get 500 reputation for the Cenarion Expedition, you will need around 800 keys to have a decent chance to achieve exalted status with the Cenarion Expedition. My calculations may be wrong, you may also end up needing many more keys. But hey, it is possible and a good twink won't be scared of horrendous numbers, right? :)

Got this title yesterday, took 3 days of semi-dedicated grinding.

Cenarion Circle only took one afternoon in Silithus but CE was the hard part.
Finishing up all the CE quests in Borean Tundra, Zangarmarsh, Blade's Edge, Terrokar and 3 in Netherstorm and the Druid Flight Form quest got me from the bottom of honoured to 10k into Revered and the rest was just steamvaults.

Good luck to everyone doing this, it's not as hard as it may seem!
