How do I gain reputation with Knights of the Ebon Blade?
There are several ways you will be able to gain reputation with Knights of the Ebon Blade.
- If you’re a Death Knight you’ll have the option of doing four quests which give you Knights of Ebon Blade reputation. These include: Taking Back Acherus, The Battle For The Ebon Hold, The Ebon Watch, and The Light of Dawn. Note: only Death Knights can complete these quests.
- For everyone else, you can complete the normal mode daily dungeon quests. These quests reward 1 of 4 reputation tokens, one of which is Ebon Blade Commendation Badge. This badge awards +250 Knights of the Ebon Blade reputation when used.
- Finally, you’ll have the option of championing the Knights of the Ebon. To champion this faction you must wear your Tabard of the Ebon Blade while you completing other level 80 5 man dungeons. This will award you reputation with the Knights of the Ebon Blade for any mobs or bosses you kill.

To start out:

Do you want this mount? Well, you’re in the right place! Just follow this simple guide, and it’ll be yours in no time.
Contents
1. Prerequisites
2. Guide
3. End Note
Part 1 – Prerequisites
You will need to meet three requirements to properly follow this guide:
1. Wrath of the Lich King Expansion
2. A level 80 character, preferably a plate wearer or something that can prevent too much damage from being taken
3. Time and perseverance
Wrath of the Lich King is required to have an 80 character. Time and perseverance may seem “frightening” at this point, but it only took me around 4 days of 1-3 hour farming to get exalted.
Part 2 – The Guide
This section of the guide will be the most expansive, simply because it is the guide. There will be a lot of information here, but don’t let it overwhelm you. Just keep reminding yourself that once it’s done, it’s done

Titles; they are cool, they are wonderful, and in a not-inconsiderable number of cases, they are very hard to get. Almost without exception, every single title in the game is also linked to an achievement. Today we’re going to examine how you can get (or, in some cases, how it was possible to get) about half of the 19 titles currently available from dungeons and raids.
If you’re a skimmer, the two toughest achievements are actually at the tail end this week, and if you’re currently in Icecrown Citadel, there’s two currently-unobtainable titles that may interest you here (in addition to another set next week).
Argent Defender (requires A Tribute to Dedicated Insanity under special conditions)
Getting Argent Defender requires you to do Trial of the Grand Crusader on 10-man without padding the difficulty with 25-man gear. But that’s kind of misleading, due to the interaction of the 10-man and 25-man loot system in Tier 9. With Trophies of the Crusade available to both ToGC-10 and ToC-25, someone who’s been running ToGC-10 exclusively can wind up with a gear set that’s almost indistinguishable from (and in some cases, better than) a ToC-25 geared player.

This week, in the spirit of consoling people who may not necessarily have a Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth in their immediate future, I’d like to present a series of 5 achievements where at least one of the following is true:
- They’re an unusual means of making gold in a way people wouldn’t necessarily expect, or:
- It would be almost impossible not to make a pile of gold while doing them.
Now, a disclaimer; the most obvious picks here would be achievements like Got My Mind On My Money or The Bread Winner, but they’re more a record of your previous looting and questing rather than being something you really have to go for consciously. I’m on the lookout for slightly more interesting ways to grow rich from achievements that are not so directly concerned with moneymaking:

With the latest raid released with Patch 3.3, players will finally get to confront Arthas in the Icecrown Citadel. In the new 10 and 25 man raid, players can earn reputation with the Ashen Verdict faction while killing trash and bosses in the dungeon.
Like some of the previous raid dungeons before (AQ, Kara, and Hyjal), gaining reputation with this faction will award you with a ring which you can upgrade as your rep level increases. Here is what you can get as a Mage:
Those are some very, very nice rings, and you definitely want to rep up with the Ashen Verdict for it. Join any 10/25 Icecrown Citadel raid you can. If you see players doing ICC rep runs, join them. But what if you aren’t in a raiding guild, and there aren’t any rep runs going on?
Solo Farming ICC Rep
As a Mage, you have a few moves in your arsenal which will allow you to go in and farm some trash by yourself. I wouldn’t recommend you doing this as your only means to getting rep. It is not a very efficient way to get rep.
You can only pull the first two mobs, then you will have to reset the instance and do it again. Remember: You only get 5 resets per hour.
