Alliance Vanguard and Horde Expedition
The first reputations you encounter are pretty sparse, actually. Maybe the Horde and Alliance aren’t so sure about this Death Knight thing after all. Still, it’s worth grinding to revered for the Arcanum of the Savage Gladiator if you’re planning to do any PvP. In addition, if you’re a dual wielder, the honored reward Hammer of the Alliance Vanguard/Warsong Punisher may be a relatively decent off-hand choice at level 78.

Alliance Vanguard and Horde Expedition
Much like in Burning Crusade, the first faction you encounter in Wrathwill be based on your side, and the quartermaster for either side will carry items that are mostly the same stat-wise.
At revered and level 78, the Alliance will get access to the Sawed-Off Hand Cannon, while the Horde gets the Sin’dorei Recurve Bow. These weapons edge out theCrossbow of Relentless Strikes for DPS, so if you’ve been carrying it around since 70, here’s a nice quick and dirty upgrade.

Today, we’ll be discussing some of the best quest upgrades for a Death Knight in the first few zones of Northrend, but before we do that, I’d like to mention one more gear-related thing from our tanking column last week: The Cobalt “set.”
It’s not technically a set in that it doesn’t have a name or set bonuses, but it’s 8 pieces of crafted armor, made by Blacksmiths at 375 skill and equippable at level 70, that provides tons of strength, stamina, and defense. It won’t get you to the level 70 Defense cap of 490, but it will come pretty close, close enough that if you can pick up a piece of defense jewelry or a trinket or two, you’ll be set for tanking up until the mid 70s or so.

So by now, I figure most of you are well on your way to 80, and are probably starting to ask yourself: Which reputation should I grind first? There’s tons of ways to choose, be it roleplaying who your character would align themselves with or choosing the one that’s easiest to grind. One of the most popular and most effective though, is pretty simple: Asking yourself which one has the best loot.
