InThe Burning Crusade,gaining reputation with the factions of Outland is one of the main goals, easily just as important as the leveling process, and the two are often connected. With the introduction of flying mounts, any Quartermaster with one in their inventory got some extra love, even if having yet another one had nothing to do with the endgame.
Neutral Factions
Ranking these factions according to the items they sell is a difficult task. Some of them are cosmetic rewards, like pets and toys, while others are essential for access to dungeons or for Best-in-Slot (BiS) gear. Rankings will depend more on personal preference and the character’s class.
