Currently grinding my way to Revered with this Consortium faction and this is by far the best way to get Honored > Revered. The drop rate is around 30-40%, and i got about 100 in 1 hour.

As a Mage these guys are cake, especially because i'm Frost. Can normally 3 hit these guys because of their weak HP (about 6-7.5k).

If they are not dropping for you, then check to see that you have one of the quests, "A Heap of Ethereals", or "Another Heap of Ethereals", from Nether-Stalker Khay'ji, in Area 52.

I also suggest that you pick up one of several quests for Ethereum Prison Keys if you are farming for Zaxxis Insignias, because the keys will also drop in The Heap (but only rarely: 0.3%) if you have a quest for them, from Commander Ameer, in Protectorate Watch.

Grinding this was a goldmine. It's a 70 affliction warlocks wet dream all things considered. First off, the insignias drop from every other mob, plus you get mountains of netherweave cloth, greens, and the occasional prison key. Get out your Succubus or voidwalker and use dark pact frequently, make sure you turn off all of their mana-using spells. You can pretty much grind forever without stopping if you manage your stuff correctly.

Get out your voidwalker and go up after to open up your prisons, enchanters rejoice as the mobs drop blue bop's you can DE for lps. Again, this place rocks, even if you're exalted!

As much as I hate the comments about how easy it is to solo for any class, I would definetly recommend to team up with either a Paladin or a Mage if you plan to get these for exalted status.

I helped my friend grind the insignia's by putting looting mode on Free For All, and letting him take all insignia's and prison key's, while all the green items went to my character. This way, two people get something usefull out of the experience.

As for why recommending either a mage or paladin; I have seen all classes and players grind these things, but (Frost) mages can actually pull 10 and more of them and simply go berserk with their distance AoE, while Paladin's can pick up a large group and keep their HP high while either doing moderate AoE or just kill them one by one.

Good luck grinding these babies; the (exalted) Consortium rewards are surely worth the trouble!

Pretty easy to AoE-grind, the mobs spawn really fast and easy to pick up around 10 a time

Farmed these for a little over 30min as a destro Lock in T4/5. Picked up 60 insignias, 5 keys, 7 stacks of cloth, and assortment of greens/grays and about 12g in silver.

Very easy to kill, amazing spawn rate and well clumped for easy chain pulling.

Комментарий от Faze101

i think they changed the drop rate in the patch or something cuz ive killed like 40 mobs and i have only got 4

Комментарий от Sannu

Farmed 100 insignias. Killed 211 mobs. That's pretty close to 50% listed here.

Комментарий от 132990

Killed these for 1.5h and got 50g from silvers, boatloads of greenies 'n gray stuff, 160 insignias and 8 keys. All in all very nice place to farm rep 'n even money.

I think the flavour text on this item is some kind of pun on the fact Blizzard often has quests that require you to get an item, that any normal mob would have, yet doesn't drop every time :P

There is something else that I want your help with.

A group of ethereals, known as the Zaxxis, have cut their relationship with the Consortium and gone into business for themselves. They've even cut deals with the Sunfury blood elves. This will not be tolerated!

I infiltrated their group at the Heap to the south. But after I took out their leader, I had to escape here to Area 52.

<class>, go down there and bring back their insignias. Of course, not all wear them because they're cowards.

Could be the bolded part as well. This is the text of the initial quest to gather insignia.

Another alternative route to farm Consortium rep you can also do https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=9892 (More Obsidian Warbeads). 10 Obsidian Warbeads for 500 Consortium rep. For the Horde side the turn in guy is at Garadar (55,37).

As a rogue I found that the Ogres in Nagrand at Laughing Skull Ruins (46,23) are much easier to kill than the Zaxxis in Netherstorm because of their Energy Flare which makes it harder for me.

10 Obsidian Warbeads = 250 Consortium rep NOT 500

Комментарий от Ooglepants

Just been farming zaxxis, it appears that farming in Netherstorm is the fastest way to do it (as a level 80).
1. Head to Area 52 (flight path to it). Next to the inn, you will want to note the person to turn-in zaxxis insignias: Nether-Stalker Khay'ji
2. Head south, slightly west. They are grouped east of Manaforge B'Naar (tLoc: 31,75) Start doing circles, they respawn fast.

Things that drop:

Zaxxis Insignia
Netherweave Cloth
Green Items (lvl 65-70 roughly)
Ethereum Prison Key
Money, Junk Items to sell for money

You can turn in the Zaxxis Insignias at area 52, but you have the Prison Keys to deal with. The prereq quest chain starts with: Seek out Ameer. You take those prison keys and head to the Ethereum Prison , (tLoc: 54,46). Everytime you open a prison, something comes out. If it's friendly, it grants you 500 rep with a faction, if it fights you, you get the Ethereum Prison Tag, (and a green item and gold) which you can turn in to Commander Ameer for 250 Consortium rep.

Addendum: The other day at peak hours (evening), I farmed over a 45minutes and no prison keys dropped. This morning, at 7am server time, I got three within 20 minutes. Therefore, if you can go in the off hours, you might be better off.

Happy farming.

I'm not sure if it was a fluke, or if they changed it, but I had 12 prison keys (4 from a long time ago) and every time I opened up a prison, an unfriendly popped out and I killed them for their prison I.D. tags. Those give 250 Consortium rep for each tag.

I'm not complaining though! I didn't need any other faction's rep, so I'm kind of relieved that an npc from another faction didn't pop out. I was only out for the Consortium rep. =)

Edit: I was just thinking about it, but maybe the NPCs that give you rep for their faction only pop out if you aren't exalted with them? Just a theory =) If that is true, it would be nice since then you don't waste a key only to release an NPC from a faction that you're actually exalted with!

Комментарий от Lushurm

At the moment I believe that theory is false. I opened 6 prisons today and 5 of the 6 gave me unfriendly NPC's to kill. The 6th gave me a Cenarion Expedition NPC, so you can still find BC Faction NPC's in the prisons.

Комментарий от Tiffle

This goes inhumanly fast at 80, i farmed about 200 insignia`s in 40 minutes as an elemental shaman. Got 8 ethereal prison keys in the progress which gave me an additional 1,5k rep (2 friendlies popped out and gave me KoT rep and LC rep).

So if you don't have this faction exalted yet, don't be discouraged by the prospect of a long grind. since it isn't all that bad. It is more then doable to do this within a day.

Комментарий от Zorgnet

In farming these insignia's I decided to time out how long it takes to farm 10 insignias. On average it was about 2m30s to 3m35s. So in roughly 5 min you can farm about 20 insignias which is equal to 500 rep.

Put that on a bar and click it once to activate it.

You'll thank me later.

Yesterday I got bored, and so I decided to grind some Consortium reputation, with some help from my friend.
I was the lvl80 Protection Warrior and he the lvl80 Balance Druid.

I tried both The Heap and the etheral spot beside Manaforge Ultris.
And I can say that The Heap is by far the best spot to grind reputation.
The etherals at The Heap do have a chance to drop the Ethereum Prison Keys too.

Here is our results after 1 hour of pure farming, remeber we were 2 people:

~~--------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~

RESULTS:

303 x Zaxxis Insignia

15 x Ethereum Prison Key (Only 12 gave Consortium rep)

30 stacks x Netherweave Cloth

2 x blue drops (Schematic: Power Amplification Goggles and Tome of Conjure Water IX)

12 - 15 x green drops

90 gold from looting, selling greens and grays.

~~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~

Turning in I got 10,500 reputation after 1 hour of farming!

~~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~

Here is some tips if you decide to farm them:

Grab a friend! It makes it much faster and more fun.
Clear your bags! It takes up a lot of bag space. 40 empty spaces or more is great.
Use Argent Slave or Moll-E as your personal mailbox.
Get some Personal Vendors for quick selling.
Having a rotation for when to move, loot and kill can help, it did to us.

Hope this helps and good luck!

I am receiving 275 rep per turn in. Maybe Blizz just likes me, or they changed it - currently at Honored with Consortium.

This area is botting haven, at least on my server. Be ready to see hunters and death knights swarming over your precious mobs :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

can these be turned in til Exalted?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

they give 250 Consortium Rep per 10 Tokens

Комментарий от Allakhazam

By FAR the fastest way (other than quests) to get consortium rep. The beads in Nagrand don't drop even half as often as these. Plus all the Netherweave Cloth is definitely good.

Комментарий от Vandechoz

Not sure if a bug or just a weird string of luck, but these weren't dropping for me for some reason today, and then I killed Warp-Raider Nesaad, and suddenly they started dropping. If you're having similar bad luck, I guess try it?
