Orgrimmar

Grommash Hold, Warchief Thrall's seat of power in Orgrimmar

Orgrimmar is the capital city of the orcs and thus the nominal capital of the Horde. The leader of the Horde, Warchief Thrall, holds court here in the Valley of Wisdom. Rage Fire Chasm, the first Horde instance is also located here in the Valley of Shadow. Gaining reputation with Orgrimmar has the usual benefits:

  • At Honored reputation, receive 10% savings at (most) orcish vendors
  • At Exalted reputation, gain access to orcish cross-faction mounts - allows non-orcs to purchase wolf mounts

Orcish reputation comes mostly from quests given by orcish questgivers. Some good areas for such quests:

  • Durotar
  • Orgrimmar
  • The Barrens (The Crossroads in particular)
  • Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale

Completing quests for the other Horde team factions usually yields reputation spillover of 1/4 the main reputation reward. As of patch 1.7, reputation spillover ceases for a faction in the middle of Exalted (spillover continues for other factions until they reach this point).

Repeatable Reputation Quests for Orgrimmar

There is one RRQ for Orgrimmar, "[24] Chen's Empty Keg", which is the last step of a chain begun with the item "Chen's Empty Keg", which may drop randomly off Barrens mobs or be found outside several of the small settlements (Grom'dol Farm, Camp Taurajo, Sludge Pit). It is turned in to Brewmaster Drohn in Ratchet. This last quest has you collect 5 Lightning Glands (from Stormhides), 1 Thunderhawk Saliva (from Greater Thunderhawks), and 1 Kodo Liver (from any Barrens' kodo) to get a flask of Trogg Ale. Stormhides and Thunderhawks may both be found near the Southern Gold Road just south of the road to Duskwallow Marsh. Each repetition yields 75 Orgrimmar rep and 18.75 spillover rep to the rest of the Horde. Note that this is the only main team RRQ that spills over. Note that the drop rate for the Lightning Glands is particularly painful, so this is not an efficient way of gaining all-Horde faction.

For higher levels, the setup quests for the Frostwolf (FW) Clan in Alterac Valley yield Orgrimmar (OR) (and Horde spillover) rep as well. These need to be repeated a number of times for each BG instance in order to trigger certain BG events. These include:

Orgrimmar also participates in the "Cloth Quests", with a repeatable "Additional Runecloth" to Rashona Straglash, the Orgrimmar Cloth Quartermaster, found near the Tailoring trainer in Magar's Cloth Goods in the Drag. This yields 75 reputation points for every stack of 20 Runecloth delivered. This quest is available after completing the other cloth quests.
