To raise Lower City reputation in TBC you run three Auchindoun dungeons in Terokkar Forest — Auchenai Crypts, Sethekk Halls and Shadow Labyrinth (Mana-Tombs pays Consortium rep instead). Until Honored, Vekax in Lower City also takes 30 Arakkoa Feathers for 250 rep; after that, Shadow Labyrinth and the Heroics carry you to Exalted.
- Faction hub: the Lower City slum district beneath the Terrace of Light in Shattrath City.
- Quartermaster: Nakodu — sells the reputation rewards.
- Main rep source: Auchenai Crypts and Sethekk Halls (Normal to Honored), Shadow Labyrinth (Normal to Exalted), all three Heroics to Exalted.
- Repeatable turn-in: 30 Arakkoa Feathers to Vekax for 250 rep, until Honored.
- To Exalted: like every faction, 42,000 total reputation from Neutral.
- Why bother: the Auchenai Key for Heroic Auchindoun at Revered, profession recipes and the Lower City Tabard.
How do you gain Lower City reputation fast?
Run Auchenai Crypts and Sethekk Halls on Normal and hand feathers to Vekax until Honored. Then farm Shadow Labyrinth on Normal, which pays rep to Exalted, until you can buy the Auchenai Key at Revered and add the Heroics.
Where is the Lower City quartermaster?
Nakodu stands in the Lower City — the ring-shaped slum district below the Terrace of Light in central Shattrath. He sells the reputation rewards (the feather turn-in is Vekax's quest), unlocking better items as you climb from Friendly through Revered to Exalted.
What do you get at Exalted with Lower City?
Honored brings the Glyph of Shadow Warding head enchant, Revered the Auchenai Key and an elixir recipe, and Exalted the Lower City Tabard and a flask recipe. If you're gearing toward TBC endgame, Lower City Exalted earns its spot on the grind list; if not, it's an optional faction you can skip.
Does heroic Auchindoun give more Lower City rep?
Yes. Heroic versions of the Auchindoun wings award noticeably more reputation per kill than normal mode, which is why players switch to heroics once they outpace what normal clears offer. You also collect Badges of Justice along the way, so heroics are the efficient home stretch to Exalted.
Short on time or stuck on the heroic grind? PewPewShop's vetted pro players can coach you through the fastest Lower City routes or run alongside you as a rent-a-pro, so you hit Exalted and grab the rewards without burning your whole week on Auchindoun.
