Zandalar Tribe Reputation Guide – How to Farm Rep Fast in WoW Classic

In Phase 4 of WoW Classic, the Zandalar Tribe becomes a crucial faction for players seeking powerful enchants, crafting patterns, and class-specific gear. By aligning with this faction—centered around the Zul’Gurub raid—you’ll unlock a wealth of rewards that benefit both raiding and profession progression. This guide covers everything: where to start, how to gain reputation, and what to prioritize for each class and profession.

Where to Start: Yojamba Isle

The Zandalar Tribe is based on Yojamba Isle, a small island off the western coast of Stranglethorn Vale. There is no direct flight path, so players must travel manually.

• For Horde: Fly to Grom’gol Base Camp and head west across the sea.
• For Alliance: Fly to Darkshire in Duskwood, then ride south and swim across.

Key NPCs on Yojamba Isle include:

• Exzhal (gives initial quests)
• Vinchaxa (handles repeatable turn-ins)
• Rin’wosho the Trader (sells rewards)
• Zanza the Restless (offers enchants, found inside Zul’Gurub)

How to Gain Reputation with the Zandalar Tribe

Your main source of reputation comes from participating in the Zul’Gurub raid and turning in specific drops. Reputation can be earned all the way to Exalted, making this one of the few factions with no rep cap per week.

Zul’Gurub Raid Kill Reputation

Running Zul’Gurub regularly yields significant rep through trash and boss kills.

• Trash mobs: 3–5 reputation each
• Speaker mobs: 15 reputation
• Edge of Madness bosses: 25 reputation
• High Priests & Gahz’ranka: 100 reputation
• Mandokir & Jin’do: 200 reputation
• Hakkar (final boss): 400 reputation

A full ZG clear provides around 2,400–3,000 reputation, and the raid resets every 3 days, allowing frequent progression.

Coin Turn-ins for Bonus Reputation

Throughout Zul’Gurub, you’ll loot special coins that can be turned in to Vinchaxa in sets of three. These coin sets are associated with troll tribes and offer a consistent source of repeatable reputation.

• Zulian, Razzashi, and Hakkari Coins
• Sandfury, Skullsplitter, and Bloodscalp Coins
• Gurubashi, Vilebranch, and Witherbark Coins

Each full set grants:

• 25 reputation with the Zandalar Tribe
• 1 Zandalar Honor Token (used for rewards or +50 bonus rep)

These coins are not soulbound, so buying from the Auction House is a valid shortcut.

Bijou Turn-ins and Zanza Tokens

Bijous are colorful gems that drop from ZG mobs. These can be destroyed at the Altar of Zanza, next to Zanza the Restless, for reputation and Zandalar Honor Tokens.

• Complete the initial quest A Bijou for Zanza to unlock the system (grants 150 rep).
• Destroying a bijou at the altar grants:
  • 75 reputation
  • 1 Zandalar Honor Token (can be used again for 50 more rep or item purchases)

Types of bijous include: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Orange.

Zandalar Reputation Rewards by Tier

The rewards scale based on your reputation standing with the Tribe. Most items are sold for gold or honor tokens, with gear enhancements and crafting recipes tied to each rep milestone.

Class-Specific Head and Leg Enchants

Class enchant quests are available at Friendly reputation and require:

• 1x Primal Hakkari Idol
• 1x Punctured Voodoo Doll

Each class has a specific quest line:

These enchants are vendor-exchange quests done inside Zul’Gurub, usually after boss kills.

Zul’Gurub Class Armor Sets and Reputation Unlocks

Each class has a 5-piece gear set available via Zul’Gurub bosses and rep:

Unlock Tiers by Reputation:

• Neutral – Trinket (from Edge of Madness)
• Friendly – Bracers, Necklace (upgradeable)
• Honored – Shoulders or Belt
• Revered – Chest or second Shoulders
• Exalted – Final necklace upgrade (BiS for many specs)

Edge of Madness Boss Calendar (Trinket Quests)

The four Edge of Madness bosses rotate weekly inside Zul’Gurub and are tied to class-specific trinkets. You’ll need to defeat each boss and complete its associated quest to earn your class trinket.

• Week 1: Gri’lek
• Week 2: Renataki
• Week 3: Hazza’rah
• Week 4: Wushoolay

Since only one boss appears per lockout, you must wait at least 4 weeks to complete all quests. This content is best tackled by guild-coordinated runs.

Tips to Maximize Reputation Gains

Grinding Zandalar Tribe reputation efficiently takes planning. Here are best practices:

• Always full-clear ZG with guild groups every 3-day reset.
• Buy coins and bijous from the Auction House when prices are reasonable.
• Destroy bijous immediately at the Altar to convert them into tokens and rep.
• Save extra tokens for the +50 bonus rep if you’re close to the next tier.
• Plan Edge of Madness runs weekly to finish your trinket as early as possible.

Final Thoughts

The Zandalar Tribe reputation is a reward-heavy grind that touches every class and profession in WoW Classic. Whether you want best-in-slot shoulder enchants, exclusive crafting recipes, or rare trinkets and set pieces, this faction provides it all.

With proper planning and group effort, hitting Exalted and fully unlocking Zandalar’s potential is not just possible—it’s highly rewarding.
