The Aldor/The Scryers
It’s a good idea to look into what each side has to offer you before you make your choice – once made, you cannot reverse it without a serious time investment. You should consider your class, talents, and trade skills, when weighing each side’s rewards – don’t forget the separate vendor who offers the exclusive shoulder enchants. Also pay attention to each side’s epic exalted-level rewards.
Switching Sides
While it is possible to switch your allegiance, it’s a time-consuming process and should not be undertaken lightly.
Aldor -> Scryers If you wish to switch allegiance from Aldor to Scryers, find Arcanist Adyria in Lower City. She will offer you a repeatable quest to turn in Dampscale Basilisk Eyes, which are found from basilisks in Terokkar Forest. This will be the only way to increase your Scryer reputation until reaching neutral.Quests
Scryers -> Aldor If you wish to switch allegiance from Scryers to Aldor, find Sha’nir in Lower City. She will offer you a repeatable quest to turn in Dreadfang Venom Sacs, which are found from spiders in Terokkar Forest. This will be the only way to increase your Aldor reputation until reaching neutral.
There are many quests available from Aldor and Scryer NPCs around Outland. The first quests you will encounter are given by questgivers in Shattrath City, at the respective factions’ headquarters in Aldor Rise and the Scryers’ Tier. As you explore more of Outland, you will find additional quest hubs in Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley. In the latter zone you will find a town for each faction, each with its own questgivers, vendors, and even a flightpoint. Just be sure not to wander into the opposing faction’s town by mistake – you will likely not receive a warm welcome.
Repeatable quests – Aldor
An essential part of raising your reputation to high levels is by completing the repeatable reputation quest. For the Aldor, you can turn in Marks of Kil’jaeden and Marks of Sargeras, which drop from members of the Burning Legion in Outland. Marks of Kil’jaeden, which are found in Terokkar Forest and Nagrand, can be turned in until Honored reputation. Marks of Sargeras, which are found from higher-level members of the Burning Legion, can be turned in until exalted. They can be found in high-level regions such as Netherstorm, Shadowmoon Valley, and Blade’s Edge Mountains as well as in the instances of Shadow Labyrinth, Arcatraz, and the Mechanar. In these locations you can also collect Fel Armaments, which can be turned in for reputation as well as for Holy Dust, used to buy the Aldor shoulder enchants. The Marks and Fel Armaments can also be purchased on the Auction House, or traded to other players. Marks can be turned in to NPCs in both Shattrath City and Shadowmoon Valley, while only Ishanah, the leader of the Aldor in Shattrath City, accepts Fel Armaments.
Repeatable quests – Scryer
The repeatable quests for the Scryers require you to turn in Firewing Signets and Sunfury Signets, which drop from followers of Kael’thas in Outland. Firewing Signets, which are found in Terokkar Forest, can be used to raise your reputation to Honored. Sunfury Signets, which are found from higher-level followers of Kael’thas, can be turned in until Exalted. They can be found in the high-level regions of Shadowmoon Valley and Netherstorm, as well as in the three five-man wings of Tempest Keep. In these locations you can also collect Arcane Tomes, which can be turned in for reputation as well for Arcane Runes, used to buy the Scryer shoulder enchants. The Signets and Arcane Tomes can also be purchased on the Auction House, or traded to other players. Signets can be turned in to NPCs in both Shattrath City and Shadowmoon Valley, while only Voren’thal, leader of the Scryers in Shattrath City, accepts Arcane Tomes.
