While Luna and our beloved officers (pun?) figure out what to do with all this great faction-building with guys like the Timbermaw and the Thorium Bros., I wanted to take a sec to focus on building faction with the Alliance. Up until recently, this was either no big deal (getting honored is accidental at worst) or very very important for that strange character that wants a mount he/she shouldn't be riding. (Someone like me.)

However, the recent patch notes are hinting at what may be future rewards for revered and exalted faction with the Alliance. As many high level players know, once you get past 40, the quests that grant alliance faction get less and less common. (Quests for the gnomes are always rare, it seems.) While we can, and must, help each other gain neurtral factions (furbolg grinding, dark iron farming, etc.) it isn't so clear-cut how to help those people who actually want to be important to the Alliance. (Aside from maybe morrowgrain and runecloth, but with the rewards being more individual than guild-oriented right now, it can be a little selfish to ask someone to give up their future runecloth bandages for a quick 5 points of honor out of 1 zillion.)

Something I realized as I worked on my different characters was a lot of how honor works, but more importantly, that there are some quests you just do, no matter which race you are or area you are in. What I'd like to see is people who have found quests that offer big faction bonuses, especially Alliance Faction bonuses, to post those here so that guildies can get the rep they want. I think a similar thread can be started for great quest rewards or maybe even for quests that are must-do for other reasons. The worst is to find the quest that would have rocked when you were 25, but to realize you're now 50 and it won't help you anymore (which happened to me recently.)

Naturally, I've forgotten more quests than I remember, so I hope others can quickly add to this list and lower-level players can benefit from our experience.
