That one goes fairly quick, thankfully :-)

Good to hear, I'm having a look at it myself, although not sure how
much chance I have there, it'll be interesting to see anyway,
especially having now done modern Hyjal as a quest zone!

Level a scribe is your best bet, since that way you'll make back most
of the herb cost by selling the glyphs you can make from the white
inks, while turning green inks into cards. I eventually made a massive
profit from Darkmoon, took me 4-6 months or so, but I had a load of
odd cards left over, and selling them, plus loads of glyphs, and a ton
of trinkets, made me pretty rich. Don't overlook the lower lvl cards;
they only give 25 rep per handin but are far cheaper to make! And you
can sell the rewards for a bit.

Yep, in the past you could start getting the boxes around lvl 55,
farming the likes of Tyr's Hand, but given all the lvl changes lately
I'd say that LBRS is by far the best route to take. Dead easy at lvl
60, I had no aggro issues and got it done in a couple of weeks once I
got going, but getting the rogue alt to 60 took a while. You can buy
the boxes, but they're not auctionable (whichis why I couldn't use my
lvl 80 rogue and just transfer them over the neutral AH), so you'd
have to find a rogue to trade pricateloy with - be warned most seem to
charge 10g per box, and you'll need 1400 of them (well, less if you
have guild perks in place). Getting them myself was definitely the
best way for me.

Should be alright, yes, Baron Geddon is the only tough one, since his
falldmg hurts! I reckon I could solo all of them except him now
without much problem, I'll have to get around to trying that again
soon, since I'm 19 weeks off exalted.

Yep, see the discussions I've had with Urbin lately :-) I'm 4k into
honoured atm, up to friendly is very easily soloable just killing the
11 mobs before first boss and resetting over and over. First 4 bosses
should be easily enough soloable (each drops an item that hands in for
500 rep), rest will require help - you may find trash tricky though,
some have a rather nasty ability that knocks you in the air for huge
falldmg. Also AQ20 gives 300 or so rep, not much, but it's something
(and handy if you want Cenarion rep, which my druid alt still does - I
run most these places with my druid tanking and priest on follow).

And even without wait times both take months, since they're very very
slow on repgains. I've pretty much given up on them, partway into
honoured on both and it would take me months of nonstop pvp to get
further.

Worth waiting on this one - before 4.0, Blizz promised they'd make
Booty Bay Bruisers give rep to exalted. They haven't made good on that
promise yet, but IF they ever do it, then it'll be a lot easier. I'm
waiting to see what happens there before doing my low lvl zone quest
achievements, since right now I'm 11999 honoured with Bloodsail and
max exalted with all 4 goblin towns - I'd love to get exalted with all
of them, so leaving options open on repgaining until things change.

Hmm, if that's absolutely all you have left after 50, it'll be tricky.
I'd say Og'rila, Ravenholdt and Darkmoon are your least painful bets,
but then those are the 3 I have atm (which will put me at 53 when I
finish the Cataclysm reps), beyond that I'm in a similar boat, looking
at Brood of Nozdormu and Hydraxian Waterlords for my final 2, but
frankly hoping Blizz fix the achievement to make it a GUILD effort
instead of a solo one! Since if they do, all I need to do is get Aldor
and Frenzyheart on my druid (priest is Scryers/Oracles), sorted ;-)
