Quick Links
With four brand-new reputations coming with the launch of World of Warcraft Dragonflight, there is a hefty amount of horizontal content to be had. The Valdrakken Accord (named after the capital city, Valdrakken) is one of these four new factions, and it essentially encapsulates all the draconic forces and their close allies into one.
Reaching max Renown with the Valdrakken Accord is definitely one of the slower processes, and is likely the slowest if you’re primarily relying on its infinitely grindable methods. But, you’ll want to put some work into this one, especially if you’re a Blacksmith or Tailor, as their Renown rewards offer many plans/patterns for those professions.
How To Gain Renown
While the following list may make it seem like there are a lot of ways to earn reputation with the Valdrakken Accord, in truth, there aren’t too many options, as many coincide with one another. Some will be elaborated on in later sections too.
Main Story Quests |
A phenomenal way to earn Renown that shouldn’t be forgotten if you’re grinding on another character. |
---|---|
Side Quests |
These help you gain a nice amount of reputation for sure, but note that the side quests that provide reputation for the Valdrakken Accord are not limited to Thaldraszus. |
World Quests |
While most world quests are on a semi-weekly rotation, the few on a daily rotation award Valdrakken Accord reputation, namely the two war mode PvP quests (100 reputation per) and the daily pet battle quest (25 reputation per). |
Obsidian Citadel Key Farm |
This grind can get you many different rewards, but it can also get you Titan Relics. When you turn in your Obsidian Keys, the strongboxes and caches you get in return have a chance to drop Titan Relics (among all the other rewards), and give you flat reputation gains for the Valdrakken Accord just for completing the quest. More on this in a following section. |
Siege on Dragonbane Keep |
This is a repeatable community event that gives decent Renown progress and some Titan Relics. This is repeatable, but you can only get an epic-quality Dragonbane Keep Strongbox once per week. Each time repeated gives you the strongbox at rare-quality, but you still get relics from it and reputation for doing the event. |
Titan Relics |
There aren’t very many ways to get this infinitely grindable currency, but more on that in the next section. |
Titan Relics
There are a few ways to get these, the most reliable source being from the aforementioned strongboxes and caches from turning in Obsidian Keys. You can also pick them up from various treasures around the world (i.e. Magic-Bound Chests and Titan Chests), as well as the weekly chests for the Trial of Flood and Trial of Elements.
Of the four main infinitely grindable items for each respective faction in Dragonflight, Titan Relics are the least common and the most difficult to obtain in multitudes. They are turned in at Sorotis in Valdrakken for 15 reputation each.
Obsidian Citadel Key Farm
Turning your Obsidian Keys into either Wrathion or Sabellian may seem like the way to go, but actually, the most efficient person to turn your keys into is Igys (as shown in the image above), the drakonid off to the side of the Obsidian Citadel who spawns Morchok. The cache Igys rewards offer a higher chance at the Titan Relics, but also, you get reputation with Wrathion, Sabellian, and the Vakldrakken Accord for each turn-in.
Though you get flat Valdrakken Accord reputation for turning keys into Wrathion and Sabellian, if you turn your keys into them, you’ll max out their reputations long before you’re done farming relics and Valdrakken Accord renown.
So, if you’re trying to be efficient, hand your keys in to Igys.
Outside turning in keys, don’t forget to do your weekly quests for Wrathion and Sabellian, as those give some nice Valdrakken Accord reputation too.
The Renown Track And Its Rewards
There are three key points to bring up before getting into the full Renown track and its rewards:
- A total of 2,500 reputation goes into each level of Renown.
- All the Valdrakken Accord Renown reward NPCs are in Valdrakken, their home city in Thaldraszus.
- The only profession recipes here that will be buyable are those of your chosen profession. So don’t go trying to purchase an Engineering schematic if you’re a Tailor because it won’t work.
