Talk:Faction token
Back to page
My original vision for this page was to document the absurd number of objects associated with the various rep grinds. Some examples of my thought process:
Darkmoon rep grind makes use of several crafted items that otherwise have uses in the game. Those items are not on the page because they have other uses and can be made from items that it is much more reasonable for a player to stockiple. Also they are tradeable, allowing you to store them on a bank alt.
The SSO dailies include things like Bloodberry and Ata'mal Armament which do not stack up because you only collect a few of them and then turn them in. You can not "over-collect" them like you can with Incendosaur Scales, but I decided to include them anyway since they take up bag space and you might find yourself carrying around 2 or 3 of them for a few days if your questing is interrupted by an instance or a raid. I consider these minor offenders.
Nethermine Flayer Hide is one of a class of rep grind turn-ins that are over-collectable, but tradeable, allowing you to store excess on a bank alt. These are medium offenders.
The major offenders are things like Osseous Agitator and Mark of Sargeras because to optimise your reputation gain you should stockpile them until you reach a certain reputation level, at which point it becomes optimal to turn them in. These can end up consuming bag slots for a long time.
Probably the oddest decision was the inclusion of the Heavy Junkbox. It certainly has another use: just loot it. But in order to turn it in to Ravenholdt you must leave one item inside. Also, they do not stack. To grind rep with those items, you must actually use 5 bag slots to carry the Heavy Junkbox to Ravenholdt. I think this is the most egregious consumption of bag slots in all the rep grinds, with the occasional exception of Twilight Trappings.

PvP
Edit
I did not research the various PvP tokens granted for participation in battlegrounds. PvP gives me ulcers, so I will let another (non-clueless) person contribute that section. WoWWiki-Thoth (talk) 22:11, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Discussion re: wikifying the page
Edit
Perhaps the page could be turned into some tables: Kainas (talk) 11:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
