I am now at 15000+ rep with AD. Well beyond the halfway point to exaulted. It has been some of the most mierable, mind-numbing grinding of all time. I have learned a few things, though:

1.) I can take 8 of those 51-54 undead guys in WPL at a time. It took me a while to learn the routine, but I can finish off a bunch of them now without dropping below 30% health. It's pretty mana-intensive if you don't control your seals/judgements correctly, but totally doable.

2.) The best place to grind from 50-60 is the same as the best place to get AD rep. That is WPL. No question, no contest. Let's just ignore the fact that you're gaining AD rep galore by grinding there. The fantastic amounts of runcloth that drop make it worthwhile. Plus, you're near Scholo/Strat which is where you'll be spending a lot of (training) time.

3.) Blizzard hates me. That's right. It's not enough that I pay them each month. They want to destroy my life. They want my wife to be angry with me for incessantly talking about the game, they want me to suffer from lack of sleep, they want me to squander my time at work posting on my guild forums... And, to top it off, they want me grinding skellies all the live-long day. Bastards.

Anyway, I have nearly enough insignias from each faction to get all the nifty stuff I want and almost enough rep to get it for the best price possible. Thank you, Blizzard, you soul-crushing vampires.

I am both impressed and disturbed by your achievement. I have decided not to work towards AD anymore. This is mostly because our ZG run alerted me to the new reputation game I am supposed to be playing, with the Zandalar Tribe. I am not going to invest the 40 hours required to grind to Exalted. No way.

Props to you though.

That's right. Done. I am now exalted with AD. I dropped my 54 marks last night on the necklace, and I'm only 9 marks away from the talisman. I'll collect my 25 valor tokens during our regular Scholo runs, get the Chromatic Mantle, then I'll turn off the AD commission for this toon.

What a miserable grind it has been. I hope that my neglecting to wear the commission will help some of you to make it through faster.
