World of Warcraftboasts countless factions, from a clan of geriatric turtles to the light-sworn Argent Crusade. More often than not, though, the higher the reputation, the greater the rewards offered. The Sha’tari Skyguard, a clan of airborne warriors introduced in The Burning Crusade, is no exception.
With colorful Nether Rays at their side, the Sha’tari Skyguard serve as the sworn protectors of their capital, Shattrath City. Although it takes a bit of grinding, getting Exalted with them offers exclusive rewards; most notably the Skyguard Tabard, Nether Ray Fry pet, and even several Nether Ray mounts. With some dedication and dailies, you will be able to claim these rewards as your own.

Tips To Manage Improving Your Reputation
Before you get to work, there are a few helpful setups to make the process less painful. Firstly, head into your character’s’Reputation' tab underyour character profile, and find theSha’tari Skyguard factionunder The Burning Crusade and Shattrath City.
Checking ‘Move to Experience Bar’ will add an easily trackable bar to the bottom of your interface. If you don’t have any reputation with the faction already, it won’t show up, so just keep that in mind and track it when you’re able to.
You might notice that the quests you need aren’t visible on the map. This is because they are considered low-level or ‘trivial’ quests, but it’s an easy fix. Justclick on the magnifying glasssymbol to theleft of your mini-map,and make sure that“Trivial Quests” are checked.
Finally, there are a number ofquests in both Terokkar Forest and Blade’s Edge Mountainsthat cansignificantly increase your reputation, but they arenot required to access the main daily quests, which will most likely be the bulk of your grinding.
If you have already done these quests, or don’t feel like it, skip to the “Daily Quests” section.
There are several in-game events that can increase your reputation gain, such as the Darkmoon Faire, Pilgrim’s Bounty, Hallow’s End, and Outland Timewalking. These can save you a significant amount of time when grinding rep!

First, you will beheading to Shattrath City,which is easily accessible via portal in the Portal Room in either capital city.Once there, look for a female draenei named Yuula, just right of the ‘T’ in Terrace of Light and next to the flight master.
Grab “Threat from Above” and head to the area highlighted on the map to do some ogre hunting. Using a max-level toon will ensure that they will go down in one hit.

When you unlock these dailies,be warned that they are located in Blade’s Edge Mountains, not at the base in Terokkar,so keep that in mind when choosing to do these quests or not.
To access the Sha’tari Skyguard related quests in the area, a fair bit of questing with the ogres of the Bloodmaul clan is required. This can bestarted in either Shattrath City or Blade’s Edge Mountains.
If you choose to start inShattrath, look for a Naaru named V’eruin the portal room. It will beright above the Orgrimmar and Stormwind City portalsand will give you thequest “Speak with the Ogre.” This will guide you straight toMog’dorg the Wizened in Blade’s Edge Mountains.
Alternatively, there is an NPC,Chort, close to Mog’dorghimself that will alsostart the quest-line, giving you “The Trouble Below.“These two can be found by theCircle of Blood Arena, Mog’dorg beingon top of the east-most pillarand Chort on the ground in front of it.
From here,continue with the questsleading all the way to the first Skyguard-related quest,“Our Boy Wants To Be a Skyguard Ranger.”

Requirements

A dwarf at the base camp namedSky Sergeant Dorynwill give you this quest. Simplyuse the given Skyguard Blasting Charges to destroy the Monstrous Kaliri Eggsfound on thetops of various Arrakoa structuresnearby.
Escape From Skettis
This quest can be started in one of three locations froma caged draenei on top of the treehouse structuresfound at the top left, top right, and bottom right of Skettis. Starting the quest will free the prisoner and begin the escort portion.

Sha’tari Skyguard Repeatable Quests
There aretwo other quests that are repeatableand great sources for continuously grinding reputation:“More Shadow Dust,” “Tokens of the Descendants,” and “Terokk’s Downfall.“All are located at theSha’tari Skyguard camp in Terokkar Forest.
“More Shadow Dust”
Luckily, you don’t have to talk to anyone to receive this quest.Slaying any Arrakoa in Skettiswill have a decent chance ofdropping the Shadow Dust item.
Once you haveat least six, bring them back to Severinat the base to get150 reputationand one Elixir of Shadows. Although repeatable, 150 reputation each isn’t much. Luckily, the Elixir of Shadows will come in handy for the next two quests.
If you’re desperate, Shadow Dust can be bought on the Auction House, but averages around 50g each based on your server.
“Tokens of the Descendants”
To start this quest, simply consume an Elixir of Shadows. It will give you a buff that allows you to see the previously-hidden shadowy Arrakoa in Skettis.
Thepotion only lasts for 15 minutes, so it’s a good idea to have multiple on hand so it’s easy to re-apply.
Now, you will becollecting Time-Lost Scrolls, which drop around 50 percent of the time from these Time-Lost Arakkoa. You willneed 40 total to finish the quest,but once you have ten, you may start the quest’s second portion.
At various locations on the ground around Skettis you will findritualistic skull piles. Interact with one to use ten Time-Lost Scrolls and summon one of four enemies:Gezzarak, Karrog, Akkarai and Vakkiz.
It’s best to summon them in order so it’s easier to keep track of which ones you’ve killed.
Defeating each one will drop their respective body part, Gezzarak’s Claws, Karrog’s Spine, Akkarai’s Talons, and Vakkiz’s Scale; as well as temporarily deactivate the Skull Pile used, so you will have to find another one with the next ten Time-Lost Scrolls.
Finally, with each part in hand,return to the base and turn them in to the caged troll, Hazzik.He will give you350 reputationand the Time-Lost Offering, leading us into the finale of this mini-quest chain.
“Terokk’s Downfall”
Head to thesmall island in the middle of the laketo find a giant ritual circle. Interact with the small pile of skulls to use the Time-Lost Offering andsummon Terokk.
Defeating him will give you a whopping1,000 experiencewhen turned in to Sky Commander Adaris. While this quest is repeatable, there is a 10 to 15 minute respawn timer to summon him again.
If you’re a hunter, dismiss your petwhen defeating Terokk:if your pet kills itbefore you do, youwon’t gain additional rep.
Additional Enemy Grinding For Sha’tari Skyguard Reputation
Theenemiesin the surrounding area alsogive reputation when killed. The Skettis Kaliri give five each, the Arakkoa and Monstrous Kaliris give ten, and the Talonsworn Forest-Rager give 30. A ranged class that can take down a lot of enemies at once would be best for rapid grinding.
