Guide:
First move out to K3, find the goblin called Gretchen Fizzlespark, take the quest [They took our man],which is the start of your epic quest chain to get Sons of Hodir to exalted.
Then the quest chain lies as this:
Leave No Goblin Behind
The Crone's Bargain
Mildred the Cruel
Discipline
Examples to be Made
A Certain Prisoner
A Change of Scenery
Is That Your Goblin?
The Hyldsmeet
Taking on All Challengers
You'll Need a Bear
Going Bearback
Cold Hearted
Deemed Worthy
Making a Harness
The Last of Her Kind
The Warm-Up
Into the Pit
Prepare for Glory
Lok'lira's Parting Gift
The Drakkensryd WARNING: FIRST BUG
Sibling Rivalry
Mending Fences WARNING:SECOND BUG
The Refiner's Fire(Note:This quest is started by Slag Covered Metal ,which is dropped by the Stormforged Iron Giants)
A Spark of Hope WARNING:TURN THIS IN AFTER YOU COMPLETE [Mending Fences] ( If you complete this one and mending fences you should be honored with Sons of Hodir now)
Forging an Alliance
You Can't Miss Him
Battling the Elements
A New Beginning
Veranus
Territorial Trespass WARNING:THIRD BUG
Krolmir, Hammer of Storms WARNING:FOURTH BUG
First Bug: After Lok'lira's Parting Gift, you will sometimes find that u cant take the next quest [The Drakkensryd],wait for a server restart and you will be able to take the quest after restart( it work for me,but dunno if it will work every time)
Second Bug:If you did and completed [A Spark of Hope] before [Mending Fences]is completed,you are partly doomed, as you wont be able to see the mobs you required to kill anymore. In that case, find someone which havent complete[A Spark of Hope], Group up with him, ask him to kill the mobs for you WHILE you stay in the storm peaks area, remember you won't see him attacking those mobs as both of you are in different phase,communication is required so you are near to hia location and can get credits while you stay in storm peaks area(that mean not in the area of the lake or the anvil) and he kill the mobs.
Third Bug: This is suppose to be a event only quest,but since it is partly bugged, you will have to solo a 630K hp drake, if you cant solo it,bring a friend(I took 5 minute to kill it as i am in tank spec and i dunno it is bugged :( ).
Fourth Bug: Event does not start, I still haven't find ways to complete it, if anyone found one tell me :(
After you get mending fences and A spark of hope completed, you will be able to get Sons of Hodir to Honoured, There are many side quests for Sons of Hodir now, you can do them to unlock more daily quests.
However, you will mainly want to use 2 things to get your reputation to exalted, Either:
Everfrost Chip
Relic of Ulduar
Relic of Ulduar for every 10 of them you can turn in for 650 reputation, for Everfrost Chip you can get 350 repuation per piece
Everfrost chip is hard and rare to get,but the relic of ulduar are not,which will be the main way to grind to exalted in server like Loraderon(1X server)
Get yourself to thunderfall,which is located north east of Dun Niffelem, the lake with lots of frosted giant and dwarf,kill all ghost you see,they drop 1 relic per mob,if you got good aoe, you can solo them easily and grind lots of relic and turn them in for easy reputation(which is the way I use :cool: )
Eventually you will grind it to exalted, which took me less then 4 hour to grind from honoured to exalted, HAPPY HUNTING! :D
Great guide, nicely condensed and very helpful. Tip for the second bug is smart.
I want to add a bug, closely related to the second bug: if u have done the slag covered metal quest before cold hearted u wont be able to do this quest too. I asked a gm to summon me in the right phase (3 times because u need to get 3 dragons each loaded with prisoners :p thx to u GM <3 )
its not about getting it to exalted, its about doing it right for loremaster. The ONLY 2 bugged quests ally side in storm peaks are Krollmir and Fate of the Titans. EVERYTHING else works if you stick to the chain. There are some tricky quests where you can bug the whole chain but if you stick to wowhead, its gonna be fine
