Reputation Gains when Leveling in Dungeons

[Purpleflavor]

The worthwhile dungeon quests back in vanilla usually required a long quest chain within the outer zone to be done before getting the main dungeon quests.

As far as i remember, the only rep you could get from dungeons in vanilla was from the quests, few and far between, so it wasnt farmable. Yoou're gonna get to know your cloth quartermaster pretty well in classic.

1. getting honored is easy since the starter zone quests give a lot of rep to get you started. Even if you start as say troll, it is so worth going to the orc starter area later and doing all the quests for the rep.

2. there's a lot of gathering to be done in dungeons, much better quality if not quantity.

3. quest hubs generally lead you to new hubs and flightpaths, so i dont think either leveling path will have an advantage over the other in terms of flightpaths. You may be exposed in enemy territory more often than a quester though.

My opinion is that dungeon grinding is much slower than questing, but it has it's benefits. You'll be much better geared. You'll make much much more gold. It's better suited for a boxer and the repetitious grinding can be more comfortable. You're mostly safe from griefers.. Lastly, barring the lockout timers, it's not so slow that it's not worth it.
