Cenarion Circle faction grinding

I would like to be revered with Cenarion Circle with my Horde priest, because then I could make 24-slot herb bags for my warrior, as well as nature resistance cloth armor. I am currently just friendly, so I looked around what it takes to get to be revered. And I quickly noticed why I never see those 24-slot herb bags on the AH, the effort to get to revered is utterly ridiculous. I read the WoWWiki Cenarion Circle reputation guide. It starts with step 1: Kill 9000 cultists. Lol!

The problem is that I have no problem believing the guide that this is the most effective method, creating lots of mules, killing thousands of twilight cultists, and storing the encrypted texts and twilight clothes on the mules for later, when killing the cultists doesn't give any more CC reputation. But it is not something I would do, as it is too repetitive, and I don't have room for that many mules anyway.

On the positive side I know that I can solo the quest to get Field Duty papers. And I tried yesterday and succeeded without problems to solo one of the templars summoned from the lesser windstones. So I will just start farming cultists and just store the encrypted texts on a mule, while using the twilight clothes immediately, even if that is less efficient, because sooner or later I'll go past honored and won't get any reputation from the kills any more. But at least I can mix killing cultists with field duty and tactical quests to kill templars, which makes things a bit more varied. I don't know yet if I ever will get to revered, or if I give up at honored.

AQ20 gives a lot of faction for the CC, esp. the first two bosses. It's also something different to the stupid windstone grinding :)

plus you need the Faction for the rewards (setitems) in AQ20. Honored for the Ring, Revered for the Back and Exalted for the Weapon.

AQ20 also holds the nice Spellupgrades, whcih drop from the bosses.

I'd love to do some AQ20. Unfortunately all our 20-man raids are hold on weekday nights, starting at 8 pm, and often lasting until past midnight. I think I will need to miss some sleep to participate in those.

Try to get a spot for the first two bosses. The second boss gives the most reputation and the trash gives faction, too. Maybe you can get some kind of deal with another priest, it's worth a try.

I did only a few quests in Sillithus but I got lucky with the Raid. :)

Faction grinding can be the most rewarding experience at the end, but getting there is like having a root canal everytime you log on. I'm going for timbermaw so that I can get the Timbermaw Defender trinket quest. I've been grinding now for almost a month and my status is half-way through honored on my way to revered. Not bad considering I was hated and at war when I started.

Grinding for some people is simply not an option because it is quite boring, but being an enchanter, I really like it because the drops are good, so they fuel my enchanting progress, and I am making about 60G per session which funds my twinking of other characters. Whoever said life is over at 60 obviously didn't like grinding.

Another vote for AQ20. I'm no fan of grinding but between my AQ40 (I think there's a little CC in there), AQ20, and helping guildmates with dukes/templars/lords, I just hit Honored.

One other noteworthy item - the NR ring you can get by turning in an Abyssal Scepter and having Honored (or higher) faction. Excellent NR ring. Good for AQ40, maybe a little Naxx. (I know those are beyond your guild right now but just wanted to mention it.)
