A ravaged battleground off the coast of Gilneas, the island of Tol Barad once served as a formidable Alliance prison. This was until World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, when the Horde Warchief of the time, Garrosh Hellscream, assigned a powerful group of soldiers to take over the land. This faction, Hellscream's Reach, was met quickly with the Baradin's Wardens, the remaining Alliance jailers.

Eager for assistance, the Baradin's Wardens offer numerous unique rewards at higher reputations, even including two mounts when exalted. This guide will give you everything you need to know to claim the rewards for your own.

Tips When Starting With Baradin's Wardens Faction

Before you can defend Tol Barad against thieves, spiders, undead, pirates, and the Horde, there are several things that will make the process easier.

First, you can track your current reputation with the Baradin's Wardens by going into the Reputation tab in your character profile. Find the Baradin's Wardens under the Cataclysm category and click 'Show as Experience Bar.' This will add your reputation level to the bottom of the screen for easy checking.

Second, you will need to turn on trivial quests to see which quest givers are offering quests. This is because of the expansions age, but can be fixed easily. Simply click on the small binocular button to the left of your minimap and check 'Trivial Quests.'

Finally, Tol Barad can be easily accessed through a portal in Stormwind City. This portal is located at the Eastern Earthshrine in northeastern Stormwind, between the Deepholm and Vashj'ir portals. Taking this will send you straight to the Baradin's Warden's headquarters in Tol Barad.

Grinding reputation can be made much faster during events such as Cataclysm Timewalking and the Darkmoon Faire.These will give buffs that increase your rep gain, so it would be a good idea to work on getting exalted during these times.

The Baradin's Wardens Rewards

The Baradin's Wardens offer unique rewards all the way to exalted, including weapon appearances, a toy, two companions, and two mounts. All rewards are bought with Tol Barad Commendations (TBC), which will be received upon completing quests.

Below is a comprehensive table of the still usable items based on reputation level.

How To Play Tol Barad For Reputation

Unlike Tol Barad Peninsula, Tol Barad itself is a world PvP area. Within Tol Barad, battles for control will happen every two hours or so, and last for 15 minutes.

Winning this for your faction will result in more available daily quests, as well as giving you 250 reputation for every win.

You should see a timer at the top of your screen counting down the time till the next battle, as well as stating who is currently in control. Once the battle starts, the goal is to capture all three of the keeps in the area: Warden's Vigil, the Ironclad Garrison, and the Slagworks.

If you choose to participate, wait at the entrance of the bridge going from Tol Barad Peninsula to Tol Barad; if you are in Tol Barad when a battle starts, you will be annoyingly teleported out.

This is relatively simple: when going to any of the keeps, you will see a small bar below your mini-map. Most likely, your marker will be on the red Horde side of the bar.

Staying in the area will slowly tick it up towards the blue Alliance side. Wait there until it reaches blue, at which point the keep will be yours. Rinse and Repeat for the other areas, and you will have won the battle.

It's recommended to use a character on a low-population server. Otherwise, you might find yourself face-to-face with some PvP-ready Horde players.

The Baradin's Wardens Quests And Additional Rep

Turning on WarMode in any capital city will provide two additional daily quests for reputation.

There will usually be around four to five dailies at the Baradin's Wardens camp, all completed on the Tol Barad Peninsula. This area is now significantly underleved, so completing them should be easy.

These will all give 250 rep and one TBC each, unless you are given "Shark Tank," which will give 350 rep and two TBCs.

Additionally, Major Marsden will have a quest once a week named "Victory in Tol Barad," in which you will be required to win one battle in exchange for three TBCs.

If Tol Barad is currently under the control of the Alliance, there will be six more quests available in Baradin Hold, the huge structure in the middle of Tol Barad. These additional quests will give 350 rep and one TBC each, and can be acquired by the two gryphon-riding NPCs inside the hold.

Finally, the similarly named raid, Baradin Hold, can be completed weekly on any difficulty for more rep, as all trash and bosses within the raid give 70 each.

The entrance is located on the left side of Baradin Hold; look for the large meeting stone and head into the open metal storm cellar to find it.

Getting exalted might take one to two months, but it will be worth it for those sweet, sweet rewards.
