The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj event introduces the huge 20-player dungeon, the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ20) and the 40-player raid instance, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ40). The raid also introduces a new faction to the world of Azeroth: the Brood of Nozdormu. Original Introduction: Patch 1.9 (January 3, 2006). Our Top 10 picks of the AQ20 loot.We review some epic upgrades from AQ20 - some is BIS, some not, but if you aren’t 100% decked out already, or need some hit. This is the rep you get from Ahn'Qiraj, you can get it by doing AQ20 but you don't get hardly as much from AQ40. Each boss you kill in AQ40 drops an insignia and it gives you 500 Brood rep and 100 Cenarion rep. You want to save these insignias until you get 2999/3000 neutral rep, this is where you stop getting rep from trash mobs in AQ40.

The Cenarion Circle in World of Warcraft is a neutral faction, based in Moonglade and Silithus. Players start at 0/3000 Neutral, except for Druids, who start at 2000/3000 neutral and will be Friendly after completing the early class quests at level 16.

Before the Burning Crusade expansion, the usual way of gaining reputation was to run Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj raids regularly to get access to reputation rewards and recipes. Since the expansion, however, Silithus and Ahn'Qiraj get much fewer visitors, since Outland gear is generally better and requires less effort.

However, many people still like the old regions and instances. With Patch 2.3, the reputation gains for the Cenarion Circle have been greatly increased, to make it easier for new players who usually will not spend that much time in the old content.

There are various methods of gaining reputation: killing mobs belonging to the Twilight Hammer in Silithus, doing repeatable quests (both solo and group quests), non-repeatable quests and, of course, AQ10.

Also, with the release of 1.12, you can now gain Cenarion Circle reputation by participating in the World PvP in Silithus. Turning in one Silithyst Dust gives you 20 reputation points for Cenarion Circle.

With patch 3.0.2 and the Achievement system, the [Guardian of Cenarius] title requires players to reach Exalted with both the Cenarion Circle and the Cenarion Expedition.

The release of patch 4.0.x saw the removal of the repeatable quests involving the Twilight Cultist clothing sets and summoning Abyssal mobs. The Cultist sets still drop, but serve no purpose other than vendor trash, as they are not disenchantable. To replace the potential reputation loss, the patch saw the introduction of Cenarion Circle faction quests in Desolace, Western Plaguelands and other zones.

Reputation

The fastest way to grind reputation at level 90 is to grind through all the Twilight Hammer cultists in Silithus. Each one gives 10 reputation and drop Encrypted Twilight Texts, which are required for the repeatable quest [56] Encrypted Twilight Texts. It is possible to grind all the way through Honored to Exalted in less than four hours doing this.

NOTE: Twilight Prophets drop 7 - 10 Encrypted Twilight Texts.

Reputation Rewards

Quests: The Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj

Several quests are available in outside the AQ10 instance portal for class-specific armor sets. The sets consist of a ring, a cloak, and a weapon. The ring requires Honored reputation with Cenarion Circle, the cloak requires Revered and the weapon requires Exalted. See the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj Quest Loot page for more info. There are no quests available to any class added after Burning Crusade.

Quests: Field Duty

The Field Duty quest chain gave substantial rewards (including epics at the end) from a series of quests introduced in Patch 1.9. These quests were not available until the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj opened and the 10-hour Opening Event had been completed. These quests were removed with the release of Cataclysm.
