The Karesh Trust is a new Renown faction introduced in The War Within, Patch 11.2: Ghosts of K’aresh. This coalition is made up of Brokers and Ethereals who joined forces after the fall of their homeworld, K’aresh, at the hands of Dimensius the All-Devourer. Now, in a desperate attempt to prevent history from repeating itself.
The faction’s base of operations is the relocated city of Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, which now hovers above the shattered world of K’aresh. Here, players will meet the Karesh Trust, earn Renown, and unlock a wide range of rewards: profession recipes, mounts, and even the highly coveted Ethereal Augment Rune.

How to Farm Karesh Trust Reputation Fast
The best approach is to combine one-time boosts (like campaign quests) with repeatable activities (world quests, rares, weeklies).
Main Storyline Quests
The Ghosts of K’aresh campaign is your biggest early boost. Each chapter provides a huge chunk of reputation (up to 2,000 per chapter). Finishing the first three chapters in Week 1 can easily push you several Renown levels ahead.
Side Quests
Across the ruined zones of K’aresh are 11 side questlines, each giving between 350–500 reputation. They not only flesh out the lore but also help fill in the gaps between major unlocks.
World Quests & Rares
- World Quests on K’aresh grant reputation daily.
- Rare mobs give a smaller amount (around 15 rep), but stack up if you’re hunting them regularly.
- At Renown 5, Scribes can craft the Contract: Karesh Trust, giving bonus reputation for every world quest in Khaz Algar.
Weekly Quests
- Warrant Quests (unlocked at Renown 3) send you to eliminate high-priority threats.
- Phase Diving Weekly adds reputation through killing mobs, looting treasures, and completing objectives in altered timelines.
- The Dungeon Weekly from Biergoth in Dornogal lets you pick a reputation token, always grab the Karesh Trust one for a 1,500 rep boost.
Lore Objects
Scattered around K’aresh are 10 lore books. Interacting with them grants 250 rep each, and finishing all awards the achievement Secrets of the K’areshi.
Bountiful Delves
Completing these has a chance to reward a Karesh Trust token (around 1,100 rep). Limited per Warband, but worth doing weekly.
