WoW MOP Classic Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation Guide

If you’re playing Horde, this is the Sunreaver Onslaught faction that unlocks your Isle of Thunder daily hubs, early gearing options, stage progression rewards, and of course the Crimson Primal Direhorn, one of the most iconic mounts in the expansion.

The faction is fully tied to the Isle of Thunder war effort: each stage unlocks new Sunreaver Onslaught daily quests, new areas, better rewards, and faster rep income. If you want to break into Phase 3 content smoothly, this is where your journey starts.

And if you don’t want to grind dozens of daily quests every day, our MoP Classic Patch 5.2: The Thunder King Boosts can handle the early unlocks, campaign progress, and island access for you, so you can focus on Throne of Thunder progression instead of repeating daily loops.

About Sunreaver Onslaught In MoP Classic

The MoP Classic Sunreaver Onslaught represents the Horde’s military push onto the Isle of Thunder, led directly by Lor’themar Theron. Their entire purpose is to secure mogu artifacts, break the Thunder King’s defenses, and gain control of the island before the Alliance does.

For players, this faction is the Horde progression track tied to the island’s five-stage war effort. Every time the server advances a stage, the Sunreaver Onslaught unlocks new content: wider zones, fresh daily hubs, new elite quests, and stronger rep income. Unlike raid reputations, this progression happens through open-world gameplay, not boss kills.

Your Sunreaver Onslaught reputation increases through multiple parallel systems:

• PvE daily quests: the fastest and most reliable rep source
• Optional PvP daily chains: lower rep, but available every stage
• Elite daily targets: one per day, high rep but harder to solo
• Rare elites: each rare grants 275 rep once per day
• Stage-ending scenarios: one-time +300 rep injections
• Reputation insignias: stackable tokens you can mail across alts

How to Unlock Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation

Unlocking Sunreaver Onslaught rep in MoP Classic is very fast — the faction opens the moment you gain access to the Isle of Thunder. The full path looks like this:

Pick up Thunder Calls: Automatically offered when you enter Shrine of Two Moons at level 90.
This breadcrumb sends you toward the Shado-Pan Garrison.

Complete The Storm Gathers: You’re flown to the Shado-Pan staging area in Townlong Steppes, where the Horde fleet prepares to launch the assault.

Take the portal and Arrive on the Isle of Thunder: Once you teleport in, you are placed at the initial Horde base, The Crimson Treader.
At this moment you officially unlock:

• Neutral - Sunreaver Onslaught reputation
• Access to Stage 1 daily quests
• The ability to begin progressing the server-wide war effort

Your Sunreaver Onslaught rep climb begins instantly, no extra requirements, no pre-quests, no gating behind dungeons or raids.

As the advances through Stages 1–5, your daily content expands:

• More quest hubs (Za’Tual, Ihgaluk Crag, Court of Bones, Diremoor, Beast Pens, Inner stronghold)
• Optional PvP dailies once Stage 2 unlocks
• Elite daily quests with higher rep
• Stage-ending scenarios with one-time rep rewards
• Access to the Sunreaver Onslaught quartermaster for valor gear and cosmetics

How to Get Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation

The Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation curve in MoP Classic is built around consistent daily progress, with a few strong bonus sources. If your goal is to reach Exalted as quickly as possible, these are the methods that matter and how they actually stack up in practice.

Best Way to Farm Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation

The fastest progression path looks like this: clean, efficient, and optimized for reaching Exalted in the shortest time possible:

Prioritize PvE Daily Quests: PvE dailies always provide the highest rep per day during every island stage.
PvP dailies fall behind both in raw numbers and in time-to-complete.

Daily PvE gain: 1850–2150 rep per day depending on stage.

Kill Every Rare Elite You Encounter:
Rares are one of the strongest rep boosts on the island.
275 rep per rare, once per day

Multiple spawn points across all hubs:
Usually 3–6 rares per daily route.
These kills often add up to more rep than an entire quest set.

Funnel Greater Insignias From Alts:
This is the biggest accelerator.
Greater Sunreaver Onslaught Insignia - +250 rep
Standard Insignia - +25 rep

Both can be mailed between characters.
Running Troves or tagging rares on alts dramatically speeds up Revered - Exalted.

Buy the Grand Commendation at Revered:

Once you hit Revered, purchase:
Grand Commendation of the Sunreaver Onslaught - Doubles all future rep gains on that character.

This halves the remaining time to Exalted.

Run Troves of the Thunder King Whenever Possible:
One of the best non-daily sources of rep:

• Excellent chance for Greater Insignias
• Fast to complete
• High-value chests for extra loot and insignias

Running Troves on all 90s you have is one of the strongest optimizations.

Complete Stage Scenarios:
Each stage finale grants:

• +300 rep
• Unlocks a new questing area
• Improves overall routing and efficiency

Skipping these delays your overall rep timeline.

Use Sunsong Ranch Work Orders (Optional):
If you maintain the farm:

+400 rep for almost no effort.
Great daily supplement if you're pushing hard.

Fastest Rep Route Summary

• PvE dailies only
• Kill all rares daily
• Mail insignias from every alt
• Buy the Grand Commendation ASAP
• Run Troves on cooldown
• Complete all stage scenarios
• Add Work Orders if you want extra daily rep

Following this optimized loop, most players complete Sunreaver Onslaught rep in 12–14 days, faster with heavy insignia funneling.

Sunreaver Onslaught Daily Quests

The Isle of Thunder progresses through five stages, and each one expands your Sunreaver Onslaught daily quest loop. Your rep speed increases with every unlock, so understanding the flow helps you prepare optimal routes.

Stage 1 - Za’Tual, Ihgaluk Crag, Court of Bones

The island opens with three scattered quest hubs.

Daily Structure
12 PvE dailies
~1850 reputation total
1 elite quest (group recommended)

Notable unlock:

Saurok disguise (Ihgaluk Crag) - this single quest completely changes your routing; Saurok turn neutral, and you gain access to leap movement. The time saved across the entire rep grind is huge.

Stage 1 is the slowest routing-wise, but the Saurok form sets the pace for everything that comes after.

Stage 2 - Diremoor + PvE/PvP

The second stage introduces the first major decision:
PvE or PvP daily block (selection is daily, not permanent).

Rep gains
PvE: ~1850 rep/day
PvP: ~1250 rep/day — not worth choosing for rep speed

New Hub:
Diremoor, with several high-density kill/collect tasks.

At this point, the daily flow tightens up, and the island becomes easier to navigate.

Stage 3 - Beast Pens & Conqueror’s Terrace

The third stage opens the best-designed outdoor hubs.

Daily Structure
Still 12 PvE dailies
~1850 rep/day
Faster quest density than Stages 1–2

The Beast Pens and Conqueror’s Terrace have tight mob clusters and short travel paths, making this one of the quickest stages for players optimizing their daily runs.

Stage 4 - Inner Stronghold Push

You finally move deep into the Thunder King’s fortress.

Daily Structure
~1900 rep/day
New elite finisher quest (tougher than Stage 1’s)

This stage is where the reputation pace picks up again thanks to strong quest rewards and more compact routes.

Stage 5 - Final Assault

The final, most rewarding stage and the one that pushes most players to Exalted.

Daily Structure
~2150 rep/day (highest of all stages)
Two Sunreaver Bounty chests per daily reset
Best rare elite density around the island core

If you're starting from Revered with the commendation, Stage 5 is where the bar explodes. Most players finish Revered - Exalted entirely during this stage.

Sunreaver Onslaught Quartermaster Location

If you’re searching where is the Sunreaver Onslaught quartermaster, here are both locations:

Stage 1 Location - The Crimson Treader

Vasarin Redmorn stands on the Horde flagship before the island base opens.

Stage 2–5 Location - Dawnseeker Promontory

He moves to the upper floor of the Sunreaver base once the server unlocks Stage 2.

Sunreaver Onslaught Reputation Rewards (Valor Gear & Mounts)

The faction is mostly a catch-up gear vendor, but the mount and tabard are iconic.

Honored

Revered

Also at Revered:
Grand Commendation (double rep)

Frost Rune Trap

Arcane Propellant

Exalted

Exalted Cosmetic Rewards

Final Thoughts

Sunreaver Onslaught reputation is a straightforward, predictable progression path in MoP Classic. You log in, clear your daily route, tag the rares you see, funnel a few insignias if you have alts, and the bar moves at a steady pace.

The vendor gear helps stabilize fresh level-90 characters during early Phase 3, and Exalted wraps up with the Crimson Primal Direhorn and the tabard, both clean, practical rewards for the time invested.

If your priority is getting into Throne of Thunder instead of running daily routes, the Thunder King Boosts can handle the island unlocks, Sunreaver Onslaught reputation, and the campaign steps for you. That way, all your time goes into gearing and progression, not into repeating the same open-world tasks every day.
