WoW Forever Nightclaw Druids Reputation: Vayn Moongaze, Rewards and the Fastest Route

The Nightclaw Druids are a secretive order of druids hidden in Shadowgale Forest, on Zephras Isle. They keep to themselves: the faction answers to no other power on the island.

Zephras Isle is the starting zone of the Skyborne. Horde and Alliance characters both begin at Neutral with the druids.

Their quartermaster is Vayn Moongaze, who stands at the Nightfang Den, at 63.8, 36.0 on the Zephras Isle map. How standings work for every faction in the game is on our WoW Forever reputation guide.

The faction opens with a chain of 8 quests in Shadowgale Forest. Do them in this order:

#	Quest	What you do
1	Unnerving Silence	Take it from Lotheluum Starbreeze in Valanaar, then find Elegael Thornpaw in the northeast of Shadowgale Forest
2	Tears of the Lady	Gather 8 Lady’s Tear Moss
3	Feathers for Binding	Take 20 feathers from the Shadowgale Shrieklings
4	Unwanted and Unworthy	Recover 10 Bloodied Heirlooms from Al’Aketh Footsoldiers and Stormchasers
5	The Wounds of Betrayal	Enter the Nightfang Den, heal 7 wounded druids and find Jorel Windsinger
6	The Ties That Bind	Kill Commander Haalien and carry his head to Elegael Thornpaw
7	Ripped Missive	Loot the missive from Commander Haalien and bring it to Elegael
8	The Fate of the Den	Take the missive back to Lotheluum in Valanaar

The chain lifts you from Neutral into Friendly. From there, Vayn Moongaze’s repeatable ear turn-in carries the grind.

Vayn Moongaze opens the grind with Mercy Falls on Deaf Ears, a quest for Al’Aketh Cultist’s Ears. After it, his repeatable quest More Al’Aketh Ears takes 5 ears at a time, as often as you bring them.

The ears drop from the Al’Aketh cultists in 3 places:

• Shadowgale Forest
• The Shrine of Akir
• The Gustberry Lowlands

Revered and Exalted ask for the most reputation, so the last 2 standings take the longest share of the ears.

Vayn Moongaze sells recipes for 3 professions. Every recipe comes in a Cloudy and an Azure version, and each makes low-level armor:

Profession	Set	Friendly	Honored
Blacksmithing	Skyforged (mail)	Gauntlets, Wristguards, Chain, Greaves	Chainmail, Legguards
Leatherworking	Gustwoven (leather)	Bracers, Gloves, Belt, Boots	Harness, Trousers
Leatherworking	Windraveled (leather)	Armguards, Mitts, Strap, Footwraps	Jerkin, Pants
Tailoring	Stormsewn (cloth)	Cuffs, Handwraps, Cord, Shoes	Vest, Leggings

The last 2 standings pay collectibles:

• Revered: the Shadowgale Squirrel, a companion pet.
• Exalted: the Nightclaw Mantle, a shoulder piece for level 15.

To level the craft itself, our WoW Forever Tailoring guide runs the route from 1 to 300.

1. Start Unnerving Silence in Valanaar and run all 8 chain quests back to back.
2. Loot every Al’Aketh Cultist’s Ear you find while you quest, and keep them in your bags.
3. Hand in Mercy Falls on Deaf Ears at Vayn Moongaze to open the repeatable quest.
4. Farm the cultists in the 3 ear zones and turn the ears in to Vayn 5 at a time until Exalted.

If you would rather spend those hours on the road to 60, a Pro levels your character from 1 to 60 on our WoW Forever leveling page.
