WoW Forever Ravenholdt Reputation: The Rogue Faction, How It Starts and What It Gives

Ravenholdt is the league of assassins and rogues led by Lord Jorach Ravenholdt. Their stronghold, Ravenholdt Manor, is tucked away in a hidden valley in the mountains above northeastern Hillsbrad Foothills, on the edge of the Alterac Mountains.

Characters of both the Alliance and the Horde begin at Neutral standing (0 of 3,000). Ravenholdt is in an enduring war against the Syndicate, a criminal organization of fallen Alterac nobility. Slaying Syndicate members awards standing with Ravenholdt and reduces standing with the Syndicate.

While the faction is built around rogue lore and pickpocketing mechanics, any class can earn Exalted standing. Characters kill Syndicate humanoids through Friendly and Honored, and hand in lockboxes to complete the climb to Exalted.

Ravenholdt Manor does not appear as an open road on the world map. Reaching the estate requires locating a hidden path in the northeastern corner of Hillsbrad Foothills:

• Start north of Durnholde Keep. Follow the river path northeast past Durnholde Keep until you reach the mountain ridge at coordinates 75, 24.
• Pass through the hidden tunnel. Look for a narrow gap in the rock face that opens into a dark stone tunnel through the mountain.
• Follow the mountain pass. Emerging from the tunnel places you in a secluded mountain valley that leads straight to the courtyard of Ravenholdt Manor.

Warning: Never attack or damage any Ravenholdt NPC or guard. Damaging a Ravenholdt member drops your standing into Unfriendly, making the guards hostile and halting your quest progress.

Rogue characters gain access to introductory quests starting at level 24:

• The Manor, Ravenholdt (quest 6681). Rogue trainers in capital cities offer this quest at level 24. You receive the Seal of Ravenholdt and travel to the manor in Hillsbrad Foothills. Deliver the seal to Fahrad on the balcony of the estate.
• Syndicate Emblems (quest 6701). Fahrad and the Ravenholdt Guards task you with pickpocketing Syndicate Emblems from Syndicate humanoids in Durnholde Keep. Turning in an emblem awards reputation with Ravenholdt.
• Reputation cap on emblems. Syndicate Emblems can be turned in repeatedly, but the guards stop accepting emblems once you reach Friendly standing (3,000 of 3,000).

Non-rogue characters skip these 2 quests and start their reputation directly by hunting Syndicate mobs in the open world.

Slaying Syndicate humanoids is the most straightforward method to build standing from Neutral to Honored. Each kill awards 5 reputation with Ravenholdt and reduces Syndicate standing by 5:

Advancing from Neutral 0 to Friendly 3,000 requires 600 Syndicate kills. Advancing through Friendly to Honored 0 requires 1,200 kills. Advancing through Honored to 11,999 of 12,000 requires 2,400 kills. At exactly 11,999 of 12,000 Honored, Syndicate mob kills stop awarding reputation.

Once you reach 11,999 of 12,000 Honored, the only repeatable method to gain reputation is the quest Junkboxes Needed:

• Quest giver: Wravien (quest 8249). Wravien is stationed in the cellar of Ravenholdt Manor. He requests boxes so his apprentice rogues can practice lockpicking.
• Turn-in requirements: Handing in 5 Heavy Junkbox containers awards 75 reputation with Ravenholdt and a stack of Dusksteel Throwing Knife weapons.
• Total boxes needed: Moving from 11,999 Honored through Revered (21,000 reputation) to Exalted requires 281 turn-ins. That equals exactly 1,405 Heavy Junkboxes.
• Where Heavy Junkboxes drop: Rogues pickpocket Heavy Junkboxes from level 45 to 60 humanoid enemies. Reliable farming spots include Lower Blackrock Spire, Stratholme, Scholomance, Tyr's Hand in Eastern Plaguelands, and Hearthglen in Western Plaguelands.
• Tradeable containers: Heavy Junkboxes are not soulbound. Non-rogue characters obtain them by purchasing them from Rogues or trading on the Auction House.

Ravenholdt does not feature an epic armor quartermaster. Instead, specialty merchants inside the manor offer distinct utility items, poisons and profession recipes:

Merchant	Location	Item sold	Type and requirement
Smudge Thunderwood	Manor Cellar	Recipe: Thistle Tea	Cooking 60 (Rogue and Druid, restores 100 energy)
Smudge Thunderwood	Manor Cellar	Poison supplies and Flash Powder	Reagents for Rogue poisons and abilities
Zan Shivsproket	Manor Interior	Schematic: Gnomish Cloaking Device	Engineering 200 (invisibility trinket, limited supply)
Wravien	Manor Cellar	Dusksteel Throwing Knife	Item level 52 thrown weapon (+7 Agility), quest reward

Reaching Exalted with Ravenholdt serves as the ultimate prestige milestone for rogues and dedicated collectors in WoW Forever. Other faction reputations in the game are covered in our WoW Forever reputation guide.
