There are also rep gaining items off random things each follower likes something different. The guy I use likes big meaty crab legs so sometimes when I am hunting crabs he has a ? over him and you can hand him a crab leg to gain 75 rep.
That said the rep this go round has been really easy to get. If all you do is the dailies and wq and don't even try to do the extra stuff it takes a couple weeks to hit revered and get your fish guy follower rep up high enough. It is hands down better than legion and wod for these pathfinder reps as it requires no mission board time gating at all.
Weird because I have a 405 ilevel and I didn't have it unlocked.....mostly because I've been busy. Hell I haven't even had time to play ff14.
:P
It was the bleh feeling I got when I first did the opening quests for BFA is why I have not leveled {there was a lot of very negative stuff going on in my life at the time} There are things like fighting for weapons once more and other reasons why I don't want to level in BFA {I feel far worse about it than I did in cata and I had a very nasty opinion of Cata from that time}
There are other reasons why as everyone I knew of quit playing wow {two of them are looking forward to playing vanilla again and want nothing to do with BFA}
I would say more but it's going to veer off in rants
I am plenty enough geared to raid and will be doing heroic shortly (we want to clear normal first, only had one 2 hour raid so far and we tend to dawdle a lot) and I am still not revered with Naz and have completely ignored Mecha till I finished Naz. This is because I sort of focused on the gearing aspects and have been doing the other stuff as I have time.
The rep was showing how much I have gotten done. I think most people would hit revered around the time they get to 3k total follower exp (since those levels give decent rep anyway)
There are quests every few levels for the followers. i have one at like lvl 9 or 10 now and have done 3-4 of them. I'm not sure spreading the love around matters much. Also for the benthic azerite pieces. going from 50 to 350 manapearls for an ilvl upgrade is nuts. by the time i get 350 with the 10-20 or so a day you can get, i could have cleared heroic at the very least.

was one of the TBC attunement killing one of the reavers in the first zone?
Blizzard: Pailryder#1101
GoG: https://www.gog.com/u/pailryder
Depending on the class/spec/slot, some of the Benthic additional affixes are worth up to 30 ilvl slots, fully upgraded are better than some mythic raid pieces.
For me, who only does heroic raiding, about half my slots BiS is a fully upgraded Benthic piece. As assassination rogue.
As i understand it the trick is to roll alts through since we m the early Nazjatar quests give aton of pearls. Use alt pearls to buy several armors of the slot type that's BiS for main, send to main for opening. Open one at a time, looking for combination of socket + desired benthic affix + terciary you like (i like speed which as melee = time on target). Then spend main's pearls only on upgrading.
Afraid not! My heroic raiding guild is the living proof. We mostly all unsubbed after clearing the crucible of storms on normal once because there wasn't any point in running it since we were already heroic Dazalor geared. We were pretty fatigued by the long long gulf between major content drops and bad quality of the non-raid/dungeon "here's some daily shit to do" content and the bad story. If we didn't have a couple people who stayed subbed and have been doing the grind we'd be fucked now, as is we are extremely reliant on those few people showing up to actually be able to do the raid.
Maybe you're right and we should just quit though. I guess the devs agree with you?
I haven't played it myself, but I can tell you what I've heard second hand.
My understanding is that Mechagon is a slowly unfolding picture. The more you do and uncover, the more you can continue to do and uncover. From what I've gathered, the best approach to Mechagon is just to spend a bunch of time there. Run all over and do everything you can, and at certain plateaus of progress you will unlock more things to do there. It's a cascading effect of increasing activities.
That's my 2nd hand understanding of how the zone works.
A ton of the rep available each day on Mechagon is not visible on the map and comes in the form of either drops from rares that open up additional quests, or dailies that are out on the island but hidden and don't show on the map until you actually find the NPC giving them.
Two solutions;
My solution, thank you sir!

With Darkmoon Faire it's almost 1k rep. More if human.
I figure arenas are just a dumpsterfire, but BGs are a good time.

No blue post or anything yet to confirm.
Have you beaten all the pets? each pet battle on the island is 75 rep the first time you beat each one, even if they aren't a WQ.
Correct, 2s is completely unbalanced right now and blizzard has said they aren’t focusing on it at all.
None of them have ever been of a position that has any influence on game balance.
Dhal was FAR from alone in his opinion. Pretty much anyone doing M+ at a 10 or more was saying the same thing.
Really 3s arent much better, 2s were just what i was doing last night. There was one moment though where the stars aligned and my stat buffs procced right when i went to burst a rogue and everything crit and i killed him from full health in a kidney shot on their healer while my partner was screwing with their resto druid. Even my partner was like wtf did you do to him?

Its been years but I think it was:
MC: They added this later, originally you had to run through Blackrock Depths I think every time you wanted to enter the raid. This was easy, gotta get to the portal and touch a stone for a quest.
BWL: Originally I think for Horde I remember this super long questline that involved beating BWL and touching the orb behind him then like 4 other things? I assumed alliance had the same but I guess not.
Onyxia: Per wowhead this is the quest chain for Horde to get Onyxia Attuned:
Slay Highlord Omokk, War Master Voone, and Overlord Wyrmthalak. Recover Important Blackrock Documents. Return to Warlord Goretooth in Kargath when the mission has been accomplished.
Eitrigg's Wisdom
Speak with Eitrigg in Orgrimmar. When you have discussed matters with Eitrigg, seek council from Thrall. You recall having seen Eitrigg in Thrall's chamber.
For The Horde!
Travel to Blackrock Spire and slay Warchief Rend Blackhand. Take his head and return to Orgrimmar.
Blackhand is one of the encounters of Upper Blackrock Spire.
What the Wind Carries
Listen to Thrall.
Thrall tells you about how it is known that Onyxia has disguised herself as a noble from Stormwind, Lady Katrana Prestor.
The Champion of the Horde
Seek out Rexxar. The Warchief has instructed you as to his whereabouts. Search the paths of Desolace, between the Stonetalon Mountains and Feralas.
Rexxar patrols through the entire main road of Desolace, starting from Shadowprey Village.
Mistress of Deception
[Deliver Rexxar's Letter to Myranda the Hag in the Western Plaguelands.
Myranda the Hag is located in the middle of Sorrow Hill, to the south of Andorhal.
Oculus Illusions
Travel to Blackrock Spire and collect 20 Black Dragonspawn Eyes. Return to Myranda the Hag when the task is complete.
Emberstrife
Travel to the Wyrmbog in Dustwallow Marsh and seek out Emberstrife's Den. Once inside, wear the Amulet of Draconic Subversion and speak with Emberstrife.
The Test of Skulls, Chronalis
Guarding the Caverns of Time in the Tanaris Desert is Chronalis, child of Nozdormu. Destroy him and return his skull to Emberstrife.
As mentioned, Chronalis is located in front of the blocked entrance to the Caverns of Time, in Tanaris.
The quests to kill Chronalis, Scryer and Somnus are received at the same time.
The Test of Skulls, Scryer
You must find the blue dragonflight drake champion, Scryer, and slay him. Pry his skull from his corpse and return it to Emberstrife. You know that Scryer can be found in Winterspring.
Scryer is located inside the cavern of Mazthoril, next to the teleport to Haleh.
The quests to kill Chronalis, Scryer and Somnus are received at the same time.
The Test of Skulls, Somnus
Destroy the drake champion of the Green Flight, Somnus. Take his skull and return it to Emberstrife.
This is all from wowhead and little memory so it might have been changed in all the years since, I certainly don't remember everything.
:
He hasn't posted in awhile, but he was on the art team, I doubt he had much say over game design and balance.
I haven’t played a ton, but apparently games above 2k cr now are just completely full of busted essences and the mechagon trinket.
I get that pvp isn’t blizzards focus and that’s fine. What is discouraging is that, for this expansion at least, changes seem to be coming out a lot slower than previously.
Everyone said that essences were going to be stupid busted if they went into pvp with no changes. Blizz basically said “well think about looking into it” and now here we are.
