In the Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft, building your reputation with the various factions is a great new way to enjoy the game. In the Lower City of Shattrath, you’ll find a variety of refugees gathered with numerous skills. The quartermaster is located in the market and you can find a Mana Loom for those industrious tailors out there to craft your higher end items. While in the city, you’ll find numerous NPCs with vast amounts of information that will be highly useful in crafting. All eight Battlemasters can be found here as well, offering their services for those on either side of any of the four battlegrounds.

Not only can you find all of the faction NPCs you could want in the Lower City, you can find numerous other crafters as well. You’ll find a Grand Master Skinner as well as a Grand Master Alchemist who has an Alchemy Lab and a Quest to become an Elixir Master.

Tailoring is the name of the game in the Lower City though. You’ll find three specialized tailors with the skills and offerings that will allow you to begin crafting epic tailoring recipes and 20 bag slots. There is a Spellfire Tailor, a Primal Mooncloth Tailor, and a Frozen Shadoweave Tailor.

As for the building of reputation while in the Lower City, the first step is to find Arakkoa Feathers. To find these all important reputation drops, you’ll need to go to Terrokar Forrest. Here there are two spots in particular that offer numerous methods to gather these. The first is called Veil Skith, where numerous Dreadhawks and Windrippers are located. The other zone is Veil Reskk where Shinors can be found and killed for the feathers.

In either location, drop rates are incredible and you’ll receive a large amount of Netherweave Cloth which can be resold for a decent amount of gold. The feathers resell for about 15 gold per stack and along with the other loot you’ll snag while farming, you’ll likely come up with almost one-hundred gold an hour. You can post messages in Shattrath itself to resell the feathers and likely gather more gold quicker than if you were to resell them at auction or to vendors.

As an add on to the game, the Lower City is a great hub for players looking to develop their crafting skills, raise their reputation levels, or simply explore new areas of the game and make some gold.
