I think as a 'mercenary of sholazar' it makes sense, because your loyalty lies with the highest bidder, right?

I figured out how this is done tonight. There is a daily quest that you can do to kill this elite in a cave in Sholazar. He has 2 prisoners with him, one frenzyheart NPC and another oracle NPC. At about 30% or so he shields himself immune and you can either kill the frenzyheart or oracle npc then the other one helps you finish off the mob. Whichever one you "saved" makes you immediately hated with the other faction and puts you up to whatever your highest rep level with the saved faction was. So I can stay frenzyheart and do the dailies till exalted, then do the change faction daily and save the oracle and do the dailies with them till exalted.

Pretty cool idea if you ask me.

www.wowwiki.com has good info about this. For the lazy people i will quote what's seems to be an issue for you ^^

To switch factions from Frenzyheart Tribe to The Oracles you must defeat Artruis the Heartless, a level 77 elite that is soloable by many classes. During the fight with Artruis you are attacked by both an Oracle (Jaloot) and a Frenzyheart (Zepik) , you must leave the Jaloot the Oracle alive and kill Zepik the Frenzyheart, then finish defeating Artrius in order for the Oracle Hand of the Oracles quest giver to appear. Completing this quest automatically boots your rep to honored, but REDUCES your frenzyheart tribe rep to hated, so make sure you finish up anything you wish to do with the frenzyheart before completing this task.

This works the same the other way around ofcourse, hope this helps you people out :)

Here's a well-written FAQ about this: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=12891011239&sid=1

It indicates that when you drop one reputation, its current level is stored, and if you ever come back, you will pick up where you left off.

Of course, it may be incorrect.

I made exalted Frenzyheart a few days ago. I switched to Oracles and was 0/12000 honored. Since I've been busy lately, I haven't been able to do any Oracles dailies, and I'm still 0/12000 honored. I decided to test what rep I would be at if I changed back to Frenzyheart..

Results: I went to 0/12000 honored with Frenzyheart.

If they made this achievement a title, it might be the coolest title in the game

I just switched factions tonight. I was previously Exalted with the Oracles and had worked to revered with the Frenzyheart when it was time to switch and get the egg again for the pet. When I did the quest I went to 0/12000 honored with the Oracles. After asking a GM it was confirmed that this is the way it is intended to work. So beware if your trying for this achievement, make sure you hit exalted with the one you want to keep last as every time you switch you will go back to honored.

Only one faction (whichever you leave at exalted) will count toward the 40 Exalted Reputations achievement. Don't expect both of them to count - once you switch from one to the other, and lose exalted status, the number on that achievement will go down by one.

Edit: although this was true at the time of the post, the mechanic changed after a hotfix, and now is tracking all factions having been raised to exalted, not maintained at exalted. Corrections below are true after the hotfix.

Ok, The problem is I got exalted with Frenzyheart, did the switching faction q correctly - got honored with Oracles and hated with Frenzyheart. BUT I can't do any q now with Oracles, the guy who gives dailies just doesn't give me anything. (The Oracles are green now and talk, I can buy from their QM, etc.) Any1 has changed factions and got same problem or any idea from any1? ty.

For those wondering, here is Artruis the Heartless

Kommentar von taohu

the quest for switching is considered a daily, so you can only switch once a day. You can get a max of 1.7k rep through the 3 dailies thus you will need 20 days from 0/12k honoured to hit exalted.
On a side note, you can buy and keep the rep rewards that have a duration, such as the jar from frenzyheart or mysterious egg then switch factions then get the contents of the item 7 days after even if you don't have the rep. At least that worked for me as of 3.0.8. You will also retain the jc pattern you learnt while you have the rep to buy it in your profession list as you switch factions.

Kommentar von Ruhler

Oracles have more to offer with their egg, than the Frenzyheart jar, and to get everything it'll take you a number of weeks. So I did Frenzyheart 1st so I can stick with Oracles for the duration, and get those pets and mount. So far 2/2 proto-drake whelps....

If one does all three dailies for either faction every day, and once he hits exalted with one faction, switches to the other and does their dailies, it should take 39-40 days to complete this achievement (20 days for each, but once you hit exalted you can start the other which is two days in one). This is for non-humans.

The Frenzyheart Tribe is one of the two main factions in Sholzaar Basin (the other being The Oracles). To earn reputation to exalted with either reputation, you must first begin this quest: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12528. This begins a quest in which you act as a slave to repay the Frenzyheart Tribe for their stolen kill. This quest line will earn you reputation towards the Frenzyheart Tribe. Now if you have already looked at the Oracles' rewards and the Frenzyheart Tribe's rewards, you probably will prefer the Oracles' rewards more (four pets and a proto-drake), vs. the one transformation item that the Frenzyheart offer. Do not worry: This quest line must be done to earn reputation with either faction.

When you begin this quest line, you will first start off by earning the reputation of the Frenzyheart. You will continue their series of quest lines, until you get to the point that you save the Oracle. Accepting this Oracle's quest will make you hostile/hated with Frenzyheart but friendly with The Oracles. You will then follow their series of quest lines to earn reputation with the Oracles.

You will finally come to the final quest of the series: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12581. In this quest, you will fight an elite that doesn't do too much damage, but unprepared foes may have trouble. During this fight he will have standard damage, with Frostbolts and melee; but at 30%, he shields himself and releases two prisoners: An Oracle and a Frenzyheart. This is where you choose which faction you want; you will kill your enemy (whichever you choose), and then your new ally will help you defeat Artruis. After killing Artruis, the saved ally will become a quest-giver. The ally will give you a DAILY quest that makes you 0/12,000 honored with the ally's faction, and the proportionally-opposite reputation for the faction of the enemy that you killed. Upon completing this daily quest, you will be able to go back to the faction's base camp and do three daily quests that will earn you reputation. There is a total of 8 daily quests, three of which appear each day. There is one daily quest for each reputation that is always shown every day, and then a daily quest that is chosen from a random four. This daily quest will be a random task that is done in the Basin. The final third daily is a random choice of three. These three dailies are quests that command you to kill 30 or 50 mobs of the opposing faction using different methods. This genocidal daily quest will give you 700 reputation each day (no matter which daily), and the other two dailies will give 500 reputation each (1700 each day -- at most 20 days of doing all three dailies a day will get you 999/1000 exalted.

The faction that you choose can be changed. In order to change your decision (no matter the reputation you have currently), if you redo the Artruis event saving the NPC of the faction you want, you will become 0/12000 honored of that faction. NOTE: Redoing this quest and choosing the faction that you are affiliated with currently will reduce your reputation to 0/12000 honored, even if you are higher than that. Also note that switching factions, and then switching again (example; Oracles -> Frenzyheart -> Oracles) will still leave you at 12000.

So now you know the basics. Which reputation do you choose?
The main reason people earn reputation with these factions is to purchase the egg or jar that presents the user with a reward after 7 days. The egg is from the Oracles and the jar is from the Frenzyheart.
There are four companion pets that are available from The Oracles. These pets will be easily found in the egg that is bought at revered. However, these pets are not bind-on-pickup, and therefore can be bought/sold via the AH. There are also two other awards: A proto-drake mount, that has a ~5% chance to drop from the egg, and aged yolk, a food item that is like normal food.
The jar rewards level 70-type potions (mana, health or rejuvenation) but also has a chance to drop https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44719, which disguises the person who uses it.

There are also five achievements associated with these factions. Two of which require you to earn exalted with the respective factions, and the third requires you to earn exalted with both (not at the same time). The fourth and fifth require you to do all 8 dailies of each faction.

Now personally, I chose Frenzyheart first because I wanted the Mercenary of Sholzaar achievement and I knew the Green Proto-Drake would take some time for me to get. Once I finished all 8 daily quests and got exalted, as well as got the brew I switched to the Oracles. I currently have all the pets and am waiting on the proto-drake. Once I get exalted and the drake, I think I will switch back to Frenzyheart as the daily that requires me to kill the Oracles lets me kill mobs that drop clams that give me pearls.

So the choice is yours. Enjoy!

This achievement is yet one more example of Blizzard's rather questionable moral standards.

Player: "Yeah, so... I just spent the last few weeks mercilessly slaughtering literally thousands of your kinsmen, but we're cool now, right?"

Jaloot: "Yeah we're good. You have shinies?"

If you're confused about switching factions, like I was, there's no quest to get. You just go to the cave and attack the lich. Then, when the prisoners are freed, kill the member of the opposing faction, kill the lich and the faction-changing quest will be offered.
