Sha’tari Skyguard Faction Explained

Sha’tari are a branch of Sha’tar from Shattrath City, serving as an air defense. They’re based in Blackwind Landing around Skettis in Terokkar Forest and Skyguard Outpost near Ogri’la in Blade’s Edge Mountains. Much like Ogri’la, they’re a faction that gives you daily quests as a main way to earn reputation, but unlike Ogri’la, the Sha’tari faction isn’t time-limited, which means you can grind them to speed up your reputation gain. I’m gonna tell you how you can do that later.

The only prerequisites to start your questline with Sha’tari Skyguard are flying and being level 70. You will not be able to access their faction hub without it. You start at Neutral reputation with Sha’tari, so you don’t need to gain their trust with a lengthy initial questline to start the reputation farming, as was the case with Ogri’la. Sha’tari’s questline starts in Shattrath City. Go and talk to Yuula (/way 64 42), and she will send you to Sha’tari’s first hub.

How to Go from Neutral to Exalted with Sha’tari Skyguard in TBC Anniversary Phase 2

Once you pick up the Threat from Above quest from Yuula and return to her with it completed, you’ll finally move on to Blackwind Landing, where the main faction questline starts:

Quest	Task	Rep Gain
Threat from Above	Slay any 20 Gordunni Ogres in the Barrier Hills and return to Yuula in Shattrath City.	+250
To Skettis!	Take the Explosives Package to Sky Sergeant Doryn at Blackwind Landing outside Skettis.	+10
Hungry Nether Rays	Use the Nether Ray Cage in the woods south of Blackwind Landing and slay Blackwind Warp Chasers near the Hungry Nether Ray. Return to Skyguard Handler Deesak when you've completed your task.	+250
World of Shadows	Severin wants you to venture into Skettis and retrieve 6 Shadow Dusts from the arakkoa that dwell there.	+250
More Shadow Dust	It looks like the commander was not delirious after all.  Bring me more dust and I'll prepare another elixir for you.	+150
Secrets of the Talonpriests	Obtain an Elixir of Shadows from Severin and use it to find and slay Talonpriest Ishaal, Talonpriest Skizzik and Talonpriest Zellek in Skettis. Return to Commander Adaris after completing this task.	+250
Ishaal's Almanac	Bring Ishaal's Almanac to Sky Commander Adaris north of Skettis.	+75
An Ally in Lower City	Bring Ishaal's Almanac to Rilak the Redeemed in Lower City inside Shattrath.	+75
Countdown to Doom	Return to Sky Commander Adaris with the news about Terokk's return.	+75
Hazzik's Bargain	Obtain Hazzik's Package at his dwelling in eastern Skettis and return to him with it.	+75
A Shabby Disguise	Use the Shabby Arakkoa Disguise to obtain the Adversarial Bloodlines from Sahaak and return to Hazzik.	+150
Adversarial Blood	Find the Skull Piles in the middle of the summoning circles of Skettis. Summon and defeat each of the descendants by using 10 Time-Lost Scrolls at the Skull Pile. Return to Hazzik at Blackwind Landing.	+350
Terokk's Downfall	Take the Time-Lost Offering prepared by Hazzik to the Skull Pile at the center of Skettis and summon and defeat Terokk. Return to Sky Commander Adaris when you've completed this task.	+1000

After completing the faction’s second quest, To Skettis!, you will unlock two daily quests:

• Fires Over Skettis: Seek out Monstrous Kaliri Eggs on the tops of Skettis dwellings and use the Skyguard Blasting Charges on them. Return to Sky Sergeant Doryn. +350 Rep.
• Escape from Skettis: Escort the Skyguard Prisoner to safety and report to Sky Sergeant Doryn. +150 Rep.

If you don’t have enough time to finish the whole questline in one go, don’t forget to at least complete the dailies so that they reset tomorrow to maximize the rep gains and so you don’t farm it longer than you should. Another important quest is World of Shadows. After you complete it, a new repeatable quest titled “More Shadow Dust” becomes available. Unlike dailies, it’s not limited to 1 time a day, and you can do it repeatedly, gaining 150 Rep each time. You do it by collecting Shadow Dust x6, just like in the main quest. Note that you can just buy Shadow Dust from Auction, but it’s gonna be a bit pricey, so check this link if you need TBC Gold.

Doing this quest is important for one more reason. It gives you Elixir of Shadows each time you complete it. Elixir of Shadows is one of the most important items for farming Sha’tari Skyguard’s reputation. It allows you to see Time-Lost Skettis, who are ghostly Skettis, otherwise invisible without the item.

How to Unlock Extra Dailies for Sha’tari Skyguard

If you thought that this was it, you’re wrong. There’s a second questline that eventually will unlock two more dailies that will bring rep gains both for Sha’tari and Ogri’la. Unfortunately, doing it requires you to progress the Ogri’la faction first, and that’s why I recommend doing both factions’ quests simultaneously. There’s a full guide about the Ogri’la faction that I wrote. After Ogri’la’s “Guardian of the Monument” quest, two of the factions start having common quests that grant rep towards both of them. This is how to unlock extra dailies for Sha’tari Skyguard:

Quest	Task	Rep Gain
The Skyguard Outpost	Chu'a'lor has asked you to speak with Sky Commander Keller at the Skyguard Outpost atop the Blade's Edge Mountains.	+10 Sha’Tari Skyguard Rep
Bombing Run	Sky Sergeant Vanderlip has tasked you with the bombing of 15 Fel Cannonball Stacks. Return to her at the Skyguard Outpost atop the Blade's Edge Mountains once you have done so.	+500 Ogri’la & Sha’tari Skyguard Rep
Assault on Bash’ir Landing!	Sky Commander Keller has asked you to speak with the Aether-tech Apprentice at the Skyguard Outpost in the Blade's Edge Mountains.	+10 Sha’Tari Skyguard Rep
Wrangle Some Aether Rays!	Skyguard Khatie has asked you to wrangle 5 Aether Rays. After you have done so, return them to her at the Skyguard Outpost atop the Blade's Edge Mountains.	+500 Ogri’la & Sha’tari Skyguard Rep
Group Quest: To Rule The Skies	Sky Commander Keller has asked you to acquire Dragon Teeth and return them to him at the Skyguard Outpost atop the Blade's Edge Mountains.	+500 Sha’Tari Skyguard Rep

Completing the Bombing Run and Wrangle Some Aether Rays! unlocks two new daily quests that bear almost the same names:

• Bomb Them Again!: Sky Sergeant Vanderlip has tasked you with the bombing of 15 Fel Cannonball Stacks. Return to her at the Skyguard Outpost atop the Blade's Edge Mountains once you have done so. +500 Rep to both factions.
• Wrangle More Aether Rays!: Skyguard Khatie has asked you to wrangle 5 Aether Rays. After you have done so, return them to her at the Skyguard Outpost atop the Blade's Edge Mountains. +350 Rep to both factions.

Doing all quests will reward you with 1350 rep gain total, which is a minuscule amount compared to how much reputation you need to reach Exalted. As I mentioned before, doing quests is not the most effective way to gain it.

 

 

Fastest Way to Farm Sha’tari Skyguard Rep

First of all, you need to complete the whole quest chain. Don’t worry, I’m talking only about the first part, up until Terokk’s Downfall. Doing the quests in Skyguard Outpost is recommended, though not mandatory. If you were to run only daily quests, you’d spend around a month getting to Exalted. This is too long. Here’s the fastest way to farm Sha’tari Skyguard reputation:

1. Do More Shadow Dust First: Get Shadow Dust by farming Arakkoa. Once you get 6 Dusts, go to Severin and give them to him. He’ll give you 150 rep and an Elixir of Shadows.
2. Drink the Elixir: Now you can farm mobs that drop Time-Lost Scrolls. After getting 10 Scrolls, go to the Skull Piles and interact with them as you did during the Adversarial Blood quest. This summons four mini bosses, each worth 100 Rep, and they also drop their parts, which can be traded for 350 Rep and a Time-Lost Offering.
3. Use Time-Lost Offering: Doing this summons Terokk, who grants 500 Rep upon kill. Be sure to gather a group, as it’s a boss fight. Terokk respawns every 15 minutes, so you can kill him and then do this route all over again.

This kind of farm usually nets you ~1400 Rep per full cycle, which can be repeated more than once. But this isn’t the only way to farm reputation. Every mob that you meet in Skettis grants Sha’tari Skyguard rep. I don’t understand why the developers didn’t allow this for Ogri’la, but oh well. I guess they had a vision. Here are the mob rep gains in Skettis:

Name	Rep Gain per Enemy Slain
Skettis Kaliri	+5
Monstrous Kaliri	+10
Any Arakkoa	+10
Talonsworn Forest-Rager	+30
Adversarial Blood bosses	+100 each and +350 for their loot
Terokk	+500

Talonsworn Forest-Rager is by far the best common mob to kill for faction rep. If you see it, always chase it. I don’t think you’ll be farming the mobs, though, since the method with More Shadow Dust described above is far superior. This is mostly a reminder for you not to skip mobs, as each one counts towards the Exalted faction level.

 

 

Sha’tari Skyguard Reputation Rewards in TBC Anniversary Phase 2

If Ogri’la’s rewards offer at least some kind of gear value, then Sha’tari’s are mostly for collection or fun effects. You can trade for food and capes, but the real draw is getting a Nether Ray mount or pet, tabard, and trinkets with decent bonuses. To get the faction rewards, find Grella (/way 64.5 66.0) in Blackwind Landing. Here are all the Sha’tari Skyguard reputation rewards in TBC Anniversary Phase 2:

Reputation Needed	Item/Gear	Cost
Friendly	Enriched Terocone Juice	40 Silver
Honored	Skyguard Rations	45 Silver
Revered	Skywitch's Drape	4 Gold, 71 Silver, 21 Bronze
Revered	Skyguard's Drape	4 Gold, 72 Silver, 85 Bronze
Exalted	Skyguard Silver Cross	4 Gold, 12 Silver, 30 Bronze
Exalted	Airman's Ribbon of Gallantry	4 Gold, 12 Silver, 30 Bronze
Exalted	Green Riding Nether Ray	200 Gold
Exalted	Purple Riding Nether Ray	200 Gold
Exalted	Red Riding Nether Ray	200 Gold
Exalted	Silver Riding Nether Ray	200 Gold
Exalted	Blue Riding Nether Ray	200 Gold
Exalted	Nether Ray Fry	40 Gold
Exalted	Skyguard Tabard	1 Gold

Don’t forget that in order to ride Nether Ray, you need to have Riding (300). The choice of Nether Ray ultimately comes down to the flavor of Monster Energy you want your mount to be.
