The Runeguard Notoriety

There are several ways  to obtain notoriety with The Runeguard but like every other "classic" faction after completing story and normal quests one can find itself already deep into Honored. So what can be done after Honored to increase notoriety? The daily quests at Reclaimer's Hold and running the Runic Descent instance are probably the best ways to increase your notoriety.

Runic Descent

Runic Descent is an easy dungeon for a level 60. Here are some values I got while clearing this dungeon:

• +5 notoriety for each normal mob;
• +15 notoriety for each elite mob;
• +250 notoriety for each boss;
• +500 notoriety on completion.

Daily Repeatable Quests

There are a few daily quest at Reclaimer's Hold (around  6305, 1605):

• Riven By The Flood: +2000 notoriety per turn in;
• The Wallowing Abyss: +2000 notoriety per turn in;
• The Loci of Moonshade: +2000 per turn in;
• A Gathering Force: +2000 per turn in;
•  Farthest Fallen: +2000 per turn in.

Plus the usual planar quests:

• Seal Rifts @(6307, 1615): +2000 notoriety per turn in;
•  Kill Rift Creatures @(5522, 2191): +2000 notoriety per turn in.

And the fishing quests (6345,1661):

• Fish Exchange (2 quests): Major Fish Award each one.

 Daily Route

I usually just do the fishing quests once for the unique recipe. After that I normally stick to the "kill/collect" quests. The figure below shows my daily path across Moonshade Highlands when I was increasing my notoriety with The Runeguard.

Daily route at Moonshade Highlands to complete daily quests. Red: by mount: Blue: used porticulum.

First I accept the quest at Timberveil then port to Reclaimer's Hold. That's where I accept the remaining quests and start my journey. I start at the Etched Plains and go northeast to the Hammerknell Fortress. Then south to the lake to activate the underwater locus. After that I go east, kill the demiurge there and move south to The Hammerhead and Faemist Point. My journey is concluded by completing the 3 remaining objectives between Faemist Point and Timberveil again. Use porticulum back to Reclaimer's Hold and it's done. While moving between all these locations I close 4 rifts and kill the 18 rift creatures required.

Arcane Hand Notoriety

There are several ways  to obtain notoriety with the Arcane Hand. As usual there are workworders at Meridian, normal/story/dungeon quests and carnages. Running The Fall of Lantern Hook also awards notoriety with the Arcane Hand. Finally there are a few daily quests that can be completed to increase your notoriety with AH.
As with almost all the other "classic" factions I was already level 60 when I started hunting Arcane Hand faction achieve so I had the most of it done already. If you don't have about 7,000 to 10,000 into Honored status then you're probably missing a lot of quests. I advise you to complet those first.

The Fall of Lantern Hook

Running The Fall of Lantern Hook is probably the best way to increase notoriety. This is a level 44 dungeon. Here are some values:

•  +5 notoriety for each normal mob;
• +25 notoriety for each elite mob;
• +400 notoriety for each boss;
• +1150 notoriety for completion.

Red Scar Trackers Notoriety

There are several ways  to obtain notoriety with the RST, like some daily workorders, running King's Breach, normal/dungeon/story quests, carnages and repeatable rifts/fishing quests. Also pretty much any mob roaming Scarwood awards notoriety with RST when killed. By level 60 you should be at least honored just by completing normal/dungeon/story quests. The maximum is Revered so you'll need a little less than 35,000 notoriety. Let's see what can we do to increase notoriety with RST.

King's Breach

Running King's Breach is the best way to increase notoriety. This is a level 35 dungeon (level 52 on expert difficulty). Here are some values:

•  +5 notoriety for each normal mob;
• +15 notoriety for each elite mob;
• +400 notoriety for each boss;

Quarry Rats Notoriety

There are several ways  to obtain notoriety with the Quarry Rats, like some daily workorders, running Foul Cascade, normal/dungeon/story quests, carnages and repeatable rifts/fishing quests. If you are like me and you're level 60 trying to max out all the faction reps you probably have already done all the normal/dungeon/story quests and carnages and you don't have any more daily workworders for the Quarry Rats so let's focus on what's left.

Foul Cascade

Almost any level 60 spec one shots the level 30 mobs in this dungeon so clearing Foul Cascade should be fast. Here are the values:

• +1 notoriety for each normal mob;
• +5 notoriety for each elite mob;
• +220 notoriety for each boss.

It's not much, but if you've already done all the quests in Scarlet Gorge you won't need much more notoriety anyway.
