TBC Anniversary Ashtongue Deathsworn Reputation Guide

The Ashtongue Deathsworn are Akama's Broken draenei and the reputation faction connected to Black Temple. Blizzard has scheduled Black Temple to open globally in Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary on August 27, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. PDT or 23:00 BST. The official Phase 3 announcement confirms the raid, its nine bosses, the attunement requirement, and Ashtongue Deathsworn reputation.

This guide explains how to unlock the faction, every quest that awards reputation, Black Temple farming methods, the route to Exalted, Okuno's location, all Friendly and Honored profession recipes, and every Exalted class trinket. The reputation has no daily quests or item turn-ins, so progress comes from the attunement chain and eligible enemies inside Black Temple. Farming values use established TBC Classic data and should be checked against the first live Anniversary clears after the raid opens.

Ashtongue Deathsworn Reputation Overview

Black Temple attunement is required on the Anniversary ruleset. The chain reaches across Shadowmoon Valley, the Arcatraz, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, and the Battle for Mount Hyjal. Players organizing the rest of their level 70 preparation can compare the available TBC Classic Anniversary services by attunement, raid, reputation, profession, and gear goal.

How to Unlock Ashtongue Deathsworn

Aldor characters begin the wider attunement line with Anchorite Ceyla at the Altar of Sha'tar, while Scryer characters begin with Arcanist Thelis at the Sanctum of the Stars. The two branches merge at the Warden's Cage. Proof of Allegiance awards the first 250 Ashtongue Deathsworn reputation and formally introduces the faction.

The first Shadowmoon Valley sequence continues through Akama, Seer Udalo in the Arcatraz, and Akama's Promise. The second part begins with Seer Olum after Fathom-Lord Karathress in Serpentshrine Cavern. It requires Al'ar in Tempest Keep and Rage Winterchill in the Battle for Mount Hyjal before the final event outside Black Temple. Completing A Distraction for Akama awards the Medallion of Karabor and finishes raid access, but that quest itself does not add Ashtongue Deathsworn reputation.

The reputation-awarding steps completed before entry provide 3500 points in total. That leaves an attuned character at Friendly with 500 of the 6000 points needed for Honored. Three additional quests continue inside Black Temple and add another 1350 points, bringing the complete non-repeatable quest total to 4850 before any applicable reputation modifier.

Quest Reputation Gains

The final quest also replaces the original neck with the Blessed Medallion of Karabor. This item provides Shadow Resistance and can teleport its owner to the entrance of Black Temple. It is a quest reward, not an Okuno reputation purchase.

How to Farm Ashtongue Deathsworn Reputation

Eligible Black Temple trash awards approximately 15 to 25 reputation per kill, while bosses commonly award 200 to 250. A raid that clears the instance and kills the available trash can expect about 7700 reputation. The exact result changes when a group skips optional packs, leaves sections uncleared, or stops before the later bosses.

A complete weekly clear is the simplest method because it combines quest progress, boss reputation, trash reputation, raid loot, profession materials, and access to Okuno. Do not rush past every optional pack if reputation is the main objective. Each skipped group reduces the value of a weekly lockout, and boss kills cannot be repeated for reputation within the same raid reset.

Organized groups may also farm repeatable trash before committing to a boss save. Clear the chosen packs, leave or log out correctly, reset the instance with an eligible leader, and repeat only while the live Anniversary lockout rules allow it. Do not kill the boss connected to a planned trash route until the final pass. Reset behavior can depend on the raid ID and every character who entered, so test one reset before building an entire session around the method.

Players who cannot secure a consistent Black Temple group can review the Ashtongue Deathsworn reputation route as an optional way to organize the required raid clears and trash-focused sessions.

Fastest Reputation Farming Plan

1. Complete every available attunement step before Phase 3 and prepare immediate access to Rage Winterchill.
2. Finish the remaining Hyjal and Black Temple access quests as soon as the raids open.
3. Enter Black Temple with the three follow-up quests tracked and confirm that the raid will stop at Seer Kanai.
4. Clear eligible trash instead of using aggressive skips during reputation-focused runs.
5. Complete Seek Out the Ashtongue, Redemption of the Ashtongue, and The Fall of the Betrayer during the earliest possible clears.
6. Use pre-boss trash resets only with a group that understands the route, reset method, and point at which the raid becomes saved.
7. Record the reputation gained after every clear so the raid can estimate the number of remaining lockouts.
8. Visit Okuno when a new standing is reached and buy only the recipes or class trinket that serve the character's actual goal.

Full clears remain the safest plan for a normal progression roster. Repeated trash farming can shorten the calendar time to Exalted, but it exchanges lockout efficiency for additional hours inside the raid. A group that already clears Black Temple weekly should first improve its trash coverage before adding a separate farm session.

Reputation Progress and Time to Exalted

Reaching Exalted from the beginning requires 42000 total reputation. Attunement provides 3500 before entry, and the complete quest set provides 4850. With roughly 7700 reputation from a full clear, most characters should plan for about five complete Black Temple clears after finishing the quests. A trash-heavy route can reduce the number of weekly lockouts, while skipped packs or incomplete clears can extend the grind.

Where to Find Quartermaster Okuno

Okuno is the Ashtongue Deathsworn quartermaster inside Black Temple. The vendor is not located in an outdoor faction camp and cannot be reached before entering the raid. After the group defeats Supremus, the Spirit of Olum near the entrance can transport players to the Ashtongue area where Okuno stands.

Bring enough gold before the raid begins. Each profession recipe costs 8 gold, and the Exalted class trinket costs 29 gold. Friendly and Honored are the only recipe breakpoints. Okuno does not add a separate Revered reward list.

Friendly Profession Recipes

Friendly recipes cost 8 gold each and require 375 in the listed profession to learn. The recipe items bind when picked up, while the armor produced from them binds when equipped.

Honored Profession Recipes

Honored completes the vendor's Shadow Resistance recipe selection. These recipes also cost 8 gold each and require 375 in Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, or Tailoring as appropriate.

Shadow Resistance Recipe Priorities

The crafted sets are primarily used to prepare non-tank players for Mother Shahraz. Bracers provide a lower-cost entry point, while legs, feet, waist pieces, and Night's End cover larger resistance goals. Every raid should decide which slots its players will replace before spending scarce materials. Crafting every available piece is usually unnecessary and removes too many normal combat stats.

These recipes use Heart of Darkness alongside profession-specific materials. Reputation only unlocks the recipe. It does not provide the crafting reagents, and reaching Honored does not guarantee that a raid has enough materials for every planned Shadow Resistance set.

Exalted Class Trinkets

At Exalted, Okuno sells one unique item level 141 trinket for each class. Every talisman costs 29 gold and has a class-specific trigger. These items are not automatically best in slot for every specialization, so compare the effect with the abilities used in the character's actual raid rotation.

Which Rewards to Prioritize

• Blacksmiths should match Shadesteel plans to the raid's plate Shadow Resistance plan before buying every recipe.
• Leatherworkers support both leather and mail users, so the raid should identify the required armor classes and slots before materials are assigned.
• Tailors should prioritize the cloth pieces actually selected for Mother Shahraz and consider Night's End when the cloak slot fits the resistance plan.
• Non-crafters have no vendor purchase to make at Friendly or Honored unless they plan to change professions.
• Revered is a progress milestone only and does not unlock a new Okuno reward tier.
• Every class should evaluate its Exalted talisman by specialization and rotation instead of assuming the reputation requirement makes it an automatic upgrade.

Common Ashtongue Deathsworn Mistakes

• Do not wait for daily quests because the faction has no daily reputation route.
• Do not expect outdoor Ashtongue enemies to replace Black Temple farming.
• Do not skip every optional trash pack during a weekly clear when Exalted is the main goal.
• Do not kill a route-defining boss before a planned trash reset session is complete.
• Do not confuse the 4850 total quest reputation with the 3500 available before first entry.
• Do not arrive at Okuno without the required profession level or enough gold.
• Do not plan around a Revered reward because the vendor has no separate Revered tier.
• Do not treat the Medallion upgrades as reputation purchases because both come from the attunement and follow-up questline.
• Do not call every Exalted class trinket best in slot without checking the character's specialization and current gear.

Ashtongue Deathsworn Progress Checklist

1. Reach level 70 and complete the Aldor or Scryer opening branch in Shadowmoon Valley.
2. Finish Proof of Allegiance and confirm that Ashtongue Deathsworn appears in the reputation panel.
3. Complete the Arcatraz and early Akama quests before Phase 3.
4. Finish the Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep steps and prepare access to the Battle for Mount Hyjal.
5. Defeat Rage Winterchill and complete the final Black Temple entry quests.
6. Enter Black Temple at Friendly and pick up the three remaining Ashtongue quests.
7. Clear trash and bosses with minimal skips during every reputation-focused lockout.
8. Use a repeatable trash route only after the group verifies the live reset behavior.
9. Buy the correct 8 gold recipes at Friendly or Honored if the character has a relevant profession at 375.
10. Continue full clears or organized trash sessions until Exalted and buy the correct 29 gold class talisman.

Final Verdict

Ashtongue Deathsworn is a raid-based reputation with a clear progression path. Attunement places the character at Friendly, the remaining quests add useful early progress, and Black Temple trash and bosses carry the grind to Exalted. The efficient approach is to complete every quest as soon as it becomes available, avoid unnecessary trash skips, protect planned reset routes from an early boss kill, and buy rewards only for a defined profession or class goal. Most regular raiders should expect about five complete clears, while organized trash farming can reduce the number of weekly lockouts at the cost of extra raid time.
