With less than 2 months left untilShadowlandsreleases,World of Warcraftplayers are rapidly running out of time to finishBattle for Azerothcontent that’s leaving forever. However, other members of the community are taking a break until thepre-patch invasionsince current endgame activities will become obsolete very soon. Because of this, Blizzard has reintroduced the Impressive Influence buff to draw players back in for the time being.
For the entire month of September, Impressive Influence will double the reputation earned for mostLegionandBfAfactions. While this will help unlock allied races such asthe Vulpera(which are currently restricted behind reputation), there are other things players should focus on to earn extra cosmetics and make a bit more gold before the next expansion.

Emissary Quests
Since the World Quest system was implemented inLegion, players can have up to 3 emissary quests active at a time. Turning in the emissary quest normally gives 1500 reputation, but Impressive Influence means earning 3000 reputation per emissary with a specific faction. When factoring in the other reputation for quests,World of Warcraftplayers will get 3500-4000 reputation that always fills up a significant chunk of the bar whether at neutral or even exalted for just spending a few minutes doing various tasks.
Although emissary quests for the same faction will never pop up more than once within several days, the Rustbolt Resistance faction on Mechagon will have a few dailies that total at least 2000 reputation. This guarantees that players can obtain a paragon cache filled with about 4000 gold every 4-5 days by visiting the zone each day. TheNazjatarfactions also offer a similar combination of dailies and world quests that greatly benefit from Impressive Influence.
The Honorbound/7th Legion
World Quests in Kul Tiras as a Horde character will always grant reputation towards the Honorbound faction and the same applies to completing Alliance quests inZandalarfor the 7th Legion. While doing every single opposite continent quest would be inefficient in most cases, the doubled reputation means getting a paragon cache every 2-4 days is worth the effort now. Additionally, the daily assaults within a certain zone will give 1750 reputation for both factions and can cut down the grind even more.
Legion Reputation Insignias
Finally, anyone that played throughoutWorld of Warcraft:Legionshould have an army of alt characters with order halls and fully-geared followers. Bysending those followers on missions, players can earn rewards such as reputation insignias forLegionfactions which also benefit from Impressive Influence. After hitting exalted with that specific faction, however, any future tokens become account-wide. All the tokens from exalted alts can then be funneled to one character to use them and get more paragon caches than usual. While theLegioncaches have been significantly nerfed, it’s still several hundred gold for switching between characters for several minutes.
World of Warcraftis available on PC.World of Warcraft: Shadowlandswill release on October 26th/27th worldwide.
