The Ascended Reputation and Rewards Guide in Shadowlands

The main story quests no longer give reputation in Shadowlands, with the focus instead being on world quests.

To gain reputation, you can:

• Complete side quests that are not a part of the main story progression in the Bastion zone.
• Complete world quests within Bastion.
• Equip a Contract: The Ascended.
• Complete the weekly quests offered in Oribos and choose The Ascended as your reward.
  • There are 6 weekly quests each week, with 2 Normal Dungeon quests, 2 Heroic Dungeon quests, and 2 PvP quests.
• Complete your daily calling, which grants reputation with The Ascended if you have chosen the Kyrian as your covenant.

If you wish to focus on gaining reputation with The Ascended, you can buy a Contract: The Ascended or craft one with Inscription.

This will give you reputation with The Ascended for every world quest you complete in the Shadowlands.

If you are part of the Kyrian covenant, you can expect to reach Exalted within 3 weeks, assuming that you are completing all potential sources of reputation every day of all 3 weeks.

If you are not part of the Kyrian covenant, it will take you far, far longer, due to not having the bonus from the callings. Even when using a contract with the Ascended, you are likely to spend nearly 2.5-3 months raising this reputation to Exalted.

The quartermaster for The Ascended is Adjutant Nikos, who can be found at Hero's Rest in Bastion.
