Get exalted with the Lorewalkers in an hour or less

This article was originally posted October 5, 2012 by Michael Sacco. With Mists of Pandaria winding down, it's a good time to wrap up some of your lingering goals this expansion. If you've yet to hit exalted with the Lorewalkers, we're here to help.

When I first walked into Lorewalker Cho's sanctum at 90, I peered around for Lorewalkers daily quests and saw that they all seemed to involve archaeology in some way. My DK did not have archaeology up to any meaningful skill level. I sighed deeply at the cheap, neat-looking Disc of the Red Flying Cloud and walked away, until I heard from a little bird that getting Lorewalker rep was a lot easier than I thought.

All you really need to do to get exalted with the Lorewalkers is read each of the lore objects located throughout Pandaria; you can see a list of them (like The Seven Burdens of Shaohao) in your Exploration Achievements tab, under Pandaria. When you read all of the objects for each "story," you get an item to bring to Lorewalker Cho, who presents you with a sort of play about the story you collected, and you get a ton of reputation (thousands).

The best part? You can collect them all in an hour or less with 310 flying and a map to help you out.


Get exalted with the Lorewalkers the quick and easy and only way

The above map from BlizzPlanet shows you a route you can take starting right from Cho's home in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, taking you all across Pandaria to grab every lore object. The yellow stars are lore objects; the red stars are optional achievements, like Restore Balance and Legend of the Brewfathers. If you want to know where a specific one is and have an addon that shows you coordinates on your map, all of the objects are listed (per zone) below.

When you've collected them all, stop by a mailbox, collect all of the quest items, and turn them in to Lorewalker Cho. Keep in mind that you can only turn in one every five minutes or so, as Cho will begin telling you the story you returned to him; if you absolutely can't wait, just log out when he starts telling the story and immediately log back in. After turning in 8 of the 9 stories, you should be exalted.

Enjoy your flying cloud disc thing! Nimbussss!
