5.4 PTR - Golden Lotus

[chazus]

So Golden Lotus is going away in 5.4, with no more dailies. However it was stated that there will 'still be ways to get rep'. Are there any NEW methods, outside of dungeon bonus rep, farming bonus rep, and the nonexistant rep tokens?

[Florena]

My guess would be the sha and former quest mobs for the daily quests will grant rep when killed.

There was a substantial post regarding this earlier, where Blizzard explained how it would work - can't find it now obviously, think it was a blue response on the US forums. First of all some of the quest hub remains despite the damage to the Vale, also there are the Tiller Food Orders, the Zandalari tokens and if I recall correctly mobs in the Vale would now also give Lotus rep, amongst other changes as well.

Yes I read somewhere that in the week that you now get rep from killing mobs in the Vale.

I was able to get exalted on 2 toons as well as my wife and my brother with multiple toons without doing a single daily. We did this by farming zandalari scouts and the warbringers for the mounts, and used the plethora of tokens that drop.

Quest hub is gone (I checked). If you talk to the GL person in shrine, they literally say "There's no more work to be done"

amongst other changes as well.

I was hoping to find out what those "Other changes" are.

The Golden Pagoda is gone yes, but the other parts like the training camp near the Wall is supposed to remain - according to the blue response which I can't find.

Yes I rememeber this too. The hubs been preserved there because of related achievements.

Its just 2 hubs that goes away not EVERY single daily.

[chazus]

Okay, yeah. It looks like 1 (maybe two?) of the hubs are there, and two are missing, and the mobs give credit so... That's not too bad, I suppose. Hopefully I can get them capped before then. Can't tell if Mistfall Village is still a hub, or just wasn't today.
