Before you go
- Chains of Domination to the end of its second chapter, Maw Walkers, which opens Korthia, the Death's Advance and the covenant assaults; the assaults start to appear once A Unified Effort is picked up from Bolvar in Korthia · about 3.5 h
- The achievement On the Offensive, account-wide: four of the nine covenant assault achievements. An assault runs in the Maw twice a week, led by one covenant at a time. United Front asks for all four covenants' assaults; several of the others can be done in one visit to the right assault (ten Mawsworn Caches at the Necrolords' for Up For Grabs, ten Rift Hidden Caches at the Night Fae's for Jailer's Personal Stash, tea served to each Venthyr at theirs for Tea for the Troubled), some only when a certain assault quest is up · about 4 h over 2 weeks
- Exalted with Death's Advance: 42,000 reputation at about 6,000 a week, from Korthia's daily quests (125 each, three to five a day, sometimes with a token for 175 more), the weekly Shaping Fate (750), the two covenant assaults (350 each) and the Maw's weekly events and quests (Tormentors of Torghast, Containing the Helsworn, Helsworn Battle Plans) · about 32 h over 7 weeks
- 1,000 Stygia: 200 in the War Chest of every covenant assault, and from Maw activities and Korthia's creatures and rares along the way
In all: about 39.5 h of play, spread over 7 weeks, starting from nothing.

Notes and sources
Kyrian only: 'After reaching exalted reputation with Death's Advance and earning On the Offensive, Kyrian Covenant members can purchase this mount from Duchess Mynx at Keeper's Respite for 1,000 Stygia' (wiki). Wowhead's tooltip data agrees (Covenant: Kyrian, Vendor: Duchess Mynx, Zone: Korthia, Cost: 1000, Achievement: On the Offensive; binds when picked up). The journal's cost of 1,000 is Stygia, and it leaves out the reputation.
The four covenants have a mount each on the same terms from the same vendor: the Battle-Hardened Aquilon for the Kyrian, the Pale Gravewing for the Venthyr, the Battlefield Swarmer for the Necrolords and the Winter Wilderling for the Night Fae. Apart from what is said above, these notes are those for the Pale Gravewing (checked in 2026) with the covenant changed, and were not read again.
On the Offensive first asked for all nine assault achievements, then six, and now four by Wowhead's tooltip for it, while the wiki's page still says six. It is account-wide and the assaults are open to every covenant, so it can be earned on any character, but the buyer has to be a Kyrian. Death's Advance has been a Warband-wide reputation since patch 11.1.5, and Stygia can be moved between a Warband's characters since then (Blizzard Watch, 2025).
The nine achievements:
- United Front
- A Sly Fox and The Zovaal Shuffle at the Kyrian assault
- This Army and Up For Grabs at the Necrolords'
- Krrprripripkraak's Heroes and Jailer's Personal Stash at the Night Fae's
- Hoarder of Torghast and Tea for the Troubled at the Venthyr's
Assault times by Wowhead's guide: Tuesday morning and Friday evening on US realms, Wednesday morning and Saturday evening in Europe. That the four covenants take turns in a fixed order is assumed in the 14 days and was not read. Medium confidence for that reason and because the reputation rests on amounts from 2021.
The mount is normally usable only by Kyrian; Renown 80 with the Kyrian makes it usable by the whole Warband (wiki). Coordinates are Wowhead's tooltip for Duchess Mynx as given for the Pale Gravewing and the Battlefield Swarmer (63.4, 23.4), the top level of Keeper's Respite. No flying in Korthia. Added in patch 9.1.0 (wiki).
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
