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), 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), the weekly Shaping Fate (750), the two covenant assaults (350 each) and the Maw's weekly events and quests · 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
The journal's cost of 1,000 is Stygia, and it leaves out the reputation: Wowhead's tooltip for the item reads 'Requires Exalted with Death's Advance and the completion of the assault meta achievement On the Offensive', and the wiki says the same. The buyer has to be a Necrolord and Exalted.
The achievement first asked for all nine assault achievements, then six from a hotfix of 24 September 2021 (wiki), and now four: Wowhead's tooltip reads 'Complete four of the covenant assault achievements listed below', while the wiki's page still says six. A hotfix of 20 September 2021 made it account-wide (wiki), and the assaults are open to every covenant (Wowhead's guide), so it can be earned on any character.
The nine:
- United Front
- at the Kyrian assault: A Sly Fox (find Sly once an assault, over three Kyrian assaults) and The Zovaal Shuffle (dance at five forges with a Mawproof Parasol while the quest The Ember Count is up)
- at the Necrolords': This Army (the quest You and What Army once with each of five champions, so five Necrolord assaults) and Up For Grabs
- at the Night Fae's: Krrprripripkraak's Heroes and Jailer's Personal Stash
- at the Venthyr's: Hoarder of Torghast and Tea for the Troubled; the tooltip's list calls those two Hoarders: Torghast Edition and Tea is Served
The guide gives the times as Tuesday morning and Friday evening on US realms, Wednesday morning and Saturday evening in Europe; an assault is four quests and a final fight with the Mawsworn commander.
The 14 days assume that the four covenants take turns in a fixed order, which was not confirmed. Confidence is medium because of that and because the reputation rests on amounts from 2021: nothing read says how fast it goes today. The Fierce Razorwing's notes have the Death's Advance standing as shared across the Warband; that was not checked again.
The Kyrian, Night Fae and Venthyr have a mount each on the same terms from the same vendor (Battle-Hardened Aquilon, Winter Wilderling Harness, Pale Gravewing). The assaults' own Necrolord mount, the Undying Darkhound, is a chance item in that assault's War Chest and has nothing to do with this one.
The mount is normally usable only by Necrolords; Renown 80 with the Necrolords on some character opens it to the whole Warband (wiki), and a 2026 buyer found that none of their other characters could ride it (Wowhead comment). Coordinates are from Wowhead's tooltip for Duchess Mynx (63.4, 23.4), the top level of Keeper's Respite. The item binds when picked up.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
