- Revered with Death's Advance: 21,000 reputation at about 6,000 a week from Korthia's daily quests (three to five a day at 125 each), the weekly Shaping Fate (750), the two covenant assaults in the Maw (350 each), the Tormentors of Torghast (100 for the week's first event, 200 more from its cache) and the Desmotaeron weeklies (200 each) · about 16 h over 4 weeks
- 5,000 Stygia: from the Maw's quests (140 a daily, 425 for each of Ve'nari's weeklies), the War Chest of a covenant assault (200), the week's Tormentor's Cache (200), and the creatures and rares of the Maw and the Mawsworn and rares of Korthia · about 3 h
In all: about 22 h of play, spread over 4 weeks, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Korthia 63.4 23.4 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Oribos*
- Take the portal to Korthia within the Ring of Transference*
- Ride the rest of the way
- Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Oribos*
- Take the portal to Korthia within the Ring of Transference*

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.
Notes and sources
The journal's cost of 5,000 is Stygia (Wowhead's sold-by data has 5,000 of currency 1767; the wiki and Wowhead's guide say Stygia). Wowhead's tooltip for the item reads 'Requires Death's Advance - Revered', as the journal does.
The reputation has been shared by the Warband since patch 11.1.5 (wiki), so every character's Korthia and Maw activities count towards it, and on an account that already has the standing only the Stygia is left. Whether Stygia can be passed between characters was not established. A character drops part of its Stygia on dying in the Maw and can pick it up again from the body (wiki).
Wowhead's reputation guide was written in 2021 for the patch that added Korthia: its amounts are from then, and nothing read says how fast the reputation goes today, hence medium confidence. It lists the Amber Shardhide at Revered for 5,000 Stygia and says all the vendor's goods are bought with Stygia, 'gained from completing Maw activities and looted from mobs and rares in Korthia'.
Not counted in the 6,000 a week:
- reputation tokens that sometimes come with a daily (175) or with the Desmotaeron weekly (1,000)
- the weekly from the Rift's rares (200, needs Rift access)
- Korthia's rares and treasures (a 2022 comment preferred them to the dailies)
- the Sanctum of Domination raid, whose bosses give 125 each and Sylvanas 625 by a 2025 comment
A 2021 comment found the Tormentors' 100 only on the week's first event, which is how it is counted here.
Coordinates are Wowhead's map pins for Duchess Mynx (63.4, 23.4 and 63.4, 23.6), the top level of Keeper's Respite; the wiki has 63.3, 23.3. There is no flying in Korthia. The same vendor's box for reputation past Exalted can hold the Beryl Shardhide and the Fierce Razorwing, and she sells four covenant mounts at Exalted. The item is Unique and binds when picked up.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
