Notes and sources
Toraan sells six ruinstriders at Exalted for 10,000 gold each (Amethyst, Beryl, Cerulean, Russet, Sable and Umber), so one climb to Exalted serves all six.
The coordinates are Wowhead's on the Vindicaar's own map, taken from the ship's Antoran Wastes copy (55.4-57.0, 28.6-32.6); Wowhead's reputation guide puts him on the upper level of the ship. The wiki gives his place only as the Vindicaar. Argus has no flying.
The weekly rate, and so the seven weeks, is the weak figure: the wiki says the reputation comes mainly from the Argus storyline but gives no amounts for it or for the world quests, and insignias (Argussian Reach Insignia, Greater Argussian Reach Insignia, Demon's Soulstone) add to it. Wowhead's reputation guide (a player's guide, last updated 2020) fills in the amounts the wiki lacks; by it a character is Friendly on the way to Honored when the Argus story is done. Its amounts:
- an Argussian Reach world quest 150 (they are in Krokuun and Eredath only)
- the emissary 1,500 for four of them
- each of the three weekly Seat of the Triumvirate quests 250
- an Argussian Reach Insignia from class hall missions 250 (the Greater one 750)
- a Demon's Soulstone, which elites on Argus can drop once a day each, 1,000
The guide lists the six ruinstriders at Exalted and predates the warband change. Reputation is still per character today: Blizzard Watch (2026) reports that patch 12.1.5, announced for 13 October 2026, makes Legion reputations, the Argussian Reach among them, shared by the warband; how standings are merged was not yet known.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
