Introduction
There are lots of reputation factions that you might want to increase when you first hit level 60. The Thorium Brotherhood Faction provides some great crafting recipes for Tailors, Leatherworkers and Blacksmiths, including Fire Resistance gear, which is required for some bosses in the Molten Core and the Blackwing Lair.

Neutral to Friendly
There are some repeatable quests to complete for “Master Smith Burninate” at Thorium Point. You will need 2 Incendosaur Scale, 1 Coal, which can be bought from him, and either 4 Kingsblood, 4 Iron Bars or 10 Heavy Leather. The Incensosaur Scales drop and can be skinned from the dinos in a cave in the cauldron. The entrance is at around 47,43: Heres a map.
These quests all award 25 Reputation for the Thorium Brotherhood. This means that in order to get to Friendly without anything else, you will need to turn in 1200 Heavy Leather, 480 Iron Bars or 480 Kingsblood. Keep in mind though, that there are also some regular quests here that award reputation!
Friendly to Honored
This is arguably the easiest step of the reputation farm for the Thorium Brotherhood in Classic WoW. The only thing you need to do is turn in Dark Iron Residue. To get all the way from Friendly to Honored Rep with the Thorium Brotherhood, you will need a total of 960 of it, as it only awards 25 Rep per 4 Dark Iron Residue. You can turn it in at the same NPC as before.
Honored to Exhalted
Lokhtos Darkbargainer resides in the Tavern of the Blackrock Depths, in the far left corner. He is also the primary Quartermaster or Vendor for the Thorium Brotherhood, as he sells all the Reputation rewards. Here’s a list of what you can turn in here:
- 10 Dark Iron Ore – 50 Rep
- 1 Fiery Core – 200 Rep
- 1 Lava Core – 200 Rep
- 2 Core Leather – 150 Rep
- 1 Blood of the Mountain – 200 Rep
Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
In addition, by turning in a Sulfuron Ingot for Lokhtos Darkbargainer, Players can aquire the “Plans: Sulfuron Hammer”, which is required for the Legendary Hammer, “Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros”. In combination with the Eye of Sulfuras, of course, which drops from Ragnaros himself.
