The achievement requires gaining the following reputations : The title follows the character ' s name in the following format : This title has been confirmed to be acquire - able as of Cataclysm by a blue post : Unlike achievements , feats of strength normally do not track partial completion . The achievement is an exception , but prior to the tracking of exalted reputations for this achievement was buggy and the play may not have been credited correctly . This was often considered one of the hardest titles to acquire ( although Scarab Lord is more rare . ) Guides . Complete Guide by Fannin / Cogsworth . Insane in the Membrane FoS Guide - By Cogsworth of Ysera - US . Fannin of Crushridge US had taken the time to write an extensive guide on how to do this achievement . It is recommended that you read this guide ( in addition to this page ) if you are serious about attempting to get " the Insane " title . At some point Fannin appears to have changed names to Cogsworth and moved to Ysera - US server . The way to Insanity . The way to Insanity ( getting the title ) is long , requires a lot of farming and a lot of things to do . If you plan to become the Insane , bring your friends , your patience and your best farming skills and get ready . Listing all things that must be done from the easiest up to the hardest one should begin with the bloody pirates . Bloodsail Buccaneers . Getting with the Buccaneers is maybe the easiest thing . Just get in Booty Bay and start killing NPCs and Guards . Watch out for those who shoot you , because you can end up dead in the middle of the ocean . Assuming that you start at around 0 / 3000 Hostile with the pirates , you ' ll need to kill around 500 guards to become honored , while each guard gives you 25 reputation with Bloodsail Buccaneers and reduces your reputation with Booty Bay by 125 . And since that is linked with the cartel you ' ll lose reputation with the other 3 cities as well . You ' ll probably end up at 0 / 36000 with Booty Bay and somewhere in low hated with the other cities , by the time you ' ll hit honored with the pirates . Steamweedle Cartel . Things are getting tough , you now have to increase your Steamwheedle Cartel reputation to without ruining your Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation . ( at the moment - November 19th - you don ' t need to have honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers and exalted with Steamwheedle Cartel at the same time , confirmed by a GM ) You can achieve that either by killing pirates , but most of them do not give you reputation in exalted , and it would require an extreme amount of kills to achieve so ( Assuming that you require 84000 reputation to hit exalted , you ' d have to farm around 16800 mobs , and then again , you ' d have to farm more , since some mobs don ' t give reputation with certain cities ) . As of patch 4 . 0 . 1 the pirates outside of Gadgetzan and Ratchet will no longer give reputation with their respective cities . Also in Cataclysm these pirates will be removed due to the shattering . The best way to gain reputation now is through killing Venture Trading Company mobs , preferably in Grizzly Hills . Each kill should yield either 2 or 3 reputation with Everlook and Gadgetzan , and 5 for Booty Bay . It will take 33 , 600 kills to get Exalted with each of the goblin towns , but if you manage to get 10 kills per minute , this grind will only take you 56 hours to complete . Shen ' dralar . " Please Note that the Shen ' dralar faction will be removed as a requirement for after The Shattering takes places in patch 4 . 0 . 3 a , as it will be no longer possible to gain reputation with this faction . Players who already have the faction at Exalted will eventually receive a separate Feat of Strength . " Assuming that you are with the Cartel , and you have ran Dire Maul those 200 times , you ' ll probably have acquired around 84 librams required to get exalted with Shen ' dralar . If not , run Dire Maul , or check the Auction House for those . You ' ll need 84 ( any combination ) of , or . Along with these you ' ll have to bring with you 84 , a bunch of and some other level 60 items such as , and , which can be acquired from bosses in Scholomance , from abominations in Stratholme and in Blood of Heroes , in Eastern Plaguelands , Western Plaguelands and Tirisfal Glades respectively . Consider checking the Shen ' dralar libram quests here : , and Shen ' dralar historical notes & tips . Consider forming a guild on one of your alts and purchase a Guild Bank Tab for 100 gold . When you acquire librams you can mail them to your alt and store as many unique librams as you wish . Then when you want to start turning them in you can mail them to your Insane character and acquire the use of a MOLL - E . Each libram is Unique . Meaning that after you loot one you won ' t be able to loot the same one . Having one in your inventory or in your bank , makes you unable to even see if there is another libram like this . This is a major problem both while farming for librams and while turning them back . The best thing to do is to stop , if you get a libram , send it with mail to one of your alts , and go back into the instance , apart from that , if you have the materials required make a quick stop to the library room of the instance , and do the quest , to get 500 reputation , and to be able to loot the same Libram once again . In case you want to give all the librams at the same time , consider bringing a friend that can spawn a MOLL - E . This will make your life far easier . An Argent Squire or An Argent Gruntling can also be helpful . " Not true after Cataclysm . " DO NOT DELETE / USE THE ARCANUMS ! They can be used to increase your Zandalar tribe reputation , by doing : , and Ravenholdt . Things are getting tougher with Ravenholdt . Those rogues are sworn enemies of the Syndicate . And your first step is to start farming Syndicate Mobs . Move to Hillsbrad Foothills , and start farming those mobs . By getting 5 reputation of each mob you are required to kill 4200 of those , to get to 11999 / 12000 Honored , which will take roughly 3 . 5 hours if done correctly . After that you will have to do the repeatable quest in which you have to turn in 5 for 75 reputation . You ' ll need 1400 of those boxes to hit with the rogues . The main problem , is that those 1400 Junkboxes , have to be pickpocketed from high level Azeroth Mobs ( Old World to be exact ) . Only a rogue can do that , so , either get someone else to do it for you , or start leveling a rogue ( the second option is preferred since you are the Insane , not the others around you ) . If you choose to farm inside the keep instead , you will roughly be able to get 3000 reputation per hour , making the farm less efficient . Darkmoon Faire . The most difficult of all to get to . Before starting turning in decks , consider doing the Darkmoon Faire quests . A good list can be found here . After hitting the max you can with quests , the cheapest solution to hit exalted is to create decks with Inscription . Each gives 25 reputation , which means that you have to farm tons and tons of herbs ( or buy them ) , mill them , create inks , create cards and combine them to decks . The bad news are that the cards and the decks are not stackable , so at a point you ' ll have to start storing them somewhere else ( your mailbox for example ) . The even worse news are that you ' ll have to turn in 1680 decks , from 0 / 3000 , to reach , which translates to at least 5040 , since as the item says , you ' ll get a Random card of the Deck ( and we chose rogues , since they can be made from low - level inks and thus low - level herbs which are cheaper , and the deck only requires 3 cards ) .
