Heya all,
 
Quick question. Farming the guardians of the grove rep for the strain costume and hoverboat. However, i did every quest in the area and i'm sitting at 6k rep. Am i missing something or are there other ways to get the other 26k rep? Thanks :).

			All the lv50 areas are daily quest areas. To max Guardian of the Grove rep you gotta do Scorchwing, Tree event and Elyonas heart thingie every day for a while.

			Guardians of the Grove is probably the most brutal rep farm of all the daily zones, as there is no "real" solo quests for rep. Your 3 choices are Scorchwing, Elyona, and the Tree event. If you do all 3 each day, its about 1200 or so rep a day if I recall correctly. Hopefully, they add some solo quests in there eventually for alts trying to get the rep.

As has been said here, it's brutal and the tree is probably one of the most painful events ever.  You basically have to kill a mob and not die because if you die you then have to go and kill another mob again otherwise you don't get the quest credit.  None of the mobs are particularly easy to kill so you need to wait until they are nearly dead and kill them.
 
If you aren't in a group it's a right chore and there's a fair bit of inactivity and sitting about.

It's why I unsubbed tbh. Rerolled from main and doing this awful rep grind for over a month is just not something I want to put up with just so I can get my tier/amp unlocks considering im not rich and can afford the 12 plat it costs on the auction house.
 
Sitting on timers to wait for scorchwing>elyona>tree event is such an awful design. And it doesn't help that the fights themselves resemble the most boring MMO content in the genre -- you guessed right, Guild Wars 2  "dynamic" (emphasis on the ironic quotes) events style of zerg beating on a HP sack for minutes without any care for encounter mechanisms. It's not like anyone bothers to get gold on the tree event.
 
I hope they improved the stupid design of gating character progression behind month+ long dailies on the few daily zones they have with Drop 4. Or they just need to reduce the grind to Beloved by a lot.

			Any rep grind that doesn't also include a way to attain said rep solo (without gimping out an intended group event) is bad game design. Not everyone can be on or available at the times these events run, even if they're running multiple times a day. I have never enjoyed rep grinds that require grouping, tho I'll happily group for rep grinds as an OPTION to soloing.

Guardians of the Grove is a Group reputation quest zone that consists of
 
1. Scorchwing kill quest
2. Elonya Kill and quest item pick up
3. Drusera's Tree quest
 
All are group content that are daily quests.
Elonya is inside of the underground Eldan exo lab at the end of the area.
 
Scorchwing is out on a platue by herself behind the giant hole in the ground, and drusera is sitting near the center of blighthaven with The Caretaker.
 
Completing all these gives about 1200 reputation a day

We used to have a circle for doing gold tree everyday at exactly 11pm est.  But then some jackwagons came along trying to tell us how to play.  That gold was was pointless and they kept sabotaging our runs.  So happy I got my banarang and lemon aid.  I still use those :)
 
Whats stupid is that getting gold doesn't give more rep.  and it should.  But i maxxed out the rep on GotG before I even knew it.  I really just did the dailies for the EG/gold
