The Nightclaw Druids are a reputation on Zephras Isle, the Skyborne starting zone. Blizzard's development notes mention the Nightclaw Cavern druids in the quest "Wounds of Betrayal". The rest below is reported by players and guide sites, chiefly Warcraft Tavern, and not confirmed by Blizzard.
Where
Reported: they're neutral druids in Shadowgale Forest on Zephras Isle, and the story links to the Skyborne Druid's Bear Form. The chain starts with Lotheluum Starbreeze in Valanaar. Their quartermaster is Vayn Moongaze.
Gaining reputation
Reported:
- The story quests take you to about halfway through Friendly.
- After that, a repeatable quest takes Al'Aketh Ears: 5 ears for 200 reputation, once you've handed in your first 10.
One site lists 1,000 per hand-in from older data. Final beta testers reported 200, so plan on 200 until the live number is confirmed.
Rewards
Reported:
| Standing | Reward |
|---|---|
| Friendly and Honored | Low-level Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring patterns, mostly for looks |
| Revered | Shadowgale Squirrel pet |
| Exalted | Nightclaw Mantle shoulder appearance and the title "of the Nightclaw" |
None of it is gear you need, so this is a reputation for collectors. If you're leveling, the time is better spent on your route. See the Skyborne, back to Zephras Isle and all reputations.
