Just wanted to give anyone new to Burning Crusades a heads up. There are factions for every new zone in TBC And there is a trick to getting that faction up before reaching 70. You should do the instances in the zone you want raised faction in before you do the quests for the area. The reason being that instances give faction up till honored (until you get lv 70 then you can get to exhalted) and quests give you faction no matter what. So get to honored in all factions by doing instance runs before doing the quests in said zone. once honored do all the zone quests you should be somewhere in revered now so when you get 70 you can bang out that exhalted real fast.
I screwed up on Hellfire penninsula and im only about 1500 into honored. I am now doing zangarmarsh the way i described above. I will edit post when im done doing it the right way and will post how far into revered i am to display how big of a difference it actually makes. I am estimating approximately 13-15k more honor for the same amount of time invested.
