You get Scale of the Sands reputation in Hyjal Summit in TBC, mainly by killing trash, bosses, Frost Wyrms, and Archimonde. The faction is tied to the Battle for Mount Hyjal raid, so you won’t farm it in normal dungeons or from questing outside that raid.

Where it comes from

  • Trash mobs: 12 rep each.
  • Frost Wyrms: 60 rep each.
  • Other bosses: 375 rep each.
  • Archimonde: 1,500 rep.

How to start

You need access to Hyjal Summit first, which is unlocked through The Vials of Eternity after completing both Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. That quest gives you Friendly with the faction right away.

Practical note

If you’re just trying to grind rep, the answer is simple: run Mount Hyjal repeatedly until you hit the standing you want. A full clear gives a large chunk of rep, and guides note it usually takes several runs to reach Exalted.
