Faction Guide

Consortium

The Consortium is an association of traders, smugglers and other dubious types. These are Ethereals, strange glowing beings first drawn to Outland by the explosion at Auchindoun AW, and now looking to take advantage of the newly discovered territory. Their main base of operations is the Stormspire W in Netherstorm, where you'll find their leader Nexus-Prince Haramad AHTW, and Karaaz AHT, their quartermaster

The Consortium do not provide keys or attunements of any kind, and so are not directly relevant to any high-level quests or raids. However, they do provide a large selection of faction rewards, including a wide range of jewelcrafting designs.

The Consortium is a business enterprise, and as such they will start to pay you a salary once you reach Friendly status. Your salary will improve along with your reputation, and consists of a monthly delivery of gems and jewels of various types. So, taking the salary and faction recipes into account, the Consortium is a faction of particular value to Jewelcrafters.

Gaining Reputation

There are several Consortium quests available from Aeris Landing W in Nagrand, and within the Mana-Tombs AHTW of Auchindoun. The main Consortium interests are concentrated in Netherstorm, though, and you will find large numbers of faction quests spread throughout that region.

Neutral to Friendly

  • Collect Pairs of Ivory Tusks AHT from wild elekks in Nagrand, and hand them to Shadrek AHT at Aeris Landing.
  • Collect Oshu'gun Crystal Fragments AHT, either from the crystals in the ground around Oshu'gun, or from the Consortium's rival Ethereals, the Vir'aani, in the same area. Hand in sets of ten fragments to Gezhe AHT, also at Aeris Landing.
  • Run through the Mana-Tombs wing of Auchindoun.

Friendly to Honored

  • Collect Obsidian Warbeads AHTW from the ogres throughout Nagrand, and hand them in (in sets of ten) to Gezhe at Aeris Landing. (Note that Obsidian Warbeads are also used in building Kurenai faction - if that's a higher priority for you, you should hand the beads to Warden Iolol AHT in Telaar W, instead.)
  • Continue running through the Mana-Tombs wing of Auchindoun (though note that mobs in this instance give less reputation at Friendly).

Honored to Exalted

  • Collect more Obsidian Warbeads for Gezhe.
  • Collect Zaxxis Insignia AHTW for Nether-Stalker Khay'ji AHTW in Area 52. These are from another rival group of Ethereals, the Zaxxis, who can be found skulking among the wreckage of the Heap W, southwest of Area 52.
