Long story short, there is but
one goblin
, faithful to Booty Bay but residing in the Badlands, who gives Bloodsail rep through Revered. Each kill is worth one point. One point per kill, for one particular NPC.
A non-human would have to kill that same NPC 20,999 times to hit 20,999/21,000 Revered with the pirates, and needs the foresight to save their quests until they've hit that cap, so that the quest rep can push them into Exalted. In the comments to the page linked above, Wigwam (mentioned in the previous comment) states that he farmed this NPC for ten months to become Exalted with the pirates. If that's not a Feat of Strength, it should be.
Edit 28 Oct 2011:
The above post was written in response to somebody asking why "Insane" only requires Honored with Bloodsail, and whether it was possible to be Exalted among the pirates. Prior to the Shattering, Honored was about as high of a reputation as one could reasonably get, and it involved an incredibly challenging battle royale with the Booty Bay Bruisers. However, it was possible (if not rational) to become Exalted with the Bloodsail, as I detailed above.
As of Patch 4.0.3, Booty Bay Bruisers now give Bloodsail rep all the way to Exalted, making the full rep grind considerably easier. There's still no reason to go beyond Honored, but there's not much harm in it either, since the goblins already hate you.

you likely do not need them all at the same time. the other rep based achievements that require 20/25/30 etc work on a bar counting system (similar to rep itself really) however this achievement works on a milemarker type system. so when you get honored with bloodsail for example it should turn green and stay such. just like doing the oracle/wolvar or any other achievement with a defined list. if i hadn't already trashed my bloodsail rep, a whole week before this achievement came to fruition, i would test it.
another good example is that horrible holloween mask achievement. you don't need them all at once you just have to have owned them at some point.

Hello,
Yeah started doing this achievement, or rather prepare for it when it hits Live.
Buccaneers
rep grind is extremely easy and rather quick (<10hrs) even if you are hated like I was.
Ravenholdt
's first part is easy but for the 2nd part (lockboxes) you really need an alt rogue or a friend whose willing to grind those boxes for you. If you dont kill the target you have pick pocketed it will take around 10mins or so before you can do it again, so this kinda takes the low level alt rogue pick pocketing out of the question unless you want to change the place often where you are pick pocketing.
Few things that makes this a bit easier/cheaper (trying to avoid AH like a plague, unless the stuff needed is extremely cheap for some weird reason) -
Inscription -
Making the decks for the Darkmoon rep, scroll of recall for the libram, diamond, goblin rep grind in DM North. So everytime you've completed the quest and gotten at least 1 libram its a good idea to HS/scroll of recall back to Camp Mojache, sell the crap from your inventory and send your libram to your alt since as its unique you can only carry one at a time. And when you are turning in the librams unless you are engineer/got engineer friend with the portable mailbox
Enchanting -
So you can dis all the loot for the shards needed in the libram turn in quest.
Rogue -
For pick pocketing the lockboxes needed to raise up your Ravenholdt rep, DM ogres are a good target.
Skinning / Leather Working
- For the Darkmoon armor kits.

Confirmed on 3.1 PTR that you can be higher than honored with Bloodsail and it will still count towards achievement
Also it will append the title to the end so it will be "Lostshard the Insane"

and then do the boot bay grind again?
In all likelihood, yes. Aside from Mercenary of Sholazar, all of the multi-faction reputation Achievements so far require that you maintain the stated level of rep with all those factions at the same time. For example, if you became Exalted with the Aldor and three other factions, then, without doing anything else, worked your way to Exalted with the Scryers (thus trashing your Aldor rep), you wouldn't get the "5 Exalted Factions" Achievement because you're only exalted with four factions.
If this is anything like those, you'll need to destroy your Steamwheedle rep, then bring it back up without bringing your Bloodsail rep below Honored (which disqualifies the cloth turnins; you'll have to either zap giants or run Dire Maul).You seem to be forgetting about
Hero of Shattrath
, which is also a Feat of Strength, and tracks your rep status based on whether you are exalted, any time after the patch hit. (Unfortunately I hear it didn't track based on whether you learned a pattern, but that's irrelevant here, aside from indicating you MUST hit the rep level after the patch).
Therefore, it's likely you will have to do the Bloodsail rep grind, but not both, if you're currently sitting at exalted with all Steamwheedle.
However, Blizzard may decide to require you to be truly insane, and raise both to that level, as described previously in other comments. One must note the wording within
Hero of Shattrath
vs. this achievement:
Gained
exalted status with The Scryers and The Aldor.
(note the past tense)
Raise
your reputation with the areas listed below.
(note the present tense)
But on a counter-argument,
Mercenary of Sholazar
also uses present tense:
Earn
exalted status with the The Oracles and the Frenzyheart Tribe.
I guess at this point the best that can be said is:
Only time
(or PTR testing)
will tell.

All these reputations should be had simultaneously or as in achievement Hero of Shattrath?

metallikop
you can repeatedly turn in cloth to bring up your reputation to neutral
You
can
turn in cloth to gain rep, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea for this achievement. As of 03/17 it's not known if you have to have all reputations simultaneously, if that's the case you loose 500 rep with the Bloodsail Bucaneers with every cloth turn in.

quoted from Phyloni
So someone who already put alot of time in it has to spend more time than someone who didnt? Doenst sound fair to me?
Things are not always fair
Timbermaw Reputation was nerfed 4 times since its release
1. Removed the only quest to get to exalted and added in beads/feathers instead
2. Increased the rep gain of beads and feathers.
3. Increased the rep gain of kills/
4. Increased the rep gain of beads and feathers.
So now you can get exalted at 80 in 4 hours now... and originally before 4 nerfs/buffs(depending how you look at it) took weeks. So is it fair for those who did it before nerfs? Not really but now timbermaw grind areas are not overcrowded with people and people can easily get to the diplomat achievement.
Insane in the Membrane is a Feat of Strength which means Blizzard does not expect you to grind it since its harder than normal achievements.
Edit: Xnub who provided the footage for the video did have to grind his rep twice

OK, i answered my own question, or just found a solution, farm for more than 30 hours with goblins
The easiest way for a mage is to grab another mage, make a macro
/tar southsea
/cast ice lance
then go to the pirates south of ratchet and run around spamming that macro, with friend mage following you, when you go out of mana, switch places with the mage, run around for hours and youll get 6-7k rep an hour
happy hunting
EDIT: spelling
EDIT2: got rid of /tar baron in the macro, it messes up, when you kill him it will only target his dead body
EDIT3: better way than spamming, set it to scroll, and run around scrolling, lots easier imo

Do keep in mind that when grinding pirates for SteamWheedle Cartel, their respective cities (those you get 5 rep with per kill) will no longer grant ANY rep after achieving revered. They still will give 2.5 rep with all others though.
To get exalted with all the steamwheedle cartel, I grinded the pirates south of ratchet until Gadgetzan was exalted, and then switched to the pirates in the cove in Tanaris to finish off Everlook and Ratchet. Lots of grinding, but it goes fairly quick. I did this as a holy priest, wanding the Ratchet pirates and Holy fire/Smite'ing the Tanaris ones.
Putting stand up comedy on in the background or having a fun chat with friends on Vent makes the hours fly by.

Blizzard better put some insane mount as reward beside the title to reward something so dedicated players. The title for me wont be enough, I dont need only confirmation that I am insane for doing this achivement, I know allready that I am ;D Dont expect nothing fancy like Frost Wyrm that will get gladiators in this season but something crazy and unique like Anzu mount or something like that. When you consider how much gold we need to spend on darkmoon faire reputatation and how much time we waste for getting other reputations to exalted I think its something that people deserve for getting this achievement.

on my server it costs around 5g, while the cheapest lvl 60 deck goes for 250g+
That's because scribes, for now, only make them to level. Once we figure out that they're for an incredibly desirable achievement? Through the roof, baby, through the roof.
On my server one guy is already spamming trade for level 60 cards and decks, stocking up for the patch. Watch the mats for all levels of cards go up too, like thorium widgets and the other stuff did back in the day.
Good luck with getting the title, guys, I won't be bothering.

Here's a small guide I wrote to help Rogues with some farming of lockboxes for the Ravenholdt rep grind. Credit to
panicka
and
herrojima
for educating me on LBRS vs BRD in terms of droprate, mob level and humanoid population.
Note that this is a speed & efficiency guide for rogues level 65+ and omits trash selling of looted greys (like books), food, Vanilla WoW gems and health potions etc. I destroy those items from my bag since the boxes are what I'm after and additional items like these tend to slow you down. I use level 65 as a reference, since at that level; you shouldn't be caught too often or at all regardless. If you're still having problems with being caught often,
some
points
in
Subtlety
and/or some +Stealth gear should help you out immensely:
Get 18 or 20 slot bags. You're gonna need all the space you can get. 20 is preferred. Spend the $$ and upgrade your bags if you can-the money will come back to you by the time you've done a sale of a few boxes.
Empty them all. You're not going to be fighting anything in here. Killing a humanoid will yield less loot. If you're caught/pickpocket resisted/detected: Vanish.
Keep your Hearthstone and a stack of Health Pots in your bags. You shouldn't need anything else. If caught - Vanish.
For maximum efficiency
- set (Horde) Hearthstone to Kargath. Sorry Alliance, I don't know your FP's. :(
Turn on
Auto-loot
in Interface options. You'll be one-button target/tapping all the way around.
Make a
macro
to Sap/Pickpocket mobs and bind it to a hotkey.
Suggestion -
I use
'Q'
since I move with WSAD.
Start from the front of LBRS and pickpocket your way around. Don't worry about getting into UBRS or killing the various mobs to open the doors. We're going for speed + time VS profit here. Clear the UBRS entrance room and keep going around.
PP your way through the instance up to Wyrmthalak at the end. If you still have bag space by this time - log out while in the instance and log back in. All pockets will have reset, you're standing next to the end boss so it's a matter of reversing your direction now - PP your way
out
now and you should have full bags by the time you've reached the entrance again.
If bags are full: hearth out to your nearest FP, head to a vendor and start opening those boxes. Remember to turn
OFF
Auto-loot before you begin or you'll lose everything from your boxes when they're opened. Remember to leave
at least one item
in them. Glyph of Pick Pocket (-100% cast time in Patch 3.1) practically shines here by reducing the time needed to open each box. Various vendor trash calculation mods are helpful here to see what's the highest seller of what items are in them. Congrats on any greens/blue/epics you may get in a box or two!
Using the mailbox at your nearest FP: mail all the boxes in bulk to your alt/bank character/customer, get back on the flight and head back to Thorium Point to begin a fresh run. Pockets will have respawned by the time you get back so you should be ready to collect again.
Happy pickpocketing everyone and good luck on your
achievement
!

I did this before it was considered an achievement, simply because I wanted to exalt every faction. it took me nearly a year to grind every exaltable faction to exalted. With that, here are a few tips I encountered.
THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE YOU START THE GRIND:
-If you plan on doing
Loremaster
at all, do this first before ANY GRIND, esp the bloodsail or steamwheedle grind. Quests for the steamwheedle faction give negative rep to bloodsail and took me from revered into mid honored when i did it. Had i not been revered, i may have fallen to friendly and had to go do extra work.
-Shendralar can be a rough grind if you dont have the pristines. I happened to have a few hundred from when I was 60 and bought them super cheap in hopes they would sell better one day. Now they sell at 50g+. One thing I would suggest however is that since you have 3 choices for librams, I would personally do Librams of Focus. The reason I would choose this (unfortunately in retrospect) is that any class can
solo farm Rivendares mount
. I got mine in 63 runs. During these runs, you have to kill a lot of abominations which drop a lot of frayed abomination stitchings. You can easily get a stack of 100+ abom stitchings and not have to worry about that part of the grind. in addition, enchanters can disenchant the items dropped in strat and have the required large brilliant shards as well.
-
ALWAYS do the bloodsail grind before steamwheedle
. I made this tragic mistake because I wanted to exalt any faction that could be exalted, and at the time, it was believed that bloodsail could only go to max honored. Plus I already had friendly/honored with those factions. Therefore, I full exalted all of steamwheedle, then did bloodsail which took all of those to full hated, and then had to grind them all back to exalted.
-
Troll the auction house
. This achievement is as much about cashflow as it is about wasting time. Neither of my professions helped for this grind, so I had to buy everything. When i did my grind, I had a list of items to look for on the AH and searched multiple times a day. In doing this, you can find cheap darkmoon cards for old world decks, librams, large stacks of shards, the occasional junkbox, rugged leather, etc. It took me about 9 months to buy all the cards to fully exalt darkmoon, and I never spent more than 300 for a completed deck, and usually I bought cards at less than 25g each. Elementals and Warlords are the decks you should focus. Old world decks are limited by the drop rate of the Ace, as it is the rarest card and always comes off a set mob/set of mobs. The warlords Ace drops from High King Maulgar, which is conveniently in DM North, which you should be farming for keys anyway. The elementals ace drops off many mobs, so it wouldnt be a problem to solo farm either.
-
Buy a Travelers Tundra Mount.
If you have the money, I would highly suggest buying it. It pays for itself in time. With the ability to zone out of an instance you are grinding and vendor everything you just shift clicked, you can easily make 20-50g per instance run. I made over 2k one night when grinding stratholme for the Rivendare mount. It is also much faster than vendoring trash in the library of DM north. It can easily make your DM runs go from 4 to 5 per hour. Also, the mount sells the thread needed for Gordok Ogre suits. Otherwise you will find yourself making a long run back to a vendor in Feralas.
-
Go into DM north prepared
. The keys in DM unleash a cache of leatherworking and tailoring supplies, which happen to give most of the materials for Gordok Ogre Suits. Keep in mind though that the materials in the cache are random, and although they can give Rugged Leather, you will tend not to get 8 rugged leather per cache. It helps to have 8 leather per run however to make 1 suit per run. Therefore you may want to buy a few extra stacks before entering DM. Also, make sure to buy your thread and get all Runecloth that you pick up along the way converted into bolts of runecloth.
For the Darkmoon Grind, you will need a &*!@ ton of money.
For the Steamwheedle grind, you will need a *!@# ton of time.
For the Ravenholdt grind, you will need a $%^& ton of Red Bull, stamina, and the ability to sacrifice personal relationships.

On a side note, you'll have good opportunities while working on the Gordok keys to kill the DM Arena Rare. Remember, it can spawn 4, 6 or 8 hours after the last killing. (i've prolly killed the rares at least 10 - 12 times, i keep track of the times.)

Many Steamwheedle quests don't decrease Bloodsail rep, right?
Are these
Booty Bay quests
, some of which also appear on the other Steamwheedle cities' pages, the only ones that decrease Bloodsail reputation? If I want Loremaster, should I just do these and
then
grind Bloodsail, minimizing the amount of times I have to do the Ogre suit quests, or should I do Loremaster first?

Also, this! Can anyone confirm this? Does the fact that he got Bloodsail rep last show that you get "The Insane" without all factions at once, but not by doing Bloodsail rep first?

Anyone else care to comment on this tactic?
If this works it would be genious, yet everyone still goes on about running DM over and over. No offense, but I'm a bit unwilling to plan my grinding based on the word of one single person.

Well, the thing is, while working on Bloodsail, you will lose reputation with all Goblin cities. So it's better to work on your Bloodsail reputation first, then Booty Bay and the other three.

Ok, so this is an alternative way I used for the Steamwheedle reputation, bear in mind that I tested this and it works, it also seems to be faster than farming DM North from Revered -> Exalted
So first of all the theory for this; I figured that (assuming you're at 0/36000 hated) you could start off farming Ratchet up to revered on the pirates, its pretty common knowledge by now that you'll get it at twice the speed of the spillover rep. When Ratchet hits revered you should be at 31500/63000 rep with the rest (63000 is the amount from hated 0/36k -> revered)
Now, what I do at this point is I move down to Gadgetzan and start farming the pirates there instead, once again common knowledge, Ratchet will now continue to go over revered at 2.5 rep per mob. So obviously, you now farm Gadgetzan untill it reaches revered. When Gadgetzan hits revered you should be 15750/21000 with Ratchet which means you're only missing 5250 rep untill it hits exalted, then just go back to Ratchet and farm the rest untill they catch up with it (Ratchet mobs are capped, you won't get any more rep with it up there you're just evening it out now).
Now for the last 5250 reps im gonna split it up into 2 ways since I realise not everyone is in the same situation as me, being a person who haven't done ANY quests with Ratchet, Everlook or Gadgetzan on the character earlier.
Way 1: If you have done the quests in Ratchet Everlook and Gadgetzan just skip down to the next paragraph, since this won't be possible for you. This method is simple, you just go to the towns and do quests there, this gives approx. 5000 rep. This means you'll need a total of ONE key run in DM north for exalted. Only condition is
be 100% sure that you are NOT doing a quest where Booty Bay is the main faction, if its tagged Gadgetzan Everlook or Ratchet, its ok, if its tagged Booty Bay, DO NOT DO IT, if its from the area but he's not tagged as any goblin faction, check this site or a similar one on the quest and see if you get most rep with Booty Bay, if you do, don't do the quest
Way 2: Its the basic method, just go to DM north and farm keys, 15 runs without ogre suits, 12 with.
Now the rest is just napkin math I did to check it, I've used this myself and can confirm that its worth it.
Revered -> Exalted = 63000 Reputation
63000/2=31500/2=15750
21000 - 15750 = 5250
5175:425 = 11.94 (Note that its less since I count in the extra rep from first time you turn in the suit)
5250:350 = 15.00
All I had to say, cheers

My toon grinded to honored with Bloodsail a couple years ago, and then I drove the rep back down to 0/36000 to fix my goblin rep. I have the Bloodsail Admiral Title. Do I have to regrind this rep again, or will the game remember?

There is a great section on how to raise rep with the Cartel here on Wowhead and yes, this tactic works. Basically; the goblin town you are closest to while killing pirates gives more rep per kill than the other towns.
So, when you reach the limit on one town, relocate to another area near to a different goblin controlled city and get the most bang for your kills. Read more on this on the in the
Booty Bay
section of Wowhead
Also, here's the exact play-by-play on how to build rep with the Cartel without losing
Bloodsail
rep, by
Marivel
Southsea Freebooters
: Give 5 Ratchet Rep until 11999 honored. 0 Ratchet Rep after. 2.5 spill over rep to all others through Exalted. Named mobs work the same except 25 rep and 12.5 spill over. (These pirates can be found along the coast south of Ratchet and north of NorthWatch Hold)
Venture Co.
: Give 5 Booty Bay until 11999 honored. 0 BB Rep after. 2.5 spill over rep to all others through Exalted. Named mobs supposedly work give 25 rep and 12.5 spill over, but I never found any. (These mobs can be found throughout STV, mostly west of Zul'gurub as well as East and slightly north of the Gurubashi arena, near a cave)
Wastewander
: Unconfimed rep at friendly. Do not give Gadgetzan Rep past Friendly. 2.5 spill over rep to all others through Exalted. (These pirates can be found in the desert east of Gadget)
Southsea Pirates
: Give 5 Gadgetzan rep until 11999 honored. 0 Gadget Rep after. 2.5 spill over rep to all others through Exalted. Named mobs give 25 rep and 12.5 spill over. (These pirates can be found in Lost Rigger Cove in Tanaris)
Venture Co. Evacuee
of Venture Bay in Grizzly Hills: As far as I can tell, these work the same way as the Venture Co. in STV. Take longer to kill, same rep, but they do drop loot from Northrend, such as Frostweave Cloth and various grays and greens between levels 70-73.
Again with the Zapped Giants Repeatable gives 25 rep for all Goblin Factions no matter what your rep is at.
Refuel for the Zapping Repeatable gives 25 rep for all Goblin Factions no matter your rep.
I have not found any mobs to give 5 everlook rep and spill over to the rest of the goblin factions.
This information is from a level 80 (Holy Priest) standpoint. None of the rep gained from these mobs will disrupt your BloodSail Buccaneer rep.

ofc if you arent a rogue you need to level one, and this will add another 160hours (leveling rate taken from 2 sites selling leveling service)
160h lol... you dont need 160 hours to lvl to 50-60
its easy to get to lvl50 in 2 days or 2 days and a half @played
if we talk about leveling to 60, it should take you one more day. that means 3 days @played aprox.
160h means 6.6666 days... if you are not quite used to leveling and you are not using any help (see brian kopp / johana mancow guides), it could take you even longer... but omg, i leveled my warrior as prot@pre3.0 (without sword and board or shield slam) and i spent 7 days... been an Absolut noob and spending almost all the time thinking about what to do next without any real idea of how the game works.
lets imagine this rogue is your second character and you leveled your first char years ago so you dont remember how to power level your character quite fast. in this situation im sure you'll spend 4-5 days leveling to 50-60 (5 days to 50 is Really easy). rogues are the fastest class to level if you know how to level them. if you dont know, they do nice dps and they are not hard to lvl at all.
that means you could spend 100h as an average if you are not used to leveling, or using a leveling guide plus questhelper/carbonite addon, 70-80h.
if you think any of this is wrong, just reply and tell what you think. all of this is based on my personal experience, so it could be absolutely wrong... or just a little bit mistaken. who knows! :P

For those who are beginning to think about this grind, be warned:
It will take a very long time
. I have been tracking my grind for it on my blog site,
http://www.insanewillpower.com/
and have reached maybe
1/10th
of the total grind, if that. I've done all the easy ones, such as grinding Ravenholdt to revered, Bloodsail to 11999/12000, and Darkmoon Faire to 2000/3000 Friendly and I'm already looking at
25 hours 35 minutes
of farming (yes, I'm actually timing it). Feel free to check out my blog though, as I leave various tips and ideas there, including examples of farming paths and statistics from actual experience.
Also, if you have the gold, buy yourself a
Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
. Trust me, it makes THE WORLD of difference sometimes.

I would have had this Feat finished long ago, but I decided to hit exalted w/ Bloodsail instead of stopping at honored. There should be something for that. I mean, the exalted Bloodsail grind is a difficult task in its own.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-reputation.xml?r=Blackwing+Lair&cn=Alterraia
Oh, and I started my Bloodsail grind about March 6th. I finished and hit exalted on April 16th, and finished this particular feat on May 10th. So, take how many days it is between March 6th and May 10th and subtract about 45 days (40 for the grind from 1 point under revered to exalted with Bloodsail and 5 days bc I took a break), and you'll figure out how long it took.

Just a thought, if you have
NOT
done Loremaster or have not done many quests that yield Steamwheedle Cartel rep. you should probably hold off on them till after you are done farming pirates to gain back your Booty bay rep (seeing as the majority of quests give a rep of some sort).
I'm slowly working on Loremaster and have been thinking about trying for this feat of strength and one day while working on Loremaster of Kalimdor I did a quest in Desolace giving me rep with all of Steamwheedle Cartel. I didn't think about it before hand till I had turned it in and got all the goblin rep >,< now, I'm not sure if you lose Bloodsail Buccaneer rep for doing quests yielding Steamwheedle Cartel rep since i'm 0/36000 Hated with those pirates. One would think you wouldn't since from what I've read so far, is that you lose rep from killing Bloodsail Buccaneers. But this is just a thought, hopefully its of some help for those trying to get their goblin rep back up.

I just completed this today, took about 10 weeks and 30k, totally worth it. Found that Shendralar was the most difficult of them due to the short supply of librams on the AH.
I levelled a rogue to 53 and had no problem with pickpocketing in Tyrs hand as Sub spec, you can clear out the lower lvl of the place in the time it takes for the pockets to reset - the cathedral building at the higher lvl has mobs 57+ so I avoided this area. Be careful not to die in one of the chapels tho, as theres a current bug which leaves you stuck in DK area til a GM can get round to you. There is also the odd rare 59elite spawning, just log your main and kill em.

Something to add before various people go mental on the Ravenholdt grind:
I tried Alterac Mountains
Arathi Highlands
and Durnholde Keep(with a ret paladin doing the same)
for the kill grind.
AM was around ~2.5k, AH 2-2.5k rep per hour.
DK we duoed 12k rep in exactly 1.5 hours - thats
8k/hour
yes.
Paladin took the lower area with the houses, myself as warlock circled around on the upper area.
I strongly suggest for anyone that needs to do the rep grind, either go there solo and do the lower area of DHK or take yourself a 2nd guy that does the grind and have even faster clearing.
Also, in the case of being enchanter:
/cast Disenchant
/use Dusksteel Throwing Knife
/script AcceptQuest()
/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1)
/script CompleteQuest(1)
/script GetQuestReward()
This will ease your life greatly.

Highly suggest farming the pirates in Venture Bay in Grizzly Hills, fastest respawn of all the places and the gold you gain is quite a lot (Avg 52g a hour atm). I'd say start here until exalted with all but Booty Bay then go south of Ratchet to farm exalted with Booty Bay. Get the most gold, and probably the best rep per hour. (Especially if you're in a group of 2+). Also great if you have a traveler's mammoth or have access to one, you'll make a killing off the greys/greens.

its a good advantage to be a human for this achievement as you get Diplomacy (10% extra rep) also a easy way to avoid losing rep with blood sail buccaneer's is to go to dust wallow marsh if you run out of places to quest... i did that from 35-42 on my human warrior and then ofc screwed up and lost rep on the escort chicken quest in Tanaris...

Well folks. I am almost done.
I am getting out of hated with Steam Cartel today. I would assume another 2-3 days of DM runs and I will have this stupid title! Insofar as gaining rep with Steam Cartel -- while killing the individual mobs may be easier out in ratchet and tanaris, DM is much more beneficial if you are an enchanter (which of course I am). I have made close to 5k-6k with the mats that I have gathered from 0/36k hated to Hostile.
I have to say that without a Rogue alt or a friend that ABSOLUTELY loves you, you will not be able to get through the Ravenholdt rep, therefore making the title impossible to get.
I will update when I have completed it.

I forgot if I posted this method, but I'll do it again just in case.
My way of farming Darkmoon Faire rep was simple. When the Faire was live, I stayed in Shattrath City (it was outside of there in May), and I had a macro that said something like "Paying 50g to turn in your Darkmoon Faire deck for you. The trinkets are BoE so you can get them right back. I'm only after the rep." Towards the end of the week, I upped it to 100g per turn in and I got MANY decks from this.
It sounds fishy but if you were scamming them and they weren't stupid, they could report you. A good way to convince them is that you mention that they can continue to sell the trinket when the Faire is gone, giving them an advantage over others who are stuck with the decks. Most players don't know the trinkets are BoE and many dont' know the difference between the trinket and the deck.
I believe this coming Faire in June is outside of SW, so if you're Horde, I suggest hiding in the water in SW so you can have access to trade chat.
This method saves you a lot of farming for low level decks and players will more than likely be after that free gold they get for letting you turn in their deck.
Some players will catch on and offer to sell the decks for a lot more. I was the only one doing it on my realm so I had the advantage, but unfortunately, I had random players saying I was scamming them, and I had no clue who they were, but thankfully the players who I did pay to turn a deck in for, they stuck up for me.
Oh, and one last thing. Be VERY careful with a Nobles Deck. I tried to avoid those honestly. If someone allows you to turn that in, make sure you double or even tripple check which of the four trinkets they want because more than likely, they will be stuck with whatever one you pick, and a GM might not be able to assist them since they were not the one who chose the reward. But then again, considering the situation, they might be of some assistance.
I hope this helps. : )

After a long & painful slog, I finally achieved this 20 minutes after the fair spawned in Goldshire. It was a long running race to be realm first with the guild leader of the top alliance guild hot on my heels. At the end of the day my OCD paid off & I got there first. I won't go into the details of the grind as they've all been well described in detail. All I can say is that if you are planning to do this. Be veerrrrry patient & hope that your guild & more importantly family & friends will be patient for you.
If you do get this achievement, I honestly believe you will have achievent by far the most coveted title in the game. All these heroic title just prove you have powerful friends. This title shows you are about as dedicated as you can get.
I kept a full log of the times I took, best places to grind. If anyone wants advice on doing this I'm more than happy to help.

As someone started to point out Dire Maul runs give the chance to drop librams. Also then consider the fact, that at the least, if you were able to buy all 3 librams, you would still need to make close to 30 dire maul trips anyway, just to turn them in.
Some math: To get reverred with Ratchet/Tanaris pirates you need to kill 42000 pirates.
(36000+3000+3000+3000+6000+12000+21000)/2.5 + (21000/2.5)=42000
Also, not even mentioned is the spawn rate. Especially in ratchet, when I attempted it, I was beating the spawn timer frequently.
In the end though, my suggestion, is to gather up all the mats needed for turn ins for librams (I started by farming 20 of each libram worth of mats) and just carry them with you in DM. As they drop you turn in them. And for me personally, getting 84000/350=240 keys to drop isn't as bad as killing 42000 pirates. You can also lessen the number of keys by carrying the runecloth bolts, leather and thread with you. There is an ogre tanin in every dire maul, and each key box can drop them. So you can surpass the previously said 2175 rep an hour.

I'm working on this now (lock) and am doing the DM runs for exalted goblin rep. I can d/e as well, so I can sell the mats on the AH. But the easiest way for me, I dragged my bf (warrior) along. We'd kill everything until 1-2 keys drop. I take the 1st key drop, free the goblin, then go back and get the 2nd key. Reset, repeat...
I tried the ratchet pirates, but running around in circles make my head hurt, so I stop. Plus, all the lowbies who are there that actually need the mobs... Tried Tanaris and same thing w/ running around in circles. =/
I guess it's just preference...

As being on a Oceanic Realm - for the past week I've been working on getting the Darkmoon Faire reputation up to Exalted. I failed to done so but - I was only four decks away til Exalted.
Seeing another method of getting this reputation up; I offered people every day on trade literally spamming my macro every 3mins to offer 100g per deck turn in. Now in the first days, it dragged much attention and spam that I'm a scammer etc but luckly for me some people don't understand the term defamation - which brought a easy GM ticket.
Whilst doing the Darkmoon Faire reputation, the NPC which offers
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=19422
can give you 75 Reputation (4/29 chance) which can boost your reputation slowly if need be.
So in the first days I offered 75g, then 100g and I had many people craft decks and help me. All I done for the macro was:
"xxxx is going for "Insane in the Membrane"! Assist me by letting me trade in your Darkmoon Faire Decks! I get my rep, you get your trinket plus 100g per deck/s! PST for info :)"
I had to explain the achievement many, many - MANY times and cop with spam which was fine for some nice people who know that this is. This achievement is very worth it and I ended up on 19617/21000 Revered and most likley just use
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=37163
to hit Exalted.

Finally finished the goblins a few days ago. I personally have to go with Dire Maul if you're working on Steemwheedle. I've gotten about 75/84 of the librams I need along the way and I'm confident I can find the rest on the AH.
Pirates north of Ratches definately gives faster rep but it gets insanely (lol) boring fast. The respawn time is practically instant in this area and you can kill Baron Longshore for 25 rep 3 times within a minute if you catch him. I dug myself out of Hated for Ratchet here before I went to Dire Maul.

The following link is an extensive guide on how to obtain the "Insane in the Membrane" Feat of Strength which rewards "the Insane" title.
The guide is approximately 7700 words and encompasses every aspect of obtaining the title.
FoS Guide - By Callahan of Ysera-US
The guide is as accurate as I was able to make it. Any mistakes should be pointed out here, or by whispering me in game.
Please rate up if this was of any use to you!
I found a few errors in this guide in section 2.2.2 – Running Dire Maul as follows;
Don't bother killing King Gordok, hes useless. He is not a guard so he doesn’t drop the key.
He does drop Librams, and items which can be disenchanted for the quests of said Librams.
You can't sneak between the wall and the ogres by the Ogre Tannin Basket. It is not possible without stealth.
This information is inaccurate if said player character is level 80. The player simply should hug the left wall from the ramp. From the left wall the tannin basket would be on the player's right, which is easily lootable without aggroing the ogres.

I can confirm that currently (June 17, 2009) you DO NOT need all factions simutaniously.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-reputation.xml?r=Hyjal&cn=Ny&gn=Advent+Fury
As can be seen on my profile my Bloodsail is a bit into honored (want to fill at least the Honored bar up anyways, then ponder the meaning of my life and the meaning of the life of the goblin in Badlands/that hidden harbor place) and my goblins are completely bottomed out, but I just got my Insane title yesterday.
I was exalted with the goblins when I started on Bloodsail Buccaneers a couple days. You can see that I have the Exalted title on Ny and my paladin, Nya, but they are at 39 and 36 exalted reps after thrashing Booty Bay. Last night I hit honored with Bloodsail and was unexpectedly hit with the achievement announcement. Actually kinda made it really anti-climatic. No build up of excitement, no chance to start singing Cypress Hill in guild right before my last kill. Granted I wasn't exactly looking forward to doing the goblin grind from 0 -- doing all of revered was plenty enough fun... though we all know what rep-nuts end up doing anyways...
Well I'll have another chance to sing with my paladin!
(Nya's rep)
Didn't get a chance to be first to insanity on the server, think am about fifth or so (grats Branical, Sereke, Aislenn, and I thought I remember seeing at least one other running about), but maybe I can be the first sicko with two insane characters! Still quite a few librams and junkboxes to go.
Misc low/highlights of this insane adventure so far:
I see an apparently afk 80 NE hunter standing around Booty Bay, flagged (blue server). I suck at pvp so I hesitate, even with two characters, but not too much to lose when all the guards are *already* attacking me! So my priest melts his face. A nearby human sees this and decides this is his chance. He proceeds to teabag the night elf for a while.
Got one of my accounts suspended from the forums for joining in on someone's thread who was buying junkboxes for 1g. I was about 1000 junkboxes through revered Ravenholdt at this point, all farmed with my own rogue (who was leveled specifically for that purpose), so still needed about 500 needed for her and another 1500 for my paladin. Frankly, having read about and seen for myself the success rate in Tyr's Hand, BRD, BRS, etc I find 1g to be almost offensive. I post a reply that I'll pay 5g each, buying 2000. Woot high bid I think to myself. Granted 10k gold is an absurd amount of money to spend on such things, as I knew and was of course soon informed of by my fellow concerned community members, but hey, money = k * time. Your k may vary. I was also informed that I was a gold buyer and that "back in the day" you had to make a rogue yourself. Also, that buying your achievement didn't make it much of an achievement. I understand the idea, and it certainly applies I think to things like Gladiator and rewards that take skill. Insane doesn't take skill - just time, patience, willpower, and perhaps social issues and phobia to sunlight. I don't think I'd feel too bad about buying some junkboxes when I think back on and look forward to more riding around plaguelands for hours looking for blood, flipping strat/scholo/dm for hours, leveling a rogue, hitting ambush instead of pickpocket again, leveling inscription, mindlessly slaughtering thousands of pirates, etc. If anything "cheapens" my title it was not having to redo goblins from scratch and lucking out by only disenchanting 3 berserker cards before noticing they weren't bop anymore and cheerfully realizing I could get back most if not more than the 30000-40000g I'd spent on Darkmoon Faire exalted x2. I really do feel a little bad for the people who finished that one before the change. The truly insane are those (or that one guy) who did it pre-tbc or pre-inscription. But anyways, my "buying 2000 for 5g each" post got me suspended from the forums for a day for trolling. My response to convey my confusion and disbelief using my second account got that account banned from the forums for circumventing a suspension. Stubborn and not particularly bright, and still in disbelief at what had taken place, I bumped the thread the next day with my working-again first account. This got me a week-suspension and final warning against that account. Pretty funny overall, and no one even sold me any junkboxes!
Speaking of banned. My priest account was actually banned for "use of third party programs" last year, well before this achievement came out, but when I was working on Timbermaw and goblin rep in DM. I'm not sure which of these places triggered it, but apparently doing the same thing over and over for hours flagged me as a bot. Yet my paladin account, there with me and active the whole time, on the same computer, wasn't banned. Took a couple weeks and a lot of emails, but got my priest back, thank goodness. Of course as soon as I had both up and running I was right back in Felwood and DM again. "Didn't learn your lesson, did you?" my friend tells me.
While doing argent tourney dailies an hour or so after getting the title I get my first random tell:
Random: "Where did you get that?"
Ny: "My title?"
Random: "Huh?"
Ny: "Get what?"
Random: "Where do you get a lance at?"
=(
Guess better to sit on my troll's white raptor if I'm feeling attention deprived! =p

This Macro Will Save You HOURS!
/console set targetnearestdistance 10
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast pick pocket
Set the first line to '5' if you dont have Glyph of Pick Pocket
Basically, have auto loot on and walk up to any mob and it will pickpocket it, if you spam this button while moving around a group of mobs it will pickpocket them all, very fast.
You might notice your chat log saying you've looted the same mob more then once, you really havent, it is just confused because you are changing targets so fast.
Just keep spamming the button, and it will pickpocket whichever mob youre closest to.
Have fun farming your heavy junkboxes!

It doesn't cost very much to get inscription to the level that you can make
Rogues Deck
so if you have an extra alt just make them an inscriber. Or if you're like me and never got around to making a death knight, make one of those and have them be an inscriber. It's worth the modest amount of money to reach skill 110 just to save having to bother your inscriber friends to make these for you.

Ok, this is what ive got for the darkmoon faire:
Rogues decks are approximately three mysterious tarots, and to make the 1440 decks youll need 4320 light parchment, and 2880 bruiseweed/stranglekelp. Why the herbs? It is because you need them to make the hunter's ink and midnight ink for the tarots. Also, for the daily darkmoon faire quests, the thorium widget quest needs 6 thorium widgets, which means for each widget quest turn in youll need 18 bars of thorium and 6 runecloth (easily farmable from stratholme), and an engineer friend or alt. For the quest armor kits where you turn in eight rugged armor kits you'll need to find a skinner friend, or if you do it yourself you can kill gordok mastiffs from DM which drop 1-2 rugged leather when skinned. 5 rugged leathers makes 1 rugged armor kit, so you'll need forty rugged leathers per quest turn in. You can also kill frenzied plaguehounds from the northern part of the Eastern Plaguelands which usually drop rugged leather when skinned (about 80% chance). i hope this helped.

Quick summary of my work so far, and what I plan to do.
Bloodsail
- Pretty straight forward. You have to select "At War" with Booty Bay and a couple hours of grinding later you'll be at honored. With the feedback from Blizzard, if you have decent Goblin reputations, I would get them to exalted first, then do Bloodsail. The Bloodsail grind goes very fast and should be one of the first things you do for this achievement. Would also recommend grinding your Goblin rep back to at least neutral as the 2nd thing you do, as it makes traveling a lot easier if you use any of the goblin towns for any reason. More on that below.
Darkmoon Faire
- From neutral to friendly you can do their repeatable quests, there are a LOT of them to choose from. Easiest for me was Rugged Armor Kits. After about 1300/6000 to Honored you will need to turn in decks of cards for rep. For this I had my DK alt pick up inscription, you need to be at 110 I believe to start making the Rogue cards. It's very quick to get inscription up, and much better than having to have someone else do it, because as mentioned you will need 1440 decks, which is 4320 cards.... You will also need a toon that can farm Stranglekelp/Bruiseweed, as they are the easiest and most abundant to find. I personally use Stranglekelp, and farm in the Wetlands off the west coast. Stranglethorn Vale and Westfall coasts are also great farming places. Also, Rogue decks/cards are rarely ever on the AH, so don't bother looking. Another option for those with a bit of money to invest, is to buy the lv. 60-80 decks of cards or make them. As each turn in is 350 rep. These decks range anywhere from 300 to 5000g, and the trinkets associated with them are now Bind on Equip, meaning you can buy the deck, turn it in, then put the trinket back on the Auction House in hopes of getting most of your investment back. You will need roughly 100 or so of these decks from friendly to exalted if you choose this route. Obviously most people will use a combination of the two, whichever are readily available. You can also camp nearby the Darkmoon Faire areas when it's in town and offer to pay people gold for them to let you turn in their deck for rep then give them the trinket back. If the Faire is at the opposing faction's territory, Mulgore/Elwynn Forest, you can still interact with the NPC's and turn in items like normal, just be wary of the opposing faction present. You can also easily sneak into Stormwind/Thunderbluff without much trouble to have access to Trade Chat to advertise offers for turning in decks for people, yet still be very close to the Faire.
Shen'dralar
- Really straight forward here. They reside inside Dire Maul in Feralas. To get rep you will need to turn in Librams that are dropped off mobs in Dire Maul (North, East and West) . These are Libram of Protection, Focus, and Rapidity. Each Libram requires certain materials to be turned in. Each will require 1 Pristine Black Diamond, a few Large Brilliant Shards, as well as one of the following depending on which Libram you have. Abomination Stitching, Blood of Heros or Skin of Shadow. The Librams are Unique items so you can only carry 1 of each Libram in your bag or your bank at any given time. Because of this, you will probably want to have a 2nd or 3rd toon on follow when you are farming Dire Maul for these, as you may see 3 or 4 of the same Libram drop in one run, and you would be forced to leave them on the corpses...
These Librams can be found on the Auction House, although rarely. When I have gathered a bunch on the 2 toons I use to farm, I mail them to an alt toon, then mail them back to myself and leave them in the mail for later. The Librams are turned in to Lorekeeper Lydros in Dire Maul. You will need about 86 Librams to get to exalted. I farmed the Auction House for the diamonds, and came across plenty of the shards while farming Stratholme for the Baron's Deathcharger.
Ravenholdt
- A long grind to start this faction. I recommend going to Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad to farm the Syndicate there. You can kill them up to 11999/12000 just shy of Revered. You can farm about 4k rep an hour largely dependant on class. From there to Exalted you will need to turn in Heavy Junkboxes at the Ravenholdt camp. These boxes only come from pick-pocketing mobs around Lv 50-60. You must obviously use a Rogue for this. If you have a friend that will let you do this you are lucky, I leveled a rogue via "Refer a Friend" to accomplish this. I recommend doing farming circles in Tyr's hand in SE Eastern Plaguelands. Careful if you die over here, it can put you in the DK starting zone and you will need a GM to get you out. You will need 1405 junkboxes for 281 quest turn ins to gain exalted from revered...
Steamwheedle Cartel-
This is comprised of the 4 Goblin cities, Everlook, Gadgetzan, Booty Bay and Ratchet. If you are honored/revered to start with, I would recommend getting them to exalted first, then go do Bloodsail. I did bloodsail first, so my Goblin city rep's were all hated. On the flip side, you will be hated once you finish Bloodsail, meaning catching a FP to or from these Cities will be near impossible, so most will be grinding back to neutral after they get done with this achievemnt anyways. Two ways of doing this:
A) Farm Pirates close to the various Goblin cities (except for bloodsail for obvious reasons). They give 5 rep per kill to the closest Goblin town, and 2 or 3 to the rest. This method can take days upon weeks to grind, as most will have to grind 36k rep to get back to neutral with the goblin cities, if you had already done the Cartel quests, then you are in for a whole lot more grinding of these guys... It's the most boring, agonizing part of this achievement.
B) There is a goblin in Dire Maul North, he gives a repeatable quest everytime you do Dire Maul called "Free Knot!" . To do this you will need to find the key to his shackles. Practically any Ogre in DM North can have it on them. I read and saw that people say these keys are pretty rare and hard to find, and this is very time consuming. I disagree. Every run I have done so far I have found the key within 5 min, and often times find a 2nd key on my way out to reset the instance. This quest gives 350 rep to all Goblin cities, and he leaves a small crate on the ground with all sorts of goodies in it. he has a 2nd quest to make an Ogre suit, It gives 75 rep to all goblin cities, and is repeatable as many times as you have mats for. Obviously you will have to do this one before you release him. The "Ogre Tannin" is found in a small basket up the stairs from where you find Knot. You get 1 per run, so collect a bunch then bring in a ton of mats to do the quest a lot at once. The other big upside of doing your Goblin rep this way is the chance of getting Librams off mobs that you are killing for the key. So killing 2 birds with 1 stone, also all the greens can be DE'd later on for a nice profit on the mats. "Free Knot" plus "Ogre Suit" quests net me 460 rep (human), so all total I will have done this about 80 times to get back to neutral with the goblin cities, largely depending on how far hated you are after bloodsail.
Will continue to add more as I progress through this achievement and respond to feedback/questions. Thanks for reading :D

I have decided to run DM North in order to raise the Cartel reps. It's a very long process. The shackle key dropped about 80% of the time but expect some frustrating series of unlucky runs as well.
I am doing it this way for the sole reason that librams for the Shen'dralar rep are almost unavailable on the AH on my server. On top of that, they sell between 80g and 175g per at the moment. I don't have time to camp the AH for this and 80 librams times an average of 100g is 8000g (which I don't want to spend on this).
If you plan on doing this, here are a few tips:
a) Get a Kirin Tor ring: I ran back and forth from Dalaran for approximately the first 40 runs. I ended up wasting more time travelling to DM than running it... believe me, this is a good investment.
b) Get speed increase enchant/talent: As a pally, i took Pursuit of Justice as an example. You know it's going to be long but you don't have to make it longer on purpose...
This is for pallys doing it (how I'm doing it): I'm prot specced, naxx25 geared.
Enter the instance, down the ramp, kill Mol'gar.
Avoid patrols, go loot Fengus's chest.
Kill Fengus
Move on west and open the courtyard door
Avoid all patrols
Turn the gordok suit quest
Free Knot (don't forget to loot knot's cache)
Move on to the first floor and loot the tannin
Continue til you reach Captain Kromcrush
Kill Kromcrush but keep the 2 guards he spawns alive.
Run all the way back to the entrance, avoiding all patrols and groups of mobs
The spawns will bring around 30 mobs with them right to you.
Kill them all, loot, rinse, repeat.
Doing this, I often get one of the 3 Librams, a Pristine Black Diamond (rarely) and the Gordok Shackle key (often). Takes 12 to 15 minutes per run. I am also looting the Tannin every single run. You can get 1 or 2 more in Knot's cache for a potential of 225 rep per run just for the Ogre suit quest. It's also less frustrating when you don't get the shackle key. At least, you are still progressing.

This is totally wrong , i achieved this feat of strength while being hated by all goblin factions. I also achieved The Exalted title shortly after WOTLK arrived in stores. Apparently by doing this , it flagged them as being already achieved. Doubters , look me up on Exodar server , although i will still grind out both bloodsail and regrind all the Cartel factions back to exalted. I have proven it can be done otherwise than having them all done simultaneously.

Ah yes, 281 turn ins for Ravenholdt, 5 boxes a piece, I knew I wrote that wrong lol. I knew my original post needed some adjustments.
And as far as goblin rep and bloodsail and if you need them at the same time. I know there is some discrepancy being discussed but I think it comes down to "when" he was exalted with the goblin cities, as blizzard has not been tracking such things since release. If you are exalted now, it would be safe to say that you could get the achievement w/ goblins as hated.

you are all missing out one important thing considering the goblin cities and the bloodsails rep.
in front of all 4 goblin cities there is a traitor that gives you an unlimited repetitive quest wanting linen cloth, rune cloth and so on. heres the link to the traitor in gadgetzan:
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=16417
if you do that quest you get 500 rep with that city and 250 rep for the other 3 cities BUT you also lose 500 rep with bloodsails. now why is that quest still good for the insane in the membrane achievement? its simple, dont farm bloodsail rep up to 1/12000, go for 11999/12000 instead. by the time you hit 1/12000 you are probably already fully on hated with all the 4 goblin cities so if you kill more of those you will just get reputation with bloodsails but no more bad rep with the goblins as you are their nightmare already.
now you can kill that goblin that gives 5 rep with bloodsails once and then you have 12000 rep from bloodsail to turn in for rep with the goblins because with 1/12000 you are just as honored as you are with 11999. lets put this in numbers:
12000 overrep / 500 reploss =24quests --> you can turn in those items 24 times and still be honored with bloodsails.
turning it in once gives you 1250 rep overall so thats 312.5 rep if you split it up equally and do all 4 traitor quests 6 times.
1250*24=30000 rep which is 7500 rep for each city or if you prefer gadgetzan in order to turn in that Wastewander Water Pouch, its 12000 rep for gadgetzan and 6000 for all the others.
its a lot easier to kill BB-bruisers for 12k bloodsail rep than killing a zillion lvl 40 pirates for 30k rep, but of course you can only do this once.

Currently, you do NOT need to be exalted with the cartel when it dings, however i would say you needed to be exalted w/ cartel at some point.

I just finished this last night and would like to contribute my two cents on a couple of things. This is not broken up by faction (as somebody already has a nice guide for that above), but rather sort of a non-linear way to think about what you need to do.
You have to be ready to spend some money to do this (or it will take forever), so the real key is to make some money as you go.
For the Bloodsail just group with other people doing this. Not only is it easier to kill mobs in groups, but more spawn when more of you are attacking.
For the Goblins, I spent most of my time outside of Ratchet until revered. Not only did this go fast, but I also helped power level a couple of friends. One note: even though we want to think about making money, it's not really worth looting here. Tell a friend or even a random stranger to just follow you, put the loot on FFA, and let them collect the exp and the loot. My toon is a Mage, and I just used ice lance, and kept going in a big circle. Never had to stop (expect for some herbs and chests), never ran out of mana (mage armor), and this got done fast.
For Ravenholdt i borrowed a friends rogue (he quit wow, so I payed for his account for a month) and lived in LBRS/UBRS. I couldn't get one rogue on my server to farm them, so you need to have access to a rogue, even if you level one up yourself to 60ish.
For the Shen'dralar, you wan to start looking to the AH as soon as you start working on this achievement. You want to be looking for the books obviously, but start scanning for Pristine Black Diamonds, and good deals on rugged leather, LBS, and runecloth. You won't find the PBD on the AH all the time, or at reasonable prices, so start early.
Before you head into DM to start doing key runs (which i recommend for the profit you can make), you should spend some time in Strath/Scholo and EPL/WPL. You want to have at least a stack or two of the Stitchings/Blood of Heroes/Skin of Shadow before you go to DM.
Once in DM, remember that while the guards have a higher drop rate then other mobs on the key. If a key drops, then make a b-line for the goblin, so you can turn in and reset, but still kill the guards. Not only will you get more blues and greens to DE and sell, but they may also drop a second key. If a second key drops, go directly to the goblin and free him, then go back and get the key before it despawns. Then the next time into DM, you get to go right to the goblin, only stopping to kill the bosses, then you can farm for the key. Once the key is turned in though, you don't have to reset. You can keep killing mobs until another key drops, or you clear the place out, then go reset.
Also, always pick up the Tannin from Upstairs, and find out where
A dusty Tome
are located, as you can sometimes get a
book that sells well
.
Also if you get a Libram, go right to the Library and turn it in, as you can only have one in your inventory at a time, and if a second Libram of .... drops you'll be sad when it goes to waste. Once your goblin rep is done, I recommend going to DM east and west for farming Librams, if not just to get some herbs from the mobs, and for a change of scenery.
The best way to get your DMF rep up is to either be a scribe, or have a scribe friend. I started out herbing myself, which is fine to get started, but once you make a few noble card or two SELL THEM. They sell for anywhere from 500-1300 on my server right now. If you sell yourself a couple of those, you can use that money to buy the herbs and life you need. I had a bank toon that just had all my DMF stuff (lvl 60/70/80 decks) as well as the mages/swords/demons/rogues. Right from the start, keep your eye out for good deals on cards, and keep your bank alt organized. If you have 17 of the Three of Beasts, don't buy anymore.
So if you spend 2000 gold on herbs and and life, and you make three nobles cards out of that you not only make your money back, but you get other cards you need as well. While death adder/lichbloom/icethorn have the best drop rate for the pigment for Snowfall ink, don't' be afraid to buy the cheaper herbs. You can use the ink trader to trade 10 ink of the sea for a snowfall ink. Didn't seem worth it at first, but you make so much Ink of the sea, it doesn't matter that much.
Once you get yourself plenty of money, you can stop posting the nobles cards and start making decks to sell (I would mix it up with the actual greatness cards you get so you can sell a variety). I made a ton of gold selling nobles cards, and the trinkets you get from the cards that let me buy more herbs and Eternal life faster. Now that I'm done with the achievement I'm about 2k less then where I started (the DMF left Monday, so I spent a lot of time/money buying herbs and decks for the low level decks to get my last 2k rep) but I have about 10k worth of stuff listed in the AH, and probably another 5K worth of extra cards I didn't make decks with yet, so it's going to be profitable in the end. Remember you can turn in the swords/mages/rogues/demons anytime, but the big decks can only be turned in during the DMF. Also you can only carry one level 60 trinket at a time, so you'll have to go back and fourth if you have multiple decks.
Don't forget to check the vendor lady next to the guy you are turn the cards into. She always sells herbs/motes/primals that you can buy cheap AND sometimes something nicer like Arctic Furs for 10 gold.
Sorry for the long winded post, but the key to get this fast is to make money while doing this all , AND not be afraid to spend money to make it happen. Just make sure when you turn in your last deck, you do it in the center of Org, and all your guildies are online!

Some quests that give Steamwheedle Cartel reputation, does not lower your Bloodsail Buccaneers standing. If you -like me-, started to do all quest for the Loramaster Achievement before doing Bloodsail->Steamwheedle, then it's good to know, which quests you must not do:
WANTED: Baron Longshore
Southsea Freebooters
and its follow-ups
I just done this two when noticed this and banged my head agains the wall.. If you can complete the Loremaster without these, than it's some free reputation towards your Isane title. Be sure to check every Steamwheedle quest on wowhead.
I will update the list if I find more quests (I list quests that, according to their wowhead page, does not lower your Bloodsail reputation)
Ledger from Tanaris
Root Samples
(Herbalist only quest)
Deepmoss Spider Eggs
Raptor Horns
and its followup
Blueleaf Tubers
Volcanic Activity
Ziz Fizziks
and its follow-ups
Are We There, Yeti?

Well one of the biggest debates here is how to handle grinding the goblin rep. Your choices are DM runs, or killing pirates.
As clearly noted by the loot log above, you will make a ton of money doing DM runs, especially if you have an enchanter somewhere to sell the DE'd mats. You will also be getting librams, leather, runecloth and large brilliant shards which you need for the librams/ogre suits, which will also save you money.
If you kill pirates, you are most likely not going to waste time looting them, as they are low level and drop nothing of value anyways. I think someone figured it up to be about 120g if you looted the thousands of pirates you will have to kill, but that will easily triple the amount of time this task will take, and is obviously not worth the hassle.
Some math behind this grind:
If you have very lucky, fast DM runs, you can still only do it 5 times per hour. Assuming you turn in the Ogre Suit quest once each run as well, I would be netting 2,300 rep per hour (human) . Fact of the matter is that you will most likely have to empty your bags at least once during that time, which involves a 10-15 min hike back thru Feralas to the nearest vendor/mailbox. Assuming no stellar drops, I will make at least 200g for my efforts. So 2,300 rep and 200g per hour in Dire Maul North.
Killing pirates. Either outside Ratchet or in Tanaris. You have an unlimited amount of rep you can get per hour. To beat the 2,300 rep per hour, you only need to kill 8 pirates per minute, as the pirates give 5 rep to closest goblin town, and 2 or 3 to the rest. That is EASY to do as an 80. You could go as far to say that you could kill 20+ per minute assuming a steady respawn rate, which would be twice as fast as DM runs. Only trade off being your not going to make any gold doing it.
To each their own when picking which strategy to use. Your going to have to farm DM at some point anyways, but then again it very well may be worth it to super grind back to honored/revered in a few hours and then commence the DM runs later on when you need to.
Lastly, in regards to rogues and pickpocketing. I have quickly discovered that Tyr's Hand is a horrid place to farm these if you are not 70+ . My poor 55 rogue has yet to successfully pickpocket any mob in Tyr's Hand because they are all Elites... No bueno lol

I just finished this Feat tonight, for the long Goblin grind I chose to grind pirates until Ratchet/Gadzeton Revered. One thing that helped break up the monotony for Dire Maul is you can do select quests in Barrens, Winterspring, Desolace for goblin rep without hurting your Bloodsail Rep. But other than that all my goblin rep was Dire Maul turn ins. Mainly the Key. Today I ran Dire Maul for approx 8 hours and out of that had 7-8 key runs with no keys dropping at all :( Takes me about 15 mins to clear DM as prot paladin.
Here's my armory ..
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Twisting+Nether&n=Clo%C3%BCd
a tip for those farming Ravenholdt, the mobs inside LBRS are excellent source to pickpocket. I had a rogue pre-bc at level 60 so I leveled him to 68 and then began farming lockboxes.
Good luck to those of us who have no lifes to achieve this.. from start to finish took me 10 weeks or so.

To match DM rep gain, you would need to kill 560 mobs per hour if you don't do the quest and 680 mobs per hour if you do the quest. This alone seems like they're equally efficient, but having spent MANY hours farming pirates and venture co. goblins, I know that respawn times start to become noticeable VERY quickly. Also, DM has Libram drops, Darkmoon Faire card drops, and if your character that you're farming this title on is a rogue there are tons of Heavy Junkboxes to be had. Also, by doing DM runs your Cartel rep stays the same for each faction, whereas farming pirates will leave you with Exalted Gadgetzan and 0/3000 neutral with Booty Bay, Ratchet, and Everlook, which is just demoralizing and annoying.
I'm sorry but your whole post is full of misinformation..
I've been grinding pirates for the past couple of days and I can say it is 100% the best option to take. This is my tactic: I am mage using a standard pve fire build, I use mage armour while grinding so with my spec I have 100% mana regen in combat. I havn't tailor made a spec / gearset for grinding or anything, just went out there and grinded.
I farm the pirates just south of ratchet. There are afew reasons for this being the best spot..
1) The respawn rate is incredible, they pretty much spawn as soon as you have killed them, I don't know how people are coming up with low spawn rates but my conclusion is your just doing it wrong.
2) They are level 15 mobs, This is a HUGE factor which i'm suprised no one has mentioned yet. It only takes one icelance to kill them, therefore im constantly moving while killing them. I tried farming in tanaris but having to stop and cast for 3 seconds makes it much slower. I can kill
two
mobs in Ratchet for 6 rep (for all the goblin towns), faster than I can kill
one
mob in tanaris for 6 rep (only with Gadgetzan) so go figure ;-)
3) Finally because of the above reasons the rep gains are far far better than anywhere else. I'm killing 25+ mobs per minute... (one mob per second some of the time, with only 6 seconds downtime to evocate for mana every 3 minutes or so. Maybe it's my gear but I don't need to drink at all) While getting ratchet to revered that was 9000 rep per hour and 4500 for the other goblin towns.
Using your method of calculating it for each faction..
1750 rep * 4 factions = 7000 rep/hour (without Gordok Ogre Suit)
2125 rep * 4 factions = 8500 rep/hour (with Gordok Ogre Suit)
Farming pirates gives:
Before Ratchet revered: 9000 rep*1 (for ratchet) + 4500*3 (for the other three towns) = a whopping 22500 rep/hour (more than three times faster than DM runs...)
Ratchet Revered: 4500*3 = 13500 rep/hour (Still alotttt faster than DM runs, and that is with only 3 rep per kill)
As you can see, even using your perfect drop chance of at least one key every run (killing all the mobs to try and get this would probably take longer than 12 minutes anyway.. and won't give you a 100% drop chance, there is still a chance you don't get any rep for a whole run. But i'll give you the benefit of the doubt.) The pirate farming method is far superior.
Of course you have to take into account the libram drops (I won't even include black diamonds.. the drop chance is so low I havn't even seen one in over 30 runs..), That's why once i'm revered with each faction I'm going to move to DM runs to push up to exalted. So I get the best of both worlds, while doing the grind more than three times faster than I would by farming DM.
Also you don't get exalted with one faction and neutral with the others. Right now im Ratchet revered and friendly with the other three, Considering even getting rep for only three factions is still faster than DM runs, I'll do this untill all 4 are revered and then I'll move to DM runs at which time all four will reach exalted at the same time.
I certainly don't think getting exalted more than three times faster is "demoralizing and annoying" :)

and then some after a while you can't get more rep time to move on
Second
Kill
Waste Wanderers
out in Tanaris Desert (don't fly take portal from Dalaran to Caverns of time aka C.O.T) Save all
Wastewander Water Pouch
that you find they are turned in once you can which is at Neutral with gadgetzan to
Spigot Operator Luglunket
and do this till i don't get rep from kills anymore which is honored
Third
Kill
Southsea pirates
south of Ratchet till no more rep can be had. at this point pushing till honored with ratched made gadgetzan hit revered do to flow over rep
Forth
Kill Venture Company employees that only reside in
Stranglethorn Vale
or
Grizzly hills
till i can't get anymore rep. (honored)
Fifth
Kill
The Syndicate
till i can not get more rep.( just before revered)
Sixith
then i will have a rogue friend help get
Heavy Junkboxes
for the quest
Junkboxes Needed
these he can pickpocket from and
Gordock
inside Diremaul where inside we can collect the 3 out of 8 Librams you can turn in for rep to rep up with
Shen'dralar
as well as do
Free knot!
and
The Gordok Ogre Suit
as well as Saving and
Darkmoon Faire Cards
as they drop
Finally
As I'm doing all the above steps inbetween raids, I can play my alt that is a incriptionist and make all the
darkmoon faire rep decks
using herbs from chests and drops as well as farming some

I think people are spending far too much time worrying about how they'll handle the Bloodsail Buccaneers/Cartel grinds. To me, this was by far the easiest of all the grinds, and certainly not the most interesting grind. What takes more thought and calculating are the Darkmoon Faire and Shen'dralar reps, especially for people who, like me, have not had these reps up on their characters at all.
From what I've seen and read, it appears as if farming and buying the herbs to create/turn-in the 1440 Rogues Deck's might be the most efficient way to do it. I wonder what others think about this. But if I make a single nobles deck from farming northrend herbs, I can use that gold to buy a lot of lowbie herbs.
For Shen'dralar it's just a lot of AH farming to make sure you pick up the librams and pristine diamonds. I'm getting closer to my title, but I still have at least another month or two before I actually hit it.
Good luck to everyone!

Hi,
Can anyone please confirm that they have used an engineer mailbox inside an instance in DM north to return the Libram Quests for Shen'dralar rep?
I Have seen this mentioned in some places but i have gotten the picture you cant use these indoors.
Can anyone comfirm do the Engineer mailboxes work for this? As this would significantly ease the process of turning in the quest items.

Here is my recommendation for the grind. It took me only about a month and a half from start to finish for the title, and in the long run I ended up spending only 2,000 to 3,000 gold. It also helped that I did my farming between 12 midnight and 6:00 am. I don't know about other servers, but any attempts during the day to run an instance will get you nothing but "Additional instances cannot be launched. Please try again later".

I went for this one first. It was the easiest part of the achievement and it gave me a nifty title to wear while I was farming DM. My friend Earthshaper and I just slaughtered guards for a whole night and within a few hours I was done.
Ravenholdt:
Next on my list was the Ravenholdt faction. The guys at Durnholde keep in Hillsbrad have insanely fast re spawn times, often re spawning in just seconds. If I remember, I got an average of about 3,800 rep an hour killing these guys. This will take you all the way up to 1 point shy of revered. In total, you will spend roughly 5 1/2 to 6 hours running around in circles.
After hitting nearly revered, you will have to start farming heavy junkboxes to raise your rep. Zoraxxi and I spent our time in scenic lower blackrock spire. (He discovered that if you ran all the way to the end and waited 10 or so minutes, you could pickpocket all the same mobs on your way back to reset the instance.) They are 75 reputation per turnin and you get a unique throwing knife as a reward. Consider yourself lucky if you have a travelers mammoth... each of those knives vendors for over 1g.
Luckily for this part I had my own rogue from pre-bc that I could farm junkboxes with. My friend Zoraxxi also helped me on this part on his rogue as well. This part can easily be done in a few days if you have the patience to stare at nothing but orcs and ogres for hours on end.
Shen'dralar / Goblin rep:
Be sure to check the auction house as frequently as possible for the items you will need for the Shen'dralar rep. You will need Pristine Black Diamonds. Large Brilliant Shards, and Librams. I had gold to spare and at the time that I was doing my grind I guess the diamonds were in high demand... I ended up paying nearly 100g each for some of them. Sometimes I got lucky though and found them for 2 g. Just keep at it. Look for cheap librams as well. These are not to fun to farm in DM as they are unique, so if you have money to spare and find a cheap libram buy it out.
The librams require Large Brilliant Shards along with either Blood Of Heroes, Skin of Shadows, or frayed abomination stitchings depending on which libram you have. The blood of heroes (used by the Libram of Rapidity) is by far the most annoying thing on the planet to farm, and if at all possible avoid these like the plague. Skin of shadows (used by the Libram of Focus) drops pretty freqently off the mobs in Scholo and will take you little time to farm. Same goes with farming the frayed abom stitchings (used by the Libram of Protection)from UD Strat.
These librams are unique, so when you do go to turn them in , you will probably want to hire someone to drop a mailbox for you or else your in for a lot of running.
For the goblin rep, you will need to run Dire Maul some 200 or so times to get a shackle key to free Knot and an ogre tanin to make a gordok ogre suit. These require a LOT of rugged leather and bolts of runecloth. You will get plenty of runecloth farming your rep, so don't worry too much about buying those off of the auction house. All you have to do is get a tailor to turn them into bolts. (Zoraxxi, again, I owe you for sitting there for having the patience to deal with all the runecloth I sent you)
To do the free knot quest you will need to find a Gordok Shackle Key that drops mainly off of the named Guards, the Gordok Bushwhacker that spawns when you loot the tanin basket, and sometimes randomly off of other mobs. You can only do 5 runs per hour, and I was faceroll ret spec, so I just killed everything. I had easily finished farming my librams long before I was done with the goblins and I got a key on almost every run.
Darkmoon Faire:
When I originally started my grind, I had read up on a guide from someone who had already farmed the title. The guide told me to farm / buyout low level herbs and make the lesser darkmoon decks and turn those in. DO NOT DO THIS. IT IS A HUGE WASTE OF TIME / GOLD. The card has to summon a darkmoon fortune teller that you have to talk to for your turnins. The fortune teller lasts for some 2.5 minutes but the card has a FIVE minute cooldown.
What I'd recommend doing is camp the auction house. Every time you log on, before you log off, and any spare time you have should be spent looking for cheap Darkmoon cards. I started this insane grind with some 38,000 gold. I am now at 37,000 gold after having sold all the decks that I made from the bought cards. On my server, berserker cards were easily selling for 330g each. Illusion cards sometimes sold at 425g each, and undeath cards were bought out in no time for 1300g each. Most chaos cards are not very expensive either. At any random time you can proably find at least a few cards for around 30-39g each, some maybe even as low as 15g!. Same goes for prisms and undeath too. Even if you were to pay 100g for each undeath card, you will be easily making a 500g profit that you can use to purchase 2 or more chaos decks for rep!
Good luck to all of you who try this feat of strength. It may seem daunting at first but keep at it. This far gave me something to do for the last 2 months AND got me Rivendares Charger ^.^. If I can be of any help feel free to throw me a whisper on Burning Legion horde side.

If i get honored with bloodsail, and then start raising reputation with booty bay, wont my reputation with bloodsail drop?
Have to kill pirates to raise with booty bay and the other goblin cities, so how does one get around that?
Ah, figures the pirates southsea pirates and so on, dont give negative rep with bloodsail

Alright chaps, hit this achievement after 14 days of work FROM SCRATCH. The guides are out there so i shant bore you. But i will offer some tips which are overlooked by most sites.
Overall tip: Other factions auction house. Go.
Shen'dralar-
-Every 40 minutes, relog 1 minute and spam trade channel and auction house for Pristine diamonds. Ask people to dig deep in alts and their banks. If you spam too much you will cause people to think theyre worth too much. people were so bad on my server the diamonds ended up at 300g by the end of my 2 week grind. I never bought for over 100.
-Blood of heroes, kill the mobs after every loot or i think the bloods wont respawn for ages. After every server reset go round as they will all have respawned.
-Find a quel serar book. this gives about 1k rep total. (paladins and warrs only?).
-In 2 weeks of spamming trade there is a good chance of a lucky strike. someone giving up the insane? someone moving server and cant carry their librams over? Theyll remember your name and they will come to you first.
-/who dire maul, whisper, "if you get any diamonds, throw me a tell". Same for strat, scholo etc.
Darkmoon Faire-
This ones a biggie. Have about 10k gold capital. beg/borrow it whatever.
-Be there on the first day SO SO IMPORTANT. i got 30 decks handed in from others on the first day/.
-Have your own trinkets that you give to the other person for their decks. This removes the need for trust. hand in the deck straight after to get your trinket "back".
-if your low on capital, and there is noone left with decks. Go to AH and buy all the cards ASLONG as they amount to LESS than you can sell the deck for. If you can buy undeath cards for a total of 1000 gold (which is insane prices per card) you will still have no problems selling that trinket to someone for 1000. keep rotating this.
-The rogues decks are only useful if the DMF has just left town and you have under 4k rep still to go.
-Contact anyone selling ANYTHING relatred to cards on trade channel. If they have a card/deck/trinket its likely they will have more.
-Focus on Undeath/prisms/chaos. These trinkets still sell well and are most popular in terms of available cards on AH.
Ravenholdt-
-Don't stop moving. you can pickpocket while moving you should never need to stop.
-Work round in a large circle from the right side of the entrance gate of TYRS HAND all the way round until your back to the other side of the entrance.
-If you don't have a rogue, pay a rogue to let you borrow his rogue. I payed a chap to lend me his account when he was at work. I payed about 2k for 2-3 days which was all i needed. a focused rogue can collect all 1400 boxes in a total of 24 hours.
-Shifts do not work well for the initial grind of syndicate mobs, purely because there are so many bumps and ways the sleeping person can dismount is far too annoying.
Goblins-
-To prevent burn out alternate the DM key runs with farming pirates in Ratchet. Do from hated to hostile in Dire Maul North. Then go farm pirates in Ratchet. Farming them is so insanely fast in comparison and you arent going to be missing many librams really. If your doing it with a friend you can work shifts. One plays while one sleeps. dual box with the sleeping person mounted following you. Never let them get stuck.
-(Pirates) Do a large circle starting from 63,47~ (The start of the mobs) work in a moon shape all along the coast, up the ramp, round the cliff and then jump down back to the beginning. they will always respawn by the time your round it. Time yourself to make it more fun. Think my fastest run was 3 minutes?
-In Dire Maul get Loot & reset addon. It tracks when your instances reset to allow you to make the most. Make sure you do all 5 instances ina row so you can use the remaining time to have a break or to farm trash for librams.
-Librams from bosses stay long enough for you to get to the mailbox and back. Librams from trash does not.
-Remember to pick up the ogre tanins from the crate and the pot every time. The bosses have the largest drop rate of keys, make sure you kill them all if needed.
-Save all ogre tanins to the end and make sure you continually buy enough leathers from the auction house that youll have enough by the end. to hand them all in at once.
-If your fast enough you can reach the patrolling 2nd boss before he goes down the ramp. in terms of pure key runs this will save you about 2 mins per run if u can get him before the ramp.
Bloodsail-
-Max out your bloodsail to 11,999 while you can.
A) You'll regret it later (if you don't do it) when you don't have a lovely full green bar on your reputation page.
B) Even if you know you wont want the full bar, you can turn in cloth to the steemweedle cartel for the equivilent of 11,750 "free" reputation. Doing this will save you 22 key runs. In comparison to the extra hour it will take you to grind the extra 12k.
-Group up. each person increases the spawn rate x2 (i think). will go from start to end in about 2 hours flat. Doing on your own will TAKE &*!@ING AGES.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Thulm##DELIM##Removed the offending links.

Wanted to add this bit of information with a screenshot:
http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk255/aduroris/insane.jpg
"Petition: Insane in the Membrane
Answer: Once you have gained honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers you will gain credit for that part of the achievement, and able to move on to the Steamwheedle faction. Lowering your reputation with Bloodsail will not remove the credit towards the achievement."
While I didn't ask for an official response about timing, I'm going to assume that the following is correct:
To gain credit for any part of the achievement, it had to be active after achievements went live. This means that in order for the game to register that you've been honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers, you had to have been honored at or after achievements came out. If you were honored and you lost your reputation with Bloodsail before achievements came out, I believe you would not get credit for it.
There are achievements that are tracked by tabards and such (C'Thun for example), and I'm not sure if anything like that can be tracked for Bloodsail.

Possibly a stupid question, but does anyone know if you have to have all these reps at the same time?
EG, Exalted with Gadgetzan AND Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers otherwise you cant get the achievement?

Where can I find the achivement for this particular achievements under the Achivement Tab, so I can track the progress and make sure it registered an honor/exaulted before I work another reputation. I'm not sure if it matters, but my character is a deathknight, which did not have any of the old world achivements.

Though the information is varied from what I've seen, this is my experience with the whole "at the same time" question.
Short version: I'm really insane and have two characters with the title, achieved about 2 months apart. Both of them were exalted with goblins before the title was added to the game. Both of their titles were gained while their goblin faction was still hated. In my experience, you do not need them simultaneously.
Details:
My priest,
Ny,
got her Insane title June 18 or so. When the Insane title was announced, she already had exalted goblins and Shendralar, but I had never done Bloodsail rep or intended to before that. I decided to save Bloodsail for last and started leveling a rogue and buying cards. At that time, I fully expected that I would have to redo all of Steamwheedle Cartel to get my title.
On June 17 I was exalted with all the reps, and hated with Bloodsail: goblin killing time. I got most of the way through that day, then hit honored the next day and was very surprised, but oh so relieved when the achievement popped up. I was sitting at exalted Shendralar, DMF, Ravenholdt, honored with Bloodsail, and fully hated with goblins. My time as exalted with goblins had in fact count toward the achievement.
Now, I'm quite insane, and did not mention my paladin,
Nya
, who I also two-box all of the time. Before June 17 she was exalted with goblins, but nothing else. Come the 18th, she was now honored with Bloodsail, but hated by the goblins, and looking at most of DMF, Ravenholdt, and Shendralar still to go. At the time I figured I got lucky with the priest, but it's going to be a while for the paladin, and I still expected I would have to regrind goblins for her.
On August 23 I turned in my final junkbox and got my paladin's title. She was still hated by the goblins at the time. Then I went to the beach and saw Inglorious Basterds; really didn't wanna look at my computer by that point.
As of this post, their profiles reflect the same reps as when they got their titles.
Shendralar - Exalted
Ravenholdt - Exalted
DMF - Exalted
Bloodsail - 11999 Honored
Goblins - 0 Hated on Ny, about 17000 Hated on Nya. (All from keys/tannin gained during her Shendralar runs)
In all likelihood I'll redo my goblins anyways, at least up to where they won't net me on sight, and especially with the goblins becoming a part of my faction next expansion!
So, on my VERY limited sample size of 2, I'd say if you aren't going to end up with everything at the same time, don't fret, it still worked for me. If you have the chance though, do Bloodsail before goblins though! Don't risk it!
I'll try to submit a screenshot sometime. It's kinda creepy/sad/awesome seeing them together with the titles.

I started with the 'obvious' path to do first and that is grind Bloodsail rep to Honored. I started by myself being prot. Although, it wasn't hard if the guards kept on coming, it was a bit of a pain to kill them so slowly. I then saw a group of 4 other people and asked if I could join theres. By the time I joined theres I was just underneath Hated and I only had to grind for another hour with this group to get to Honored.
The next rep I did was Darkmoon Faire. I'm a JC and BS and although they aren't as profitable as Mining/Herb etc, I do rake in a bit of tips and I can get a big, big profit by playing 'smart'. With the introduction of epic gems I boosted my gold gain every day by HUGE percentage. On the server I play on, King's Amber sell for ~150g, and the Smooth King's Ambers sell for ~250-300g, so I bought 10-20 uncut Ambers and cut them into Smooth ones and sure enough, after studying at Tafe, I came home and saw a big stack of loot in my mailbox with a good profit. I did the repeatable quests to get to Friendly then I bought the Chaos Deck which sells for relatively cheap (300g) seeing as its trinket is 'mediocre'. I repeated this till Exalted, occasionally buying Rogue decks.
The next rep I worked on was Shen'dralar. This was the 2nd easiest in my books. I went into DM North, rounded up everything I could then AoE'd them down. I would collect the 3 different Librams, then make a break for the nearest mailbox and mail it to an alt. This only took me about 4 days of ~5 hours each day to get all 88. After I got the Librams I hit up Strath and doing only 7 min Baron runs I looted more than enough Abom Stitchings in a few sittings. I bought the others via AH. While I was running DM I also did the Free Knot quest which I completed 13 times (horrible RNG for key). When I got the mats I tipped an Engineer 100g to use up their Mailbox CD in DM Library where I handed them in one at a time to the questgiver.
The next rep I worked on was Steamwheedle. I did this with a friend and it took us about 3 weeks of killing Pirates to hit Exalted from 0/36000.
Last but not least was Ravenholdt which in itself is not too difficult but I, not having a Rogue alt, power levelled like I would never have thought. 1-55 in 3 days via Heirloom items and paying for runs and questing like no tomorrow. I farmed Tyr's Hand for a good 12 days to get all the necessary Junkboxes then mail them off to my main where I happily, but very boringly (is that word?), handed them in, but the thought of knowing what my reward at the end was kept me going.
All in all, this is NOT only for the hardcore gamer. I did this achievement in ~6 months and I get home around 5pm and start playing at 6pm and go to bed at 2am (which I raid for 3 hours each night). The best advice I can give for anyone is to pace yourself! Well worth the effort.

DO NOT, I repeat
do not
do Bloodsail first. You will get credit for the achievement even if all your Steamwheedle rep is at hated, provided it's been at Exalted before. Apparently achievements that require rep are toggled on but not off even if your rep changes.
My guildie got it it this morning as soon as his Bloodsail hit Honored.

You can check progress of this achievement by typing /script AddTrackedAchievement(2336)
I tryed this before i got honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers and it showed them in first line under Insane in the Membrane on my screen. After that i got honored with them and than they disappeared from achi tracking, than i killed few pirates and got frendly with them and still there are no Bloodsail Buccaneers on achi tracking. This should mean that u
dont
need to be both honored with pirates and exalted with goblins at the same time.
P.S. dont press Open Achievement on tracking window or ur game will bugg out.

Here are a few things I have learned along the way that you all may find helpful.
1. Farm your junk boxes in DM north. You can get librams, cloth, diamonds, the Ace of Warlords, goblin rep and even leather if you can skin - all in that one instance. Just make sure you have plenty of bag space!
2. Librams: Farm your mats for the book turn ins ahead of time and bring a stack of everything along with you. The books are unique so a quick side trip from DM north or west saves you the agony of leaving a book behind, or worse yet, running to Feathermoon all the time to mail them out. If you farm books in DM West, the best place for the libram drops, you can make it to the turn in and back before a duplicate book drop despawns if you move fast (from most places in DM West and some places in DM North as well)
3. Goblin Rep: The pirate area outside of Ratchet is the easiest to farm. The mobs drop fast and sometimes respawn instantaneously. Baron Longshore, who gives 25/12.5 rep spawns in 3 different places, just not all at once. It is possible, with a little effort, to set the timing on his spawning so as soon as you kill him on one spot he pops up in the next, then the next. After that there is a short respawn period, probably the usual 7 minutes or so, and he will spawn back in the same pattern, as long as you are there to kill him right away.
4. Cards - Start buying them up as soon as you begin this grind, it is the most costly part of this achievement. On my server the primal life prices hit 12 gold EACH making it difficult to purchase mats to make level 70 cards. Getting cards at a reasonable price is possible, but takes time and patience. Some people recommend going after the smaller 3-5 card decks, although on my server this became impossible when a couple of jerks decided to corner the market on low level cards and drive the price through the roof, I am not sure I agree with that strategy anyway. Buying the higher level cards when they are priced right, I usually look to spend 15g for a level 60 card and 20g for a 70, makes selling the trinkets profitable, at least enough so to make your money back. I made about 50 decks and used these to trade the trinkets off for decks again, if you do this when the fair is not running, you can actually charge a little money - then use that money to tip people for allowing you to turn their decks in! Also, as mentioned by another person earlier, I had some success spamming "BUYING ALL level 60-70-80 CARDS!" There are always people who will laugh at your offers because those 4 cards they have been hording for 4 years are CLEARLY worth more than you are offering, but there are also plenty of people willing to help you along when you tell them what you are doing. I even had one guy mail me a bunch of random level 80 cards for free! While you are checking the AH (as much as possible) look for Ink of the Sky at a good price as well. It is used to make level 60 cards.
This is a long and arduous grind. I just hope Blizzard doesn't decide to nerf if like they did with the Wintersaber mount grind. There are not many people willing to undertake these types of grinds, and it's a true slap in the face when they make it so much easier for others who were too lazy to before.
Good luck all, if I think of anything else I'll be sure to post it!

I can confirm that you do
NOT
need reputation at the required levels at the SAME time to gain
Insane in the Membrane
I made exalted with the 4 Steamwheedle Cartel cities back in TBC when I did Dire Maul key runs out of boredom. I then did Darkmoon exalted this week, thus ending up with Bloodsail honored being my last requirement to finish the job.
Here
is a screen shot from when I "dinged" Insane today, and here is a link to my Armory:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-reputation.xml?r=Ravencrest&cn=Nelle&gn=Borked
Notice the fully HATED in all of the 4 Steamwheedle Cartel cities -
So the GM stating otherwise was wrong
Now on to make Bloodsail Exalted as well, before I can redo my Steamwheedle Cartel reputation, going to be a very exciting month in Badlands *yawn*

I think ryan is correct.
I had all the factions for this achievement including Steamwheedle at exalted except for Bloodsail which was at 0/36000 hated. When I grinded out for Bloodsail and got honored with Bloodsail, I received the Insane achievement / title immediately, even though the Bloodsail grind had pushed all 4 goblin reps to 0/36000.
In other words, I received the achievement while my Goblin reps were all hated (they had been exalted before). So apparently, they are not a package deal and you are not required to have them all at the same time. I wasn't expecting to get it this way, but hey it was a nice surpise.
But, I would think for ryan's milemarker explanation to work, you would need to "check off" each requirement after the Feat of Strength was introduced. So if you had honored Bloodsail before 3.1 and then lost it, the tracking system would have no way of knowing. Being honored with Bloodsail post 3.1 or being exalted with Steamwheedles post 3.1, and then losing either, I don't believe this would penalize you. Else I wouldnt have the title. But I do.
Doing it this way saves some time, less goblin rep grinding by doing goblin reps first (not so bad) and then Bloodsail (easy). But if you are worried about it counting for you even though it did for me, the safe guaranteed way is still grinding Bloodsail first (easy) and then goblin towns from hated (insane). Glad I didnt have to do it the insane way :p

guys i accidentally found this but it's damn useful for the steamwheedle cartel, in feralas, near the pier where u get the boat to the island there is a goblin, he gives repeatable quests which give 385 rep with each faction, and there's 2 quests, refueling the zapper and zapping the giants (or something along those lines), it's an easy quest and less monotonous than farming lvl 40s and less hard work and cheaper than free knot, it'll give u a grand total of 770 rep a day, which is pretty good, and it only takes about 5 minutes to do it, much faster than farming kills and running around Dire Maul like a headless chicken on a killing rampage

The 1st turn in is 350 (or 385 if you are a human) the repeatable ones are only 25.

I also had exalted with the Goblins as the achievement was released (counting toward my 40 reps title) and then ground out the buccaneers. I hit exalted with the Shendralar and Ravenholdt on the same day and got my achievement even with goblins being only back into honored (a very long grind from 0/36000 hated in Dire Maul). So to confirm, you only have to have had the reps at some point in time to the required level after the release of the achievement; in a similar fashion to
Hero of Shattrath

Hey Guys and gals,
This is my very first wowhead post and i wanted to clear up some math on the goblin rep part of this achievement if you are a player like me and started with 0/36,000 hated with all of you goblin factions and are not interested in the dire maul strategy.
Start with the area of pirates that you like to kill the most. By this i mean the place you want to spend the most time. For me it was the "Lost Rigger Cove".
Kill pirates there until you are at full honored rep. This is a total of 12,600 pirates.
Then Switch to a second desired location and kill pirates there until you are exalted with the first. It's a total of 8, 800 pirates in this second location.
It takes 42,000 kills to get Everlook to exalted so after this point you can kill pirates in your favorite spot until then. I found this method to be helpful because it let me completely avoid killing the venture co. goblins which i found to be too spaced out.
This method does not maximize the amount of rep you will gain with the third city but does get you there at the same point as everlook. It also minimizes travel between zones.
Hope this helps people with the rep grind!

Just about finished this up...and let me tell you, there's no -bad- advice on this page, however I took a little bit of everything and put it together into something streamlined that works for me.
Grabbed some friends that wanted Bloodsail Admiral, aoe fest in Booty Bay, yada yada yada we're Bloodsail Admirals. Took about 2 1/2 hours with 4 of us.
Began solo clearing Dire Maul North (feral druid), killing -everything- from the front towards the back until I'd get a key. I'd go Free Knot. Continue clearing until out of normal ogres, then bosses, or until I got another key. If I got another key out of the same instance, leave, reset, Free Knot, begin clearing all over again for a key and then reset again. Otherwise repeat as if I'd just started. As one of my professions while doing DM was enchanting, I d/e all loots, especially the blues from bosses, for Large Brilliant Shards to use for turning in Librams. I also hoarded all ogre tannins, both from the cache and from Bushwacker's basket (who is also a great drop rate on the key).
Whenever my bags got filled, I would teleport to Moonglade, fly to Darnassus, mail all Librams to an alt, mail all runecloth to my alt with tailoring, and check the AH for any other librams, as well as Pristine Black Diamonds (what usually happened with these is I'd buy them out from 5g up to 20g a pop, then let them come back down again over the next few days). Hearth to Feralas, go back to Dire Maul and start over again.
Once I had a sufficient stock of Librams, Diamonds, and Shards, I would then take a break from DM, proceed to the plaguelands, and ride all over hell and back picking up Blood of Heroes, often offering 10g bribes in general chat for locations to speed up my search. Once I had sufficient Blood to match the librams I had sitting in the mail, I would then reset farm Scholo for Skins of Shadow (anywhere from 0-4 per run), and then do the same with Baron runs in Strat for Stitchings (and yes, I did actually get the Baron's mount while doing this). Return to DM, coerce (bribe) a guildy engineer with a MOLL-E to come to the DM Library, and repeatedly turn in Librams. Had I not run the hell out of ZG in Vanilla WoW, I would have used these for Zandalar rep, but oh well.
My other profession at this time was skinning, which meant I also had an ample supply of Rugged Leather not only from the cache for freeing Knot, but any time I felt like taking out a pack of Hyenas in DM. My tailoring alt bolted all Runecloth gathered from DM, Scholo, and Strat, and I would purchase an appropriate number of Rune Thread and go nuts making/destroying Ogre Suits repeatedly before freeing Knot on my first trip back.
Further benefit of clearing/running DM so much, was also obtaining many lvl 60 Darkmoon cards, -INCLUDING- getting the Ace of Warlords off the King multiple times. This obviously helped facilitate my Darkmoon rep raising. I won't even begin to try to estimate how much time I spent in DM, but once I finished off Shen'dralar rep I switched to the shorter DM clears that result in often meeting the instance reset timer.
I also got 2 Foror's Compendiums, sold both for 1500 each, as well as thousands of gold made from AH'ing lvl 60 enchanting mats from numerous greens that dropped.
Once I finished off the Goblins to Exalted, I leveled a rogue to 65 exclusively for the purpose of farming Heavy Junkboxes in Blackrock Spire. I dropped enough points into Subtlety for Imp Stealth, Imp Stealth Speed, and Imp Sap/Blind. The rest I dropped into combat, and glyphed Pick Pocket to have a 10 yard range. Most of the time I was solo pickpocketing, so I would start in the main room, then do the first part of UBRS (the 7 rooms of orcs that have the glyphs on the floor for opening the door), then work my way through LBRS (skipping the ogres at first, but dropping back down to them after finishing the top floor of LBRS, since it brought me back towards the exit anyways), and by the time I got back to the beginning of Blackrock Spire, all pockets had reset and could be picked again.
On the one night I had a friend helping, we -cleared- the first room on our 80's, stealthed to the Rend event and opened that up, then held the instance while getting back onto our rogues. I would then farm LBRS, while my friend farmed UBRS (his rogue was 70, so less chance of getting caught for him), and eventually the orcs in the first area of UBRS would repop but without re-locking the door, and he'd pickpocket those as well. Whether alone or with my friend, this only took a couple hours a night to pull off until I had the 1400+ junkboxes it takes for a non-human to go from 11999/12000 to 999/1000 (yes, I'm OCD like that).
Currently I'm leveling Herbalism/Inscription, and plan to hopefully have made enough decks to go from 2000/6000 to 999/1000 by the time the Faire comes around in the start of October.

Can you grind Bloodsail rep first, then just check "at war" and start slaughtering them for goblin rep?

For the Cartel and Dire Maul rep, here is what you do. Don't listen to the other ppl.
1. Get en enchanter.
2. Farm Strath for lots of abom stitchings from the aboms at the end near Baron. Since you have to kill the mini bosses to get the gate to open, disenchant their blues to get prismatic shards (all of the Librams need these). I got around 50 abom stitchings before i left. I also had around 100 or so prismatic shards by then and the Baron mount (since your there, you might as well kill baron and DE his blues plus maybe get the mount).
3. Farm blood of heros from eastern plague lands. This is a #$%^&. All these ppl saying it takes no time at all are wrong. I walked around many times for an hour or more before i saw one and you need two per libram turn in. Farm as many as you can stand (30-40 should be enough).
4. Farm Skin of shadow from the bosses in scholo. Run all the way to the end (need the viewing room key first which you get from the construct in the lower room) and kill just the end mini bosses in the rooms to the left and right of the stairs if your looking down the stairs. Both upstairs and downstairs rooms. The rooms straight ahead of the stairs don't drop them. Don't waste your time with mobs inside the rooms either because they don't drop the skins (you will have to kill the zombie guys to get the end of that room but that's the only one unless you just blindly run into them as your heading to the back). The only mobs that do have a chance to drop skins are the 4 pathing skeletons in the bottom right room looking down from the stairs. Do kill them since they have the best chance to drop the skins. repeat until you have 40-50 skins. DE the blues from the bosses also. This should be enough to last you throughout your libram turn ins.
5. Check the Auctions House for pristine black diamonds. I got them for around 20-45 gold per. You can also get them as a rare drop from the mobs in Dire Maul and you will get some as you progress through this. Buy what you can.
6. Head to Dire Maul north. This will be your home for the next 200 or so runs. NOTE: You can only carry one of each type of libram at a time. This is why you stock up on what you need to turn them in (black diamonds, skin of shadow, blood of hero, etc) Once you enter dire maul, kill every single mob in the instance. If your lucky, you will get 1, 2 or even 3 Libram drops per run. The turn in npc is in dire maul north itself. After you enter the instance, down in the courtyard to the left is a huge door with a long ass hallway, go down there and turn them in. There is a pre-req quest first before you can turn them in so you will have to do that. Some elf located around 68,36 in feralas starts it. its very quick. You have to find a body. Once you do that, you can start turning them in. TURN THEM IN RIGHT WHEN YOU GET THEM. I have waited before since i didn't want to run and the next mob dropped the same libram i had on me already, by the time i ran to turn it in and ran back, the body was gone. I probably lost 5 librams doing that.
7. While you are in Dire Maul. Make sure you free knott! everytime you get a shackle key. Also, loot his chest he leaves behind. if your lucky, you will get an extra Ogre Tannin from that chest. There is also a basket in the far corner after the first ramp upstairs that has a Ogre Tannin in at every time. Just one. Get that too. You can turn these in for extra cartel rep before you free knott. It takes alot of rugged leather and bolts of runcloth fr one turn in so i usually just saved up 20 or 30 tannin before i turned them all in to knott.
8. Repeat until done. You will finish your Shen'dalar rep before you finish the cartel rep since you start -36000 with the cartel and only neutral with shen'dalar.
9. Take a break every now and then.

Here is a sad day for me. After having exalted in everything required besides the Darkmoon Faire, I went to the Pirates Day thing. So a big PvP-fest happened in booty bay, and I turned out joining a raid group. Then I went AFK. I came back 15 minutes later, and I'm now Hostile with all of the Cartel (I was 999/1000 exalted with each of them before this). So yeah, I'm very sad. Note to others out there, don't enter a raid group no matter how fun the idea of killing your opposing faction's players.
So, I now have to basically do most of that grind all over again. =/

All classes can be exalted with Ravenholt. If you are NOT a rogue the max you can get is 11999/12000 honored (so you must be at the end of honored). Then you need the help of a rogue to find you lots of :

In addition for darkmoon reputation. I'm very close to exalted now, and my luck I'm both scribe and herbalist. If you have a lot of money and/or good at trading, and talents to tame the AH, then you can just buy all herbs/inks/life/cards/decks and even make money out of it. Your choices of decks are the following:
Low lvl decks: They're the cheapest, but only give 25 rep, so you need a ton of them. A lot of gold and a lot of riding in low lvl areas, and thus you can't fly, you are much more slower.
Lvl 60 decks: they qould be pretty nice, because they do not need any life element to craft, but they need 5 ink (5 pigment) and you just can't farm them fast enogh.
Lvl 70 decks: Oh yes, you need only 3 uncommon inks (3 pigment), you can farm the herbs by flíing, and there are a ton of them, or just buy them in the AH for cheap. You will have a LOT of inks. Rally, believe me, a lot. Seriously. BUT.
You need 3 primal life as well, and for primal life...it's really a pain to farm. You probably want to buy them in the AH, but you just never can get as many, as many inks you have.
Lvl 80 decks: 6 inks (12 pigments) and 3 eternal life to craft just one, but you can buy a lot of them, and you can farm them pretty easy. Just get to WG when your faction have it, and farm some eternal, or make camp in Sholazar Basin/Icecrown and Storm Peaks and farm a lot of herbs. Anyway you'll have to farm a lot, but after all, you can sell the decks (Death and Greatness) for gold (whick from you'll buy moar herbs and life).
As you can see, there are a lot of choices, but anyway you'll have to farm a lot. I would advise to not settle down at one, but do all of them. FArm herbs/life, create cards, stalk AH for other cards, pay 50 to swith card to deck, so use every possible way to attain more decks and thus reputation. I, myself just made about 20 nobles deck this far (lost count at 13), and there were months when I crafted five or six of them. But I still have more than 200 cards, and none of them enough for a deck, and still got that 14 berserker cards...maybe the lvl 1 newbies would be happy to get some of them ^^

I can confirm this, I was exalted with steemwheedle back in BC and was affraid of doing the bloodsail admiral because i'd lose all that rep. But for the insane title it was worth losing and as soon as I hit honored with bloodsail I got the title.

Because it's not clear at all if you need them at the same time, or just have them at one point, here is a response from a GM today:
Issue Reported:I, along with many others, are confused currently with the "Insane in the membrane" achievement requirements.
There is some debate regarding this particular achievement - The intended function of this achievement was to be awarded once all requirements were met, but they were not necessarily supposed to be completed simultaneously. This particular achievement is in review with our developers now and more information should be available at the resources listed below once the investigation is complete. Thank you for your time and patience, my friend.
We are aware of the situation you reported, and we are currently working on a solution. Please check the World of Warcraft website (

It appears that it would be best to err on he side of caution.

I had all the factions for this achievement including Steamwheedle at exalted except for Bloodsail which was at 0/36000 hated. When I grinded out for Bloodsail and got honored with Bloodsail, I received the Insane achievement / title immediately, even though the Bloodsail grind had pushed all 4 goblin reps to 0/36000.
In other words, I received the achievement while my Goblin reps were all hated (they had been exalted before). So apparently, they are not a package deal and you are not required to have them all at the same time. I wasn't expecting to get it this way, but hey it was a nice surpise.
Can anyone provide a armory link to prove, that this is possible? If it is, will save tons of time, since a lot of players are half revered with cartel from leveling quests.

I can confirm, at whoever was asking, that
you don't need
to have both goblin/BB rep up to honored/exalted at the same time(atm).
You had, until one of the last patches. This achievement is now working like all the other achievements, if you was honored with the pirates then you are done with them. To make it more clear, you don't need to get honored with them, again, after you got exalted with the goblins.

He also told me that he didn't had to rebuild his rep with the pirates, again, WHILE i actually had to do that( I was exalted with the goblins, actually, and i had to burn the reputations of these 4 factions down and, after i got honored with the pirates, i went farming goblins rep in DiM, again, since i didn't get the achievement).

Ok guys, so many different views on this matter of steam rep vs the pirates.
Some of you say you need the pirates at honored at the same time as steam at exalted, some of you dont.
I asked a gm today (091030) and he "thinks" you should be able to do it even if your rep with the pirates isnt at
honored. Gee some help from that guy.
Here is a screen of some of the conversation:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g256/starions/div/insane.jpg
Told him about a video i saw on the tube about a guy who didnt get the achievement when he had the pirates below honored. He asked if it was new. As you can see the gm "thinks" this has been changed in a patch.
Is it just me who is confused about all this and dont wanna take the chanse?

I'm doing this on my main right now. I'm 75% in.
My experience is that when you are grinding goblin rep, simply re-run DM and only kill the bosses. You get a much higher chance at getting a key and it is very fast. You can also easily run back and get a key if you happen to have one, so here is how I do it:
First and most important. If at any time you have a Gordok Shackle Key and you have already turned one in, simply log out for 5 minutes or so and you will be at the front entrance. You are not here to farm anything but Booty Bay rep (other goblin rep is typically higher than Booty Bay, so you can set Booty Bay to your rep bar and monitor it.)
My logic for this is simple. I'm not trying to get librams yet. I'm going for only Booty Bay rep. Librams sometimes drop anyway and I mail them off when I get them because I power-leveled engineering for my own mailbox. Sometimes I get Pristine Black Diamonds.
Zone into Dire Maul North.
Run full speed at the first boss, Guard Mol'dar. Pull him right up the ramp behind him and tank/spank him at the top.
Run full speed from the top your left, skipping all trash on the way to the middle of the circle where Guard Fengus pats to, and where the Gordok Courtyard Key. Kill him right there to avoid adds.
Run through to the courtyard door and avoid all trash on your way to Knot. By now you should have a key, or you may have had one upon zoning in. If you don't have a key wait in the corner where Knot is. Kill Guard Slip'kik in the corner so he doesn't pull adds.
Skip all trash on your way to the Ogre Tannin Basket. Stand in the corner and open it, then wait by the fire for the Gordok Bushwacker to scream at you and run into the middle of that area. Kill him by himself or with the trash that is blocking the ramp up top.
Optional: you can skip Captain Kromcrush or you can kill him. I have found that he seems to have a much lower chance at a key than the other guards seem to and getting to him is slower than getting to the other guards.
Do not bother killing King Gordok unless you are really low on Large Brilliant Shards.
If at any time you get a key and have turned a key in, log out. Don't waste your time on trash -- it's slow and it has very little chance at dropping the keys you need.
I will run DM 5 times per hour and use the rest of the time to read Reddit.com. Sometimes I take an hour and do Ravenholdt rep farming in LBRS. I went to Revered Booty Bay from 0/36000 in about a week casually doing it this way.
The bosses of DM North have a chance at dropping keys programmed into them. No other mob has that chance in the same way.
The keys are green items, and when wow rolls on loot, there is a chance to trigger a green drop. The guards have a much higher chance at getting on that table and very often you'll get either a libram or a key or a boe green. Most trash is maybe 5% for a green table roll, and keys are not as heavily weighted.
Because guards typically have keys!

Look, i just finished mine the other day... this !@#$ is silly simple.
You run dire maul north to get your cartel rep up, and Shen'dralar rep up. While you are there, turn in your keys and librams as you get them. This means you will need lots of libram and ogre suit mats. Stock pile on them and you are good to go. It takes no time at all.
People who say you should kill pirates are just morons. Don't listen to them. It's much easier, safer and makes you more money to do all 5 of those reps (the 4 cartel and Shen'dralar) at the same time.
Go to Tyres hand for lock boxes. NOT UBRS. Again, ppl who say UBRS are dumb. The only bad part is the Darkmoon faire. Its much better to just farm money and buy cards as they come on the AH then it is to farm herbs and make the cards yourself.
I think this achievement is too easy. A dedicated person could finish this in a week if not for the Darkmoon cards and the fact that the faire only comes around once a week at the first of the month.

I would advise starting with Bloodsail rep because of the terrible terrible damage it does to your Steamwheedle cartel rep. In most cases you will end the grind at 0/36,000 so no matter how many more guards you kill you can not lose rep. Continue killing guards until you reach 11,999/12,000 with the Bloodsail. The reason for this is you can then do
Traitor to the Bloodsail
roughly 23 times to quickly boost your goblin rep back up.
If done correctly you will end up with the following rep
Bloodsail Buccaneers
- 499 / 12,000
Booty Bay
- 11,500 / 36,000
Everlook
- 5750 / 36,000
Gadgetzan
- 5750 / 36,000
Ratchet
- 5750 / 36,000
Happy insanity grinding =)

A few points for people.
YOU DO NOT NEED ALL THE REPS AT THE SAME TIME!
I have had sc exalted since wotlk and didnt bother with this because I did not want to trash the faction. It does not matter. As long as you have had SC exalted at some time you are good.
If you decide to do this, plan it early. You will have to start playing the ah in earnest to gather the librams, diamonds and cards needed to grind this out. Plan 3 months if you want to keep a decent gold level.
Go Engineering for one of your professions. The mailbox is a must and the teleporters dont hurt either.
Get a Traverler's Tundra Mamoth. Vending is a good thing.
DKs, exploit em. Grind a dk up to 68 and max out his professions, it takes no time and its handy. Mine is a alc(elixir master, thats why 68)/Inscription
Make a rogue, deck him out in all the hierloom gear, get him to 51, move him into av till 65. At 65 start PP tyrs hand. 20 boxes a day for 3 months is the easy way. Do not forget the PP glyph.
Park the toon that is going to do this ach in epl when u go to PP. There are about 6 spawnpoints for Blood from LHC to Tyr's you will want to gather as much as them as you can.
LOOT EVERYTHING.
You will read about a bunch of people that say its faster not to loot the mobs. This is garbage. You will need the money for Librams, Cards and Diamonds. People will wise up to the fact that someone is working this ach and start to raise prices. IE Libram of Rapidity on my server went from 10g at the start to 250 by the end of the grind. YOU WILL BUY THEM! Dont kid yourself.
Rachet mobs drop:
Savory deviate delights Recipe, you should get at least one a day which is an easy 500g per.
Small Pearls, 100 a stack.
Linen 1-3 g a stack.
Tanaris
Mageweave 8-20g a stack
Green weapons = Greater Nether Essences = 13-20g a per
Wirts Third Leg = about 50-75g per
Make a bank toon with a guild bank. Use him as a clearing house. You will need a whole tab for cards!
Tired of grinding? Farm Blood of Heroes. This was the most tedious of the gathering as its just riding in circles. I used gathermate to assist in this.
Track the ach with this macro /script AddTrackedAchievement(2336)
There are other tips and tricks, but these were the important ones. Remember you are going to be hitting the ah alot so use everything you have to make money.

I decided this achievement would be a challenge.
It has been fun so far, been working on it in my spare time since September 26th.
The one thing I can say is this. Killing pirates for rep would be a *huge* waste of time on Kul Tiras.
The Librams and Pristine Black Diamonds are very difficult to find
at any price
on the AH.
I got all my librams, except for 7 by the time I was through running the Free Knot quest.
I've been buying Pristine Black diamonds any time I see them from 1g to 200g on the AH.
If it scares you to pay 200g for an item you will need 82 of, quit now.
I'm done with Bloodsail, done with Steamwheedle, I have all my lockboxes for Ravenholdt,
82 librams, 60 Diamonds and all the mats to turn in said librams.
I figure I might be half done. The other diamonds and Darkmoon Faire are going to be tough.

Make sure to have a level 1+ alt on the opposite faction of yours with at least 1000g at all times, make sure you do a several checks on their auction house, this was somethign I found very useful.
Here is a comparison of the prices of the items during my Insane grind on both the auction houses
Librams:
Alliance: 200-500g
Horde: 7-200g ( And it wasn't just once I saw it for 7g, and the most common price was 100g )
Pristine Black Diamond
Alliance: 100-500g
Horde: 50-250g
Make sure you make a /who on Stratholme, LBRS, UBRS, Scholomance, and then /whisper people throughout the day and ask if they happen to have any of those and make your offer to them, and ofcourse trade channel works.
Darkmoon decks:
I didn't get to buy my decks on the opposite faction, but I know the prices are very different.. and what I did in the end was that I got in contact with a big seller of all Darkmoon Decks, and I made a deal with him to let me turn all his decks into the vendor and I would pay him 100g , and in the end he didn't even wanted the payment and this person made alot of decks for me, which I turned in and he got the rep in return.. ( Do not expect this to happen on all server, or for you ).
Good luck.

I think it might be worth mentioning that there is a formula that can help you determine how much spillover rep you have to farm with each steamwheedle cartel sub-factions after hitting revered with all of them, incase you changed farming zones before (like I did to not to get bored from farming only ratchet mobs), and don't want to waste rep points. It's something like this:rep=(21000+CurrentPlaceRep-OtherTown1Rep-OtherTown2Rep)/2
Say you got 1000 ratchet rep, 3000 booty bay rep and 5000 gadgetzan rep and wonder whether you have to hunt more ratchet mobs, so you just put the numbers in(21000+1000-3000-5000)/2=7000 rep or 7000/2.5=2800 kills
Do it for each of the 3 farmable factions to find out how many rep or kills (by dividing rep by 2.5) you have to farm in each of the places.
If you get a negative number it means that you overfarmed this place and unfortunately will end up wasting time on extra kills. If it happens to be the place you're farming now, you don't need to do more maths. Just move to any of the two other places you have until you get exalted with the other one, than move to the place you just got exalted with, until you get exalted with all.

For those that haven't yet started to go for here is my tips:
1) You NEED devotion. Forget about dailies badges and other stuff. You will have to focus on this.
2) The hardest part for the achievement has a name and it is called "Pristine Black Diamond". All other things are farmable except Pristine Black Diamonds.
3) You will need a 50+ rogue (60+ recomended)
4) You will need an alt with inscription and herbalism (the rogue can do the job)
5) The hardest reps are Shen'dralar (by far the hardest) and Darkmoon Faire (due to decs needed but way easier than Shen'dralar)
GOOD LUCK!

For the Steamweedle-Bloodsail grind here is the biggest tip I can give...
After you are at
0/36,000 Hated
(aka bottomed out) with Booty Bay, keep killing Booty Bay Bruisers until they stop giving you Bloodsail rep at 11,999 honored. That overshoots
Insane in the Membrane
by just shy of 12k rep. Then kill
Jazzrik in Badlands
once to ding
revered
. This is to prep yourself for the long grind back up. You won't want to. You'll be sick of killing Bruisers and it will be painful to continue. But this pain will save you
worse
pain later.
Since you only need the bottom of honored, not revered you can
trade in 12k worth of runecloth to
Everlook
.
You will lose 500 Bloodsail rep from each cloth turn in. You'll need 24 turn ins of
Making Amends
But it's
WORTH IT
. It's much easier getting12k rep by killing bruisers then turning around and losing it than it is to do Dire Maul runs or kill the various pirates. Everlook will be your last and hardest one to bring back up since nothing you can kill gives bonus Everlook rep.

I found that Pilgrim week is an excellent time to do turn-ins. The Spirit of Giving buff will grant 10% to rep gains, and it DOES stack with the human racial. For Libram turn-ins I'm getting 600 rep this week, and Freeing Knot awards 420 rep.

I just submitted an in-game ticket with a GM on the issue of whether or not turning in cloth with the goblin cities affects the achievement if you've already gotten Honored with Bloodsail. The result - turning in cloth does NOT AFFECT the achievement if you have honored. You just need to achieve honored than you can destroy the bloodsail rep. So hopefully with will save a lot of time.

You might want to get the crusader title from the Argent Tournament before doing this grind because it allows you to buy
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=46874
the Crusader's tabard. The tabard allows you to hearth to the Tournament and does not share a bind nor CD with your hearthstone. This means you can set your hearthstone to places like Light's Hope Chapel, Feathermoon Stronghold, or Camp Mojache for some nice mobility and when you want to go to Dalaran, you can just use your tabard to hearth to Northrend and fly south.

Today I explored the question: How long will it take to farm enough herbs to reach exalted with Darkmoon Faire via rogues decks?
Answer: About 240 hours.
Givens:
1. To build a rogues deck you need to learn the ability with the inscription tradeskill.
2. It requires 3 cards: Ace, Two, and Three of Rogues.
3. Crafting a card requires 1 light parchment (unlimited supply from a vendor), 1 midnight ink (crafted by an inscriber), 1 hunter's ink (crafted by an inscriber)
4. Midnight ink and hunter's ink are both crafted by milling 1 of 5 specific herbs: briarthorn, swiftthistle, bruiseweed, mageroyal, and stranglekelp.
5. The limiting factor in crafting a card is hunter's ink. There is a 50% chance you get 1 verdant pigment from a mill of one of those 5 herbs. 1 verdant pigment is crafted into 1 hunter's ink. So on average you require 10 herbs to create 1 card.
6. The card created is random. Even if it seems you go on a long drought where you are missing 1 card, it truly is random.
7. You first should exhaust rep gains by the turnin quests which stop partway through friendly. After that, you need 1480 rogues decks (at +25 rep each) to reach exalted.
8. To create 1480 decks at 3 cards each = 4440 cards. Remember it takes 10 herbs, on average, to make 1 card. So 10 herbs X 4440 cards = 44,400 herbs. At 20 herbs per stack, we need 2220 stacks of herbs.
Knowing that, I farmed for 1 hour around Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad Foothills for the 5 types of herbs. In that time, I acquired 9 stacks. At that rate, it will take about 247 hours to reach exalted with Darkmoon Faire. If I spent 20 hours a week doing this (equivalent to a part-time job), it would still take 3 months.
If I sold my 9 stacks for 18g each, I'd make 162g. Purchasing all 2220 stacks from the AH at an average cost of 18g, it would cost about 40k gold.
The long story short is that you would have to be insane to actually farm the herbs to reach exalted via Rogues decks. There are better ways.

For anyone wanting to do this achievement but doesn't have a level 50+ Rogue yet, and doesn't want to level one any more than they have to...
I leveled my Rogue to 51 and just did cycles around the Arena and surrounding rooms. I started in the room just below the arena, go from the entrance through the locked door (that can be picked) and up the first set up ramps. There is a room with a couple wandering fire elementals and about 5 groups of Anvilrage mobs. From there I want halfway around the arena to the other side, doing the spectator groups along the way. The out of the arena to the hallway before the bar. You can get at least 3 groups of mobs here, sometimes 4. (The group to the left usually has a dog in it, but sometimes it's all humans.) After that I go around the other side of the arena back to the start. There are ~80 mobs in the cycle, give or take a few depending on whether a elemental or a human spawns in some spots.
It took me ~6 minutes per cycle of pickpocketing. At the end of the circuit you have a minute or 2 to organize your bags, and delete the junk (like Pipes) before the pockets respawn. You could also go down to the lowest level before the arena (just after the locked doorway you picked) and get about 5 more groups of Anvilrage mobs if you want to spend the extra time that way.
Note: The Anvilrage groups (before the arena) have only about half the chance to drop Heavy Junkboxes that the arena mobs and after have.
I was lucky enough to have the new Thanksgiving holiday buff (10% rep increase) for somewhere around 100 turnins so my totals below are a bit skewed by that.
I ran the circuit 185 times for a total of 1390 junkboxes. Which is abuot 7.5 junkboxes per cycle. The most I ever got in 1 cycle was 17, the least was 2.
Also, 1 or 2 of the groups in the arena will usually have a Senator of level 54. At level 51 these had about a 15% chance of catching me pickpocket. And they also see you from farther away, so be careful with them. Typically I would try to PP them, if they see me I vanish and just skip them until next time. Other mobs I would vanish and then PP again without worry. There is also a level 54 roaming fire elemental in the hallway after the arena that will see you from fairly far away.
Hope this helps anyone else who wants the achievement but hates leveling alts like me.

Deleted old comment here. I had thought that the class books were repeatable but as it turns out at some point the quest for these was "reset" if had done it already. So for some people you could repeat your class book one time.

Im currently 14k rep with Darkmoon Faire away from getting the insane title. And I've currently spend roughly 2½ months or 250-300 hours played to get this far. I did the achievement in the following order:
* First of all I did the bloodsail rep. Took me only a couple of hours, grouping up with a pala friend of mine. Be aware that this is the most easy part of the achievement - and compared to the other factions, even absurdly easy.
* When you hit honored with bloodsail, you would want to raise your reputation with the Steamwheedle Cartel - and if anyone should be in doubt whether they should grind the pirates for rep or do DM, let me make this crystal clear: YOU REALLY WANT TO DO DIRE MAUL, AND NOT GRIND PIRATES! Why? Because you get librams and pristine black diamonds while grinding DM. Lets say you grinded pirates and got exalted with steamwheedle factions - YES it was way faster than doing DM - BUT now you have to spend exactly the same amount of time in DM to get librams, that it would have taken, to raise steamwheedle from hated to exalted in Dire Maul.
When I was fully exalted with steamwheedle after doing DM roughly 200-250 times, I had ALL the 80 librams and ALL the diamonds I needed to get exalted with Shen'dralar (most diamonds was bought on AH - I only had like 20 from all the DM runs). So dont be a moron and waste your time grinding pirates, do DM!.
* Shen'dralar is fairly easy. Just do DM til exalted with steamwheedle factions, and you'll most likely have the librams for Shen'dralar. Be aware that turning in the librams require you to grind several hours for other mats like stichings from strat, skins from Scholo and Blood of Heroes from the plaguelands.
* Okay, now you want to raise your reputation with Ravenholdt. This is very simple indeed. Grind mobs til revered, and then grind lockboxes til exalted. I spend around 20-25 hours to get all the lockboxes I needed.
* Darkmoon Faire, is argueably the easiest faction to raise, however that is if you got !@#$ loads of gold. By the time I started on my darkmoon faire rep as the last faction, I had only spend 1 month. Now almost 2 months later, im not done with DMF yet. The way im doing this, is just buying every epic deck on AH (Yes im RICH!) think I've spend 25k on decks and cards so far.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
Right now during the Feast of Winter Veil is the time to get your Steamwheedle Cartel rep back! Most of the quests for the Smokywoods Pasture grant Steamwheedle Cartel rep, all four pieces of it. Even better, they DO NOT lower your Bloodsail Buccanners rep. This is the perfect time to save yourself a few DM runs!
Happy farming!

Edit: The Dire Maul runs can't be done any more as of Cata. :( I'll leave the comment intact to preserve a little bit of Insane lore.

to be honest i find the hardest part to be the part where you get 84 pristine black diamonds. these diamonds are realy rare since no one does scholo/strat anymore,and i see people selling those for 500 gold per one. and since they got such a low drop rate i dont think i can consider them to be farmable.
does anyone have any idea how to easly(well...) get those?

Just a confirmation for players who are looking to begin the Reputation Insanity...
You DO NOT need to be Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers at the same time as being Exalted with the Steamwheedle Cartel.
I confirmed this by using the script code to track achievement progress with "Insane in the Membrane" ( /script AddTrackedAchievement(2336) ) on a Level-1 alt and comparing this with my Level-80 main who was Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. As was expected, the Level-1 alt still needed the Honored w/ Bloodsail portion and my Main did not. I then did a few cloth turnins in Winterspring to get my Reputation below Honored. When I did this, Honored w/ Bloodsail portion didn't reappear--meaning I still have that portion completed.
What's the importance of this? Well, instead of killing something like 20k pirates to regain your Steamwheedle Cartel reputation while not touching your Bloodsail Reputation, you can do cloth turnins to regain Neutral status (around 1.5k gold in cloth). This should speed things up somewhat. Also, if you're playing a DK or happened to not have done quests with the goblin factions, you can now, after getting back to neutral w/ the goblins, do low level quests to get to around revered with the Steamwheedle Cartel (since you don't have to worry about your Bloodsail Reputation). This method is not for perfectionist players but if you're short on time, this can make the achievement more attainable to some.

Once u get Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers you can betray them for rep with the Steamwheedle Cartel, because that credit towards the achiv has already been made.

Hey,
I've been farming for this achievement for a bit (honored with Bloodsail, working on Steamwheedle), and I'm wondering, is this achievement going to be removed in Cataclysm? Because the Goblins are joining the Horde, and their changing the "Classic" landscape a lot. Also, I didn't really get what other people were saying, in DM do the Librams drop wholly, or do you need to get someone to make it for you.
Appreciate the help

I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, but I just discovered a way to get 1500 more Shen'dralar rep if you're a blacksmith. I had both halves of Advanced Armorsmithing Volume 1, so I decided to combine them. You turn the book in to the Lorekeeper in the Athenaeum 550 rep for my human warrior... Volume 2, off the AH cheap, for another 550, and looking for volume 3 now. As Pristine Black Diamonds average 200-300g on my server, I am really excited about saving myself part of the headache, and having three extra librams to sell. Cheers!

I am now insane . lycanthrope on eonar. I thought I'd post some random thoughts.
The meat and potatoes of this achievement is the shen'dralar rep, its so encompassing and will take a bulk of your time completing. It's definately worth it to do shendralar rep and the goblins at the same time in diremaul north. by the time I had freed knot to gain exalted with the goblins I must have found about 60 books, the rest I bought in the auction house.
Thru all that grinding high level mobs I may have found MAYBE 5 pristine black diamonds, the rest I bought. Just to give you an idea of how rare they are.
keep enough mats to do 10 of each book turn ins, its nice when you run out of the mats to break up your DM grind and head to the plaguelands.
learn about the droprate of the gordok shackle key, and really maximize your droprate. I got so good and fast at key turnins that I easily hit the instance max / hour. at that point I would take time to get lockboxes and darkmoon rep.
it took about 4 darkmoon fairs to get exalted selling decks, and working the auction house and selling decks on alliance AND horde side I actually made TON OF MONEY . so much that this whole grind was a big moneymaker at the end.
it was invaluable to have : travelers tundra mount - selling junk repairing. argent squire for mailbox, bank. also by a ton of waterwalking elixirs so when you set your hearth to feathermoon. you can mount across water instead of waiting for the accursed boat.
To get exalted with the goblins by killing pirates, you would have to be INSANE!
well, thats it I wish you luck !

I'm rather confused concerning steemwheedle + booty bay rep, I ticketed a GM just to clarify what's been said already, and he did say I supposedly need both reputations at once. So I then toggled the script that has been linked previously, to see if I had done the bloodsail part, and it said that I still needed to aquire the rep - I did it in TBC. I'm guessing this does mean I'll have to do both bloodsail + steemwheedle once again - or have any of you had the same problem and still managed to get this achievement without re-doing Bloodsail Buccaneers + Steemwheedle farm?

i asked a GM about this issue, and it was confirmed that you no longer need to keep your reputation with bloodsail buccaners aswell as being exalted with all goblin factions at the same time. so you can do the hand ins with cloth or what it is which goes quick.

Anyone knows for sure and is 100 % sure if you get the achievement if you get exalted with the Steemwheedle cartel (Booty Bay, Everlook, Ratchet, Everlook) first then you start your rep with Bloodsail Bucaneers, which makes you lose your rep with steemwheedle?
Does this count?

I am nearly finished (3000 Ravenholdt Reputation left) with this achievement and want to share some of my experience.
First look at this pages:
http://files.spectralcoding.com/files/wow/index.html
http://www.wowwiki.com/Insane_in_the_Membrane
You need Moll-E or the Argent Squire with the upgrade (to get the squire you have to do the dailys every day for 27 days, do it) without it is the hell. Both are better but not necessary (i got only the squire). Reason see below.
Get a Mail addon to autoloot the Mailbox without it you got insane before you really started.
Now first about the AH:
Get auctioneer! It is a really good addon. At the beginning a bit complicated but it is a time and money saver. You will thank the creator when you sell the mats you farmed and when you buy the huge amount of mats.
If you really want this achievement you have to check the AH after you start WoW and bevor you exit WoW
Reasons:
- Librams (Focus/Protection/Rapidity): Not really often in the AH because the librams are only dropping in DM. If you see one buy them! Expect every prize from 15 Gold to 250 Gold. When i finished with Shendralar i got some Librams. Protection and Focus sold for 180 Gold. Rapidity for 50 Gold. Believe me you will need them.
- Pristine Black Diamond: Same as Librams! When i was finished with Shendralar i sold some for 180 G. Pay every prize when you think it is OK, because they are not really farmable and you need 82-84 Diamonds as nonhuman!
- Decks/Single Cards (Rogues, Mages, Warlord, Prism...) for Darkmoon Reputation
- Pigment and Ink to create Decks and Cards
- Sell the mats you got while you earned when you where farming
- mote of life, eternal life.... for the decks
If you use the AH well money shouldnt be your problem if start with an amount of ~ 20k Gold
Create a char on the other faction and check the AH of the opposite faction, too! I got a lot of my librams and Diamonds and some cards and decks from the other AH!
Funny sidenote! When i started with farming Darkmoon Reputation the rare cards were really cheap but after a few weeks some people noticed that they could sell the cards and the prizes were rising. When i was nearly finished they were really expensive. After i got my Darkmoon Reputation the prizes went down!
Bloodsail:
Group and farm until 11999/12000 honored then turn in the Bloodsail Admiral Quest to get Revered. If you finish with something like 1100/12000 honored you will always think: &*!@, i should have farmed the rest of the reputation, but you cant because you already start farming Steamwheedle Reputation
Darkmoon:
Depends on your money, prizes in your AH, how many people are going for the achievement (on your server, of course) and how much do you like to herbalism-farming!
What i did: Set yourself a limit how much money you want to spend for every reputation point. Dont forget you have to pay Librams and Diamonds, too. I expect to pay 20k money for the achievement what was nearly my complete money.
Example: I said to myself at the beginning i want to spend around 15 G (later i went up to 30g) for the small Decks (Rogues, Mages etc.). This is including as an example rogue cards for up to 5g and as mage cards for up 4g! The big decks depends on the fact how good you could sell the trinkets in the AH. If you got a nobles Deck for 3k and you could sell the trinket for 3,5k you get money! But a vanilla deck for 300g is maybe only selling for 150G any you loose 150g.
Herbs: On my server i couldnt afford the herbs for the cards (i just bought the cards and the pigment!). The reason is quite simple. On my server was an inscription guy who was making a huge amount of money with the glyphs but he was selling the green ink in the AH. So i made a deal that he was selling every green ink to me! So i only had to farm buy the common pigment for the cards! Later he realized he could make even more money when he create the cards and sell them in the AH... (luckly i was nearly finished at this point)
Steamwheedle:
Farming pirates is complete bull!@#$ EXCEPT you got a huge amount of librams through other players or the AH! But i am pretty sure you wont!
Reason:
Against the theory only to farm the bosses in dm. Farm the ogres too because you need the librams, they drop also the key and you only have 5 ids per hour! The best way is you have the key of the run before. Then kill the Ogres find a new key, free Knot and loot the new Key.
Pull as much as possible but not too much because the noncaster ogres before the door stun and silence and as a caster class you are really &*!@ed up if you pull too much. Use line of sight to pull also caster mobs (they are no harm to you and die pretty quickly.
I cleared mostly of the ogres before the door (not all) and every ogre after the door until Captain Kromcrush. With this strategy i only left the id a few times without freeing Knot.
If you have enough junk for a vendor and you dont have the mount go to the libary there is a vendor where you can also repair.
If you have enough junk for the AH use Moll-E or the squire.
If you are deep in the instance (as an example you are at Captain Kromcrush) and no key dropped on your way DONT WALK BACK to the entrance! Log out and check the AH or/and farm junkboxes and/or herbs! Junkboxes NOT in LBRS because so you waste one of your instance-ids! They are coupled with all your chars on your Server/Account. You only have five! After 5-6 minutes log back to your main, leave dm, reset and farm again. This just save you 2-3 minutes per run but you have to do ~ 220 runs
So i got an average reputation output of ~ 1500 reputation per hour (without costume) + farming herbs/boxes
I farmed Steamwheedle Reputation only this way and at the end i sold 10 Librams in the AH but bought a lot of Librams before in the AH. So you should prefer this way.
Shendralar:
If you dont have an squire or moll-e and a libram drops you have to go to the libary because if another drops you cannot loot it (believe me nothing is more frustrating). So get the squire.
Most of the people think the Librams of Rapidity is complete worthless because farming Blood of Heroes is complicated. This is nonesense.
Look at the wowhead section for Blood of Heroes. There are two, one for the looted Blood and one for the Blood on the ground. Look at the comments. Get the coordinates of the Blood, combine it with TomTom or gatherer and voila you can easily farm blood. You get about 8-16 per hour.
Skin of Shadow drops also of the mobs in the Darkmaster Gandling room and dont forget the darkmaster. He has the chance to drop one of the vanilla aces!
Ravenholdt:
When you hit revered there is only one option: LBRS! It is easily doable with a rouge lvl 65. There are enough mobs and when you are at wymthalak, jump down and you could pickpocket the first mobs again. Hearthstone in Ironforge. Against the data of wowhead the droprate is arround 10% (look at wowwiki)! For 65 Boxes i need 35 -50 minutes (with hearthstone Ironforge and back to LBRS).
Look for Heavy Junkboxes in the comments how to quickly pickpocket the mobs.
Tyrs Hand is only nice (not better) if you farming DM with your main and log out actually to get back to the entrance (reason: lbrs cost an instance id, tyrs hand not. You only have 5 ids per hour on your whole server/account).
Have Fun

Insane does not even begin to describe this achievement. Torture is more appropriate. I have yet to see anybody on any server with the title, and I've had toons on three. IF you complete this, you are truly elite.

To much work when the only reward you get is a crummy title. Make it worth more by giving something else like a cool mount or something, Anything.

I lost my sanity aswell.. I do not want to add another comment about pirates :) It's now obvious for everyone that you SHOULD turn in cloths when you are hated with cartel. Make your OWN plan, pop some energy drinks and that achievement is feasible. It's really important to have 2 bank characters to camp both alliance and horde AH. Do not even dare to farm herbs in order to create lesser decks. My suggestion is that earning gold is much easier than farm all those mats you gonna need. (Diamonds are NOT farmable so do not look for the best spot to find them)
Feel free to create a character and ask me if you need any details for your journey!

The above of the most practical guidelines to follow (fairly close with what I ended up doing).
A few additional things to keep in mind are vending and mailbox needs. By now it's worthless (at least on Deathwing) to sell the ogre suits, so between simply wearing the suits and having libram mats on hand eliminates the need to go to town (I vend on a Traveler's mammoth if I did not do a libram turn-in).
Paladin tip:
Go prot, make only 3 pulls per instance - takes you 6-8 minutes to get to Knot. Stop only to loot bodies (loot everything, barring insects or dogs), tannin basket if you are low on tannin, or Knot. Brute like to knock you up so if there are 6+, you can DS to run unhindered. It is possible to do pull 1 &2 together but you'll have at least 10 Brutes on your butt... not particularly fun.
...pull 1: pull whatever's in reach of the straight shot from the entrance to the first boss (stun him), go up the ramp, there should be a little niche straight ahead; park yourself there with your pack once you pull Kreeg. (the mages become annoying as they run out a little ways to cast FB; Arcane Torrent + AS usually pulls them back in). Loot (dump the yellow Inner Key).
...pull 2: Same thing, pull everything in arm's reach in a straight shot towards the center of the next courtyard. If you have been running since the entrance you should be able to grab Fengus along with whatever else. Go down the South ramp (facing the locked courtyard door it'd be to the left), and hide on either side of the ramp. Loot and kill.
... pull 3: Grab key, unlock door. Heal to full, mana up to a decent level (your mileage may vary, my tank gear is only at Naxx25 since it is offspec). Sacred Shield yourself, and start running, grab absolutely everything. Be sure to drop at least 2 Consecrates to kill the bugs (you don't need their loot anyway). Cleanse off Cripples, ignore other stuff; once you get to the top, check DS (very important), pop it and jump all the way off to the bottom ramp, and around the center divider wall (LoS; you can just wait at the first turn I guess). Don't loot if you previously had a key, go free Knot, then check loot. After all that you can check the red book spawn beneath the bottom ramp and grab your tannin before leaving for reset.
Sometimes I get no keys, usually I get at least one (three in one run is the pits ;\). If I run in with a key already I simply skip to pull 3, free Knot, then work backwards if I do not get another key. I skip the very last section half out of laziness, half out of efficiency (too many dogs, nothing necessary drops out of the chest). While I find this is much faster than doing it ret, I frequently run into the hour reset limit, and cannot find a mod that tracks it (Loot & Reset doesn't seem to work atm). Rapidity librams drop most frequently, followed by Protection, then Focus, for me at least.
Best part of DM farming is the Happy Rocks. I save them up and chuck them at people who afk over the Dalaran north Bank well.
Good luck.

Can we please get confirmation on whether you need to keep the reputation at the Achievement requirements to earn the achievement (Mainly talking about Cloth hand-ins for Steemwheedle reputation), for patch 3.3+ onwards.

So as of now in patch 3.3 do you need to have all of the reputations at what the achievements want them at? Or can you just have had the rep there at one point. I'm having trouble deciding what rep to do first if the bloodsail rep needs to stay at honored. Please and thanks for the responses! <33

I am done with everything except Ravenholdt and the Goblins and I'm getting very close to the Goblins. I used a script mentioned in an earlier post to track my achievement as I go, and despite trashing my Bloodsail rep with Cloth turn ins I'm showing the Bloodsail part as completed.
That said, I advise doing the turn ins starting with whatever cloth is cheapest on your server. On mine the order is
linen, silk, runecloth, then mageweave. If you start on Linen and get to nuetral with Ratchet, the splash over rep from doing the next ones up (ie silk in booty bay, runecloth in everlook) will get you at least half way through friendly with Ratchet. After that, I alternately killed Wastewanders in Tanaris and Southsea pirates in The Barrens, depending on my mood.
I don't know why no one has mentioned it, but while wastewanders are further apart then the pirates in Lost Rigger cove, they drop a lot of the water pouches. Water pouches, according to the quest page, are good for rep until exalted, not a huge amount, but enough that it is completely worth killing and looting these mobs as long as they give rep (up until friendly), also, buy any that you happen to see on either auction house, and try offering to buy them from lowbies questing in the area. Also, mageweave is a good way to make back your money from those nasty diamonds, though you'll see more "tough scorpid" leather patterns than you can stand. Also, I've noticed that while you cease getting Gadgetzan rep at friendly for wastewanders, you continue to get 2-3 splash over rep for the other factions and Caliph Scorpidsting awards around 15 rep even at this point. The chests in this area are also great for truesilver bars, a nice addition. I do suggest doing this with a vendor mount to get rid of your trash drops.
Ratchet Pirates are also great for rep simply because of the fact that they can be dispatched with a single "ice lance." I macroed "/tar southsea /cast ice lance" and ran around having a field day. I stopped looting after awhile because if you don't stop to loot you can make a full circle from the bottom, starting right after the area with the theramore marines, up the little path, over the top of the bluff, slow fall down into the first path, and start again. The loop is quick and provides a ton of rep. I'm planning to max out my goblin rep then finish leveling my rogue. I just hate dividing my attention between two toons when there is still so much to do on my main, but it is so close now I can taste it.

Here is my the achievement as i did it.
I started with the Bloodsail rep. I did it with a mage and it only took a few hours.
After this i found a Rogue in trade channel, which i payed 15000g to find me the boxes i needed for Ravenholdt rep.
Shendralar rep: This is the pain in this achievement which i saw many have mentioned. The Pristine black diamonds are rare. Forget what ever ppl tell you or you have read about farming these yourself. During the 2 months i used to get my insane title i only managed to find 1 myself! Buy all you can on AH and also create an alt to check the opposite AH aswell. I bought about 60 of my librams and farmed the last 24 in Dire Maul north. The Blood of heroes, Abomination Stichins and Skin of Shadow are easy to get. Don't (like me) be affraid of buying Libram of Rapidity. The blood of heroes are easy to find.
While i checked AH for diamonds i focused on my cartel rep. It is a lot faster to get rep by killing the pirates south of ratchet than to farm the key quest, but when you reach revered with Ratchet you have to do the "free knot" quest untill you reach Exalted. Don't even consider go to tanaris to kill pirates since the spawn rate and health on them are too high. Ratchet is the place. In DM you are not sure that you will get the key. I was unlucky and tried not to get a single key in 4 full clears!
The Darkmoon Faire rep is expensive. Like other have wrote there is 2 ways. First one is to make rogues deck from low lvl herbs. But you need 1400+ decks to reach Exalted, and the chance you get the hunters ink from milling is so low that you shouldn't even think about this. Go for the epic deck. I farmed herbs in Sholazar Basin. This will take like forever to create the epic decks all by yourself so i also bought a lot. Unlucky for me, the average epic deck price on my server was 600-800g each (Nobles deck not included) which made it even more difficult. You will no matter what need insane amounts of gold to get exalted but you can sell the trinkets with only a little loss on gold. If some shouldn't know, you can turn in 10 ink of the sea for 1 snowfall ink at the Inscribtion trainer in Dalaran.
Hope it could help you a bit to get your imba title!

WELL! i just got mine today... prematurely from what i thought also... i did bloodsail when i was a fresh 80 DK early in Wrath, and after that i did loremaster and got my steamweedle rep up there, started grinding that in DM, got my shen'dralar rep, darkmoon faire rep, and ravenholdt, and then steamweedle to exalted, and no achiev... paged a GM and they said since 3.1 you need all reps simultaneously(sp?) so i started grinding bloodsail back to honored, to redo steamweedle also... as soon as i hit honored bloodsail(hated by all steamweedle) i got my achiev...
this IS in 3.3 here is a link to screenshot

This feat appears to be a reference to the Cypress Hill song "Insane in the Brain". A common line in the song is "Insane in the Membrane, Insane in the Brain." I suggest you listen to this sweet song throughout the entire grind to show just how LOCO you are!

I was wondering.. I stand hated with the Bloodsail Buccaneers at this moment.. but I'm doing Free Knots to raise my Steemwheedle reputation up.. Can someone tell me this is/isn't pointless? Do I really have to go back to killing the Goblins again to raise my Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation up then do the Free Knots to raise my Steamwheedle Cartel reputation up? Thanks !

I got about halfway to completing this before coming here to get some advice. Seems I am doing a few of the things mentioned and a few things not. I have found though that the easiest way to go about getting most of this done is to have other people do as much for you as possible saving your time for grinding the BoP items that are necessary.
With the amount of gold floating around in the game today I beleive this Feat has become easier in time consumption but costlier in the amount of gold needed to complete, at least the way I am going about it. I find my guildees are usually in need of gold for one thing or another so I gave then pre-set prices for what I need. They CoD me, gining them the gold they need and the mats I want.
I use five level 80 characters and one bank alt to support an income of about 5000 G each week and all the professions associated. All this gold goes back into the AH or to guildees for Librams, Pristine Black Diamonds, Heavy Junkboxes, and the herbs needed for DMF cards. I hang out in Dungeon Que while killing pirates for the Cartel rep. Looting the pirated takes a bit of time but the money I have made selling bolts of cloth has gone right back into getting the mats for the other reps. All trash goes to the mammoth vendor saving me time to continue killing pirates.
Once my bank alt has sufficent mats pre package them and head off to DM to start turning in Librams my Argent Squire has readily available. I usually do about 10 or so turn-ins before the squire will not let me have access to the mail box. Logout and come back in he morning ready to turn in some more.
There is no way around getting the BoP mats and I am not doing anything other than what is already atated here.
Hope this helps someone. It is not the fastest or perhaps the easiest but it give you alot of time off the grind while playing and gearing other characters.

I have done the Steamwheedle grind both ways and have to say that in hindsight doing Dire Maul was much easier and more profitable. I ended up selling the epic patterns I'd get from Knot's cache and actually made several thousand gold selling them on the auction house. I also got a bunch of Darkmoon cards as drops in DM, a few Pristine Black Diamonds, about 60 librams (the rest I had to buy on the auction house), tons of runecloth, old school recipes, all things that I was able to sell for a profit. The trick with DM is to try to go in with a key and come back out with a key, and generally a key does drop (although, as people have noted you will get unlucky a few times and not get a key at all!). Also, do the Ogre suit quest, as the cache usually contains rugged leather you can use and just restock when you open the next cache (I'm a tailor so I was able to make the bolts of runecloth, but you can always have a friend or guildmate help you here and make a bunch of bolts for you). I noticed that if you are, say in 251 gear when you grind pirates you are going to be losing money because you get a repair bill when you kill them for long periods of time without stopping. You also won't be getting much money (if you loot them at all) or be working simultaneously on Shendra'lar rep. And, I have to say, I literally went insane from farming all those pirates for so little rep apiece the first time around!

Finished this entire Achievement over the course of 1 month. I play a level 80 DK, had a level 70 rogue alt.
Farmed all Librams in DM West, at the same time partying with my Rogue alt who had enchanting (to get LBS).
Got all 84 in 4 days. The next 3 days I did all the Skins of shadow, Blood of heroes, Abom stitching (This whole time buying PBD's from the AH). Was exalted with shen'dralah after 7 days.
I then went and did Ravenhodlt, took me half a day to get to revered, and then the next 4 days I got all the lock boxes, at about 300-400 a day.
I did 2 hours of quick farming for Honored Pirates, and then started on Goblins. I've only done key runs, and maybe the time has taken me longer than it should be it's taken me 8 days of farming to get to exalted.
This entire time I was buying Greater decks from the AH skipping nobles for no more than 500 gold. This part of the achievement took me the longest, but really buying from the AH isn't hard work at all.
If you add these days up you get 19 days. That's basically 3 weeks of farming for the insane title for me. Sure I spent heaps of gold, but this achievement really isn't as hard as people say it is.
I made this post not to tell people strategy in how to do it, but show people that it's really not a HUGE effort that people make it out to be.

I am in the process of going for this achievement, do not attempt it if you are in doubt about following it through as you will lose all your goblin rep if you have done the quests which means getting it back will be a chore.
As it stands I have just got to hostile with goblins after many, many runs of dire maul, 5 more librams though and I have my exhalted with shen'dralar. My advice for these is get as many librams of protection as you can 1st. The drop rate for frayed stitching is a least 1 per strath run and you only need one for the hand in, unlike the focus and rapidity librams which require 2 of each correpsonding mat. Shadow skin as a fairly decent drop rate but not as high as stitching. Blood of heroes is seemingly very random. I went 3 days with out a single one then 12 turned up.
Its worth doing the ogre suit quest, 75 rep may not seem much but your looking at approximately 200 dire maul runs if you want to get rep that way based upon just the key quest. Many people just kill the pirates after completeing Shen'dralar. I'll try this out but as an enchanter I find that I am making money out of de'ing the loot from dire maul, strath and scholo (thank you blizzard for boa gear, I sell the mats then charge fee for enchant ) as well as getting bountiful supplies of runecloth for the ah. Certainly helps pay for any librams and diamonds you may want to buy to get it done quicker.
Darkmoon is going to be expensive, but be clever, it comes round every few weeks, use that time to buy individula cards, on my server I'm paying anything between 15-110 gold for a card but full decks are average of 500. If I pay 110 for a card its usually the final one I need to complete the deck so it does work out cheaper. Some people offer money to hand in decks for others before passing the trinket back, this will work okay unless some twat ninja'd lots of people doing it in which case the uptake on what is a great offer will be low. Obvioulsy it depends on the economy on your server.
Ravenholdt, not sure on this, havn't done much yet apart from kill a few mobs to satisfy curiosity, seems like a nice quick repsawn on them and very easy kills. You can either just kill, kill and kill or stop to loot, depending on your server is what makes the difference. stacks of woolcloth sell for 10-15 gold on mine on a good day so its worth looting them, if they sell for pennies then ignore. I have a rogue alt so lbrs farm will be boring but cheap. if you have lots of gold or no rogue then pay someone else to do it in my opinion.
Anyway, if you are undertaking this then I wish you good luck

Just got the achievement tonight, exalted with all Goblins but bottomed out with Bloodsail Buchaneers. This is on the Arygos server, so yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes, you can get this without having all the reps at the same time.

This is to clear the mysticism surrounding the instance cap that people seem to be confused about and provide a means to keep track of it if you want to seriously min/max your farming efforts. The instance cap is set at 5per hour, meaning you can only hold onto 5 unique instances in a one hour chunk of time.
Once I've finished my first run and have reset the instance and zoned into the second run I check the time and jot it down. One hour from that time I'll be able to zone into my 6th instance. To push the envelope you want to jot down the times for all of your runs, so that you can better keep track of when your consecutive instances open up. For example: If I started my 2nd run @ 1405, started my 3rd run @ 1415, 4th run @ 1430, and 5th run @ 1438 it's pretty easy to see that you would have to wait another 27 minutes to zone into your 6th run @1505. To start your 7th run you would have to wait until 1515, thats when your 2nd run would fall off, and so on.
For people who are seriously considering this feat it is highly advised that you have an herbalist & inscriptionist alt. My server seems to have a severe shortfall of inscriptionists who make cards so finding decks/cards to buy is a harrowing experience. I find it necessary to supplement this by making my own lvl70 decks. I keep a lvl80 herbalist ret paladin in Skettis and while I'm on wow, I'll do my best to log her and kill the Talonsworn Forest Ragers who seem to respawn every ~5-7 minutes. Each mob can be herbed for 2 random drops of 2-5 outland herbs and 2-5 motes of life. There are a total of 4 spawns. After a lot of playtesting this seems to be most efficient way possible of creating cards for "The Insane."
In my experience the best places to "farm" pristine black diamonds would be Scholomance and ZG. If your AH never has PBDs on it or if they are always posted for 400g+ and you're a cheap person like myself I would suggest trying these places out. ZG is the most cost benefit for your time due to the chance of selling bijous/coins and possibly the raptor pets but Scholo is nice as well while you're grinding out those skins of shadow or dualbox grinding your alt rogue levels.
Godspeed.

Short background, I am working on Insane in the membrane title and the last two parts i have to do are Shendrelar and Darkmoon. I have all the stuff i need for darkmoon and am just waiting for the date to turnin. For shendrelar i got 23 focus, 39 rapidity and 15 rapidity. I wish i had gotten more rapidity but so it goes... So after reading this info on the gathering of these I was almost dreading the 78 blood of heroes I had to collect. I kept putting it off. The other day i had a couple days off work so I decided to get started. The first attempt at it I only managed to get about 6 in a two hour period. I'm not sure if somebody else was out there or what. The second night I started around midnight. t his time i used a friends account to duel box with a paladin for the crusaders aura. I had used the wowdatabase and gatherer to show all the point s on the map. First time out I got about 30 of them in 3 hours. I did this by starting up around strat in EP then across the crack around the middle of the map over to the lights chapel then down around tyrs hand. I basicly played connect the dots for a few hours. The were just flowing one by one. it was amazing. I decided to sleep and when I woke up I got back to it. I again followed the same course I did the day before, this time I also moved over to WPL to try to get move. They were even easier to find than before. I collected a total of 78 in about an 8 hour timeframe. I wish i had more of them to collect at this point because i think its easier than the scholo and strat grinds for the other parts. Anyway, April 4th i will be Krazycalvin The Insane!

Two points on this.
Firstly, Dresorull confirmed that they changed the rep requirement to "At some point" instead of "at the same time" in 3.1.
Secondly, to make the aftermath easier, grind your Buccaneer rep to Honoured first. Start by grinding up 168 stacks of Runecloth, 84 stacks of Silk and 42 stacks of Linen or Mageweave. I did this in Stratholme and Scholomance while collecting the stitchings and skins.
Then burn up your BB rep while getting to Buccaneer Honoured, and once you're done with that step, go and hand in all the cloth, Everlook first, then Booty Bay, then whichever other one you chose. This gives you free rein to travel again and use things like the Neutral AH. It also means the Free Knot quests don't need to get you as much rep as they did.
You might call it 'micro managing' but I call it being able to pace out your rep grind while still having access to the BB<->Ratchet boat, and the various flight paths etc. You don't have to do Free Knot repeatedly without being able to use the boat. It also means not having to fix up your Steamwheedle rep afterwards, and since we're all completionists, you finish with 4 exalted reps instead of 1 honoured and 4 hated.

Just for clarity, Insane in the Membrane will not be removed in Cataclysm. We can only confirm this one for you, but since it's undoubtedly one of the most brain-melting achievements, we thought it nice to let you know that you don't have to rush to have this done before the expansion. ;)

So, I've seen a lot of posts about different strats to getting this achievement/title.
But everyone seems to be forgetting one HUGE thing.
Make sure you're keyed for Scholomance before trashing your goblin reps. I personally didn't think about that, and was forced to grind the goblin reps back up to neutrl before I could think about touching Shendralar.
Here's my strat.
Prepping-
1. Get keyed for Scholo, if you're not already(or if you're not a Blacksmith/rogue)
2. Level a rogue. Most people say you should have a rogue thats lvl 65+. If you don't already have one, there is really no need to go above 55. Just make sure you have the appropriate points in subtlety.
3. Bank alt. Most of us have one anyway. Yours will be a nice place to store Librams, or possibly junkboxes, until you're ready to use them. Also can be used to search the Auction House for Pristine Black Diamonds and cheap Decks/Cards.
4. Farm the BoP items for the librams beforehand. Not all of them, just enough so that when you go to Dire Maul, you don't need to use a mailbox/squire very often.
Grinding-
1. Pirates- Destroy Booty Bay for around 2-3 hours. If possible get a few people to help. (I got lucky and found a few people that wanted Bloodsail Admiral, and as soon as they found out I was going to work on this achieve, were happy to help with the extras.)
2. Goblins- Cloth turn-ins until neutral. Yes, this trashes your bloodsail rep, but as stated several times before, you do not need all the reps at the same time.
3. Shendralar- Run Dire Maul North. Stick with North unless you're already exalted, or have been exalted with the goblins. The West wing has a better drop rate for the librams for a lot of people, but the keys will be needed to turn get exalted with the goblins.
4. Ravenholdt- Farm syndicate mobs in Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad Foothills until 11999/12000 Honored. Then it's off to LBRS. Don't waste your time at Tyr's Hand. The droprate of the boxes is so low there, that you'll burn yourself out before you get started. If you have a large stock of gold, you may also buy junkboxes off of some friendly rogues on your server.
5. Darkmoon Faire- Rogues decks work, but very slowly. I'd only suggest using Rogues if you are a very small distance away from exalted and the Faire isn't active. The best way to do this is to have an Scribe yourself, or possibly a guildy/friend that makes a lot of decks. I found one that made 20 cards per day, and sold the rep from the decks for 200g (150g for guildies) each.
The biggest thing about this grind for me was to avoid getting burned out on one single part. If you feel yourself getting bored or frustrated with one part, move on to another. And whatever you do
Ignore the people that say you'll never make it!
Happy Hunting

Let me begin by saying... you guys have it so easy now. I even had it easy, just cost me a lot more cos Darkmoon Cards were expensive at the time. But i still agree with the first post when he says if your in for an easy ride then forget it! Took me 6 months of making cards through inscription and about 2 months of full on pirate and mats farming.
First things first. Decide your route. Some people dont have certain professions that can benefit your journey. For example Inscription. I decided to level it on my main for the extra shoulder enchant anyway, its a great prof. If you cant or cbf lvling another prof for this achieve then my suggestion is to just buy decks/cards.
If I miss any factions, its because they are easy and you can figure them out yourselves =D
Darkmoon Faire...
As I said, i decided to lvl inscription for this, for a few reasons. The guide says to buyout rogue decks... that is stupid and a waste of money. I worked out that it costs aprox 43k gold... too much... so I made the decks myself. I made all my decks, starting with 2k gold. When id finally reached exhalted I had made back about 45k gold. The price of herbs now is a joke. So the profit isnt as great, but the cost is so cheap you can get to exhalted in no time.
Auction House for cheap decks/cards is another great option. Some people just have too many cards and sell them for really cheap. Excellent for cheap rep.
Another thing which hastened my journey was having a few people to trade nobles or other cards with. This really helped. Maybe a guildy or friend also farming The Insane.
(At this point, if you have the spare gold I highly recommend a Tundra Mammoth. the vendor/reagent and the repair is priceless when farming mobs)
Shen'Dralar.....
This one gave me the poops.... And so did the many guides i read about it.... First things first.... collect the friggen side mats you need! Blood Of The Heroes mainly because the spawn rate. They are the rare spawns of blood which appear randomly in EPL and WPL. While you farm these its also good to get stitching and shadows from strath/scholo and buying Librams and Prismatic Black Diamonds whenever you're at the AH or in trade.
For the Bloods/shadows/stitching, i would do 2 whole runs of the whole area of EPL/WPL and collect what bloods I could find. After that I would spend 2 or so hours in Strath/Scholo. Every time I reset I would check the area Bloods would spawn close to the dungeons and repeat. This took me a long time.... But its a lot about luck. I had a friend who got them all in a few hours.... curse his luck! It took me about 60 hours over 5 days...... long days....
AFTER you have a mix of 86 set of side mats (If your an enchanter, dont bother buying Large brilliant shards. DE all the bosses in DM), This is when you enter DM and farm librams, If you have already bought some librams and Diamonds then bonus, go hand in what ever you can. At this stage if you have a friend with Engineering who can make you a mailbox next to the guy u hand in, double bonus! I had a lvl 60 priest mate going for the insane with a warlock helping me. We had his warlock summon us hehe. took ages, but its the Insane so yeh...
(At this point you want your goblin factions at revered)
Now you'll be farming bosses and ogres for librams and any keys you can find. I like to do a bit of math for running dungeons, and you'll have to run DM several times before finishing this achieve. If you get locked out thats a lot of down time, which is the last thing someone farming this achievement needs. 5 to 6 runs in 60 minutes is what you want. so theres 2 ways you would want to do this. 5 12 minute runs, or 6 10 min runs. obviously. Thus, preventing being locked out =D
Now keys and librams need to be taken into account when doing runs. They are unique and so you can only hold 1 of each(1 of ea libram). Lets assume you have no librams and no keys, you would farm all trash and bosses. If you have 1 key and 2 librams you would farm only bosses and trash that needs to be killed. Most trash you can avoid at 80. Personally, i would get 2 librams then hand in, always having the mats i had previously farmed on me at all times.
Another thing to do each run is to farm Ogre Tannin. That gives 75 shen dralar rep per hand in and chances to get up to 2 more in the ogre tannin box when you hand in. where you get the ogre tannin is where i would have my end point. I didn't bother going to the last boss. Also I dont think he drops a key.
Goblin factions + Bloodsail...
Obviously do Bloodsail first. Some keep farming rep then handing in runecloth to increase goblin and lose some bloodsail. Thats all well and good, but in the end of the day your going to have to farm some pirates.
FORGET ANY GUIDES that say Farming keys to do this is faster.... its not, its a waste of time at the early stage! After trying every spot mentioned in any guides, I concluded that the Pirates in Tanaris. Just behind Caverns Of Time. It takes around 17,000 kills to get to revered with all factions. Most people just stop once they reach revered with Gadgetzan.... You need to realize something. Goblin Rep is all about Everlook. There is no place to farm 5 Everlook rep. only 2 or 3. So just stick it out in Tanaris until your revered. Get some music ready =D a lot of it.
Once you reach revered is when you start farming DM and get both Shen'dralar and Goblin rep at the same time.
Ravenholdt all depends on your access to a rogue. 3 options. level a rogue, use a friends rogue, pay rogues to help you farm them. I chose options 2 and 3. I used a friends rogue and paid ppl 5g per box to farm in LBS.
The little advice ill give, because personally this one was the easiest for me, having a mate that let me use his rogue, first glyph with pickpocket range. 3 extra yards is excellent for not getting caught. Second, make a macro;
/targetenemy
/cast pickpocket (correct me if im wrong and ill edit. it might be /use not /cast)
I had that setup on my bars and just ran around spamming it. took me no time at all.
I hope this helps in one way or another =D Enjoy the farm!

Just to add on to all the comments about farming ratchet rep off the pirates south of Ratchet the equation (and yes I did this and died a little inside) for the rep is:
(amount of rep needed / 5 + amount of rep needed / 6) / 2 = the total number of kills necessary to get (lets just say) to neutral
Although Baron Longshore counts as 5 kills by himself.

Ok strategy I guess, but nothing thats reportedly faster.
Here's why:
* When farming Gobling rep you will do about 220-250 runs, or more depending on how many shackle keys you get. During that time you can also farm a *ton* of Ogre's for Ogres for Shackle keys (1 pr run, and 1 for the way out), Libram's and Pristine Black Diamonds. Librams dont drop more often than that when you have filled 100+ bagslots with random loot, you're likely to have found the librams you need.
You need 89 librams total for shen'dralar, and you're not going to get 89 pristine black diamonds by farmin Dire maul. Most people see 4 or 5 drop in the whole Insane grind, and if they got more they're either lying or got really lucky, getting more is not the norm by any means.
You should create a alt guild bank to store Librams that you either farmed or bought of trade chat/ah as they can store as many as you'd like. Dont waste time running to turn in 1 and 1 libram during your Dire Maul farm as its just a waste of time if you can avoid it. (Doesnt apply if you cant get rid of the one you're already carrying and one more drops, but hey).
Remember, if you get a drop, you always have your Argent Gruntling ready to send some mail away and make room for more!
A important sidenote: IF you choose to grind pirate rep, after you did Dire Maul, you're going to get to Hated with the Goblins, effectively making you unable to enter Rathchet, Gadgetzan, Booty Bay etc without getting attacked on sight. If you want to be able to visit those cities, you do the Pirate grind FIRST!

This is easy, but very time consuming. A few things you should start with to make it easier are obviously they are all optional but the one that say's optional before it i just mean that it helps but are in no way a major needed helper
1. a lvl 80 with a good source of income (someone who either has a lot of money or can rake it in by the thousands)
2. (optional) a group of people also after a rep or the achievement itself
3. hopefully your character is 70+ because the higher lvls will make this so much easier
Bloodsail reputation: (I have completed this part so i am knowledgeable about it) First things first go to your rep tab and set yourself to at war with steamwheedle cartel. First this is
VERY IMPORTANT
there are TONS of lvl 80's who if you should go to stormwind and say "LFM for Bloodsail Admiral achieve" you will have several messages probably. After you do this start somewhere in booty bay (i start at the top where the leaders are) and work your way outside. Once you do this you will probably be about halfway to neutral. repeat until you are able to get the quests from the bloodsail buccaneers. this will only take a few hours varying depending on level.
I cant help with any of the other parts yet but i will update soon (i am working on this achievement all day tomorrow and will probably update tomorrow)

As long as you meet the requirement once, you're fine. In other words, upon reaching honored with bloodsail it forever gives you credit for that fact. The achievement does not say get these reps "all at the same time" or anything of the sort.
Hope that helps :)

OK guys, here's the answer to the question so many people ask. You DO NOT have to be Exalted with Steamweedle and Honored with Buccaneers at the same time to achieve Insane In The Membrane. I became exalted with the cartel FIRST and was very worried that I would never be able to gain the rep back once it reverted to hated as I fought on the pirate side.
SO ONCE AGAIN, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ORDER YOU DO THESE IN!

Question -
HOW certain are we that you do no need to be Honoured with Bloodsail and Exalted with the Goblins at the same time?
I'm Honoured with Bloodsail at the moment, just maxed out Honoured with Ratchet with pirate-farming, but decided to check out this page for some tips. And then i hear it's no longer an 'at once' achievement?
Of course when I check the achie status with the link function, everything's greyed out so I don't know what's been 'counted'.

Just something I thought of and thought of being worth for sharing.
Somehow I noticed that while being in a group u can gain reputation with the bloodsail faster while nuking goblins at Bb, in difference to all the mobs we must kill to achiev the insane with goblin exalted later. Now I am suggesting, when u hit honored u will probably be 0/36000 with the goblins at hated. But go on killing dudes and get 11999/12000 of honored! Why? Cause u can easily do
such qs
quiet sometimes after. Like that you can get 11k of goblin rep back faster =]

A guy on my realm just did the Insane, killing all the required Booty Bay guard first to increase Bloodsail reputation, and after that turning cloth in and eventually farming DM North to get exalted with the Cartel.
Here's the proof that you dont have to be exalted with Steamweedle and honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers at the same time:

You seem awful %^&*y with your strategy and I see plenty of wasted time involved, including grinding out all of the mats for the librams before you even have them... doing this assumes that you will get all of the right librams to drop, and there is a possibility that the mats that you spent hours farming will be wasted if you end up not needing to spend them. Everything else looks pretty good to me for the most part.
I have been planning for this achievement for a while and plan on hitting it full force as soon as I am done with loremaster. And this is how I plan on doing it.
Bloodsail- Of course just grind Booty Bay guards, I see no way around that.
Shen'dralar (or however it is spelled)- I think people will have to work indirectly on this rep for a loooong time, considering the drop rate for pristine black diamond is so low, and you will need about 77 of them(im a human). I suggest checking the AH every chance you get and buying out every one you see that is under 75g, and advertising trade once in a while on the off chance that someone has a couple sitting in their bank that they would get rid of for cheap. (this has happened a couple times for me(JACKPOT)).
The librams... I think that people are making a bigger deal of these than needs to be made. hear me out... Just advertise trade for a bunch of level 45-60 lowbies to get free runs through dire maul(most of the time you will get a couple takers) after you get them there you just go hog wild killing everything in your path, and having the lowbies loot the bodies. Since there will be more than one person... assuming you have 5 people in the party, that will be 15 librams before you have to drop a mailbox(if everything goes perfect) and even if it doesnt go perfect, you should be able to carry all of them until your mailbox is cooled down again( for gods sake either be an engineer, or do your argent tournament dailies to get the squire.) if you dont have one of those... i cant begin to fathom how much time you will be wasting.
Every time you drop a mailbox have your party members send them to a designated char(one of your alts) that has their own guild bank(i happen to have a toon that is the only one in his guild with a 3 tab guild bank) If you dont have an alt like this... make one, it is easy and cheap to get a guild bank, even if it is only one tab. At the end of the day I just log onto my Gbank alt and put all of the librams in the guild bank (you can put as many as you want in there, even if they are unique), once you have the required amount of librams, you can start grinding the mats for them, and you will know how many of each you need.
The goblin reps- Do the repeatable quest inside of dire maul every time you run your lowbies through. If you get excruciatingly bored of this, I think there is a repeatable quest on the coast of feralas that just requires you kill water elementals that are plentiful on the coast. I dont see this being one of the more difficult ones in that you dont have to do lots of different things, just hours of mindless grinding.
ravenhold- like the guy above said, get your rogue buddies to help you, or hire them. if you have a rogue make sure they have increased stealth speed, and as many weirdo speed increasing things as possible... goblin stop watch, swiftness potion, goblin rocket boots, movement speed enchant, you know. again, just hours of mindless grinding.
Darkmoon fair- The way I am approaching this is checking the AH every chance i get. just click the "quest" tab, and type in "of" in the search bar, and list them by the lowest bid. I go through and buy out every blue quality card i see that is under 15g(there is usually 2-3 of them that are only like 4g that people put up there not knowing what to do with them) like the librams, send them all to your Gbank alt, and organize them in the gbank so you can easily see when you almost have a complete deck. check for cheap decks also... but chances are if someone knew how to put a deck together, they knew how much it was worth, i have not seen an epic deck on the AH for less than 500g, and if you follow my above plan you should be able to get a deck for only 120g MAX.
Hopefully I gave some helpful suggestions to take the insanity requirement down for this title.

I got this achievement a few weeks ago, the farming part is not that hard, if you have the time and you usually spend it jumping around in Dalaran/Orgrimmar/Ironforge, and you want something to do, I recommend this. Took me around 3 or 4 months for my title, the last month I spent scanning the AH for decks. During those 3 months I might have spent 1-2 hours farming every day (sometimes more, sometimes nothing).
I have a very good tip: During Darkmoon Faire you might want to advertise that you want to trade in other's decks for them, just for the rep, and you want to pay them. I did this with my last ~30 decks, for every epic deck they wanted to turn in, I paid them 500g each, and gave them the trinket. On my realm this is a real bargain, since there are never more than 3-5 epic decks on the auction house, and they sell for 800-1500g each, and the trinkets re-sell for less than 500g. Berserker!'s sell for 150.
Want to recommend this for anyone in the late stages of the achievement, at this point you will know how hard it is to get hold of them on your realm :)
Good luck!

While doing this achievement, you may want to check all the
Heavy Junkbox
you get for the ultra-elusive
Teebu's Blazing Longsword
, but be sure to keep something else in the Junk box otherwise it will disappear. Also, if you manage to complete the
Shen'Drelar
reputation before the
Steamwheedle Cartel
reputation, you may want to farm the
Bloodsail Buccaneers
for the lowest drop rate item in the game, the
Hyacinth Macaw
while doing the last piece of the rep (the longsword may have a lower drop rate than the pet, but it cannot be confirmed because it has only been recorded to drop 4 times, so the odds may as well go up to 1/100,000). These items will probably sell for about up to 50,000 Gold, which is enough to pay for anything in the game. Also, if you accidentally didn't do the scholomance key questline you may as well go ahead and farm the hyacinth. Also, if you level a rouge for
Ravenholdt
, try grinding with the pirates to increase the chance of getting a Hyacinth.

I said
may
want to
if
they wanted some kind of elusive reward/had the right rep or, taking in to account that
if you complete it and just get all items that are green and higher and sell it it would be more than the Hyacinth macaw
would you not double your profits? This is just a suggestion, because it would save time if you were to want to get the pet in the future - you would have two farms in one. You may also be able to buy a lot more things with the extra money, instead of spending that on the pet if that were your intentions.
Also, other hard to get items/achievements like the
Time-lost Proto Drake
has many long and descriptive comments.

Tip on the Ravenholdt part: If you're enchanter, it's is TOTALLY worth it to disenchant every single Dagger you get from the Quest. I'm still on this, as my Rogue friend is still farming these boxxes for me and after 7.5/21k, I've been selling all of these Lesser Eternal Essence for 5.5g each, and dream dust for 40s each. Though, before making Greater Eternal Essence out of this, you'd better check the AH. Lesser ones turned out to more expensive then Greater ones on my server, and as it costs nothing to put Enchanting materials on the AH, it's no problem if you'll have to try and sell it a 3rd or 4th time.
With some quick math, you can see that you'll actually be able to earn back quite a bit of the 10k you had to spend on this. Let's take my repstatus as an example:
7.5k rep = 100 Quests completed = 500 boxxes turned in = 500 Daggers.
The daggers drop 1-2 Lesser Eternal Essence 76% of the time, and 2-5 Dream Dust 21% of the time. This results in:
500 daggers = 380x 1-2 Lesser Eternal Essence = ~570 of them.
+ 105x 2-5 Dream Dust = 368 of them.
On my server, this would result into 3135g from Essences and 147g 20s from Dust, making a total of
3282g 20s
. Now this proves to be quite accurate in my case, as I've earned about ~3150g from this so far.
Again, note that this is while I am
at a third of the repgrind
, so I can safely say I'll be able
to earn back atleast 9k in the end.
Prices will ofcourse depend on your server, but wether it's a tad more or less then the prices on my server, you'll probably be able to get back a pretty decent ammount of the gold you had to spend on this.

In grizzly hills, go to venture bay(down in south west) and kill the venture co. on the boat. They don't give much rep, but are a hell a of a lot better than running DM all day.

This is a good way, but there is another way to get bootybay,ratchet, gad, and everlook up without lowering the Bloodsail rep. Its time consuming, but easy. Killing the venture co workers north of booty bay yields 5 bootybay rep and 2 of everything else.

Trying to do this achiev myself, and already the Steamwheedle grind is making me grind my teeth.
My main problem is with the keys; since they are unique, I can only get one (or two if I rush to Knot) per run. However, I seem to have some sort of trolling problem where the game throws me about 3 keys a run. It even began to do it with librams; 3 Libram of Protection dropped in one run, and I nearly wept with fury.
The only reason I am grinding the hard way is because of how useful it is to other factions; librams/rarely a Pristine Black Diamonds (For Shen'dralar), cards (For Darkmoon Faire) and others. As soon as I have enough Librams, I'm running to Taranis to kill mobs and will never look back.
Although that being said, having two or more people along you can trust helps out things; they can absorb greys/vendor trash, store librams, and get free boosting all at once. So if you want to kill two birds with one stone (Steamwheedle and Shen'dralar) then take at least one or more persons with you; it helps, believe me.

This Feat of Strength was surely Not nerfed. The whole point of the Insane title is having to build up your reputation with the cartel from 0/36000.
But allowing it to still count if you don't have the required reputations all at the same time would definitely be a nerf. There are four ways to improve your rep with the Cartel when you're below neutral: killing pirates, rescuing Knot in DM and having him make suits, and repeatable turnins to traitors from the pirates outside each goblin town. Turning in stacks of cloth just takes a few minutes and is infinitely easier than the other methods, but the catch is, it lowers your reputation with the Bloodsail. So building up your reputation with the cartel from 0/36000 takes hours and hours of pirate-killing and/or DM-running if all reputations must be at level at the same time, but just 10 minutes and a few hundred gold worth of cloth if not.

If this works it would be genious, yet everyone still goes on about running DM over and over. No offense, but I'm a bit unwilling to plan my grinding based on the word of one single person.
Other people have said it works as well, and if people want to do this, go for it. However, I'd suggest DM for two reasons. First, because in DM you'll also get Librams and Pristine Black Diamonds and other stuff you need for other parts of the achievement. And second, because you would have to kill literally over 30 THOUSAND pirates this way, compared to only about 240 DM key runs. It can be done, but I think that might actually drive you crazy.

From wow.com, it looks like Dire Maul, Stratholme, and Scholomance are being downgraded to level 40ish instances, so if nothing changes for this achievement, future insane grinders will be running instances they outclass by 40 levels instead of just 20.

To add to the rep grind with steamweedle cartle, when killing the bandits in tanaris they drop wastewander water pouches which you can turn in 5 for 10 rep with Gadgetzan and 5 rep to Everlook, Ratchet and Booty bay. speeds the grinding up if you choose not to go DM.

Ok, i've seen mostly all of these guids for Goblins/Bloodsail.... Here is a damn easier way:
1: Get Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers by killing the Booty Bay guards.
2: Grind your rep up with cloth turn-ins at Booty Bay/Everlook/Ratchet/Gadgetzan, Start with Ratchet because of Linen/Empty Vials.
3: You should be at least Friendly/Honored most likeley Honored if you are a Human with Diplomacy Racial.
4: For Ratchet/Everlook/Booty Bay go to Tanaris and kill Tanaris Pirates/Bandits to get Exalted with Ratchet, Everlook, and Booty Bay(This is way better then farming for a key in DM)
5: Go south of Ratchet and kill those pirates to get Exalted with Gadgetzan(because the spillover rep with other goblin trade cities keep going, and the main city doesn't)
Hope this will help with the hellish task for a really epic title.
On a side note: when i tried on my hunter for Admiral title and I gave up; i got nearly revered with Ratchet by doing just the cloth-turn ins, as a Orc Hunter)

i would disagree with blood farming being hard. it really depends on server and mainly the TIME you are farming them. during night/morning yields about 10-15 blood for me everytime i look. I already got 65 of it with no more than 3 or 4 hours spent on it overall. For me its the easiest libram to farm mats for as well as the cheapest at the AH at my server (which is Alonsus EU)
I guess its worth checking how easy/difficult is to farm it at your server before deciding what librams you will prefer.

I'm currently farming this achievement on my 80 Rogue and I decided to farm the Ravenholdt rep straight after Bloodsail seeing as how I had a start with them already.
I tried farming Heavy Junkboxes in Tyr's Hand but wasn't happy with the drop rate so i decided to have a go at Scholomance. Scholomance turned out to be a goldmine for junkboxes, I'd stealth in, pick pocket my way through to Jandice Barov, back up and into the Great Ossuary, drop down, pick all the Risen Constructs pockets then kill everything in the room including Rattlegore. Loot them all because Rattlegore will drop the Viewing Room Key and they have a chance to drop Skin of Shadows which is needed for handing in Libram of Focus for Shen'dralar rep.
After The Great Ossuary stealth back upstairs (you can pick pocket back through to the start as they should all have loot again by now) and head through the gate on your right, pick pocket the ghouls and skeletons in this room then make your way into the viewing room (these guys are all neutral so there's no chance of aggroing them whilst pick pocketing), head across to the Laboratory for a few more pockets (Ras Frostwhisper doesn't drop Skin of Shadow and is more likely to drop Strong Junkboxes so it isn't necessary to kill him) and then back through the Viewing Room to the Headmaster's Study.
From here you can pick pocket the mobs in all the rooms but as for farming Skin of Shadow you only need to kill The Ravenian, Instructor Malicia, Lorekeeper Polkelt and Lady Illucia Barov and the Risen Bonewarders found in her room (she's not able to be pick pocketed).
Make your way back up to the Viewing Room and pick pocket your way back to the start of the instance. Rinse and repeat. I found i could loot 40+ junkboxes and 1 - 2 Skin of Shadow per run (about 30 to 40 minutes) as well as the occasional Pristine Black Diamond.
The close proximity to Ravenholdt Manor is also in Scholomance's favour especially for those without access to a MOLL-E or Argent Squire, it takes about 3 minutes to ride to Ravenholdt Manor, a few minutes to hand in your junkboxes then about 2 minutes back seeing as you can jump off the mountain to the west of the Manor then ride straight back up to Scholomance.
Bag space is a must for this, the junkboxes are not stackable and your bags will fill up quickly, keep clearing the Hickory Pipes and other rubbish out of your bags to conserve space. Also you can open the junkboxes and still hand them in just make sure you leave at least 1 item in them so they don't disappear.
Glyphs of Pick Pocket, Pick Lock and Sprint are handy to have also the talents Fleet Footed, Endurance, Master of Deception, Camouflage, Elusiveness and Preparation are very useful. I did it as a Mut/Prep Rogue and i can tell you Vanish is your best friend in there so the ability to keep it off cooldown is a must.
Hope this helps with the Ravenholdt part of the achievment.
Good luck,
Boonie

I have read a few diff strategies to getting the title, however, I decided too late that I wanted to get the Insane title on my 63 Rogue and I have built up the Steamwheedle rep and the 4 parts of it. If I get to exalted with them, can I then get Exalted with Bloodsail? or does that negate the rep with Steamwheedle? call me Noob is ya like, but I'm thinking you cant have both Exalted at same time cuz doesnt killing guards in Booty Bay lower rep with Steamwheedle?
I know it will be a big grind. have already started on Ravenholdt & Darkmoon rep and of course the Steamwheedle came with just regular questing.

Boonie01
You only need honored with Bloodsail but you're going to lose your Steamwheedle rep when you farm it because you have to kill Booty Bay Bruisers to grind it up.
You could grind Steamwheedle to exalted first then get Bloodsail to honored because I believe you only have to have had the reputations at exalted not keep them there but keep in mind this will leave you unable to go to Booty Bay, Gadgetzan or Ratchet without being attacked on sight.

Holy cow, there were 240 comments when I posted this....
I didn't want to read them all because I'm not doing this achievement right now. However, while trying to do my loremaster stuff, running around feralas, I found the quests
Refuel for the Zapping
and
Again with the Zapped Giants
Which both award 25 rep with each of the steamwheedle factions, yet does not decrease rep with the bloodsail faction.
Just another option for you crazy kids out there.
If this has already been mentioned somewhere, sorry, but 240 is TDL and therefore IDR...

edit: I forgot to mention the best part of these quests.....they are repeatable, and do not appear to have a daily limit for number of times you can do them....other than what's imposed by the 30 sec CD on the giant zapper...

If you're a mage, you really do want to grind pirates to get your Steamwheedle rep back up instead of DM runs. A basic ArcMage raiding spec using Mage Armour is prefect for the pirates south of Ratchet. Run around casting Ice Lance, I was getting 6.5-7.5k rep/hour with Ratchet and never went below 90% mana.

But, as nobody has noted outright (clearly at least) that YOU DO NOT NEED TO MEET ALL CRITERIA AT THE SAME TIME I thought I would put that in. Because of this, If you are 36000/36000 Hated with Bloodsail, I suggest you leave that till last because all in all that is one of the easier grinds.
p.s. I have read a Blizz comment stating that the Feat Of Strength will remain in Game in Cata, but there is no telling whether they will change their minds...

So with Cataclysm out at the end of the year, I probably wont finish this achievement by then.. Did they mention anything about these factions in cataclysm anywhere? Will this achievement still be attainable after cataclysm hits? I dont want to spend 30k gold on the pristine diamonds only to find out that I wont have time to finish the rest.. :)

Just for clarity, Insane in the Membrane will not be removed in Cataclysm. We can only confirm this one for you, but since it's undoubtedly one of the most brain-melting achievements, we thought it nice to let you know that you don't have to rush to have this done before the expansion. ;)

Alot of people use the diremaul runs..infact everyone.
After crunching some numbers I came up with this. Please correct me if I am wrong.
In a
perfect
DMN run (completing the two quests) you get 350 for one and 75 for the other.. 425 rep total with all four
Bare in mind this run must be
perfect
. you find the key complete both and reset in 12min. This is of course becuase you can only enter five per hour.
Thus the rep per hour is 425x5 or 2125
I have been farming the pirates in tanaris.
They give 5 for gadgetzan and 2.5 for the other three per kill.
If you kill 960 pirates per hour you can do waaay more then anyone could ever do with DMN runs.
(I will show work for the gadgetzan rep and then we can assume the others would be half of that)
960*5= 4800 rep per hour with gadget and 2800 with everyone else(more then dm perfect)
960/60 = 16 per min
60/16 = 3.75
If I were to kill one pirate or bandit every 3-4 second I do better then people in DM. Say you only want to grind one up like this, like me. Just get gadget to neutral.. 42000ish rep ... takes three good nights killing a pirate on an avg of one per 7-9seconds.. stupid easy. Once neutral do gadget quests untill neutral with ratchet or everlook.. then do quests there. No bootybay quests! they will piss of the bloodsail!

Ok I didn't read thru all these posts but here's some of my statistics (as a boomkin/resto druid). I decided for the steamwheedle cartel rep to do the pirate killing spree instead of the DM runs.. In 20 minutes i got 2360 rep for Ratchet from killing pirates, where in DM you get 2125 rep per hour (assuming you do 5 DM runs an hour (12mins a run in the 60 minute dungeon cooldown). Now the DM quests Free Knot and the Ogre Disguise give 350 rep & 75 rep to all steamwheedle factions, where killing pirate gives 5 for Ratchet and then 2-3 for Gadgetzan, Booty Bay, and Everlook. But that's still 7080 Ratchet rep an hour and about 3000 rep for the other 3 factions per hour.. It may be more boring but definitely more beneficial imo. Also note that killing pirates on the Merchant Coast means you can also kill Baron Longshore who gives 25 Ratchet rep per kill and 12-13 rep for the other 3. Again this is as a druid where I'm hopping from travel form and throwing a Rank 5 insect swarm on every pirate i can tab on to then switching back to travel form. Depending on class you're not going to have the same results but just wanted to put it out there.

Just so you guys can see how long time this ach takes
57runs in diremaul north wil give 20k rep. cirka. so aint the fastes mode.
The fastes mode is to nuke pirats its give 5-10 rep each. and they are one hit able- after 5min farming off those you already got those 350 rep as you wanted to get in 1 run in dire mail north. btw. if you want to start today. so Look at some movie and read alot of comments here. Im not sure mine is the fastes way from "friendly/neutral" to honored.. But if you already have done alot of questes as Bootybay/everlook/Gagzatan i would be some of the fastes way to kill trash around. in the world. but im not sure !
guys on the times they other talk about wil take about 62hours. and mine wil take a bit longer but! this one is alot easyer if you only are 70 or something!
Good luck with get ach!

Also the respawn rate on the pirates near ratchet is incredibly quick. There is also 2 repeatable quests in Feralas near the dock that takes you over to the island, but its not really worth the 25 rep (I think) that you get from doing each quest. Best bet is to kill a ton of pirates then run a few DMs to switch it up. That's what I'm considering. I currently have to kill another 10,000 (approx) to get from 1000/3000 hostile to Exalted. Ugh. OH- and don't kill the guards in Ratchet/Booty Bay... you'll lose 125 rep. I know- obvious, but something was attacking me so I attacked back.. Force of habit. But def not worth doing lol.

For all the recent posters in this thread extolling the speed of killing pirates for goblin rep--
Yes, grinding pirates is a faster way to get goblin reps. And then what do you do?
Unless you know you will be able to find 72 librams (and pristine black diamonds) in your auction house, you are going to find yourself running Dire Maul anyway. Why not use it to get goblin rep?
I did the cloth turn-ins for goblins, and just a few thousand rep in Ratchet pirates, and it was still too much; I am exalted with goblins and still almost 20 librams short despite picking up perhaps 10-20 in the auction house.
If you are doing targeted DM key/tannin runs rather than full clears, you can do a LOT of them before you will have enough librams for Shen'dralar.

So I just hit Exalted with Ravenholdt.
LBRS is the best place to farm Heavy Junkboxes.
I would reset each time finished.
I wrote down for every run how many boxes I got: 32, 25, 29, 30, 36, 25, 32, 34, 35, 27, 45, 52, 34, 22, 27, 50, 21, 37, 23, 31, 30, 32, 22, 37, 36, 42, 28, 31, 29, 33, 40, 39, 29, 21, 41, 33, 29, 42, 26, 35, 30, 21, 36, and after that I figured out YOU DON'T NEED TO RESET!
The mob's pockets will reset after you finish picking them!
So basically you clear your rogue's bags, pick everyone's pockets, run back to the beginning (don't zone out), and redo the run. Only leave when your bags are full of boxes (and delete the junk you get).

Just did a quick five tannin/Knot run in DM North for Steamwheedle Cartel rep and these are the results I had as a t9 geared Ret paladin.
First Run.............7min
Second Run.........8min 25 sec
Third Run.............8min 21 sec
Fourth Run...........8min 48 sec
Fifth Run.............11min 3 sec
Average Time.......8min 19 sec
Had horrid luck with keys when I began keeping track of my run times. Began with one key in bags from a previous run which is why my first run in a more than a minute faster than the average. None of these runs other than the first ever netted me an extra key for the following run. Not sure what happened on my fifth run as far as my time is concerned.
350 rep per Free Knot which figures to 1750 rep/hour because I'm not turning in Ogre costumesyet.
I had crap luck with tannin drops and only ended up with 5 Ogre Tannin, but more than made up with it in 5 stacks of Runecloth and various other tailoring/leatherworking supplies.
Ah and just a reminder, the hour for the 5 dungeons per hour timer begins when you reset your first dungeon when you are farming. GL if you are going after Insane like me.

This achievement should be more grueling imo. But seriously. Anybody trying to get this, pace yourself and DON'T spend ridiculous amounts of gold on it!
Honestly, you don't need to throw away loads 'n' loads of gold, that is, if you've got the right professions for this and have planned things ahead of time.
I'm going to cut to the most annoying faction out of all of them -- Darkmoon Faire.
My first time grinding rep with this faction was.... bad. I was farming Rogue Decks most of the time and I didn't put much thought into anything while doing it either. It was my first time, though, and now that I look back at it, farming the mats to make Rogue Decks was a complete waste of time. I mean, it's okay to get a few things here and there off of the auction house,
but don't spend your time specifically farming mats for Rogue Decks! It's way too slow!
Now here I am, getting this for a third time on my soon-to-be lvl 40 toon, Emilybrownin of PerenoldeUS (my favourite actress! she's sucha QTpie!) . But now that I've actually planned something decent for farming Darkmoon rep, it's a lot easier on me now.
All I do is get on my mage, spec into Living Bomb, go to the Steppe of Life in Wintergrasp and start pulling tons and tons of mobs at a time with Living Bomb. If you create a special route (specifically for mages) you may actually end up pulling nearly ALL of the mobs there in one shot This is easier on me because of the support I get from Gift of Naaru and Lifeblood.
Now this is where I started getting loads of Eternal Life; it's a mat that is used to created Northrend cards and it's the second most important if not the most important mat you'll need.
After I've collected everything in WG, I head straight to Sholazar Basin to collect herbs and whatnot. I do this for about 20 minutes, collecting an healthy amount of herbs only to wait on respawns at the Steppe of Life. All of this should take you about 20-30 minutes depending on how long you farm herbs. But please note that I've only been doing this on my fire mage, I've no idea what it's like for other classes/specs, but my mage strat seems to be working amazingly well and it's extremely mobile. So just make use of that strat over and over no matter what class you are and send the mats to your scribe/herbalist or whatever you've got. Mill your stacks, make your inks and start making epic decks. Trust me, you'll end up with a lot of mats
VERY
quickly if you're willing to follow this strat. Just today I ended up with 51 Eternal Life's and 8 stacks of herbs just barely putting any effort into it. Although I gotta say, I had mega lucky drops my last farming session (a little less than two hours of work).
If you are really interested to see how fast you can go, use the stopwatch on the clock in your UI.
Another thing of importance! You will inevitably end up with more Inks of the Sea than you will Snowfall Inks. Trade some left-over Inks of the Sea at the Dalaran scribe area for Snowfall Inks. 10 Inks of the Sea for 1 Snowfall Ink. Depending on your server's economy, it might be clever to put 10 Inks of the Sea up in the AH at a time
if
10 of them will sell for more than the price of 1 Snowfall Ink. On my server, 10 of 'em will go for about 30g, while 1 Snowfall Ink will sell for around 5-10g! So, technically, I could get 3 or 6 Snowfall Inks easily for the auction of 10 Inks of the Sea instead of getting 1. Pretty damn nice, I must say.
Remember, don't blow your money at the auction house for things you may not need at all. In fact, you should be making money while doing this instead of spending money... but if you do happen to see some stacks of Adder's Tongue or any Northrend herb that has a 50% chance of dropping Icy Pigments when milled, going really cheap on the AH, then don't hesitate to buy it out because those kinds of herbs are vital and of course will help with this strat like any other strat. You may even whisper the person putting them up asking if you could buy some more of their mats if they're selling them very, very cheap and are well known for farming your specific items -- that's always a good idea.
Lastly and finally. For all of you Insane mages out there that are interested in this strategy, it's pretty much a must to spec into fire if you plan on farming super fast.
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/talent#oZfVcbohIuiubGsthhchk:Lim
Okay, that's just my personal spec for farming as fire. Use that as a basis if you're having trouble with what things to choose in the fire tree.
Most vital talents are Flame Throwing, Blazing Speed, Blast Wave, Dragon's Breath, Firestarter and Living Bomb. The rest of the talents are for pure damage. You'll very rarely have to cast Fireball, it's just there for convenience. And remember, you don't need the survivability of frost for huge mobs. Besides, it's piss-poor damage compared to fire in this case. The power and mass amounts of AoE damage as fire IS your survivability.
Usual way to do it is to gather as much mobs as you can handle by casting Living Bomb on any target you see, maybe a Cone of Cold near the middle of your rotation, Blast Wave/Dragon's Breath into an insta- Flamestrike. This should take out the mobs very quickly.

I finished this achievement earlier today on my paladin. I can confirm (for anyone who might still be misinformed) that
YOU DO NOT NEED BLOODSAIL + STEAMWHEEDLE AT THE SAME TIME.
Gm's are misinformed if they say you do.
Shen'dralar
I finished this rep last, because i didn't have the diamonds needed. When I first started thinking about this title about 6 months back, both librams and diamonds didn't go over 100g at the AH. When I got the achievement, the price was 100-200g for librams and 600-1000g per diamond. Considering the amount of diamonds needed to get to exalted, such prices really are not an option, unless you sit on goldcap or you buy gold from hackers. What i find truly insane, is that some people actually bought those. I didn't. Tips: don't try to prefer libram of focus or libram of protection because you read that you should somewhere - in fact, libram of rapidity often sells cheaper than the other two and getting the blood wasn't an issue for me at all. Just get Gatherer and import Wowhead database (google it) for Gatherer into it and you will see the node spawns on the map (and HUD if you enable it). Good idea (which saved me from buying diamonds for ridiculous prices) is to check other faction's AH as well. It is very possible that you will get additional stuff for lower prices. Don't forget to save yourself one turn-in by turning in your class book and if you are a blacksmith also the blacksmithing plans (
this
etc). Also ask in the guild, spam trade occasionally and make friends with other people working on this achievement.
Steamwheedle Cartel
I tried multiple ways of doing this rep. First I was doing the key runs from hated and it was slow and i was getting locked out. Then I started farming pirates which was boring but more effective. Then I found out that i do not need to keep the bloodsail rep (>.<) so I did the turn-ins outside BB to get back to neutral and then i did lot of quests in the goblin cities, combined with key turn-ins during fullclears of Dire Maul because at that time I realized that getting the diamonds is going to be a major problem. My suggested way to do this would be: turn-ins to neutral then any remaining quests in BB etc (loremasters are bit screwed im afraid :P possible to do steamwheedle first, bloodsail after and then use turn ins to get back to neutral i guess..) and then farming pirates (if you can get librams and diamonds easily from AH) or doing Dire Maul full clears to get the diamonds and librams at the same time. Definetely DO NOT DO the key runs only if you can't get the librams+diamonds (mainly diamonds) from elsewhere. You won't get nearly any of those during key runs and its slow. Otherwise you might aswell end up doing the fullclears later separately. My experience was that farming fullclears got me about one diamond per 4-5 runs and about 2 librams in the same time. You get a lot of runecloth and greens during this so its not so bad overall, it just takes lot of time. Even though it is not listed at wowhead, you can get diamonds dropping from any humanoid mob in the instance including King Gordok and the guy next to him.
Ravenholdt
I personally think this was the second easiest rep in the achievement, after the bloodsail. That obviously only applies, if you have a rogue alt available/friend's rogue/hired rogue. I leveled rogue alt for this, mine was 80, but about 60 should be enough probably. I farmed the junkboxes in LBRS and I was getting 90-100 boxes per hour. Farming the npcs to revered took about 5 hours. I had a mouse-over macro for pickpocket and I made another spec with
Master of Deception
and
Camouflage
from the subtlety spec to make it easier. In order to avoid storing over 1000 of the boxes anywhere i turned them in continuously using the Argent Squire and this macro found /run for b=0,4,1 do for s=1,32,1 do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s);if n and string.find(n,"Dusksteel Throwing Knife") then PickupContainerItem(b,s);DeleteCursorItem();end;end;end;SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1);CompleteQuest();GetQuestReward();
Note that this macro will delete the green reward so if you plan on vendoring them/DE'ing them don't use it. I wouldnt say saving them to vendor is worth it (it is unique and seems like waste of time to me), DE'ing probably is.
Darkmoon Faire
The real evil of this whole grind for me. I decided to level up inscription at one of my alts and craft TBC cards. As long as you get sufficient amount of primal life from the AH (or try to hire a farmer crazy enough to get it for you) this option is best. Probably even if you have to farm most it, it still is. I didnt even consider crafting the WOTLK ones, as they would cost me so much more and the trinkets do not sell for much more than the tbc ones now. I guess it only is viable if you are going for this achievement with 150k and get-it-asap attitude, as wotlk mats are going to be much more common at the AH and farmers easier to hire for it. You should be checking the AH (ideally opposite faction too) pretty much as often as you can for decks being sold for acceptable price (for me it was about 300-400g but towards the end i bought them for up to 600g). If you get decent amount of decks from AH regularly you might not have to craft anything at all. I wasn't so lucky. I got my rogue alt herbalism and started farming. The mats for
Greater Darkmoon Card
are 3 rare inks, 1 common ink and 3 primal life. The
rare ink
is crafted with 1
rare pigment
. The milling drop for the pigment is 50% from
Nightmare Vine
,
Netherbloom
,
Ancient Lichen
and
Mana Thistle
and only 25% from all the other Outland herbs. Only
Nightmare Vine
and
Netherbloom
are really farmable so either farm in Netherstorm or Shadowmoon Valley. You will get mats for all the common inks from milling for rare inks very soon. I ended up with about 2000 spare
Ethereal Ink
. I make them into glyphs and try to get some money back. If you plan to buy the herbs/primals off the AH its worth to save yourself lot of money by making some calculations about the price per card/deck when buying mats at certain prices (i made an excel spreadsheet) so you wouldnt run out of money by buying them too expensive. I did for a while which wasn't very clever. Neither is making the
Rogue's Decks
. Unless you can buy the mats/cards/decks very very cheap its not very good option money-wise and farming the mats is bit too much insane time-wise. I did turn in 187 of those, 14 of them award the same rep as one epic deck. You will get some (200g cca) money back from the trinkets you get so make sure to keep them and sell them. They are unique for some stupid reason (not just unique-equipped, but unique), so storing them in a guild bank is essential.

General Tips
Get a guild to access a guild bank for your alt and store the librams and other mats there. This is pretty much a must for this farm. Much better than trying to store it in the mailbox. Also good for storing the unique trinkets before you sell them
Unless you are an engineerer, take the time to get Argent Squire pet - turning in librams, decks and junkboxes is going to be so much easier for you. Doing the argent dailies also breaks the routine of the farming.
Don't spend too much money on stuff - if people are posting stuff at AH at ridiculous prices, don't buy it, try to find ways around. You are not in a hurry, this achievement will take a while (it was about 2 months for me)
Get the
Non Compos Mentis
addon to track the achievement's progress
Great amount of money isn't exactly needed for this achievement but having at least 10k is a good idea. I think i spent about 30k on stuff overall but i didn't end up 30k poorer after finishing it, because most of the money went into darkmoon faire and i got part of that back by selling the decks and glyphs.
Anything I mentioned about prices might not apply to your server - make sure to check your AH first.
If you feel like it would cost too much money now, some materials - diamonds, librams at least, maybe even decks - will be much cheaper in cata, since there will be much more interesting stuff to do than this and the demand on those will be so much lower. Since cata is out hopefully soonish, waiting with this might be an option to save you money.

NO LONGER APPLIES - Blizzard changed their mind and this achievement will NOT be possible to get in cataclysm. So if you want to do this, you have about a month.
-.-Blizzard changed their mind again and decided to NERF this achievement to the ground by removing the Shen'dralar requirement from it, so it could still be availiable in Cata. FU blizzard. What is the point of making hardcore acheivements if you nerf it so more people could get them after all...
I wish anybody that goes for this awesome title good luck with it, it surely is worth it :)

Even at 80, most people would have a hard time killing the relevant mobs in Scholo or Strat, leaving, and resetting the instance in less than 12 minutes. You can't mount, you'll need to kill some mobs that don't drop what you want to get to all the ones that do... so the lockout is no problem.
Actually, in Scholo it is. Best tactic to get Skins of Shadow is to run down to Rattlegore, aggroing as little as possible, and killing all the skeletons around Rattlegore. Then just get naked and let the boss kill you, corpse run to instance, reset, repeat.

so i am trying to get this meta finished before the release of cata...
I talked with a GM about if having the bloodsail and steemwheedle rep must be concurrent or if doing cloth turnins for goblins (hence destroying bloodsail rep) would still yield the proper req's.
Does anyone know if it is a definitive yes or no?

Along the way, I've found that working for this achievement will require that you get ahold of the following additional reagents:
- 5 bottles of 100 count Ibuprofen (or just two bottles of Aleve!)
- 20 cases of Full Throttle energy drinks (THE TALL ONES PLEASE KTHX)
- 2 or 3 boxes of Kleenex brand Kleenexes, for all the QQ
- 10 bulk boxes of Butterfinger brand candy bars, or equivalent tasty candy bar -- you need these for the extra sugar rush, and to help combat the severe onset of depression you will be feeling.
- 1 large ceiling-mounted chain-hoisted punching bag (depending on how big an ol' boy or girl you are, you might need 2 of these)
- a regular appointment to see a Psychiatrist or other mental health professional, to combat the nightmares of running Dire Maul and not getting a single shackle key in hours, and the memory of killing Rattlegore & all constructs + all of the other bosses that drop Skin of Shadow @!#*&$#$@*&
- ONE VERY SHARP KNIFE /WRISTS /WRISTS /WRISTS
Eh, it's really not this bad, but everything is so prolonged and exaggerated. And, god forbid, there are too many others on your server trying to farm this, as AH prices go to like 500g for Pristine Black Diamonds.
This is why they call it "the Insane" because, if you havent judged by the content of my post, you have a high probability of going insane after doing this... lol, and everyone is guaranteed to at least go temporarily insane from time to time over the course of this grind.

Please note (THIS WILL SAVE YOU SO MUCH TIME!):
For this achievement, you are no longer required to have Honored with Bloodsail AND Exalted with Goblin cities at the
SAME TIME
.

There are people who have had an issue with not receiving the achievement though, so my fiance wrote a script to show your current standings with this achievement.
Copy/Paste this script into your chat box, and hit enter. It will automatically create a macro for you. Stick the macro on your bars, and click.
It will show you your current progress with this achievement.
/run CreateMacro("INSANE", 2, "/say "..GetAchievementLink(2336), nil, 1)
The way I figured out if it would bug with me was:
- Get Honored with Bloodsail
- Go to your Reputation tab, show Everlook Reputation as XP bar
-
Do a cloth/coal turn in at Everlook, Winterspring
- Click on your Insane in the Membrane macro, and check to see if you still have the achievement of "Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers"
The way I see it, turning in stacks of Runecloth is a LOT easier than those turn ins inside DM....

It is also very nice to have
Direbrew's Remote
when farming these. Remote has a 1 hour cooldown and I found that with only carrying my poisons, HS, and Remote I had 84 bag slots. I would make rounds around BRD Highway until my bags where full, hearth, pick all the locks and check them for loot (FYI I found 3x
Shadowblade
s while doing the grind) then mail them to my main that I was doing Insane on.

Can anyone confirm this?
I have heard this argument split right down the middle. I have heard some people say
"You only need to have been honored at some point with Bloodsail"
and I have heard the rest say
"You need to have both Bloodsail and Steamwheedle in the green at the same time".
I've tried to troubleshoot this and find a concrete answer to no success. The first step I did in trying to confirm this was to run the script to check the progress of my achievement. When I hit honored with Bloodsail, I ran the script for <Insane in the Membrane> and it was not checked off or highlighted green and still grey. It got me curious, so I started handing in a few repeatable quests in Everlook
(i.e. Bolts of Runecloth + Coal)
just until I was no longer honored with Bloodsail any longer. I ran the script again and the tracker still did not show my once honored status with Bloodsail. I went ahead and went back to BB to kill more bruisers to get back honored with Bloodsail just in case while I continue to solve this enigma.
My next step to answer this was to ask a GM about the Insane and he said you need your rep at honored with Bloodsail and exalted w/ SWC at the same time. Still others say there is a bug that once you have triggered honored with Bloodsail it counts toward your achievement. If this is true, has that bug been fixed? Someone also said that as of a patch, that you only need to have had honored "at some point" with Bloodsail. I looked at all of the patch notes since 3.0 and I saw that no where. Did I read over it perhaps? I don't really want to tank my Bloodsail rep all the way down again and boost my SWC rep to exalted if it doesn't count towards the achievement wasting my time and patience.
Getting enough PBD and Librams has simply been costly. But, I have to say this rep grind is the part that makes me want to punch my screen. Grinding SWC rep at the same time is definately no easy task to complete at the same time while having your Bloodsail rep honored or higher.
This acheivement is definately not for the undedicated and truely for the insane.

I've read a few posts about this, but I just want to make sure. I hit exalted with all the Cartel factions. I then decided to get honored with Bloodsail. Now my Cartel factions are obviously at hated. My question is it has all been recorded right? So as long as I have done both at one time or another it won't matter if for example my bloodsail rep is not at honored anymore and my Cartel factions are not at exalted anymore? Or do I have to have one or the other up at all times?

I have personally gone through some rough days and nights just thinking about the "easy" part.
Bloodsail honored AND Exalted with SWC?
NO!
- Get your reputation to honored or higher with the Bloodsail, (feel free to get your titel as well)
- Do TURN INS for neutral, (Your bloodsail will be lowered)
Your Insane in the Membrane achievment will still count in the honored status.
It has been GM confirmed on the forums (blue posts).

You only need to have the reputation AT SOME POINT instead of AT THE SAME TIME
This was changed in Patch 3.1.*
Good luck with your achievment!
"Uuh, how can we know he isn't lying".
Here is how YOU can prove it to yourself:
Get honored!
Type in the following script:
Click your link, and see that your status is HONORED!
Do ONE turn in to the
Bloodsail Traitor
, so your rep goes just below honored again..
Press macro again and see that it is STILL honored!

Firstly, Dresorull confirmed that they changed the rep requirement to "At some point" instead of "at the same time" in 3.1.
ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS!
i was revered with the Steamwheedle Factions before i worked on the Bloodsails. So i could've gotten the goblins to exalted first then worked on the pirates and it would've counted?

Just as a side note, while you are farming the abom stiches in Strat you can pickpocket the Acolytes for junkboxes. This should give you a head start on the boxes when you begin to seriously farm them.

I’m … 80 Rogue and I decided to farm the Ravenholdt rep straight after Bloodsail
I did Ravenholdt first because that’s where you turn in the junkboxes and I wanted the option to get rid of junkboxes immediately at any given time.
Scholomance turned out to be a goldmine
Indeed.
keep clearing the Hickory Pipes and other rubbish out of your bags to conserve space
That’s not even necessary if you’ve previously done the Scholomance quest because one of their rewards is
Spectral Essence
and if you dumped it in the past you can get a new for free from Eva Sarkhoff right outside the entrance to Scholomance. Spectral Essence let’s you see all the ghosts in the village of Scholomance including the blacksmith who’s a vendor and repair guy like most other blacksmiths. Sell your stuff there

As long as you meet the requirement once, you're fine. In other words, upon reaching honored with bloodsail it forever gives you credit for that fact. The achievement does not say get these reps "all at the same time" or anything of the sort.
Hope that helps :)
That is incorrect. This is the same as any other of the "meet these requirements" Achievements. If you, at any time, fall below the requirements for any part of the achievement, but then fulfill the others, such as exalted with all the goblin cities then fall to hated cause you decided to grind your bloodsail rep, as soon as you hit honored, you won't get the achievement because you no longer meet the requirements for the goblin cities. An example of why this works this way would be the achievement
Mercenary of Sholazar
which requires that you get two other achievements, one being exalted with the oracles and the other with the frenzyheart.
Note the difference between that achievement and this one, where this requires exalted with each of the listed factions save Bloodsail. Because it is impossible to be exalted with both frenzyheart and oracles at the same time, it allows you to use the achievements as criteria, not the actual reputation. It is a known fact that when you complete an achievement and then fall below the criteria for said achievement, you do not lose it. Such examples are getting 1500 quest complete, faction changing, and then no longer have completed 1500 quests, you still keep the achievement.

I can confirm that you do not need to be honored with Bloodsail while exalted with the goblins. I got honored with bloodsail and I am now hated with them and almost exalted with all 4 goblins. I still have the credit for bloodsail.

Also, if you are a rogue you can pickpocket all the ogres for the chests in Dire Maul thus increasing your Ravenholt rep as well. This way you are grinding 6 factions rep instead of 5.

Since this is a feat of strength, the macro listed above...
/run CreateMacro("INSANE", 2, "/say "..GetAchievementLink(2336), nil, 1)
...does not refresh your progress every time you check the macro's achievement link. Instead, you have to re-run the script each time. Even then, I hit honored with Bloodsail, dropped to 5990/6000 Friendly, remade the macro, ran it again and STILL had credit for the Bloodsail.
Pics or it didn't happen...

Ghostcrawler just said (at the Blizzcon General Q&A) that the changes in Cataclysm to the Bloodsail Faction effectively "put a bullet in the head" of this Feat.
评论来自
Tarjin
I was watching BlizzCon live on the stream when Ghostcrawler during the WoW Open Q/A announced something pretty shocking about the
Insane In The Membrane
feat of strength.
Q:
I'm working on insane in the membrane, with all the changes to Dire Maul north will I still be able to achieve this achievement?
A:
The biggest problem are the changes to the bloodsail buccaneers, that kinda put a bullet in that feat of strength for now. It's fun to do painful things in WoW. If there's a huge outcry for it we'll try to put something equally brute in the game.
I was surprised by this statement which led me to investigate the matter myself.
This is the current state of the Cataclysm Beta Servers (which I just now visited to make sure):
The
Shen'dralar
faction still exists at the same place in Dire Maul, although there seems to be
no way
to increase your reputation with them, as they are no longer offering the Libram-quests. I have also heard rumours of the Librams no longer dropping.
Knot Thimblejack, the goblin leatherworker and tailor is still being kept prisoner i Dire Maul North, which lets you gain reputation with the
Steamwheedle Cartel
, if you rescue him.
Fahrad, Grand Master Rogue of
Ravenholdt
, is still offering the repeatable quest to turn in pickpocketed Heavy Junkboxes ("Junkboxes Needed"), which means you can still get reputation with Ravenholdt in Cataclysm.
The
Bloodsail Buccaneers
still exist as a faction, which you of course lose reputation with when killing a member of the buccaneers - while you gain reputation with the four factions of the Steamwheedle Cartel. Unfortunately I couldn't try killing a Booty Bay Guard (Lvl 85 with 140K HP) to see if my rep with the pirates would increase. I did scout around a bit, and although some NPCs have switched places, I could still find, for instance "Pretty-Boy" Duncan. With this said, I am not quite sure what Ghostcrawler referred to when he said that the Insane In The Membrane-feat would be unobtainable because of the changes to the Bloodsail faction.
Regarding the
Darkmoon Faire
, I couldn't explicitly see if there were any changes, because it wasn't active on the Beta-servers at the time I was investigating, but I would be very surprised if you suddenly, come Cataclysm, would be unable to raise your reputation with the Faire.
EDIT: A recent blue post by Bashiok.
Insane in the Membrane is a feat of strength, not an achievement. Feats are things that you can't be guaranteed to complete, which is why they're feats and not achievements. Most of them are actually now impossible to complete, and this feat will join a long list of "you had to be there" moments in WoW time.
The feat isn't being removed of course, those who have it will retain it, however; some of the requirements are, so it will no longer be able to be completed by anyone who has not already done so.
It's possible that in some very specific situations where someone has completed the reputations which are being removed, but not others that will still be in the game, that it can still be completed. But it's something we're waiting for clarity on, and will let you know as soon as we do.
The thing I am most disappointed in is not that they are removing the possibility to get this Feat of Strength, and Title, no that has happened before. It is the way they have slapped us in the face, just about over a month away from Cataclysm. The question has been asked before on the World of Warcraft forums - "Will the possibility to get Insane be removed in Cataclysm?" - And the answer has always been No. The developers were just unlucky, or lucky, depending how you look at it, that the question came up at the WoW Q/A at Blizzcon. Instead of just sneaking the change into Cataclysm, which would have caused them a lot more trouble (and perhaps a reverse of the change) they can now claim that they "announced the change in good time". Yeah. Right.
EDIT2: A recent blue post by Lylirra I think we all can enjoy! It appears Blizzard listened to our feedback. Well done, community!
It's a question you've been asking us for a little while now. And, based on all the posts, emails, petitions, and letters we received following the announcement that the Insane in the Membrane achievement would no longer be in available in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, we started to wonder if maybe we had gone a bit loco.
So, we went back to the drawing board. After carefully reviewing all the feedback and discussing the matter amongst ourselves, we're now happy to report that we will be making the following changes to the Feat of Strength:
Exalted reputation with Shen'dralar will no longer be required. As this is the only reputation that will be unobtainable in Cataclysm, we've simply decided to remove it as a requirement.
For those who already earned Exalted reputation with this faction, don't worry -- we haven't forgotten about your accomplishments. In a future patch, we'll be adding in a separate Feat of Strength to recognize your deep love of Dire Maul.
Bloodsail Buccaneer faction reputation will remain in-game. Also, to ensure that this change does not negatively affect Cataclysm quest progression in Stranglethorn Vale, Booty Bay Bruisers will now provide reputation up through Exalted.
This will ensure that players will still be able to attain Insane in the Membrane and "The Insane" title in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Please note, however, that these changes will not take effect until The Shattering in patch 4.0.3a -- excluding the separate "Exalted with Shen'dralar" feat, which will be introduced in a future, but currently-undetermined patch.
And, of course, those who are already Insane in the Membrane will retain their title and current Feat of Strength. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

As of Blizzcon 2010 there is some uncertainty about this Feat of Strength in Cataclysm. While a blue post has previously stated it was not being removed, Christ Metzen himself said during an Open Q&A Panel:
"The biggest problem are the changes to the Bloodsail Buccaneers, that kind of put a bullet in that feat of strength for now. It's fun to do painful things in WoW. If there's a huge outcry for it we'll try to put something equally brutal in the game."
At this point in time it's difficult to tell exactly what will become of this achievement.

It doesn't take that long if you spend every waking hour on it, but if you do a bit here and there it'll take a very long time. I've been working on mine, on and off (mostly off) for more than half of WotLK.
And yes, for the majority of people, it will no longer be attainable in Cataclysm. Some, like me, who only have Darkmoon Faire (and/or Ravenholdt) left will likely (not 100% confirmed by blues yet) be able to get it - since the FoS isn't itself being disabled, only the reputation gain with some factions are.

So is there any information on wich reputation factions is gonna be removed in Cataclysm?
Im currently needing Ravenholdt and Darkmoon Faire..
评论来自
529116
There is a lot of great information out there for getting IITM, but having performed most of the grind, I've found there is a little more efficiency and information to be squeezed out. Thus, here is my addendum guide, preferably used in tandem with
Cogsworth's awesome guide
. Hopefuly wowhead doesn't object to my incoming walls of text...
Intro
As you know, you need all of the listed factions at exalted (except Bloodsail at Honoured+),
at the same time
. A big grind? Yes, perhaps the largest grind in WoW. But this grind can be approached many ways; the more efficient of these will be several times faster (in terms of hours invested) than the least efficient ways. The purpose of this guide is
To realistically state how much effort each section of this grind is
To show you efficient and rewarding grind methods
To list a few hints that are not immediately apparent, or even completely overlooked by most IITM grinders
Read on if this appeals to you.
Is it worth it?
This grind will take you a month if you're rolling in gold, two months if you play quite a bit, three or more if you're a more casual type. Some parts of this grind are entertaining, the sorts of grinds you can put music on to and chat to guildies and enjoy yourself. Others will cause you to groan whenever you think about it, like a chore. What do you get in return? A rare achievement and title that is (as of current info) impossible to complete if started in Cataclysm.
My advice is to only proceed if you're (a) an achievement $%^&* and (b) the type to finish what you've started, but there
are
a few ways to test the waters.
Cataclysm...
Reports from the beta are that Dire Maul north's rework has seen the demise of the Shen'dralar faction, and that there is no way to increase rep with the Bloodsail Buccaneer faction. There is also talk of Ravenholdt suffering the same. There is less than two months to the Cataclysm so if you're doing this grind, ensure that these three grinds are completed before the 7th December! I would also recommend getting the goblins up if DMN is getting a work over, because if there is no goblin to free in cataclysm, you're in for a long and boring pirate grind.
The other factions should still be doable post-cataclysm.
Bloodsail Buccaneers
The easiest grind is, by far, the Bloodsail grind. All you need to do is show up in Booty Bay and kill Bruisers for a few hours. It's enjoyable, especially with the PvP element (Your Milage May Vary), quick and gives a rough idea as to what you're going to be doing for the next few months.
Tips:
Don't worry about your goblin reputation at the moment. As you need to get all four goblin reps up at once, your lowest rep is the only one that matters. Booty Bay rep will drop like a stone to 0/36000 hated and that's all you need to know.
Goblins give rep up to max honoured. One goblin NPC in the Badlands (Jazzrik) gives 5 rep per kill beyond that right
up to max revered
, but you really shouldn't bother with that. Really. :P
Even though the achievement requires only honoured, it's in your best interests to keep going and max out your honoured bar at 11999/12000. Two reasons: one, it would really suck if you completed the wrong quest or killed the wrong mob and it brought you below honoured (requiring that you pwn some of your goblin rep again to repair it), and two, you can use a few cloth turn ins to accelerate your goblin rep grind later.
If after getting to honoured you decide the grind is not for you, you can easily repair your goblin reputation by handing in cloth outside each Steamwheedle Cartel faction's town. As such, I recommend this grind for anyone attempting IITM, even if it's just to test the waters. One cloth turn in (2x stacks of Linen/Silk/Mageweave/Runecloth) nets you 500 rep with that faction, 250 with the others and -500 bloodsail rep. A few hundred gold's worth will get you back to Neutral, but make sure you hand in evenly to each town to even out the reputation gains.

Darkmoon Faire
This grind is expensive in one of two ways: money, or time. First though, I shall improve on Cogsworth's guide to getting to 2000/6000 friendly: hand in
Dense Grinding Stones
. Dense stone is exceptionally cheap compared to the materials for widgets; you need 160 grinding stones (640 Dense Stone). This should cost you less than 100 gold. You'll need a blacksmith to create the grinding stones. The only way to gain rep after 2000/6000 is to hand decks in.
Now, money or time. Let me clarify; the time method also requires money, but you'll make it back.
Lots of Money
Buy Darkmoon Faire decks and hand them in. Sell the trinkets for an overall loss. This will require a LOT of gold, around 80k~, depending on your server's economy.
Money + time
Use a macro every time you're in town, offering to hand in other people's decks for them, say 100-200g. The reward trinkets are BoE and can be handed back to the owner after you've handed in the deck. This is a lot cheaper than just buying decks, but will take a lot more time. Best used in conjunction with the other two methods.
Lots of time
Hey, you've ground all the other reps right? You might as well take the time to grind a little more. :)
Pick up inscription on one of your characters, it doesn't need to be the one you're doing IITM for. Buy these herbs en masse from the auction house:
Adder's Tongue
Icethorn
Lichbloom
Mill the
crap
out of them. It'll take a lot of time. Convert them into level 80 Darkmoon cards. Whenever you create a deck, stash it in the bank. Whenever you create a Nobles deck, auction it off in either Deck or Trinket form (decks sell for more) to help fund your enterprise. When a particular card spikes in quantity compared to the rest of your cards, auction them off and buy cheap cards you're missing to create complete decks.
Sound expensive? Yes and no... there is a lot of capital involved. The more cash you have, the smoother this grind will go, it's true. But you'll be making money overall. With your excess Ink of the Sea (you'll have a lot!), either make glyphs and play the glyph market, or just simply sell the ink straight on the AH. Don't make it too expensive as it'll likely be flooded, even if only by you. If you do the maths there's a very good chance you will in fact be making money from your deck grinding.
In addition to level 80 Darkmoon cards, I find it's beneficial to buy the materials for level 70 Darkmoon cards... you'll find that the limiting material is usually Primal Life, in this instance. Level 60 Darkmoon cards aren't really worth creating, due to the expensive and sporadic nature of endgame vanilla materials. As for the green/yellow lowbie decks, if you want to bother you can, but your time is more effectively spent on the 80 decks. Lowbie decks may be a good option on servers with crappy economies.
This
will
take time, so I recommend starting the darkmoon faire grind at the same time as your first faction's grind... you'll need 106 decks all up. It's not a constant grind; you simply log on, buy cheap herbs, mill them, create decks, list overflowing cards, buy cheap cards that you need, list inks and nobles decks and resume your other faction grinds while you wait for the economy to recover from your assault.
As with Shen'dralar, don't hand in any decks until you've reached 106 and all of your other grinds are complete. If you give up after handing in your decks, you'll be out thousands and thousands of gold with nothing to show for it.
Phew. I'm off to have breakfast.

Can anyone confirm if they still got the Insane feat of strength with the release of this new patch
by hitting honored with Bloodsail first
, destroying it, gettting exalted with the Goblin factions and still getting credit for the actual Insane title? Because from what I'm reading if you hit exalted with the Goblin Factions first and then try and reverse it and hit honored with Bloodsail it won't count. You have to do Bloodsail > Goblin and it records it and says you have it when you run the script.

Some people have wondered if Darkmoon Faire rep will be achievable in Cataclysm. While I can't say for sure, I can say that new Darkmoon cards will be available from scribes. As such, it does not appear that Darkmoon Fair is being removed and reputation gains will undoubtedly still occur.

Just last night, me (balance druid) and a friend (frost mage), managed to get a whooping 13k rep with Ratchet while farming the southsea pirates in Barrens in just a bit over an hour. He went to the top and I was at the bottom level and we were moving together back and forth while one-shotting pirates with moonfire and ice lance. After a while we were killing them so fast that they were spawning instantly.
It would be appreciated if more people tried this with a friend and reported results in-case it was something wrong with the spawning time.

So, in case anyone hasn't heard, this feat of strength will become impossible to achieve come
Cataclysm
.
I've heard a few rumors that the Libram quests have already been removed from the game already, though, which effectively makes the Shendralar rep impossible to complete. Can anyone verify that?
评论来自
Putzahontas
I just wanted to chime in in case anyone else wants the feat but has been debating if they can finish Shendralar before 4.03: from my experience, it's very, very possible.
I started working on Shend rep on October 27th, and am now sitting on all the remaining turn ins I'll need for exalted. In addition to being human, I'm going to have had a 10% buff for all the turn ins between the Wickerman buff and the upcoming Thanksgiving rep buff.
I started this probably differently than most: I did Bloodsail quite a while back, repaired my goblin rep with cloth turn ins, and then Loremaster ended up leaving me between honored and revered with all the Steamwheedle cartel. I hit exalted with with all the goblins on my second day of grinding, and have since been working on Shend. I had the advantage of starting with about 10 diamonds in the bank, plenty of money, and a server (Dragonblight) with a reasonably plentiful supply of diamonds priced around the 300-400 gold mark. Because I got lazy at the end, I ended up buying maybe 15 or so Librams. (There are plenty of those on my AH too, I was able to pick them up for less than 200 gold a piece, sometimes much less).
For anyone still trying to finish off (or who's just decided to start) I'd highly recommend the Undermine Journal (google it) if it's available on your server. You can set up email alerts to find out when items are listed in a certain quantity or below a certain price. It's a HUGE help. I don't know if I could have done it without the combination of that and the Mobile AH.
Good luck to anyone still trying!
Edit: According to the latest beta build, the Shendralar rep requirement is being removed in Cata.

Well, I'm all done except with darkmoon faire wich is still missing 9525 rep thats 28 major or 381 minor decks for you.
Since there are mixed reports; yes DMF will stay in cata but some have reported that it will no longer yield reputation.
The Deck Quests on wowhead actually state that they will give 350 rep per turn in.
I'm sure I'm not alone on this, could somebody with beta access craft (not copy from live) a minor deck and hand it in to see if it still gives reputation?

Well, sorry for my bad english. I have the beta, last build 4.0.3.13241, and was worried about DMF too. I create a Berserker Card on live today and send to my mage, copy and send to beta. I receive the reputation after turn the card, like live.

This new build is just cheapening the title. Blizz can't figure out a way to keep all the requirements in-game and they know they shouldn't just leave it as is because of how pissed people are getting. So their answer is to make it easier to obtain. Wasn't there a whole conversation about it being a feat of strength and that not everyone is entitled to get it? They basically scrapped the hardest part of this achievement. I guess I am a little biased about this since i have been trying to get this achievement for a very long time now, and spent countless hours and resources on it. When I heard this was no longer available in cata, I dropped everything and concentrated on this, in less that a week I had just some junk boxes and some decks left to turn in. And during that the hardest part was the shen rep. It's just a big dissapointment that they would do this instead of relocating the faction or something. But I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too, so grats to all those who are going to get their title without shen rep and my condolences to all those (like me) who already had it.

Is it just me or since patch 4.0.1 have the libram drop rate dropped? I only get one libram now per one circuit run of DM East, North, and West. Before the patch I was averaging two to three libram drops per that circuit run. That and everytime a libram drops in any wing for me it is always a libram of rapidity. This is getting crappy to farm now.

So I'm extremely butthurt about the change. I just spent the past two weeks dropping obscene amounts of gold for librams and pristines for absolutely no reason. I think I'm going to go hide in a corner and cry now.
Hopefully people on my server are stupid and buy my pristines and librams off the AH, I'm selling them for cheap.
Also if blizzard knows whats good for them they better not change their minds or I might really nerdrage.

Can blizzard finally make up their mind about this achievement and all reputations associating with it?
1. First they announced like a year ago that it would still be available in cata the same way it is now
2. Then at Blizzcon 2010 they said they are removing it cuz bloodsail wont work anymore
3. Then 20 days after they decide to remove Shen'dralar with the Dire Maul changes and to re-enable The Insane and bloodsail now with possibility to grind exalted with them only by killing Booty Bay guards?
Here is my suggestion how to fix this and make everyone happy!
1. If ppl have shen'dralar but dont they have other stuff keep the possibility for them to finish the rest in the future the same way it works now. This will be ok for ppl who spent 50-80k gold on librams/diamonds so far!
2. If ppl dont have anything but wanna do this in cata replace shen'dralar with lets say some item that is sold from a vendor for the price of 84 pristine black diamonds (they are still in the game in cata if i understood correctly). This will make happy all the old players who already got the title and it wont trivialize the title with the removal of shen'dralar (limbrams were really an easier part of the rep grind compared to diamonds).
3. Dont piss at all the ppl who grinded that goblin in Badlands for months (yes it took 4,2k kills of a single mob with 7min respawn time) with making possible to get bloodsail exalted with Booty Bay guards!

In cata having exalted reputation with Shen'dralar it's not longer needed to do this achievement.

Thanks to Blizzard this achievement will be easier in Cataclysm.
There is a
NEW
blue post out that says
Shen'dralar
rep is going to be
removed from
the neccessary
requirements
for this Feat of Strength, as the rep will no longer be attainable in Cata.
Those of us who already had this achievement finished will be receiving a Feat of Strength for having Shen'dralar exalted....
...I, however, would
prefer
my
30k gold
I spent on Pristine Black Diamonds
back
.

A little query, I had Bloodsail Rep before, I have the achievement from it, but I got the rep back with the goblins before achievements came out.
Do I have that part of it again?

I don't know if its suddenly easy. Darkmoon Faire is taking me a LOT longer than Shen'dralar did. With Shen, it was basically gold and some farming runs to vanilla dungeons. With an argent squire bank access I was able to turn in 20-25 librams at a time.
Darkmoon on the other hand is ridiculously expensive and time-consuming, since I have to mill everything myself on the DK that I leveled to 65 just for this achievement. I think that makes it AS DIFFICULT as the Shen'dralar rep and the goblin rep farming.
Basically, The Insane was 30% Darkmoon, 30% Steamwheedle, 30% Darkmoon, and the rest was ravenholdt and bloodsail.

From a post I made on the WoW Forums....
I did the math on this once...
You need 104 epic (BC or Northrend) Darkmoon Decks to hit Exalted after you've exhausted all the other turn ins which I believe brings you to around 2000/6000 Friendly...it's been a while.
Each Deck requires 8 Cards. Because they sold and materials were more readily available, I made only Northrend Decks.
So, 8 cards, each card requires 6 Snowfall Ink, 3 Ink of the Sea, 3 Eternal Life and 1 Resilient Parchment.
Sadly, you will never get cards in equal amounts. The WoW RNG hates us all so you will end up making twice as many cards as you actually need (I made just outside of 2.5 times the number of cards needed.
That was, yes, 2163 cards made by me, personally. That comes out to 12978 Snowfall Ink, 6489 Ink of the Sea, 6489 Eternal Life and 2163 Resilient Parchment (1081.5 gold in parchment alone).
Now, to make those Ink from Northrend Herbs at OPTIMUM EFFICIENCY required using Icethorn, Lichbloom and Adder's Tongue. You would get, on average 3 Azure Pigment and .5 Icy Pigment per 5 Stack of these.
Both Inks require 2 Pigments.
This is where it gets tricky, because you end up with A LOT MORE Ink of the Sea than Snowfall Ink, but you can turn in Ink of the Sea for Snowfall at a 10:1 Ratio...
...sooooo, just for the Ink of the Sea requires 4326 Herb Mills which comes out to 21630 Northrend Herbs, on average. This will also give you 1081.5 Snowfall Ink. After that, each mill goes towards Snowfall Ink via Icy Pigment AND turning in Ink of the Sea.
So each mill of 5 herbs will net me .4 Snowfall Ink based on needing 20 Azure Pigment for 1 Snowfall Ink and 2 Icy Pigment for the same and using the above averages of 3 Azure and .5 Icy per mill.
That is an additional 29742 (rounded up) MILLINGS of 148710 (rounded up) herbs!
For those of you doing the math, it comes out to 170340 Northrend Herbs milled and turned into ink...
I used an add-on to make the milling a one click affair, greatly speeding up the process.

Steamwheedle Cartel
I thought I'd share my experience regarding how to rep the Cartel without losing Bloodsail Rep.
I headed to The Barrens and hit the Southsea Rats a hint south of Ratchet.
After 30 minutes, I was on 2,400 / 1,200 Rep (or 480 kills)
After 60 minutes, I was on 5,000 / 2,500 Rep (or 1000 kills so an avg of 16-17 kills per minute)
After 90 minutes, I was on 8,400 / 4,200 Rep (or 1680 kills - I had a system in place and it was working well)
I can thoroughly recommend Goblins over DM runs
IF
you have a non CD ranged attack.
As a Druid, I was in my Epic Resto Spec/Gear and I was spamming Moonfire.
The "best case" DM runs per hour is limited by the instance limit of 5 resets per hour. (12mins per instance run)
If in the 'best case' you can net 2 Ogre Suit turn ins, and you find a key. You can Collect 500 rep (350 for the key and 75 each for the ogre suits). This gives the 'best case' a possible per hour rate of 5 x 500 rep for a whopping total of 2,500 rep per hour.
Now... This makes Goblin killing more advantageous, because while only the PRIMARY faction of the 4 will get the full rep, and the rest will get half, it's still in my case 2,500 guaranteed vs 2,500 possibly. I have read of 3 cases where people were able to make the 12minute DM run and score at least 1 key and 1-2 suits per run. And 2 of the 3 cases their suggestion was to not do DM... Why? Because you have to have a large amount of 'crap' in your inventory for the hand-ins for suits and any slip-up's or worse deaths, will slow you down, and if you aren't on 12mins per run, you're wasting time. The average DM method seems to net 1,500-1,800 depending on key drop rate, number of Ogre suit turn ins and time per run.
Assuming you go half as fast as I did, and net 500 kills per hour, you'll stay be 2,500 / 1,250 per hour.
Which is much less stressful than spamming DM 5 times an hour and hoping for key drops that sometimes don't happen...
Just my 2 cents...

This is why they call it "the Insane" because, if you havent judged by the content of my post, you have a high probability of going insane after doing this... lol, and everyone is guaranteed to at least go temporarily insane from time to time over the course of this grind.
Lol I can relate to this. Why?
After grinding this achievement more or less over the course of 18 months, these kind of things sort of create a "routine" for you. Oh Darkmoon Faire? I'll just turn in some decks. Lockboxes? Sure, I'll farm these 50-100 per run.
What happens after you actually get this crazy son-of-a-^&*!@ achievement? Well, you get an awesome title, you get glee and joy and then... complete, total emptiness. Because, what are you gonna do next?
Thoughts over doing this Feat of Strength for an alt have crossed my mind. Maybe the title you get from this really fits you after all.

Ok so I have recently become Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers faction. To do this I went to war with Booty bay and I farmed the Brawlers.
Now I am hated with the Steamwheedly Cartel. Do I need to go to war with the Bloodsail Buccaneers and farm rep or should I be able to farm back my rep through questing?

Some useful macros I created while doing this grind:
First, the rep dumper. This will dump and awful lot of information to your chat frame, but you can limit the amount by moving reps you've completed/aren't interested in to your "inactive" section, and then minimizing the section.
/run n={"Hated","Hostile","Unfriendly","Neutral","Friendly","Honored","Revered","Exalted"};a=GetNumFactions(); for i=1,a,1 do b,c,d,e,f,g=GetFactionInfo(i); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(i..": "..b.." "..g-e.."/"..f-e.."("..n..")");end
Second, the Ravenholdt rep tracker. This one is strictly for tracking the number of junkboxes you'll need to turn in to achieve exalted:
/run b,c,d,e,f,g=GetFactionInfo(14); a="Junkboxes: "..ceil((43000-g)/75)*5; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(a);
If I slightly modify it for sub-revered reps, it should probably look like this:
/run b,c,d,e,f,g=GetFactionInfo(14); a="Syndicate kills: "..ceil((21000-g)/5); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(a);
Third, the Shen'dralar libram counter (less useful after the next patch):
/run b,c,d,e,f,g=GetFactionInfo(15); a="Librams: "..ceil((43000-g)/500); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(a);
My "Free Knot!" counter. A note on this one: My DM runs, when I switched to this tactic, involved releasing Knot, grabbing the Tannin from the basket (as well as any from his Knot's cache), and then clearing ogres until I obtained a key. I saved the tannins until this macro reported 1 "key" remaining, then obtained all the mats I needed to create a suit for every tannin I had, then turned them all in at once. Mailbox is essential here.
/run b,c,d,e,f,g=GetFactionInfo(21); t=GetItemCount(18240)*75; r=ceil((43000-t-g)/350); a="Tannin Rep: "..t.." Keys less Tannins: "..r; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(a);
A note on all of these: The number in the GetFactionInfo() needs to match what the first macro reports the respective rep to be. This will be different for every character, depending on what's been moved to inactive, rep sections that are collapsed, etc. This is what you use the first macro for. For my cases, Ravenholdt was 14 and Shen'dralar was 15.
Hopefully someone finds these macros at least slightly useful, and perhaps for other factions/reps/achievements, with a little modification.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Pilagrims bounty gives a buff 10% increased rep gained
, use it while you can it is saving me over 100 junkboxes for Ravenholdt. (you get the buff if you it down at the tables outside any city and eat 5 of each food just jump to the next chair to get different food)
Ive been working on this achievement for about 10 months I got all the factions to exalted sept Ravenholdt and Bloodsail to honored, it might cost me more goblin faction grind but I rly wanted to test out if it worked to get goblin factions up first then Bloodsail I will inform you soon as I find out.
Yes I did get shendralar up as well in a week I dont know what ppl that already got this achievement are whining about. It took me about a week to get it exalted its NOT the hardest one specialy for thous who got it before PBD went up to 500-1000g, they got it for under 50g each, so stop the bloody whining and be happy with what you got. It did cost me alot of gold atleast 30k gold but I saved alot of money by focusing on Libram of rapidity. Alot of ppl are affraid of it since there are is alot of ppl talking down on farming Blood of heroes, I found it rly easy. Get gatherer or Tomtom some sort of gather addon, it helps alot then go farm them but not untill after 3 server time when almost no one is online. I used to simple who plagueland and if I had no level 80s then they where all mine do note this was during week days if you want to do this during weekend then Im affraid after 5 o clock is the time to go. I gathered almost 100 blood in less than a week.
GL to you all and happy farming :)

According to
a recent blog post by Blizzard employee Lylirra
, this achievement will still be around in Cataclysm, but will not require you to be exalted with the Shen'dralar (because the Shen'dralar reputation is becoming unobtainable in the expansion). However, the blog post did state that being exalted with the Shen'dralar will result in you receiving an additional feat of strength.

I was doing rep with
Steamwheedle cartel
and there is my conclusion. We made a raid group (9-10 players are the best). We made it like 5 players was down the hill and 4-5 players was up the hill. Everyone have their own spot, i was hitting just thunderclap like warrior and charging 3 mobs around me. Ranged characters almost doesnt need to move. Ok, ok i know everyone are curious for numbers. I get more than 7k-8k rep in hour for ratchet until revered, around 6k per hour Everlook/Gadgetzan, 4k+ rep BB... i stayed here until BB, EV, G exalted and now im running DM runs, coz that 3k rep in tanaris (solo) is absolutely unrealistic. (i made 600 rep in 23 min, yeah i know ugly)
So my conclusion is. Be here until revered with all 4 factions(coz Ratchet doesnt rise more here). And then just run DM. And some fact on end. Im writing it like warrior, this was really easiest way for me to do it like this. I was there alone and i was doing 1/3 - 1/2 of this reputation by my own.
One more trick, right now when the pilgrim bounty starts, when you get the buff Spirit of sharing you get 10% rep bonus for hour i think this buff is pretty worthy. When you are grinding 10% is better then nothing :)

Some thoughts regarding the reps for the shattering... I'm 5k away from exhalted steamweedle.
Where do I grind ravenholdt in 403a?
Darkmoon deck cards are about 1k on my server. What is the fastest (probably not fast :) way to get the herbs and mill it for yourself.

Confirmed all of the following so far since server's been up since patch today.
Shendelar doors are sealed in Diremaul.
Knott is still in Diremaul north, and offers the Ogre Suit quest but completeing it DOES NOT reward any rep gain. On that note, only Tannin is now needed to complete his quest. He no longer can be "freed" for a rep gain either.
Diremaul now has absolutely no relevance to this achievement in anyway.

LBRS had a huge cut to the number of enemies in the zone post cataclysm, meaning you get way less junkboxes per hour than before.
Edit: On the plus side, the cookbooks now stack up to 20! Yay!

Welcome to Patch 4.0.3!
I'm working on
Steamwheedle Cartel Rep
in this post
Like many other Insane grinders, I was shocked to find the Southshore Pirates under attack and slim pickings among the NPC Battles. After a frustrated night I kept moving south and found a fantastic new place to farm.
The Southshore pirates are still active, grouped on the Tanaris map just to the South East of Caverns of time near where 2 ships are docked to the shore. Their respawn rate is amazingly high, and they are still granting the following rep:
Raputation with Gadgetzan: 5
Reputation with Ratchet: 2.5
Reputation with Booty Bay: 2.5
Reputation with Everlook: 2.5
(remember the 2.5 will show as 2 or 3 in your text to even out)
This is a very simple place to grind.
Also, as far as I've seen so far the pirate Captain Dreadbeard does NOT give reputation, so no fun +25 buff for us now. Also, pirates do not spawn on the boats, so don't bother.

FYI -- The Gordok Ogre Suit NO LONGER gives any rep. I also cleared the place 4 times and did not get a key to drop for the shackles, so that may have been removed as well. There's new cloth turn-in quests that can get you goblin city rep (and lower your bloodsail rep).

As of 4.0.3a, it seems that the decision of removing the Shen'dralar reputation requirement has resulted in a GREATLY reduced droprate of the ~1400 Heavy Junkboxes needed for attaining exalted reputation with Ravenholdt.
From the reported ~90 per hour to ~35-40 per hour in LBRS. Confirmed by myself today after 10 hours in LBRS.
It was all evened out in the end. Insane in the Membrane still remains Insane!

I didn't have exalted rep with Steamwheedle Cartel when I started the grind for this achievement. So I got my Bloodsail Admiral title and honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, then grinded back up to friendly with the Gadgetzan using the Wastewander Water Pouch quest (which has been removed from the game). Now I was forced to grind the pirates. I got a macro to check your progress in the Insane in the Membrane achievement, and it showed that I have the Bloodsail Buccaneers part done. I took a small risk to see if I still needed to be Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers to get the "the Insane" title. I killed a couple of Bloodsail Buccaneers to become friendly with them, and then checked my progress using the macro, I still have the Bloodsail Buccaneer part done.
the macro to check is:
/script _=GetAchievementLink(2336);print('Shift click to link:', _)
So the good news is you longer need to have both exalted with the Steamwheedle Cartel and honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers at the same time.

I can confirm it. I'm using the above script to track it (thanks for that btw <G>) and as soon as I hit exalted w/the last goblin faction I hit BB and killed some Bruisers. Wasn't long before I was no longer exalted ... BUT ... the achievement tracker still showed all four still completed. Of course, the next day, the Bruisers went to level 85 >.< Any suggestions there anyone?

I am curious where people are farming Gadgetzan rep past Revered (if you don't want to hurt your Bloodsail rep) after the Shattering. I went over the Ratchet and the pirates there are few, just on a island, and no where near the spawn rates as the new Southsea Pirates camp in Taneris (made for us I bet!).
Is there another camp we can farm Gadge rep or is there only those hurtful quest rep turn ins?

The best place i found after the latest patch for Ravenholdt rep is in Arathi Highlands in Stromgarde Keep. Just when you enter there is an area to the left and if you run up the stairs, the entire area is full with mobs. Don't forget inside the keep also. They seem to spawn faster in the top area, so what ever path you choose to follow, make sure to run about 2 times as much in the upper area to optimize your rep gains.
I can grind about 2.400 rep pr hour as a pally
(Marez Crowl, Otto and Lord Falconcrest or w/e their names are DO NOT give rep, so no need to waste time killing these)
My path is something like this:
Run the lower area
Run the upper area outside
Sweep the keep
Jump off the edge at the top
Run the upper area outside again
Repeat and don't loose your sanity ;)

After you grind Bloodsail Buccaneers to Honored; the fastest way to get goblin reputations back is in Lost Rigger Cove, the southern section. You can grind out about 36,000 rep with Gadgetzan and 18,000 with the rest, about every 4 hours.

After the cataclysm hit some of these options are not available, I found that the "Free Knot!" quest is no longer available, and some of the pirates are gone.
What I have found so far is that the pirates in Tanaris are still there, just farther back. I also have found, due to an alt, is that the goblins in the badlands, who belong to gagetzan (if I remember correctly, I may not), have quests that give rep to the whole steamwheel cartell, but do not take away rep from the bloodsai buccaneers.
Has anyone else found things that help with the goblin reps post-cata?

I'll admit that I haven't read all 299 comments, but I haven't seen this said yet..
While the NPC for each faction of the Steamwheedle Cartel who gives the cloth-for-rep quests will only give you that quest until you reach neutral... when you turn in cloth with any of the four factions, your rep with all four will go up. Even if you're already past neutral with one.
I started farming rep (a lot of it) killing pirates in Tanaris before I realized these turn-in quests existed. Had already made significant progress with Gadgetzan when I started doing turn-ins. After turning in a bunch with the other 3 factions, I'm now friendly with Gadget, and still getting 250 Gadget rep for every turn in with the other groups.
Oh, and another side note: If you're going to turn in cloth at Ratchet, unequip all your gear first. I got nailed by a wandering Bruiser, who then corpse camped me. :) Took 3 deaths before I was able to res far enough away to get my gear off.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I ended up getting honored with Bloodsail before the pre Cata patch and then turned around and turned in cloth to get my rep for the Cartel factions. This of course destroyed my honored rep with Bloodsail, but as we all know when I put in the script it showed that I had credit for it still.
I just handed in my last DMF deck and I ended up getting the title. Dec 6, one day before Cata was released. Of course this is after the big Cata patch so it looks like you can still get credit. glitch or not it worked for me
without
having to be honored still with Bloodsail.
I know there have been so many blue posts and people wondering about this even up to now. Well it worked for me so like I said take it with a grain of salt. If you want to be safe, keep bloodsail honored. If you want to say screw it like I did and risk it? Well that's the chances you take.

If you get honored with bloodsail, then it will give credit for the achievment.
I got honored with bloodsail, then hated with them again, and it still said in achievment (-Honored with Bloodsail Buccaners) in green.
So you can get honored with them, then drop down to hated again, and you will still have the progress and will be able to get the achievment.

Bah Darkmoon faire is the last I need and it really really is a b*tch cause epic decks besides cata are practically non existant. Buying cards to make a deck but it's going terribly slow.
Any recommendation on options for farming darkmoon since the decks for 350 rep are simply not availible. (need about 50 more). Epic cata decks are out of the question for many months for obvious reasons.
Do I need to start milling some herbs? For the first time this ach is looking pretty
insane
to me.
edit: If herbs are the way to go - what would be the best option? According to my calculations it's an
insane
mount of milling + getting lucky.

After seeing and freeing Knot countless times, but only after turning in stupid amounts of cloth to repair my rep to become a Loremaster, the goblins were easy street.
Ravenholdt I went out of my way to level a rogue to max level just to farm junkboxes and just because I wanted a rogue. Easy enough there.
Shendralar can still go to hell. I got exalted with them the day they announced we wouldn't need it anymore.
But that's okay. As of yesterday, Darkmoon Faire turn ins finally got my toon her Insane title.
Gnome Shadow Priest rocking that !@#$, and will be for a long time. So glad they didn't take this away - though I likely would've got it wrapping up Darkmoon Faire when Cata hit. The market was just terribly unkind to me. Haha.

For those who are wondering how to get Bloodsail rep since the patch, go to Faldir's Cove in Arathi Highlands. The circuit I took was to kill the three guys near the ship, then fly and kill the guy on the ship, then jump back down and repeat. This got me around 5000-6000 rep per hour unless I was really slacking off. Kill the two guys by the fire also whenever they respawn because one gives 25 rep.

I'm almost done with this achievement. I've started a couple of days before Christmas to insanely farm herbs for Darkmoon decks. I'm now a couple of hours away from Ravenholdt to exalted (I'm 75% already) but waiting for the servers to go live.
So, preparing for Darkmoon took me a couple of weeks of farming/buying off AH to be ready for their arrival in January. I managed to get exalted in that week with only 30k gold spent on some inks, 5-10 epic decks under 1k from AH, herbs, random cards to complete my sets. I've tried all 3 sets, from Vanilla, TBC and WotLK and I can say the best one you should go with would be the decks from WotLK. You get everything you need for them only from herbing in Sholazar Basin (herbs and eternal life), comparing to the drops to Primal Life from TBC sets which were extremely annoying.
I was lucky to be Honored with Bloodsail since WotLK so I'm not really aware of how it would go now in Cataclysm.
Won't talk about goblins since you can find out everything about them in the posts above, but all 4 reps took me 4-5 days of pure grind...
About Ravenholdt, it was both fun and boring, but imho the best drops are from Lower Blackrock Spire.
Good luck to everybody aiming for this title, it really does worth the time and gold :)
edit: done, I'm insane in the membrane now ^^

Malkariss33 you post some wrong information there:
Honored With Bloodsail Buccaneers - was from day one when the achievement go live not exalted. And you could farmed from booty bay city until 11999/12000.
I've done this 6 months ago, hard work in fact you pass in three phases :
phase 1 : at start - you wish you wouldn't do that
phase 2: in middle after you pass Shen'dralar( the reputation that now in cataclysm i don't see it as requirement for achivment) and Ravenholdt reputation you become a little happy and count the days maybe hours until you finish this.
phase 3: when you have this achievement and you thinking that was easy and you are about to start it on another char or alt maybe :)
gl and happy farming

Yet more confirmation that you do not need Honored with Bloodsail and Exalted with a Steamwheedle Cartel faction at the same time for this achievement to give credit for both.

I am currently hated with Bloodsail Bucaneers after doing the Steamwheedle Cartel quests that were added in Cataclysm or I missed whilst levelling and grinding the Bloodsail Pirates.
Hope this clears a few things up for you insane peeps out there. :)

So, a bit of information for the Goblin Reps, since 4.0.1.
I had problems finding a good place to farm for this rep. Fray island in Barrens seemed too slow a respawn, and the pirates in Tanaris are a bit too spread out to effectively farm like pre patch. The pirates in Thousand Needles don't give any rep.
So, I decided to just tank my Bloodsail rep and do it that way. I was never going to grind up to Exalted with them via guards in BB, not after all the work I did getting my goblin rep back up to low Revered/Honored status. While running around the ships I found out a few things:
1. Fleet Master Firallon and Ironpatch have a one minute respawn time. Both of them grant 28 faction with BB, and 14 with the other reps.
2. On the ships there are multiple named Mobs now (With the ship on the far right, closest to Booty having the highest density of them, about 6 or so) that grant the 27 / 14 spillover.
There are a few named mobs that don't grant faction at all (The Dwarves on the deck of Firallon's ship, for example), but for those not worried about Bloodsail faction and just want the achievement (Or contributing to United Nations, like what I'm doing), this could be an easier way to do it. I know it allows me to sit and do homework/watch movies while waiting on the one minute respawn on Ironpatch and the Fleet Master, then every five minutes or so going out and clearing the three ships of all the normal mobs/named.
I haven't hit Revered with Booty Bay (I should at some point in the next bit), and I'll post here in that +28 rep disappears at Revered.

I found a nice place for farming the heavy junkboxes needed for Ravenholdt reputation.
There is a place in blasted lands called Nethergarde Mine. Inside there is lots of mobs which you can pickpocket to get heavy junkboxes. There is 2 main routes you can go. By the time you've finished both routes the first routes mobs is ready to be pickpocketed again. I farmed all my junkboxes for ravenholdt exalted there over a weekend.

Hey, for some days ago i went down to Booty Bay because i was planing to kill some guards for Bloodsail Buccaneers rep for my "The Insane in the membrane" FoS. Then i noticed that the guards had 464k HP and they were hitting for 20k/crit 40k.
So my point is, how are you supposed to do this alone? Or is it intented by BLizzard that you are supposed to form a raid to do it?

4.0.6 takes another large step away from making this possible again as you can no longer even directly attack a faction with which you are friendly even when clicking the "at war" toggle. The exact cutoff is unknown to me. I just know that you cannot attack the booty bay guards at all anymore. I still think they'll straighten this out eventually somehow in accordance with the post stating it would be possible in Cataclysm, but so far there seem to be no developments in that direction.

As of 4.06, you can still attack NPCs you are at war with if you are using aoe attacks such as Divine Storm, and Fan of Knives.
I suggest going to Faldir's Cove (25, 83) and going to the bottom of the boat where there are 2 Blackwater Deckhands that spawn at an extremely fast rate (often spawning faster than you can kill them). These give 6 rep each, and lower your rep with booty bay by 25 each. Once you reach neutral you will be able to target them and attack them without AoE abilities.

Hey, if I'm at neutral with all of the Steamwheedle Cartel reputations, and max hated with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, should I work on exalted with Steamwheedle reps first, or get honored with Bloodsail first? I only say this because of the 4.06 change where I'd have to aoe my way to neutral rep before I could attack mobs that give me Bloodsail Buccaneers rep. For reference, I'm a Deathknight, and bloodboil requiring blood runes might mean significant downtime between aoe. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

It is based on theory and logic. All achievements now check off each requirement as it is completed, unless it is named that it is required to have multiple at the same time. Now, I do not have the title myself as of yet, but have spoken to multiple people who have and read over 7 guides on the achievement.
I have an add-on (Overachiever) that allows me to search the achievement database for every achievement, even FoS's. When I hit exalted with Steamwheedle Cartel, I checked to see if it was checked off. It was, so I continued to go onto Bloodsail rep. When I went just below exalted with Booty Bay, I checked the achievement again. It still had it checked off. As I went below each rep tier I double checked to make sure I wasn't making a critical mistake. Most GM's barely read your ticket, let alone take the time to research the titles and rep rules.
Now, I have another tip for
farming Heavy Junkboxes for Ravenholdt rep.
I myself have chosen BRD to farm them for multiple reasons.
1. The mobs are very close together and plentiful, and so that cuts down alot of time for traveling between mobs.
2. After doing the math, both UBRS and BRD have the same 1/10 Heavy Junkbox drop rate. I asked a friend who said he farmed in UBRS, and said that they dropped for 1/10. So I did a couple calculations and ended up with 12 JB's per 10min run on average, divided by 119 mobs pickpocketed. 1/10 drop chance, so roughly the same.
3. I get lost in UBRS. Shut up, don't wanna hear it.
My route was to go in through the entrance and turn left, go through the gate that no longer requires a key -.-, and then go right, through the door, up the stairs, straight, into the arena, and pickpocket those 6 groups of 9 mobs. When I went around the whole circle, I went back out and ran to the Dark Iron Highway (Which is just past the first gate) and pickpocket all of the groups going to the gate and looping around to Bael'Gar and back to the entrance. I then reset and repeat.
Once you get good, each run is roughly 9-10 minutes. As you finish your 5th run, you'll notice that once you reset you cannot enter due to the 1 hour-5 instance block. So you have 2 choices: Either make your 5th run a little longer, or use the time to check the AH for any stuff you need for Darkmoon Faire and to mail the JB's. (Btw, the nearest mailbox is the neutral camp just north of Blackrock Mountain if you aren't an engineer.)
I would grab some music, too. I thought killing pirates was boring.

I've found 3 good places to farm mobs for Steamwheedle Cartel rep. (Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Rachet, and Everlook).
Killing these mobs WILL NOT decrease your rep with the Bloodsail Bucconeers.
From what I know, there are no mobs that yeild more rep for Everlook than the other SWC reps.. but there are for Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, and Rachet.
BOOTY BAY REP.
Northern Stranglethorn - Venture Co. Base Camp, is the best place to farm Booty Bay rep. The mobs you're looking for are the Venture Co. goblins;
Geologist
,
Lumberjack
,
Mechanic
,
Workboss
and the Venture Co. robots;
Shredder
The rep these mobs reward are; 5 - Booty Bay, 3 - Gadgetzan, 3 - Rachet, 3 - Everlook
GADGETZAN REP.
Tanaris - on the coast by Caverns of Time, is the best place to farm Gadgetzan rep. The mobs you're looking for are the Southsea Pirates;
Pirate
,
Swashbuckler
,
Swabbie
,
Taskmaster
,
Strongarm
,
Musketeer
The rep these mobs reward are; 3 - Booty Bay, 5 - Gadgetzan, 3 - Rachet, 3 - Everlook
There's also a
rare mob
Andre Firebeard
whom yeilds; 13 - Booty Bay, 25 - Gadgetzan, 13 - Rachet, 13 - Everlook
RACHET REP.
Northern Barrens - on Fray Island, is the best place to farm Rachet rep. The mobs you're looking for are the Southsea Pirates;
Privateer
,
Recruit
,
Cutthroat
,
Cannoneer
The rep these mobs reward are; 3 - Booty Bay, 3 - Gadgetzan, 5 - Rachet, 3 - Everlook
There's also a mob(not rare - actually spawns within a minute or two)
Cap'n Garvey
whom yeilds; 13 - Booty Bay, 13 - Gadgetzan, 25 - Rachet, 13 - Everlook
Please note that the mobs stop yeilding rep at 11,999/12,000 honored.
So, say you were grinding rep for Booty Bay, killing the Venture Co. mobs.. they would stop yeilding rep for Booty Bay (only) - at 11,999/12,000 honored. The mobs would still yeild rep for Gadgetzan, Rachet, and Everlook. After hiting 11,999/12,000 honored with Booty Bay.. you would then have to kill the mobs at another location (Tanaris or Fray Island) and gain the "spill over" rep. The same applies with Gadgetzan and Rachet.

The best place I've found to raise your Ravenholdt rep. by killing mobs is in Arathi Highlands at Stormgarde Keep.
These mobs only reward rep until 11999/12000 honored, at which point you must quest.
The mobs you're looking for are the Syndicate;
Conjuror
,
Magus
,
Prowler
They reward 5 rep towards Ravenholdt each.
Once you've reached 11999/12000 honored and the mobs no longer reward rep, there's a quest you have to do -
Junkboxes Needed
. The quest is repeatable and requires you to hand-in 5
Heavy Junkbox
(a pick pocketed item). Each hand-in rewards 75 rep with Ravenholdt and a low level throwing weapon,
Dusksteel Throwing Knife
which is soulbound and vendors for 1g 32s 53c ..it's a unique item, which means you must vendor it or destroy it in order to complete another hand-in.
Here's some math..
To get from 11999/12000 honored to 999/999 Exalted that's 22,000 rep. needed
5
Heavy Junkbox
needed per quest.. and 75 rep. gained per hand-in
22,000 rep / 75 rep = 293.3 (294) hand-ins
294 hand-ins X 5 heavy junboxes = 1,470 heavy junkboxes
So you'll need 1,470
Heavy Junkbox
to be max exalted (999/999).
The best place to farm
Heavy Junkbox
is in the dungeon Blackrock Spire, in Burning Steppes - Blackrock Mountain. Because it's a pick pocketed item, you'll need a rogue (level 60 or higher). I normally get around 25 per run. I've found that once you've gone through the whole dungeon, you don't need to run out and reset.. just run back to the beginning, and you'll be able to pick pocket the mobs you've already pick pocketed!

ok well Ive got just 2 questions:
1)is there any specific need to max out at exalted cpping at 999/999 to make it count towards the criteria?or simply reach exalted?
2)this is a question that has bothered/annoyed a lot of peeps that are after this title:Do you need to be exalted with all 4 steemwheedle cartel cities and honored with bloodsail bucaneers ON THE SAME TIME?Or you can get,for instance,exalted with goblins,move to pirates,reach honored with them loosing the exalted status with goblins and still counts towards criteria?

Hey guys,
working on steamweedle cartel at the moment.
This is cata and most of the pirates are gone. For really fast kills to raise rep I found a place called Lost Rigger Cove in Tanaris (on the eastern side on the mountain that houses The Caverns of Time).
Its been around since vanilla and the pirate hats quests. As of now there are
Southsea Pirates
and
fighting gnome covert operatives. with one run through taking about 45 seconds and AoEing the mobs (lvl 85 rogue) I gathered 225 rep with Gadgetzan and ~135 rep with the other 3 towns or Rachet, Booty Bay, and Everlook in one pass.
These mobs take about 2 minutes to completely respawn.
Also to note there are the gnome forces in this pirate town as well:
Covert Ops Hardsuit's
And
Covert Ops Pounder
Wowhead states that you will recieve rep with Gadgetzan for killing these things. I am currently not recieving rep at hated but Im going to go out on a limb and say that these may give reputaion at a different status, say maybe unfriendly or so. I will try it out and update my findings, If anyone finds out before me let me know ^^. Hopefully this is the case as this is an awesome place to farm especially if you are a higher lvl. So if you do start getting rep when the pirates stop giving rep then that would be great, even better if they overlap a bit so you get double the rep per run.

!Update!
In my opinion, this is the best and fastest way of regaining your goblin reputation. (This WILL tank your Bloodsail reputation, but who cares right?)
First you do the cloth turn-ins, IN THIS ORDER : Everlook, Ratchet, Booty Bay, Gadgetzan.
You can switch the last two if you want, depending on where you want to spend more time farming pirates. The reason you do Everlook and Ratchet first, is so that you get the max possible spillover rep from the other turn-ins, since there are no pirates in Winterspring, and the pirates in Ratchet are horrible.
Once you've done all of the turn-in quests, start farming the pirates near Caverns of Time in Tanaris until you're at 11,999/12,000 with Gadgetzan. After this grind I was at:
Ratchet - 9549/12,000
Everlook - 8178/21,000
Booty Bay- 4231/12,000
Gadgetzan - 11999/12,000
Next go to the two ships that are close to each other near Booty Bay. Kill the named NPC's that give around 27 or 28 rep with Booty Bay and 17 to the others until you're at 11,999 with Booty Bay. The mobs on one ship should respawn while you're on the other ship, just keep going back and forth. After this grind I was at:
Ratchet - 2557/21,000
Everlook - 12,930/21,000
Booty Bay - 11,999/12,000
Gadgetzan - 4751/21,000
Next do all of the quests in Booty Bay and any other quests that give rep with Steamwheedle. I used wowhead to find all of them, some are really spread out but it's better than killing more pirates.
Once you're done with all the quests you should be close to halfway revered with all of the goblins, and Everlook should be closest to exalted. After this just go back to killing pirates in Tanaris, and if you want you can use the phased pirate ship that attacks Booty Bay if you didn't turn in the last quest.
All of this was done with the lvl 12 reputation perk from my guild. Good luck

So I was previously honored with Bloodsail. I did all the quests and got the Admiral title and hat.
However now when I 'track' this achievement (using /script AddTrackedAchievement(2336) ) the tracker says I don't have Honored with Bloodsail.
Is this worth opening a ticket with Blizz?

I just have to say that when you get to farming your darkmoon rep, the best place to go is winterspring. The herbs there are abundant (doing a ring around the edge, 6 stacks worth of herbs in 15 minutes on average), and mill only into the inks for the original top-level darkmoon cards (which still give the same rep as all the other big decks, and don't require a life element)
PS: does anyone know if the shen'dralar achievement will ever be made (for those of us that farmed it before cata dropped), or was blizzard just trying to shut us up?

Forgive me asking, but there are soe many replies here and hard to find specific informations.
Can I first do exalted with goblins (i have some rep from leveling and other stuff, sad to lose it), then kill them to gain pirates rep? Or I need to have exalted goblins and honored pirates AT SAME TIME?
PS - I know that I can loose HONORED with pirates (when gaining goblins rep) and still get achiev, but I need to know does it work the opposite way - Can i loose goblin rep when farming pirates and still get achiev?

I completed this achievement in about 2 months of working a minimum of two or so hours per day..give or take. I also took a 1 week break from it, but otherwise did it nonstop.
Darkmoon was the easiest. After spending about 30 hrs farming herbs, I decided to use the Remote AH app on my phone and buy everything. I spent 15k gold on getting exalted. I used excel and made spreadsheets to keep track of what cards I needed. What has always been cheapest for me was the rogue decks. Either from buying verdant pigment, hunter's ink, or just herbs to mill. I also got a fair share of rep from the lvl 60 decks with the same strategy.
Ravenholdt was just a straight forward grind. I used Stromguard to farm. Averaged about 1.5-2.5k rep/hr there. The rest of the rep came from LBRS. There are other places to farm lockboxes from, but it required more downtime because you had to wait on respawned-pockets. In LBRS it was a nonstop running grinding thing. Was straight forward and uneventful. Just took awhile.
For Buccaneer rep I farmed the BB guards. It was a nightmare, and I could only do 1 at a time. They hit very hard and I'd have to alternate aggro with my pet. It was one of the worst parts of the grind.
For the goblins, I found it easiest to stay on 1 continent instead of going back and forth. I did the cloth turn ins until neutral. I farmed a lot of the cloth and I bought the rest. It's cheap and time wise, it's faster to farm with an 85 and sell herbs/ore to buy the stuff as opposed to farming it. From then on it was a switching routine from Fray Island and Lost Rigger Cove. It was nonstop carnage. I looted some of the mobs and sold a lot of it. Towards the end I would just kill them without looting. This was one of the longest grinds for me. I set it up so my farming would end in Lost cove..there are more mobs there and no wait times on respawns.
I will not write out any math for you guys as your class and individual play times will vary. For my math I found that figuring things out by the hour was fairly accurate as long as I rounded up. Everything about the grind aside from Darkmoon is fairly consistent.
My advice:
Start Darkmoon first. It will take you the longest. Make a DK as your bank !@#$% because they start with bags, mount, etc. Level that characters inscriptioning to 300. The Remote AH app was invaluable for me and saved a TON of time and money. I found countless cards for less than 10g a piece. Even some completed decks for 2-300g...whereas the average on my server is over 1k. Also make sure you watch the calender as the Darkmoon Fair isn't always around. I had to make a mad dash to finish my title because I didn't want to have to wait around until the next fair was in town. Just check the AH at least a few times a day all the while working on everything else..when you're done with the rest you should be done here too.
Work on your pirate rep next. When you get tired of killing stuff, get on your rogue and farm boxes. The boxes take a long while so anytime you get tired of killing, farm boxes.
Keep rotating things until you're done. If you try to sit and do it all in one sitting you'll go crazy and lose friends, lol.
Goodluck and enjoy the title. It's very rare, and as such I don't honestly get many compliments on it. Even with getting a guild announcement for it few even knew what it was and thought it was a stupid title...Some of the players were extremely impressed by it. Just make sure you're doing it for yourself and not to impress others because honestly very few will care.
Either way, I have a lot more respect for my fellow Insane peeps.
Take care,
Trapformer of Area 52

I am still in the middle of trying to accomplish this achievement, and so far it has been an absolutely ridiculous journey.
What I had to do first is set all the goblin cities to "At War" you can find that on the reputation page from your character tab by clicking on the fraction such as booty bay then a tab will come out to the side and it is the first box at the bottom.
Then whatever you do,
do not
just go attacking things around Booty Bay or Ratchet, etc. All that will get you is a few points for the Pirates and a tremendous repair cost (mine was close to 60g). But instead you should go to Arathi Highlands and look for a cave to the southwest. The location on the map is 28,80 but it's the entire area to the bottom that you want (if you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll see when you go there) But there are approximately 6 npc characters that you can kill that will gain you some rep with the Pirates. And 5 of them will gain you 5 points each. The only one that will gain you 25 is the goblin. Although it takes an extremely long time for most of the npc characters to respawn, 3 of them respawn almost immediately and those 3 are located on the docks.
Edit:
I don't know about anybody else but while I was friendly with the fractions and my "At War" was clicked on, I could not attack the targets directly, I needed to use AoE spells.
Attacking players and npc characters IN the cities will not gain you rep with Bloodsail.
Thus is as far as I have gotten to so far, but I will come back and edit to update information on how to make this easier.
Good Luck!

Just managed to get exactly 3566 rep with Ratchet, Gadgetzan and Everlook in 60 mins killing the Bloodsail in Southern Stranglethorn. There are several 'boss' mobs that give 13-14 rep per kill (12 without guild perk) which sustain your rep gain until the other mobs respawn. Seems to be one of the faster solo grind spots. Hope this helps anyways and good luck with the grinding!
Also, has anyone found a better junkbox farming spot other than Blackrock Spire? I'm getting sick to death of the place.

Just FYI, the Cloth Turn-In quests are as follows:
Everlook:
Making Amends
Ratchet:
Mending Old Wounds
Booty Bay:
Traitor to the Bloodsail
Gadgetzan:
War at Sea
The NPC's for these quests are Slightly outside of the goblin towns that they represent. Don't go too far into those goblin towns because the bruisers will mess you up if you're Hated.
Each quest gives 500 rep with that town's faction and 250 for the other three.
And just to recap, you can check your achievement status by typing (or copy/paste into wow, I made a macro)
/script _=GetAchievementLink(2336);print('Shift click to link:', _)
(Thanks to
Adapteg
for that macro)
Even if you tank your Bloodsail rep, you will still maintain credit for having gotten honored.. Along with the
Achievement/Title for Bloodsail Admiral.

I found, that gaining reputation with ratchet is fastest by killing
Bloodsail Swashbuckler
,
Bloodsail Warlock
. It is small area, but VERY fast respawn. I also tried other (bigger) locations, but I always had to wait to respawn. Here you can grind without respawn breaks.
Grinding with priest I was able to get 352 rep / 10 min (2112 rep / hour)

submitted a SS for proof
I am proof positive you can do Steamwheedle Cartel FIRST and then Bloodsail after without getting RE-exalted with the Goblins. I got the Exalted Title back in Ulduar after running countless DM runs for the LW patterns and then for the rep, but just now on 4/4/11 (my birthday) got the Insane title by turning in my last 7 DMF decks.
so lesson is if you already have alot of goblin rep finish them out first and then do Bloodsail as they DO NOT have to be exalted/revered at the same time. Now I am just waiting for my "Agent of Shen'dralar" FoS to kick in

I don't really understand why people don't farm the boat in Grizzly Hills more often. I did my Bloodsail first, before they buffed the guards thank goodness. Then after learning I didn't have to maintain their reputation I did the cloth turn ins in the recommended order and ended up closest to exalted with BB. (about halfway through revered)
What I decided to do at this point was to kill venture company on the boat in the middle of the boats docked at the PvP zone in grizzly hills. They give 3 rep each kill for me as a human with guild perks. They give rep for every factions ASIDE from Booty Bay. Which means when i am done here, I will have to wrap up somewhere else. Probably Fray island.The boat maintains the same spawn rules as the island I just mentioned (off the coast of Ratchet), the faster you kill them, the faster they respawn, 4-5 will be spawned AT ALL TIMES. (bring a friend!)
Perks of "The Spawnboat" : lvl 73 mobs drop 10-30 silver along with Northrend greens and cloth. As a tailor/enchanter, this is awesome! I usually get enough dust to make enough Imbued Frostweave Bolts to make 3-4 frostweave bags that sell for around 200g on my server, sometimes 150. So that's about 50g an hour in coin alone, add in the vendor trash, and I usually end up with an average of around 100g an hour. That doesn't include the bags either. (Or Essences)

If you're playing a Human character, and you're in a guild that has the Mr. Popularity perk, that's an extra 20% right there. Throw in the Battle Standard, and that's an extra 5-10% more.
with 25-30% extra rep coming in, you should be able to get to Honored more quickly than most.
edit: did someone downrate this? alot of posts on wowhead are getting downrated more often lately...

I think your napkin math is a bit off.. DMF takes a LOT longer than 15 minutes. Even on a high population server you're not gonna be able to find 200+ DMF decks to readily purchase in all likelyness. A method most people use to grind DMF rep includes +25 rep rogue / blue decks as well and you can only turn a limitted amount of those in before the little quest completer despawns. I spent days and days doing the DMF portion of the grind, I think I spent more time grinding DMF to exalted than I did grinding goblins to exalted.

I'm looking for some advice on how I should get rep with Steamwheedle and hopefully I and other people in my situation will benefit from advice you all may have:
I just got to neutral or better with the various cartel factions through those rep repair quests, and I realized that I never really did a lot of goblin quests before I tanked my rep for Bloodsail, which means that I can quest a fair amount for rep which might be faster than the pirate grind (and I would enjoy the questing more than grinding, even if it was actually slower). My question is, should I finish all the questing first and then kill pirates for rep, or should I grind pirates first to some point and then quest? Or does it even matter? I ask because I know that in some cases the pirates don't give more rep with a particular city after you max revered, so I was wondering if the quests should be held until later.
Any advice would be appreciated.

the blues posted that you
DO NOT
have to have bloodsail and goblin rep at the same time if you hit honored w/ bloodsail go ahead and do the quests. or if you have the money, go to each goblin town and turn in cloth untill you no longer can and then do the quests. that will most likely eliminate having to grind too many pirates in the end

Ok i have a question. I want to get this achiev on my warrior. The warrior was my first toon i made when i started playing WoW so i didnt know about / understand this achievment when i started playing....so here i am..a couple years later. And currently my rep is at :
Booty Bay: 11827/12000 (honored)
Everlook: 7099/12000(honored)
Gadgetzan: 10768/12000 (honored)
Ratchet: 6349/12000 (honored)
BLOODSAIL BUCCANEERS : 28050/36000(hated)
I dont remember how much , if any , bloodsail rep i had before it started going down. But either way....i understand im in for the grind of a lifetime. Ive been working on my loremaster title/achievment for the past couple months so im just about done with every quest in eastern kingdoms and kalimdor.
Anyone have any suggestions on my course of action?
I assume i just need to finish out my booty bay rep to exalted...and then just grind non-stop booty bay raids with my friends? Also...If u get one or the other exalted doesnt it automatically become hated with the other? so no matter what ...anyone who wants this achiev has to get ONE to exalted...and then the other from HATED to exalted? Thanks for the clarification guys!

Im surprised that no one has said this yet, but the origin of this achivement name comes from Warcraft 3, a custom game that Blizzard made, called Skibi's Tower Defense, and one of the mini-games inside of the custom game is called insane in the membrane.

After the 4.0 patch I gave up on the "Insane in the membrane" achieve because as a clothy my mage could not down the Booty Bay Bruisers solo . And as I was already exalted with all 4 of the Steamwheedle goblin cities. Plus It would have been a very hard to find a tank and a healer to help with the extremely long grind of 51,000 reputation points required to get Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers.
So I started and finished the quest series in Booty Bay working on the Lormaster achieves with my mage . Later found out from a guildie that you could get rep from the named goblins and others in Booty Bay during the phased section of the quest line if you went into your rep section and clicked on the "at war with" box there. Main problem was that I had already done the quest line series and could not get back into the phased section of it. After I thought on it a while I went down and grouped with my guild mate as he was killing and gaining rep in booty bay and we found that I got the rep as well as he did because we were in a group even though we were in different phases as long as we stayed within range of one another.
My family has 2 accounts in Wow so I parked my mage on top of the Booty Bay Inn and logged on our second account (2 boxing ) and brought my hunter down to Booty Bay, did the quest line up to the point were the Baron sent her down to get the barrel of Double Rum and this is where the phased section of the quest line begins. Then my hunter joined my mage and my guild mate and started a killing spree. While the lv 85 bruisers were still around in my mages phase, they had been transformed back into lv 35s in the other phase. These give no rep but can be annoying as they will throw a net on you and trap you, also if you on a different level and you agro them they will start shooting you and bounce you into the air and keep doing it till you loose agro or they can get to you to attack you with melee weapons just like the lv 85 bruisers do. However these are easily one shoted by most anyone over lv 60. Also, don't bother killing any of the Auctioneer's as none of them give rep and they will flag you for pvp.
It took a couple of days of sitting on the roof of the Booty Bay Inn while my guild mate and my hunter slaughtered goblins but my mage finally made honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers and went ahead and did the Bloodsail Admiral's hat quest, and got that achieve. Then I took my mage back to SW and bought 3 more decks of the cheapest lv 60+ darkmoon faire cards I could find and turned those in and got my exalted rep with the Darkmoon Faire and gained the achieve "Insane in the membrane" I have already became exalted with all the other required factions and as per the blue posts you don't have to be honored with the bloodsail and exalted with the 4 goblin factions at the same time.
In the Phased Booty Bay you should get 5 rep per citizen you kill except for the ones I have mentioned above and the special ones below:
Booty Bay Elite (lv 71 / 20,815 hp) rep=25, respawn timer about 4 - 8 minutes. These guys show up with the BootyBay fishing turny people. They stand on either side of the fishing turny people.
Baron Revilgaz (lv 60 / 4120 hp ) rep=25
Fleet Master Seahorn (lv 60 / 3052 hp) rep=5 he and the Baron are pretty much on the same timer.
Grizzlowe ( lv 45 / 1848 hp ) rep=25 he is the shipmaster at the end of the docks
Warfmaster Lozgil (lv 35 / 1220 hp ) rep=15
Rickle Goldgrubber <banker> (lv 55 / 7842 hp ) rep=25
Viznik Goldgrubber <banker> (lv 55 / 7842 hp ) rep=25
Privateer Bloads (lv 40 / 1524 hp ) rep=5 he's hiding in the bank behind the 2 bankers Viznik and Rickle
Kebok (lv 35 / 1220 hp ) rep=5 Be careful killing this guy, he is an easy kill but he stands near the horde flight master so a mistarget could get the horde flight master after you along with his 2 elite wyverns. the flight master has 232,000 hp as does each of the 2 elite wyverns that will attack you.
One more thing, all the above number are the base numbers, they don't take into account being human (10% rep bonus) nor any guild and or battle standard bonuses you may have.
My guild mate that was helping me was having a problem trying to do the quest "Avast Ye. Admiral!" for the 500 bloodsail rep and the achievement to get the title Bloodsail Admiral. He was going out to the ship, Crimson Veil, where it was before he started the phase quest, and every time he would land on the deck all the NPC's would just disappear. Well, on my hunter I found another Crimson Veil in our phase parked next to the Island with the giant and the big broken goblin statue on it. Fleet Master Firallon is in his cabin waiting for you to turn in your quest.

The Booty Bay guards, as most of you know, hit like a truck. They were hitting my Pally tank for 12-20k and up to 36k crits and she is fully raid geared ilvl of 358. Be prepared because whoever is tanking this is actually taking raid level damage. Once you keep that in mind things get easier. I got to friendly in 4.5 hours and have 5500k to go until honored with Bloodsail. We plan to finish today.
I had a Paladin healer and an Arcane mage as my group, both fully raid geared (ironically the healer is my raid healer). If you don't want to get nailed the best thing to do is:
1. Work your way into Booty Bay through the shark mouth entrance and up to the dock.
2. Go to the left, and kill any guards you see. If there are no guards kill an NPC and they will instantly come for you.
3. If no guards come after a while, go to the right, kill the respawned guards at the tunnel entrance and stand on the ramp going towards the boat to Ratchet. If you have ranged this is easier as you can one-shot the NPC's there at a distance and the guards will run up the ramp towards you (sometimes they run up the hillside and may appear behind you, just look for them if you don't see one coming up the ramp but you show in combat). If you stand mid-way on the ramp you have a much more controlled situation.
4. When you hit hostile be prepared for guards to spawn just from your mere presence. We found it the easiest if I (the tank) ran down the ramp a ways, aggroing an instantly spawned guard then dragging them up a bit.
5. If you die - rez in the water, grab you flying mount and heal on the hillside. Then start back at the shark head entrance to the tunnel and work your way back in. That way you don't have to try to find a safe place to land inside the city.
When you and your group hit hostile you'll start instantly spawning guards out of nowhere. We had up to 5 at a time, and barely lived through that if at all. These guys hit our mage for 76k and our Pally healer for 35-40k. With a good healer 3 is tough but still manageable if you can DPS down in time, 4 is pushing it and 5 is iffy unless you manage to pop all your cd's in time. 6 and you can wave your armor good bye.
Keep in mind that there is a new flight path up the road by the arena that is run by the dwarves if you are alliance, so if you need to repair that's the place to do it. I doubt the goblins would be keen on fixing your gear after you were running around slaughtering them.
We died probably around 6-10 times during the 4.5 hours it took to get up to friendly (some of us died more then others). If you pull smart and are careful and not in a rush you can minimize your repair bill.
Lastly be prepared as some guards are bugged and will use ranged attacks as though the can't reach you even though you're right in front of them. Their ranged attacks are a pita and will have a constant knock-back, preventing you from getting to them. What I had to do was bubble, run up and put my back against a wall while getting aggro. Their ranged isn't that painful so your group can eat a little of it while you regain control.
Good luck :)

!Updated Cata Guide to Bloodsail Buccaneers!
This guide is intended for those who want to get Bloodsail Buccaneer rep w/o the super long grind. However, bear in mind that it still is a grind! First of all, you must still be able to get quests with booty bay in order to do this guide. Good? Awesome.
Step 1: Complete the following quests from
"海狼"马克基雷
瑟瑟发抖的“病鬼”
Next, talk to
大副克拉兹
and get
血帆海盗
After you've gotten "in" with the bloodsail buccaneers (via buff, not rep) do all of the quests on the boats until you get
Complete this quest and you'll become the "fleet master" of the Crimson Veil.
Once you've completed that chain, head over to the boat (Crimson Veil) , go to the captain's chambers, and check out the charts to get
急浪船帮
Do this quest chain until you get to
During this quest Booty Bay will be phased and under attack. During this phased event Bruisers are only level 35, and you can ransack Booty Bay quite easily. After about 3-4 hours of grinding, I hit honored with the Buccaneers and I was hated with everyone else. (I was working towards
你疯了吧?!
, so all I wanted was honored.) The great part about this phased event is that you can board the big bloodsail ship that's docked in the middle of Booty Bay and start offing pirates to get your Steamweedle cartel rep back, and the spawn rates on the pirates are ridiculously fast. Obviously this will take MUCH longer to grind out since you're going from hated - exalted, but it's definitely the fastest method I've found.
UPDATE: posted a youtube vid
Showing where to go
Hope this all helped!

If you don't already have the Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers part of this done, this achievement is impossible to obtain. The Ratchet, booty bay, and other steemwheedle guards (the only ones who give rep) are now impossible to solo, and require at least 2 healers to take out. They have 464k health each, but they hit a clothie for 60k a shot and a plate wearer for 50.
If there is another way to get your bloodsails rep up, please tell me, because killing guards is not an option anymore.

Can anyone confirm please is this achievement still obtainable?

As stated multiple times above, yes this is. One faction has been removed but this does not necessarily make it easier.
Changes include:
- Booty Bay Guards have 464k HP and hit a raid geared tank for 12-20k and a raid geared cloth wearer for around 50-76k. They now need a group to take down.
- Pirate mobs have been removed or minimized after Cata. Fewer mobs in Tanaris and outside of Rachet make grinding pirates even slower then before.
- Mobs for Ravenholdt rep have been removed completely from Hillsbrand Foothills. You can only grind them in Arathi and after a combined 4.5 hours (not all at once) grinding the mobs in a 7 min circle at Stormgarde Keep I really thought I was going to go insane. I did hit honored though. The respawn was slow enough (because I one shot them) that I ended up looting to keep the respawns even so I wouldn't have to back track. These guys drop linen/wool/silk. So if you need cloth for goblins consider turning on auto loot and killing some thieves.
- There are no longer repeatable quests for the goblins. The DM quest no longer gives rep and is not repeatable. The lone goblin still on a sucide mission to set up shop amongst pissed off sea giants on the shore of Feralas still has two quests that give 350 rep to each faction but these are no longer repeatable. The repeatable quest in Gadget has been removed.
Things that stayed the same:
- You don't need goblins exalted and bloodsail honored at the same time
- There are still cloth turn ins for the goblins. Do Everlook first with the runecloth. It has no direct pirate rep. LBRS dropped 10-12 stacks a clear for me on an 85 Pally. You could stop at the spiders and save time and only lose around a stack per run. (LBRS is your friend :) ) Then do Rachet since their direct pirate grind has been nerfed with long respawns.
- You still kill BB Guards for Bloodsail rep. Ask among your friends for help. You'd be surprised who doesn't care about their rep or wants to get the FoS for Bloodsail. I was
- You sitll kill mobs till honored and turn in lockboxes from neutral till exalted for Ravenholdt. With the nerfs to rep mobs for this faction it is arguably faster to just turn in lockboxes for the whole rep. You still need a rogue to complete this. I just leveled one. Slap three or four heirlooms on them and with mindful sapping (and knowing where your vanish is for emergencies) along with the pick pocket glyph a rogue can pick pocket LBRS up to the spiders solo from 60 up. The glyph is a must if you plan to keep your rogue in the 60's level range because of the aggro radius.
- Darkmoon Faire is still the same. Turn in decks. Farm herbs. Cry you can't get the right cards. Pull out hair. Shop AH and swear out greedy jerks. Farm more herbs. Scream. Turn in decks.
I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion about this achievement in it's current state.
And I forgot to mention - if you don't already have DK at max with profs or just have one sitting around at their starting level, they are perfect to transform into inscriptionists because of their level for this achievement. If you don't already have an herbalist, slap herbalism on to them, level them to 60 if they aren't there already and buy them flying and their license. Sure it's slow flying but at least it's flying and leveling herbalism goes by fast. You'll spend way way more time farming those herbs then leveling them.

I made an extremely useful tool to help you with the Insane title. This spreadsheet will:
1) Tell you how many more decks, cards, herbs, inks, full inventories you need for Darkmoon
2) Let you specify what rep bonuses you have such as human, guild perk
3) Specify an acceptable CPR cost per rep you want
4) Tells you, based on the CPR, what price you should buy all of the component items from the AH
5) Lets you keep track of all the cards you have
6) Shows you the rep/herb rep/gold per deck: lvl 60 decks and rogues decks are your best bet
How to use this most effectively:
Get the addon called Auctioneer. In the Auctioneer search function, choose the snatch feature and add all of the items in the ink and herb tables with the "Buy <" price. To get all of the item links you may need to find them first with the general search > snatch item button.
So to use this spreadsheet, put in your rep for darkmoon in A2, and select your rep level in B2. The stuff in the green box to the right will show you numbers corresponding to your rep. In the blue table underneath, you can add parts you have already and it will give you better projected numbers in the green box. The large "Deck" table you can use to record all the cards you have so you can easily see what you are missing. In excel 2007 the low numbers will be colored red, high numbers green. The "Acceptable CPR" or cost per rep, is the amount of gold you are willing to spend per point of reputation. Basically any cell that doesnt have a formula in it, you can put in your own numbers.
Excel 2007 format:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-YXOF_8tJr4YTA0YWEzYjUtN2JiMi00Mzc5LWI2YmUtNmQyOGE2Zjk3MGRk&hl=en_US
edit: This link should be public to the web sorry about that. This is a newer version but I don't have the time right now to convert it to another format. I would need to fix all the tables.
I also wanted to share some of my insight:
Bloodsail Rep:
The only viable way to do this in patch 4.2 is to get into the phased quest area of booty bay where pirates are invading. You can get there by doing the quest chain that starts with
"海狼"马克基雷
(another chain opens after his quests). When you get honored, find
舰队指挥官菲尔拉伦
He will be north west of booty bay in the phased area!
You must be hated with booty bay, and he will not be in the usual place in the south east! Don't leave the phased zone without your pirate hat!
Goblin Rep:
You can then grind
南海劫掠者
until gadgetzan revered, then the pirates at fray island outside ratchet until ratchet revered, then go back to
南海劫掠者
and also do quests that reward steamwheedle rep.

I'm currently working through this on my warrior. The tips I have so far, is for Darkmoon faire....Pay people to turn in decks for them. I paid 350g per turn-in. If your guild has the +10% rep perk, you're paying less than 1g per rep. Totally worth it. I also bought a lot of 60-80 'cards' and made decks, and just sold them off at stupid cheap prices. 10 nobles decks for 100g per! I generally never paid more than 50-100g for any single card....and with the 60 and 70 decks, I could generally get them for 10-15g.
As for ravenholdt. Just make sure to set your Hearthstone to Kargath, and fly your rogue over....I've been farming ~50-100 lockboxes a day for the past week. If you do kill low-level mobs for their 5.5 rep each, make sure that you get some Blackened Worg Steak. Tracking humanoids makes this much, must easier.
As for Bloodsail, Faldir's cove was a godsend after getting DEMOLISHED by booty bay guards.
Next up, Pirates farming :-(

Alright, so I have read alot of different statements regarding if I have to be
honored
with Bloodsail Buccaneers at the
SAME
time as I am
exalted
with the goblin factions, and the difference between
exalted
and
hated
with the goblins is quiet huge heh..
So I did not feel like randomly take a chance and hope for it to be true that I do not need them at same time.
There was earlier a bluepost saying you do
NOT
need them at same time, but people have also screenshotted GM conversations where they state that you
NEED
them
BOTH
to get the achievement.
So I simply went to the bottom with this case :)

I have been randomly working on different aspects of this achievement as well as others depending on which ones I wanted at the time.
I have found myself rep capped with BSB and working my goblin rep back up without having neg(-) effects on my BSB. But I'm capping out on SWC rep at 11999/12000. Are there mobs I can grind for SWC rep past Honored and not hurt my BSB rep?
OR
Is there something I can do where I can get mu SWC Exalted without hurting my BSB that bad and then grind something to get my BSB back up without hurting my SWC rep?

And Idea worth considering if you are serious about getting this achievement and are not human is to pay for a race change to human while you grind this rep, then switch back at the end. Will cost you about 40$ or two hours of work. Work two extra hours one day and you just saved yourself potentially hundreds. :)

I just want to state that among all the reputations required to get your "The Insane" title, the Darkmoon Faire is the toughest to reach exalted. Cartel + Bloodsail + Ravenholdt took a week (appx. 3-4 hours each day) with some help from guildees whereas DF rep. required almost a month to hit exalted (6-8 hours everyday to grind for the mats).

On my current character, i did this achievment a little backward. i am now exalted with all the steamwheedle cartel, although i did not get honored with bloodsail first because i like doing quests and i was past honored with all of them to start.
My question is can i go from exalted steamwheedle cartel and still be at least friendly with them after i get to honored with bloodsail?

Does anyone know if a GM can find out for you if you have ever been honored with the Bloodsail Bucc's? I got my Bloodsail Admiral FoS however I don't remember if I stopped at friendly or continued to honored.

If you are like me, and are on an expensive server when it comes to all kinds of cloth (that you need for getting neutral with steam... cartel) do like me and farm the ravenholdt rep first, and loot the bodies. they drop silk and linen which can be used for getting that neutral rep back.

I'm currently grinding this achievement,
i killed Booty Bay Bruisers back in Wrath, and then first really started like 6 months ago getting it...
so far my plan is:
Kill tanaris pirates, untill neutral with Gadgetzan
then do all the quests in tanaris
after that i did the cloth turn ins for the rest of the goblins, then i should be soon revered with Gadgetzan
then do loremaster, and get the rest of the rep
after that i will level up inscription on my DK, and turn rogues decks for DMF, and ofc Thorium Widgets.
when i'm getting Ravenhold i'm borrowing a friends rogue...
i hope i helped, its a pretty expensive and long grind doing this, but i get two of the achies i want the most, and i know alot of other people want those two too.

Does anyone else feel that getting honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers and exalted with the Steamwheel cartel has gotten way to hard as of cata. Back in wotlk I got honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers because the goblins were still lvl 70 or 75 i forget. But now they are lvl 85 and have nearly 500k you now need a group to do this. Also I wasn't even going for this achievement so I got hated 0/36000 with all the steamwheel cartel goblins. This is just crazy. Now in cata I want to get this achievement but I have to balance the reps. I found some people that will give you goblin rep and not decrease bloodsail rep. They are located in tanaris, if you know where the cavern of time is, its right behind it (called the Lost Rigger Cove). They give 5 rep with Gadgetzan and 3 with the others. I have been farming this for a couple days, and have made great progress as being 0/36000 hated to start with. I have now at exactly 13005/36000 little more than 33%. This achievement takes lots of dedication to complete. Unless your smart about it balancing everything out (which I did not do), but not saying its easy, just easier. I hope this helps, good luck.
Edit: This may go against some of what I said earlier about balancing the reps (unless you don't want to be hated with people, which I dont) but if you want to just go for this achievement and don't care what your rep looks like at the end with the goblins or bloodsails then don't balance the reps. Get them to the required criteria then dump them and do what ever you need next. Ex. I just got Exalted with the Steamwheel Cartel and now I need to get Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, so I get a group and I go to Booty Bay and kill as many people as possible.

So I finally decided to give my aspect on this.
I'm mostly done on
My warrior
at the moment.
has completed this a while back.
I farmed my Bloodsail Buccaneers to exalted back in Wrath and it cost me ever getting the Shendelar.
However that is a different matter.
As of patch 5.0.5 I have started working towards this achievement once more on my rogue so I can get more up to date information for people including approximate time frames. Will be updated as I go; I am doing this again because a pal of mine asked for help with completing the achievement on one of his toons. I might just discover how deep the rabbit hole goes if I continue to do this achievement.
Another update no in patch 5.4.2 both my friend and I quit playing for about nine months due to our guild folding. I am once more going to put things into perspective by doing this on my rogue and will sit down and create an actual guide to this achievement using all the data I gather and already know as well as updating this comment.
Edited for some up to date info that i have discovered now that I have completed the achievement as well as change things to links.
血帆海盗
They can be farmed to exalted currently by killing the Booty Bay bruisers. This is not hard to do with a Tank, Healer, DPS combo but get no more than a party of five people or your rep will start diminishing. I helped a guildy finish hers to exalted. If you do not wish to undertake this challenge or cannot find the help go to Faldir's Cove in
阿拉希高地
and kill the couple of pirates there, but expect the grind to be long and tedious. Though I have not gone to this spot recently myself a guildy has informed me that the spawn rate in Faldir's Cove has been nerfed. If you do not wish to go all the way to exalted you only need to farm up to honored; and you do not need to have this rep at the same time as your Steemwheedle Cartel reputation. This will save you a lot of time and if you save the quests "

This reputation will require some killing out in Stormguard Keep. I did this for a few weeks before raid time while waiting for people to log on and finished it in no time. However hating my rogue like I do the next part has caused me more difficulty though it is extremely easy. Simply go to Lower Blackrock Spire on a rogue at least level sixty, stealth and begin running around pickpocketing all the mobs for

. I have gotten varying amounts on single runs before heading to a mailbox to send the heavy junk boxes to my bank toon. Anywhere from about sixteen to as many as forty on a single run through pickpocketing everything. Get an engineer if you can to set the portable mailbox down by the turn in and mail them to yourself to prevent a lot of extra time running back and forth to and from a bank. The other thing you can do is offer gold for the boxes if someone wants to farm them for you. I offered ten gold a piece for them this price of course is going to vary by the population of your realm and how deep your pockets are.

After helping a guildy grind thier Bloodsail rep to exalted I lost everything I had earned up to that point and have had to start over. Everyone tells you to go to specific spots and kill the pirates if you don't want to lose your rep with the pirates. I simply tell you that the best place I have found is in Grizzly Hills in Venture Bay. On the ship with the Venture Co. mobs the re-spawn timer is nearly as fast as you can kill them. I have gotten into a habit of patting in a circle. You will get more Booty Bay reputation from the others however it has proven faster here for the others as well due to the close proximity of the mobs.

This rep is yet another bane of your existence when working on this feat of strength. This is because you will either have to farm a lot of herbs to be able to make the decks to turn in. Or the prices on your auction house will be driven up once someone realises even the lesser decks like the rouges are being bought. I have also noticed on the smaller realm I'm on that it is few and far between for how many of the decks I see on the auction house. This makes me believe that your best bet is going to be to farm the burning crusade herbs and make the level seventy trinket decks to turn in.
So everything I previously stated about this faction has changed because of the iteration of the Darkmoon Island which has made this the most daunting part of the grind so much simpler. Just make sure you have each of your primary and secondary professions to a skill of seventy-five so that you may do each of the profession quests; head to the faire each day and play the games daily. The final thing you can do is win or buy each of the dropped items that are able to be turned in each month that correlates with the achievement at this link
暗月掠夺者
if you do everything you can over the week the faire is around it will take about three months to do not counting any darkmoon decks you turn in; or have turned in before you started working on this.. Which leads me to my final piece of advice let your guildies know that you are working on your title especially when the trinkets are best in slot and ask if you can turn them in for extra rep.

There are two big problems I have getting this achievement.
1) The repair costs
2) The fact that once you're hated with Booty Bay getting rep for the Bloodsail buccaneers is so hard
But it's a lot of fun, including those two problems.

Alright, so I've been working on this chieve/FoS off and on for well over a year now. Luckily I started on the Shendralar stuff before they took it out, I was able to get that up to exalted before they took it out of the FoS, not that it matters now but it was nice to get! Ive already recently finally got my @#$% DMF rep up to exalted, which as I'm sure everyone here knows was a royal PIA. Again, before they're changing the DMF rep in patch 4.3 to make it sooo much easier to get. I did the grind for Ravenholdt, and I went one step further on the Bloodsail Buccs and went ahead and leveled them all the way to exalted, just bc I could now that cata made it possible to do off of the BB bruisers alone!
So basically I'm on my last step right now, which is grinding my rep for Steamwheedle Cartel up to exalted (all the way up from hated, stupid BB bruisers). The main reason for this post was to ask if anybody knows whether its true that the different pirates now continue to give rep all the way through revered to exalted? I have seen one person mention this and wanted confirmation on that, bc that would be nice! Now that they made getting this rep up a lot harder... I hope they add something in 4.3 for Steamwheedle cartel rep too in addition to the DMF rep! Now that they took out the rep gains from the quest in DM and they changed around the pirates in tanaris you can't get any kind of good pull there besides on the boats... I haven't tried the Venture Co. mobs in GH out yet, about to try that, just wanted to find out about whether or not the mobs give the rep thro revered now or not.

I got told when getting this achievement to aim for the rogue decks etc, because they have only 3 cards per deck and it's alot easier, but I did not do that, instead I went for the level 60 epic decks, and from what I heard darkmoon faire would be the toughest part, and in my opinion it was one of the easier, atleast when I did the level 60 epic deck method, winterspring is a very good place to farm for it :)
Goodluck all insane ppl :D

I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet but...there is a place in Arathi Highlands called Faldir's Cove where you can kill 6 npcs that respawn relatively quick for Bloodsail rep. They give around 5-28 rep depending on which one you kill but its easier than trying to kill the bruisers on your own. I was able to farm these guys for a couple of days going from 25000/36000 hated all the way to honored. Also if you can't kill Professor Phizzlethorpe, start his quest then abandon it and when he respawns he will be attackable.
To note, I did this the hard way back in cataclysm. I was already revered with the goblin reps and went for my bloodsail title first and then had to run around trying to get all of the mats and quests done again to hit exalted with the goblins. Also, I didn't sit on my computer all day just farming for this. When I started there were still other reps needed and I didn't feel like farming the really difficult ones.

They have removed the mobs from the boat in Faldir's Cove which use to be a very good place as they respawned almost instantly...,
they have however left Shakers O'Breen, First Mate Nilzlix, Captain Steelgut and Doctor Draxlegauge. Other then Shakers O'Breen the rest have 1-2 mins spawn time.
My advice would be find a few friends willing to do it with you, and kill the Booty Bay Bruisers.

I have read that you can get your Bloodsail rep to Honored and then kill it with the cloth turn in rep to rebuild Steamwheedle Cartel rep and still get the achievement since they do not have to be at the required rep at the same time.
Does anyone know if you can get Steamwheedle cartel rep to exalted then kill it while getting Bloodsail rep up to honored and still get the Insane achievement this way? I ask because I am revered with all of the steamwheedle reps but 0/36000 with Bloodsail and it would be a big time saver to do the Steamwheedle first in this case.
Note: I'm also exalted with Darkmoon Faire and Ravenholdt already.

Hello, just sharing my experiences in this achievement.
I'm using the food buff form Pilgrim's event most of the time, and the gift from WoW's 7th Anniversary, and both them really improve your rep levels. With the guild perk, Insane is not anymore an impossible dream.
Killed pirates at Faldir's Cove (Arathi Highlands), as mentioned here, to get Honored rep with Bloodsail Buccaneers. Just a few hours of serious non-stop grind.
After that, I lived a few days in Tanaris, killing the other pirates at Lost Rigger Cove.
When I got exalted with Ratchet and Gadgetzan, moved to the boat in Grizzly Hills (Venture Bay, the one in the middle), because my Booty Bay rep was the worst to get back, and in this boat each kill gives you 5-6 rep points with Booty Bay.
But you can only grind there until 11999 Honored.
After that I had to return to Tanaris, and there I got Revered with Booty Bay, and had to stay there to do the whole 21 k rep grind to Exalted, and got Exalted with Everlook, too.
Now I'm getting the heavy lockboxes to raise rep with Ravenholdt.
I'm doing the insane with my Main char druid, but have also a level 85 ENG rogue, so I don't even have to leave UBRS.
I've tried the other spots suggested in Ravenholdt rep comments, but AV and BRD didn't work for me. UBRS is definitivelly the best place to farm lockboxes.
I go to Hordemar City, passing the wood bridges, going down and picking every mob pocket in the way. Avoid the passage guarded by the two Spirestone Enforcers, continue in front, pass carefully through the group of four Scarshield mobs, and use the ramp down.
In this place, Tazz'Alaor, begins my grind path. I clear the whole room, then use the ramp up to the room next to it, and pick pocket those mobs over there (will be 4 casters and 3 guys praying next to an altar). Leave this room and take the other ramp down, to the right, passing the 3 guys standing up. You will be on a stone bridge, broken in the middle left. Walk in front of you, to the other side, and pick the pockets from mobs close to the fire.
Get the bridge down, use the ramp in front of the broken one. You will be in a huge room. Do your job with the mobs. I suggest to mark one of the mobs from each the 2 patrols that wander here, so you will know with guys you already "cleaned".
From this room you will access 2 other spots: one little room with 4 guys that connects with a room with a Berserker that connects with a room with War Master Voone; the other spots lead to an area with tents (it's Hordemar City again). When you go further and pass through a semi-hidden path between rocks, you reach another big group of mobs and tents. Go all the way, stealing from mobs. Just to make it more clear, it's the same percurse you must do if you're in the quest to get the baby wolf and little spider companions.
When I finish these places I return to the beggining - Tazz'Alaor - , because all this grinding gave me enough time to respawn those pockets. So, it's a non-stop grinding.
Good luck and good work to everybody. I hope these informations help.

Alright, I asked earlier and never got a response - I was wondering if once you get to Revered if the goblins that you WERE killing quit giving you rep w/ that faction still, i.e. the Tanaris mobs giving rep w/ Gadget. That's how it USED to be. I had heard a rumor that that was no longer the case. I finally reached Revered and tested it for myself and its true, they DO give you rep all the way to exalted now! So find yourself a favorite little grind spot and just stay at it!

Ok, I am honored with Steamwheedle Cartel and Cant seem to be able to kill bruisers or anything that will give me Bloodsail Rep. Hopefully I am missing something simple that people can suggest for a fix.
I have tried Bruisers, gone to Ratchet, and Faldir's Cove everything is green and I am unable to attack.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I found the easiest way to get Booty Bay, Ratchet, Gadgetzan, and Everlook rep was to go to Venture Bay in Grizzly Hills and kill the Venture Co. Evacuees. Each kill gives 5 or 6 rep for Booty Bay and 2 or 3 rep for the other 3 goblin cities. This doesn't harm your Bloodsail Buccaneers rep either (at least i think).

You do not have to have all the reputations at the same time. But you have to make sure it is marked as done on the achievement before you start reducing it to level another one.

I kind of don't like how Blizz is making this achievement easier and easier...
First they remove Shen'dralar reputation, now they make Darkmoon Faire grind a happy-go-lucky island with tons of free reputation. Sure, the Bloodsail Buccaneers is a bit harder since they buffed up Booty Bay Bruisers and removed some NPCs from Faldir's Cove, the Ravenholdt is worse because there aren't as many NPCs in Blackrock Spire as there used to be, but in my opinion it doesn't make up for the effort it would take to grind or pay (at least 100k on my realm) for the former requirements.
I'm half way through the achievement and I feel a bit cheated because it's not going to be as 'insane' and rewarding as it was before.

Dreadmight
I earned this Feat of Strength a few days ago- just polished off my Ravenholdt rep. I'm quite happy now. The Darkmoon Faire change saved me a good sixty decks, and while it wasn't required, I did manage to get Shen'dralar to exalted before the Cataclysm patch hit.
I can't compare how difficult it is now to how it was pre-Cataclysm, but I will say that, either way, this is still a difficult title to get, and I wish those still working towards it the best of luck.

Shakes O'breen and the bunch in Arathi Highlands do not give reputation past 11999/12000 Honored. In order to get to Revered and through Exalted you must kill Booty Bay Bruisers.
Edit: I understand the quests push you into Revered. I was referring to completionists who want exalted.

Hello there guys! I have a few questions I'd like to ask cause I'm kinda confused with this Insane thing!
1) I want to start doing the ach but I dont know where to start! I choose Ravenholdt
2) I have allrady done Avast ye Admiral with the bloodsail bucanners! And I farmed the Steamwheedle Cartel rep back to friendly! Is that a problem?
3) I heard that it is no longer required to get the bloodsails rep 1st or the goblins rep 1st...Is it true
4) It would be nice if a guy that has allready done it or has been in the same position as mine could give me his lights!

When I raise rep with Ravenhold (I am not a rogue) can I use a friends rogue to take the heavy junkboxes for me?
I mean are they tradeable?

I would suggest that when you farm reputation, you should put down the ''Battle Standard of Coordination'' which increases rep, exp and honor gained. this both counts for completing quests and for killing mobs, killing the mobs will now have a chance to give 6-7 rep with the main oposite faction of them, instead of 5-6. I know this for a fact, and it really helps a lot eventho it sounds like small amounts! :) GL grinding

Is it possible to be exalted with Bloodsail Buccaneers and Booty Bay at the same time?

Having recently (and finally) gotten the Insane achieve, and finding out we can reach exalted with the Bloodsail, I wanted to keep a log of the events...
I'm personally a sucker for rep and after spending 4 painful days at Booty Bay killing guards (Prot pally, holy priest and ret pally - using the
Battle Standard of Coordination
we got to exalted.
Now to regain the exalted status with the Steamwheedle Cartel without hurting the Buckneer rep. To save you a trip: the Feralas repeatable quests are no longer available. No more giant zapping for you!
What follows is truly insane, time consuming and I recommend a couple of friends (to relief the boredom) and a drink or ten. Also, make sure you feed/cage all animals/chidren. Or feed the children to the caged animals. I take no responsibility for your actions.
Started the grind in Venture Bay, Grizzly Hills.
Rep weight (using the Battle Standard)
BB 6-7
Ratchet 3
Gadgetzan 3
Everlook 3
This will take you to 11999/12000 honoured with BB, and to just over 30K rep with the Gad, Everlook and Ratchet - worth mentioning that the greys pull in some G, and the cloth/greens are great to level tailoring/enchanting or make a few Gs in the AH.
I'm greedy. I chose the AH.
Also, it's preferable to bring a BE chicky with you, have her undress and let her run around aggroing everything for you. This will provide you with hours of entertainment.
From Venture Bay, I headed to Southbreak Shore, Tanaris. That bumped my BB rep over to revered and all the way to exalted - you probably want to do a little dance here if you are so inclined. To my surprise, Gadgetzan went into revered but it stopped at 20999/21000. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, as I was expecting it to stop at 11999/12000 honoured. (Worth noting here... on my server, it was pretty busy with other people rep farming. We had a group of 4-5 going 2 days in a row and I gained well over 25K rep in the 2 days).
Rep Weight
Gadgetzan 6-7
Ratchet 3
BB 3
Everlook 3
Monatary gains: Mageweave (again, tailoring or AH), random Mithril veins, Volatile Rum (this is both for your toon's amusement and/or to make rocket fuel if you like blowing things up), and the odd Firebloom. Also worth noting that we got a few blues, an epic and lots of xmog goodies.
Keep loot on FFA, if you're bringing friends; makes it easier all around. This type of farm is also not only more tolerable with buddies but it also gives everyone a chance to take a break at a time and everyone wins. If you have no crazy friends.... bribe some.
*Insert passage of time, loss of sanity and no Freya buff to save you from Yogg*
So at this point you should be exalted with Booty Bay, one point from exalted with Gadgetzan and Everlook and Rachet should be about 8/12K honoured. From here, the path is fairly simple. Stay in Tanaris and bring Ratchet and Everlook to exalted, or return to the boat in Venture Bay to finish Gadgetzan and the other two. I chose the latter. Despite having the group in Tanaris, it's a lot of running and I'm melee (particularly frustrating was running all the way to a mob and having the hunter ping them off as I got in reach. She was thoroughly enjoying this game. Me? Not so much. It takes too long to run all over the place). Plus there's the monetary gain in Venture Bay. The only draw back is the screeching fiddle music in Grizzly Hills but music can be turned off. Pheew!
Darkmoon Rep: easy peasy now a days. Go to the faire when it's in and do your dailies, turn in items, do the quests. Yawn.
Ravenholdt: Possibly the most challenging one (besides killing bruisers in BB). Requires not only time and patience, but you will also need a rogue leveled to at least 60 - I recommend minimum 65.
Before you turn in the locked boxes, kill Syndicate mobs until you reach 11999/12000 honoured. Those shady characters can be found in
Strahbrad and the Uplands (Hillsbrad Foothills)
Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands. Just found that, helping a friend, that the Uplands guys have been thoroughly thinned.
As for the locked boxes.... I've done this grind twice. Pre-cata it was far easier since
LBRS
had far more mobs. Post Cata became very irritating. UBRS is useless aside from the the rooms at the very entrance, where the orcs are chilling and plotting world domination. I will forgo explaining the most desirable paths and recommended glyphs as there are several guides already in existance. The only thing I do recommend is that you take up engineering with your rogue. At 65 you can learn Wrath schematics and
Moll-E
will be extremely helpful unless you have an engineering buddy willing to babysit you; or bring another engineering toon and drop the mailbox outside. It remains long enough for you to switch and mail the boxes. Also, very important, do make sure you have nothing else besides your hearthstone in your bags before you begin the pick pocketing grind. You will need a couple of thousand of them. You will need bag room. (One last note on this - Iron Summit
is
just outside Blackrock Mountain. There is a mailbox and an inn there where you can park your rogue. It is a very short trip in case you do not wish to level engineering or don't have an engineering buddy to drop a mailbox for you.)
Happy grinding, folks! And congratulations on your soon to be Insane title.
Special thanks to my awesome friends back in A52 !

Hey all,
Forgive me if this has been said already, but I didn't see it.
So I was going to turn in a batch of lockboxes for Ravenholdt rep tonight and just about had a coronary when I realized the NPC I used to turn them in to no longer had the quest! (Farahd, I think?)
Fortunately I took a moment to run around the compound in disbelief and realized the turn in is now that Wolfe guy by the table inside. So, for anyone who might be throwing a fit because they think they've been screwed out of Ravenholdt rep at the last minute, not so!
(Also, the knives are no longer unique so you can stockpile them and vendor them at your convenience, if you're so inclined.)

I was lucky enough to finish this last week, i can confirm that some GM's have been mis-informed as to the requirements.
I had all of the required reps up to exalted, with the exception of Ravenholdt (neutral) and Bloodsail Buccanneers (36000 hated). i was told by a GM that the Steamwheedle Cartel reps had to be exalted and the Bloodsail rep at honoured
at the same time
. They suggested farming the 2 reps alternately so that the steamwheedle didnt drop too low as the Bloodsail one rose. This would obviously have taken a substantial period of time, especially as the Booty bay rep dropped by 25 every time the Bloodsail rose by 5.
I used the script mentioned elsewhere in this thread to track my progress, ignored the GM and continued farming the mobs in faldir's cove and heavy junkboxes using my son's rogue.
Even as my steamwheedle rep was plummeting it still remained green in the tracker, and I got the FoS with my last junkboxes even though by now all my Steamwheedle reps were at 36000 hated.
I also got Hero of Shattrath this month (without the aid of the AH) so yes, I am indeed, quite mad. :)

I will soon get my insane title
18000 / 21000 darkmoon is what i have left
Too bad i have to wait a month for the last 3000 rep :-P
Ravenholdt was the first faction i started with
And after that i did bloodsail honored from almost Max hated on this char.
When i was done with bloodsail i had the 4 steamwheedle factions at max hated
So it means 84000 rep from max hated-exalted and about 3 rep per kill so it means you have to kill about 30000 pirates
I was grinding southsea pirates in tanaris from hated-exalted cuase i didnt want to
decrease my bloodsail rep
Hated - 36000 rep
Hostile - 3000 rep
Unfriendly - 3000 rep
Neutral -3000 rep
Friendly - 6000 rep
Honored -12000 rep
Revered - 21000 rep
Steamwheedle is the most time consuming in this achievment took me about 2-3 weeks and all i did was farming pirates many hours a day
This achievment is very easy but damn its a long long boring grind
If you dont start hardcore farm for this you will never get this
But its a damn good challenge since i love farming :-)

A big tip for this is to make sure you do all dailys for darkmoon when they arrive first week every month
I was revered with darkmoon when i started with insane and now im done with everything exept 3k rep darkmoon so i need 1 more month
So i was actually able too do all this within a month
But all i did this month was farming!
Southsea pirates in tanaris does not decrease your bloodsail rep
They give about 2-3 rep per kill with ratchet everlook and booty bay and about 5 rep per kill with gadgetzan
Come on darkmoon come to me! :-)

I have a variation of a question asked before.
I'm currently exalted with the
Bloodsail Bucceneers
and
Darkmoon Faire
. I'm neutral with
Ravenholdt
and still hated with the goblin factions. (I'm following some guides and comments on wowhead to raise those now.)
I'm going for the Insane in the Membrane Feat of Strength only on my
human warlock
because of the
Diplomacy racial
in addition to the

and

If you've reached the exalted status before October 2008: Go back to Revered and go for Exalted again!
My story:
I was exalted with Booty Bay and revered with the other Steamwheedle Cartel factions. This year I've reached Exalted wit the other ones too and then I've found out that there is "Insane in the Membrane". COOL! Now let's get Honored with the Bloodsail... Now I'm almost Hostile with them (I was full hated) and full hated with Booty Bay. On this topic I saw the command to check out this achievement and that gave me a shock! Booty Bay was in the "TO-DO"-list! WAAHH! Then I've made a ticket and this was the answer I've got:
"If you were exalted with the goblins before the achievements were brought into the game, this would be why they're not included in the achievement. Most achievements are not retroactive, you need to have completed the criteria after October 2008 in order to get them correctly flagged.
Sadly, this is not something we can overide, the only way to get the insane achievement would be to get exalted with the goblins again. I know this seems like quite a struggle and a lot of work, but it could benefit you in more than one way, wouldn't it be great to be able to walk around Booty Bay without getting attacked? :)
Good luck"
Yeah... I'm screwed... But I'll get there!

Of course you can adjust this for Horde or Alliance, but it will give you a general idea of where to quest if your more pressing achievement is Insane in the Membrane.
Good Luck!

If you have 2 characters with different exalted/honored rep within these factions, will you get the Insane title when MoP comes out with the shared achievments? Do you even share reputation?

You should totally listen to Cypress Hill - Insane in the Brain while grinding this.

Hello,
Do you have a friend, or loved one with an extreme hatred of pick pocketing, pirates, and/or rogues? Do they also seem to have a phobia of goblins? Do they show symptoms of schizophrenia where they believe they may or may not have heard or seen stealth units? Do they always refuse to play cards, and turn down that invite to the Faire? Please use extreme caution when around said person if any of the above apply. The individual may very well be "Insane".
Sincerely and V/R,
a concerned observer.

I got this achievement after having been exalted with Steamwheedle before starting the Bloodsail grind. Apparently it is not necessary to have both reps simultaneously.

This song kinda describes what you go through to get this achievement.

After MoP hits, I'll be attempting this for my level 1 bank alt using an 85 on my other account.
'The Insane' on a level one...don't get more appropriate than that.

Started this achievement yesterday morning on a level 85 Night Elf Blood DK (Bloodyarch)
Started with farming Blood sail Buccaneers to honored was easily able to solo farm Booty Bay with raid gear, stood on the Baron's balcony and got the extra rep from him and the spawning Bruisers from round about when i kill the surrounding mobs for 5 rep each took be around 4-5 hours to do this.
Once i got honored i continued on to get back to neutral started off with ratchet as it has the least amount of quests farming linen at Sentinel Hill in Westfall mobs are instant re spawns (the Bandits) and have a nice drop rate dropping D&D was killing 10-20 a time and blood boiling then looting up as i killed more took be 1hr to farm enough cloth.
next i done Everlook Runecloth was cheap so i bought it off AH but otherwise i would farm LBRS / UBRS nice drop rates in there can farm it quite quickly.
Lastly i got silk cloth again was pretty cheap and done Booty Bay to neutral and in doing this got Gagetzan to neutral.
I plan to get this before MoP gonna farm the Steamwheedle to exalted then do Ravenholdt by farming the Sindicate mobs til honoured then get the lock boxes from LBRS / UBRS on my rogue and finish off my going from Neutral to Exalted with Darkmoon in 1 week
Will keep this updated!

I've written guides for all the reputations involved in this feat of strength.
They're much more visual than anything else out there and I've even created videos showing you stuff like my Darkmoon AH techniques, Ravenholdt junkbox farming routes and steamwheedle rep farming spots.
The site and direct links are as follows:

If you use the guides and enjoy them or have feedback I'd love to here from you!

BEWARE OF THIS ACHI IN WOTLK CLASSIC!
Im not sure if its intended or a bug, but even tho wotlk classic is based on 3.3.5 you actually need to have bloodsail buccaneers and steamwheedle cartel reputations at the same time. i did it the wrong way, and now i just wasted alot of hours for nothing and have to do goblin reputations again. as you can see from the comments here and everywhere else, you didnt need to have goblins and pirates simultaneously in wotlk, atleast not after patch 3.1. i just feel so scammed, how is anyone supposed to know this? its literally impossible to know unless someone tries it before, classic is based on 3.3.5 and i even had the checkmark on the achievement.
pretty bull#$%^ if you ask me, thanks blizzard.

Don't be like me. Comments here seem to indicate at some point in the past you could achieve Bloodsail/Steemwheedle separately. That is not the case per WOW help article which I only found after not earning the achievement:
"The Wrath of the Lich King: Classic version of this achievement requires a character to reach a state where all the criteria in the achievement are true at the same time. This means characters will need to be exalted with all the goblin reputations at the same time as being honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers. The WoW team has confirmed this is true to how the achievement originally worked when the achievement system first came out before it was later changed to function like how it currently does in Modern WoW."
RIP my time, but I'll get it eventually!

Why in christ do none of these comments tell you that you need them ALL AT THE SAME TIME you can't do Bloodsail Admiral and Steemwheedle Exalted separately.

Darkmoon Faire (Darkmoon Faire rep)
Because this is the longest rep grind, it is advised to start it first. Level an inscriptionist. If you don't have a rogue and you need an alt for this, it wouldn't hurt to level a rogue alt up now too. Watch the darkmoon card prices along with herb prices. Do the math. It takes ~4200 herbs per hero deck. For me, goldclover and deadnettle run around 25-30s/ea and decks sell for 4-5k reliably, which is almost doubling my money for each card.
Destroy Booty Bay (Bloodsail Buccaneers rep)
Declare war on Booty Bay. Run around Booty Bay and kill all guards you find. There are good spots to stand in to AoE away from regular NPCs. One end of the dock, one up the dock, one is down the ramp (you can even duck into the right hand building to LOS them all tighter), and one is the big pole near the Alliance FP. If you go to an area and just stand there the guards will stream in for a while then stop spawning, at that point move elsewhere. Get honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers. It would be ideal to max this out and use the cloth turn ins to raise steemwheedle back up until you are barely honored. Keep in mind the cloth turn in will give you a hit to Bloodsail.
Farm the Plaguelands
You will need about 10 each of Shadow Skin and Frayed Abomination Stitching, plus a LOT of Blood of Heroes.
Shadow Skin - farm Scholomance, sneak in, over the bridge, turn left, then go into the room and on the left side are holes to drop down. Kill the boss in the bone room, then go back through and you will be in a room of mobs immune to boomkin spells, you should be able to go through the other door to the final boss. Kill all 6 mini bosses and the final boss. Some drop skins. You should average 2/run.
Frayed Abomination Stitching - run Stratholm dead side, basically just go kill Baron Rivendare. The stitching is on the abominations right outside his chamber, so you are inches away from an attempt at the mount anyway.
Blood of Heroes - Get Questie, search for Blood of Heroes, select "show on map", run through each of the nodes in Western Plaguelands. Once you loot one, at least one will spawn elsewhere. You will need a lot of these, probably 30 to start with.
Farm Dire Maul North (Steamwheedle Cartel and Shen'dralar rep)
Buy a stack of Pristine Black Diamonds and 2 stacks of Large Brilliant Shard too. You will get some diamonds farming instances. Also buy a few stacks of rugged leather and bolt of runecloth.
First do the Elven Legends quest. You also need access to DM north if you do not have the crescent key yet. There are a couple other dungeon quests like Pusillin that give Shen'dralar rep.
You will farm Steemwheedle Cartel and Shen'dralar at the same time here. Kill ogres until you get a shackle key. Basically the path of going west to the courtyard, get the key in the middle, then go inside and follow the tunnel. You will be at a goblin named "Knot" standing on the right hand side. Talk to him and tell you you have a shackle. He will then have a quest to free him. Off he goes. LOOT THE BOX HE LEAVES BEHIND. You will hopefully get ogre tannins. Now go up the ramp and there is a basket in the corner with another tannin, loot this box. A bushwhacker comes out. Kill him, he has the highest chance of dropping a shackle key. Continue killing your way back until you find another shackle key then exit the instance. At this point, if you have a shackle key, rush to Knot, if you don't, just kill every ogre you see while you work your way back and forth. It is unique so priority is using it before you kill another ogre. It is also a key so it will show up in the keychain, not inventory. I made a weak aura to show text when item count == 1. The tannins you can turn into Knot along with rugged leather and bolts of runecloth to make ogre suits (also unique, so just destroy it) for 75 rep per turnin. Freeing knot is 350 rep.
Along the way you will get one of three books. Libram of Rapidity, Libram of Focus, and Libram of Protection. The second you get a book, go back to the first room of the instance. There is a tunnel that has a door. Follow this unnecessarily long tunnel until you get to a room. Go straight and the first elf on the left is your turn in guy. Each libram is 500 rep. You need 84 turn ins for exalted. You can sometimes buy books (especially rapidity which uses blood of heroes) on the AH decently cheap.
You will now get in a cadence of grabbing books or shackles and turning them in then continuing through the instance. It seems to be a good balance that you should have Shen'dralar neutral->exalted about when you get goblin reps hated->exalted.
Go back and farm or buy materials as you run low.
Level a Rogue (Ravenholdt rep)
First kill Syndicate mobs until 11999/12000 Honored in Alterac/Arathi/Hillsbrad. Get a rogue alt up to 70 or 80 or so, enough to easily pickpocket classic dungeons. Pickpocket heavy junkboxes from mobs in UBRS and send them to your main to turn into Ravenholdt. You will need 1400 heavy junkboxes total.
Congrats. you are now insane. Enjoy the worst title in the game.

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO IS DOUBTING, READ!
short: just got my title, and i have all goblins hating me now! YOU DONT NEED TO HAVE THEM ALL THE SAME TIME (but...)
long: first i was grinding 2/4 goblins rep at barrens just to get 40 exalted reps for achievement (got exalted at WotlK, not earlier, maybe this is important), then i've learnt about The Insane title, read a lot of controversial comments about bloodsail and goblins reputations, but since i had 2/4 goblins exalted already i decided just to test it in case it works and i dont need to have them the same time, so i farmed mobs till revered Ravenholdt, then hired rogue to farm me boxes (as i didnt want to play rogue), and got it exalted, then finished all goblins rep at Tanaris, farmed and bought librams for Shendralar, killed guards at Booty Bay (it was stressful because i realized that i dont just go to neutral 0/3000 with goblins, but hated 0/30k and 10k/30k, predicting how much time it will take to farm it back, and also nervously laughing about the decreasing speed of reputation's compared to hours of grinding 2-3 rep per kill), and today after non-stop headache with all these cards (i'm playing at Nehtergarde Keep, very dead server) i've finally got my title
so, again, i'm not sure (!) it gonna work if you got exalted with goblins before WotlK release
wish you luck with getting this title (but seriously, better dont start if your server is as dead as mine, I regretted three hundred times that i've started it)

Doing this in 2024, my partner just finished the ravenholdt grind, having taken care of bloodsail first, and then recovered goblin rep until it was at exalted, but the achievement did not pop.
A bug ticket confirmed that Bloodsail needs to be maintained.
So do your grinds accordingly.
