Earning Vanguard reputation points

You can earn Vanguard reputation points in the following ways:

• Completing quests that give points as part of the reward, see Category:Gives Vanguard points.
• Completing Dungeons in the Charr Lands.
• Turning in a Hero's Handbook or Master Dungeon Guide to Gedrel of Ascalon [Vanguard Herald] inside the Eye of the North.
• Slaying creatures while under the Vanguard Patrol blessing.

Using a Siege Devourer to clear Dalada Uplands or Sacnoth Valley is a relatively easy way to farm points while under this blessing.

• A player can easily get up to 3k Ebon Vanguard Reputation Points after clearing Dalada Uplands (Takes about 1 hour) and collecting bonus points from Scouts located near Resurrection Shrines.
• Clearing Sacnoth Valley takes 50-80 min and ~4500 points can be gained (including bonuses from the shrines) per run. It's recommended to clear the Charr temple at last (300 points per boss then, 4 bosses there).

• After getting Valued Agent (8), Vanguard Patrol is no longer available in Normal mode. Instead, you will get the Veteran Vanguard Patrol.
• Keep in mind that a boss gives more points after defeating a lot of creatures. After collecting over 250 kills in Dalada Uplands you will receive up to 300 points for killing each boss,which you will get 1000-1200 points from the bosses only.

Trivia

• The title's effect, Rebel Yell, might be a reference to the song "Rebel Yell" sung by Billy Idol.
• The "Rebel Yell" was a shout used by the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. It was used by the Rebels to prepare their mental state for battle, and to cause confusion, fear, and panic in the Union lines.
