There are two methods to gain reputation with The Lorewalkers. While it’s an option to do daily quests, there is a method that will get you exalted within a few hours, and all it requires is going to 41 specific locations, where you collect scrolls spread across Pandaria.
Collecting scrolls
Collecting scrolls is by far the fastest method for reaching exalted. The way it works, is that a group of scrolls are tied to different achievements, and by reading them and completing an achievement you will gain 2016 reputation with The Lorewalkers. Additionally, you will receive mail from Lorewalker Cho, with a quest item, and once handed in you will gain an extra 2992 reputation.
So, the scrolls themselves don’t give you reputation, but there are 9 achievements and 8 quest items, for a total of 42.080 reputation which is enough to get you from neutral, with 0 reputation, to exalted.
This guide will take you through each location of the 41 scrolls. You don’t need to do anything to start collecting scrolls, you can simply just begin. The guide will be devided in zones, starting in The Jade Forest, and the small heading indicate the name of the scroll.
If you wish to simply get waypoints or follow your own map, you can get the addons TomTom and Paste in which you can copy paste coordinates, which you will find here.

Extra Tips
Just like any other reputation grind, you can speed up the process and skip a few achievements, if you wish to do so. Humans get 10% extra reputation as a racial buff, so by collecting the scrolls with a human character, you can skip exactly one achievement (Go to your achievement menu – exploration – Pandaria, to find the different achievements and the scrolls attached to them).
If the Mists of Pandaria Timewalking event is active, then you can also make use of the 50% bonus reputation provided by Sign of the Mists during this event. By doing the grind with 50% bonus reputation, you can skip three achievements regardless of race. Be sure to check which scrolls are under which achievement.
Lastly, when you hit revered with The Lorewalkers, you can purchase Grand Commendation of The Lorewalkers for 50 gold from Tan Shin Tiao, which will give you 100% bonus reputation with the faction on all characters on your account. This means that you can complete 5 achievements and hand in 4 quests to get revered and purchase the item, and then skip two achievements.
