The Assembly of the Deeps Renown Guide

The Assembly of the Deeps is one of the four primary factions on the continent of Khaz Algar. It is comprised of the Machine Speakers, a contingent of Earthen dwarves who work to maintain the Titan machinery in The Ringing Deeps, and a group of friendly kobolds who have broken away from the Kobold King. The faction was added to the game with The War Within and is the second one that players encounter on the continent.

How to Get Assembly of the Deeps Reputation

To start earning Renown with The Assembly of the Deeps, you must first unlock the faction for your Warband by completing the Khaz Algar main story campaign through the quest Back to Gundargaz. This quest is required to unlock the faction, but once it is unlocked you will not need to unlock it again for any of your characters. This quest is completed shortly after you arrive in The Ringing Deeps, though you will need to complete the first part of the story in Isle of Dorn before you get there.

There are 25 ranks of Renown, each with their own rewards. Each level of Renown requires 2500 points of reputation with the faction. To see your current progress, open the Khaz Algar Summary by clicking on the icon in your minimap, then click on The Assembly of the Deeps. You can hover over the faction icon at the top of the window to see your current progress. You can also open the Reputation tab of your Character window (default hotkey U) and hover over The Assembly of the Deeps there under The War Within.

Once you have unlocked the faction for your Warband, there are several ways to increase your reputation with The Assembly of the Deeps:

• Completing standard quests in The Ringing Deeps
• Killing rare spawns in The Ringing Deeps
• Locating the five lore objects for Khaz Algar Lore Hunter in The Ringing Deeps
• Completing the Awakening the Machine World Event in The Ringing Deeps
• Completing World Quests for the faction across The Ringing Deeps
• Completing any World Quests in Khaz Algar while Contract: Assembly of the Deeps is active

Note that only the World Quests and Awakening the Machine event are repeatable for earning reputation.
