How to gain reputation with The Consortium faction?

Consortium reputation can be earned by running Mana-Tombs as well as collecting Oshu’gun Crystal Fragment, Pair of Ivory Tusks, Obsidian Warbeads, and Zaxxis Insignia for turn in.

Neutral to Friendly

• Run Mana-Tombs on Normal
• Turn in Oshu’gun Crystal Fragment to Gezhe at Aeris Landing
• Turn in Pair of Ivory Tusks to Shadrek at Aeris Landing

Friendly to Honored

• Run Mana-Tombs on Normal
• Turn in Obsidian Warbeads to Gezhe at Aeris Landing
• Turn in Zaxxis Insignia to Nether-Stalker Khay’ji at Area 52

HonoredExalted

• Run Mana-Tombs on Heroic
• Complete all quests
• Turn in Obsidian Warbeads to Gezhe at Aeris Landing
• Turn in Zaxxis Insignia to Nether-Stalker Khay’ji at Area 52

Notes:
Players simultaneously working on gaining reputation with The Mag’har or the Kurenai and the Consortium may want to focus on killing Boulderfist and Warmaul ogres for Mag’har or Kurenai reputation in Nagrand while turning in  Obsidian Warbeads to the Consortium for efficiency. The caveat here is that the drop rate on  Obsidian Warbeads is roughly 33%, while it is 50% for  Zaxxis Insignias. If the character is level 70 and the player has no concern for Mag’har/Kurenai reputation, then grinding insignias is most efficient.

Above you can see the how path that will help you gain reputation with The Consortium faction.
