The Undying Army – Faction Overview, Rewards, and Reputation Guide
The Undying Army is a neutral faction in Shadowlands that players can earn reputation with to unlock the ability to purchase rewards. Based in Maldraxxus, The Undying Army is first encountered by players while leveling through the zone. Because The Undying Army has the strongest ties with the Necrolord Covenant, Necrolord players are able to purchase Covenant-exclusive rewards once they reach Exalted reputation.

Undying Army Paragon Caches – Supplies of the Undying Army
Once you reach Exalted reputation with the Undying Army, all Undying Army reputation gains will begin going towards earning Undying Army Paragon Caches. For every 10,000 reputation you earn with the Undying Army, you’ll be rewarded with Supplies of the Undying Army. Opening this item will reward you with gold and anima, and has a chance to drop the Micromancer pet and the Colossal Slaughterclaw mount.
How to Earn Undying Army Reputation
