e Maruuk Centaur are one of four factions currently available in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Thanks to the reworked Renown system, you can do quests with the Maruuk Centaurs while working on other factions you'll encounter in the game. Best of all, there's nothing mandatory hidden behind the rep grind. While epic-level gear can be purchased with enough Renown, there's nothing that's mandatory to progress through endgame content. You can work on your Renown at your own leisure.
Who Are The Maruuk Centaur?
Located in the Ohn’ahran Plains, the Maruuk Centaur tribe.
They are made up of several centaur clans that inhabit the zone and share the same culture. Originally guided by The Wild God of the Wind Ohn'ara, these centaurs maintain peace among themselves and the dragons of the Dragon Isles.

Best Way To Get Maruuk Centaur Reputation / Renown
The most basic way to gain Renown with the Maruuk Centaur is by simply playing the game. Many tasks offer renown including:
- Weekly and Bi-Weekly World Quests
- Grand Hunt Events
- Completing all side quest lines in the Ohn'ahran Plains
You'll earn reputation with Maruuk Centaur during all of these activities and level up your Renown with them. Keep in mind that as things stand in Dragonflight, you're not meant to grind out 25 levels of Renown in a short time. There are ways you can help expedite the process, such as playing a Human for their reputation bonus, taking advantage of the Darkmoon Faire reputation buff, or playing on alts that benefit from your main character unlocking their 100% or 200% reputation gain.
Still, the pacing for Renown gain is set at a reasonable rate to take several weeks (at minimum) to max your reputation with the Maruuk Centaur. Thankfully, there aren't any items you absolutely need right now to prepare for Season 1 of Dragonflight. So go at your own pace and enjoy your adventures in the newest World of Warcraft expansion!
