Rogues from level 24: ask your class trainer in a capital "May I have it, please?" for the Elegant Letter, and read it. The path up to the manor starts in the hills north of Durnholde Keep.

Everyone, not only rogues: in Classic every Syndicate human gave Ravenholdt 5 reputation up to the end of Honored (11,999 of 12,000) and not one point more, so 0 to there is 4,200 kills (3,600 after a rogue's quests and emblems). This step ticks at Honored; keep killing until the bar stops moving, then go on to the junkboxes. The highest Syndicate are in the north-west of the Alterac Mountains, Syndicate Assassins and Enforcers (level 38–40), with Syndicate Sentries (36–37) nearer the middle. At 60 all Syndicate are grey, and in Classic grey kills gave about a fifth: farm them before 48 if you can. Legacy Diplomat adds up to 10%.

• Accept Junkboxes Needed from FahradOptional
• Turn in Junkboxes Needed at FahradOptionalFahrad: 50 per five boxes
• Reach Exalted with Ravenholdt

From the top of Honored to Exalted is 21,001 reputation, and Junkboxes Needed is the only way: Fahrad pays 50 and a Dusksteel Throwing Knife for every five Heavy Junkboxes (Classic Era paid 75), 421 turn-ins and 2,105 boxes. Boxes count at any standing, so take the cheap kills to their cap first. Any class can hand them in. Rogues get them by picking the pockets of humanoids around level 50 and up: Lower Blackrock Spire and Blackrock Depths are the classic spots, pick every pocket, reset and go again. The boxes do not bind, so everyone else buys them from rogues or at the auction house. Hand them in unopened; an opened box you empty vanishes, so leave one item in it.
