MOP Reputation & Faction Guide

I've spent the last few days getting my head around all the different factions in MOP, all the dailies available and the rewards from the grinds. I thought I'd put together a rough guide on what the factions are, what you get from each of them, where to access the dailies and what you need to do to gain access to the dailies.

If you have anything to add, please let me know.

I haven't mentioned it for each faction, but also note that all the dailies give VP and Lesser Charm of Good Fortune which you want to be collecting. Finally before we get started, once reaching level 90, head to the lower level of the outdoor tiers of your factions capital city in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. You'll find quartermasters and other folk that can help you find your way.

The Lorewalkers

Who: The Lorewalkers are a pandaren faction bent on exploring the world, finding things and relics to fill out libraries. They are caretakers of the mysteries of Pandaria, and they roam the continent hoping to learn from their history.
Where: Quartermaster is Tan Shin Tiao located at the Seat of Knowledge in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
How: You gain rep with The Lorewalkers by exploring the world, finding things and relics across Pandaria. You can gain exalted with the Lorewalkers in just over an hour, and it doesn't involve killing any mobs. The easiest way to do this is to follow this video guide on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3KzbWY4zFk
Reward:  You are able to purchase Disc of the Red Flying Cloud for 600 gold. You will also complete 9 achievements in your travels.

Golden Lotus

Who: The Golden Lotus is a faction whose main purpose is trying to deal with the Mogu threat that has arisen. They are looking for information on why the threat has arisen at all, and what they can do to reslove it once and for all.
It is important to note that you must be revered with this faction before you are able to begin the rep grind for The Shado-pan and The August Celestials.
Where: You will first run into the faction after you have reached level 87 and travelled through Kun-Lai Summit. Once level 90 you will be able to head to the quest hub at The Golden Pagola in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
How: The only way to advance is through doing the dailies.
Once reaching friendly from the dailies you will be sent to Whitepetal Lake and Mistfall Village, and upon reaching honored you will be sent out even further west for more quests. Each day check it at The Golden Pagola to start the daily grind. In my experience these quests can be completed quite quickly, although currently a few people are experiencing a bug at Whitepetal Lake and are unable to locate He Softfoot to being the dailies there. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Reward:  Becoming revered allows you to start gaining rep with The Shado-Pan and The August Celestials. You also gain access to some nice looking VP gear available from the quartermaster.
When and if you eventually hit exalted, you will also be rewarded with access to the quest that leads you to face off against Zhao-Jin the Bloodletter on the quest The Final Power. You will then get to choose your reward, a 489 epic neck piece - there are 5 to choose from.
At honored there is a CC trinket with fun visual effects Mogu Rune of Paralysis and armor available for JP.
At revered there are chests, rings and shoulders in exchange for VP.
At exalted there are three types of mounts available for 3000 gold each.
Reins of the Azure Riding Crane
Reins of the Regal Riding Crane
Reins of the Golden Riding Crane

The Klaxxi

Who:  The Klaxxi are sworn to protect the ideals of the Mantid Empire, even at the cost of killing their ruler.
Where:  The Klaxxi are located in Dread Wastes at Klaxxi'vess.
How: Most players will probably come into contact with this faction during questing (89-90).
There are dailies and a repeatable quest. I think it is important to note that currently the drop rate for the repeatable quest is quite low (1 in 15-20 mobs).
Reward: At honored, players can purchase  Restorative Amber and can also purchase gear and blacksmithing recipes in exchange for JP.
At revered you can purchase ilvl 489 neck, pants, belts and  Amber Sledge of Klaxxi'vess.
At exalted there are a few vanity themed items. There is a tabard, and a mount.  Reins of the Amber Scorpion is similar to the Horde style scorpion mount. There are also 463 weapons available, and I suggest checking them out for transmog potential.

Order of the Cloud Serpent

Who: If you want to be able to ride any of the fancy new cloud serpent mounts in MoP, you'll need to get exalted with this faction.
Where: Head to the Arboretum in The Jade Forest and speak to Elder Anli the Serpent Master.
How: After finishing the intial chain you will be honored (or very close) and you will have picked up a cloud serpent of your very own to raise. The dailies reward ~1100 rep per quest, so it is a relatively easy grind, and can be quite fun. Once completing the initial dailies you can collect Onyx Eggs on Windward Isle (where you will have been sent to complete the dailies). You can collect these eggs and turn them in for ~550 rep per egg. That's roughly 60 eggs to reach exalted straight away. Depending on your competition this can take between 1 and 4 hours to achieve.
Upon reaching exalted you will still have to learn how to fly your cloud serpent through a tutorial quest and a jaunt around the area. You will only learn Cloud Serpent Riding once you have completed these quests.
Reward: You get to keep your hatchling, you can purchase other hatchlings (there are 3 colours) and you learn Cloud Serpent Riding. There are mounts, and this is where Jewelcrafters can pick up the recipes for their mounts.
There are also VPs rewarded for completing the dailies.

The Anglers

Who:  The Anglers are fisherman who are, surprise surprise, all about fishing. They have numerous daily quests that send you out into the world to fish.
Where: The Anglers are found in three locations.
Anglers Wharf, on the south eastern coast of Krasarang Wilds. This settlement houses the quartermaster, Nat Pagle, and all known daily quest givers.
Sri-La Village on the north-west coast of The Jade Forest (this settlement does not have a quartermaster or quest givers)
Soggy's Gamble on the south coast of the Dreasd Wastes. There is a sequence of regular (non-daily) quests that can be found here once you have completed the initial Klaxxi quests in the zone.
How:  Dailies and quests, as above.
Reward: Completing all the Anglers Wharf dailies (at least once) awards the achievement "Locking Down the Docks". Becoming exalted also rewards you with an achievement.
Friendly: 2 cooking recipes
Honored: Pandaren Fishing Pole and Tiny Goldfish (battlepet).
Revered: Anglers Fishing Raft (raft across water, 10 minute duration). Requires 525 fishing and costs 1000 gold and some other fishing goodies.
Exalted: Reins of the Azure Water Strider for 5000 gold, and the Anglers tabard for 10g.

The Shado-Pan

Who: The Shado-Pan are different from the other pandaren clans. They are darker and sinister with a ninja like culture dedicated to protect Pandaria. The Shado-Pan are in a timeless struggle with the Sha.
Where: The daily hub is located in western Townlong Steppes.
How: Most of the quests in Townlong Steppes reward reputation with the Shado-Pan, including all of the dailies at the Shado-Pan Garrison at level 90. You must be revered with Golden Lotus to unlock the quest hub in western Townlong Steppes. Daily quests are selected from three sets of quest hubs, which all give +250 rep, except for the final quest which is +350 rep. At each hub you gain a special buff as well as a choice of 3 companions that will help DPS. When first starting out, players can "recruit" more companions by defeating them in combat.
Reward: At honored there is Shado-Pan Dragon Gun for JP. At revered there are weapon enchant recipes, as well as epic helms, trinkets and capes for most classes/specs. At exalted there are fun vanity rewards: Replica Shado-Pan Helmet, Reins of the Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger, Reins of the Green Shado-Pan Riding Tiger & Reins of the Red Shado-Pan Riding Tiger.

The August Celestials

Who: They are four creatures that watch over Pandaria and protect the temples from the Sha. Niuzao - The Black Ox, Chi-Ji - The Red Cran, Xuen - The White Tiger, Yu'lon - The Jade Serpent. The four temples are dedicated to August Celestials and each of them houses the followers and monks dedicated to serve them.
Where: Niuzao - Townlong Steppes. Chi-Ji - Krasarang Wilds. Xuen - Kun-Lai Summit. Yu'lon - Jade Forest.
How: One of the four temples will offer daily quests each day.
Reward: There are lots of available rewards.
Honored - JP chest, back and legs, ilvl 450.
Revered - Bracer enchantment recipes, VP feet, hands, wrists.
Exalted - Tabard, Tailoring pattern (bag) and Reins of the Thundering August Cloud Serpent for 10,000 gold.

I  hope this guide helps. Please leave some feedback if you have anything to add. Bump if you think it's worthy.

This is the first guide I've ever written so it's a little rough around the edges. I hope some of the fresh 90s and people approaching 90 may find it helpful.
