The title reward is perfect for this achievement! The hardest part here is going to be gaining Exalted reputation with the Steamwheedle Cartel (Everlook, Ratchet, Booty Bay, and Gadgetzan) while maintaining your Honored status with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. Since you only need to become Honored with the Bloodsails, I would start with them. No matter what you do, you will start out Hated with the Bloodsails. Killing the Bruisers at Booty Bay will give you rep with them, but will also decrease your rep with the Steamwheedle Cartel. Booty Bay Bruisers and Elites will reward you with 25 rep, and Blackwater Deckhands will give 5 rep. Take caution while farming these guys as it’s easy to become overwhelmed by Bruisers spawning. They use nets a lot! They also use guns that can throw you back. Because of the quickness of their shots, this can cause you to constantly be thrown back and unable to attack. This can be frustrating, but try to stay patient! Once you gain Friendly with the Bloodsails, you can complete the quest to get the "Avast Ye Admiral" achievement! Next, I would move on to the Goblin city rep. Remember that you need to keep your Bloodsail rep, so do not turn in cloth to the traitor. While completing quests in each city will give you rep, it’s possible to also gain rep with all the cities at the same time. This is much more time-efficient. Run Dire Maul North and collect the Gordok Shackle Key from trash mobs. Using the key to set Knot Thimblejack free will give you 350 reputation with all the cities. The goblin also has a quest, "The Gordok Ogre Suit," which asks you to bring him 4 Bolts of Runecloth, 8 Rugged Leather, 2 Rune Threads, and an Ogre Tannin. The Tannin is inside a basket within Dire Maul North and only one person in the group can pick it up. It’s located on the balcony near Guard Slip’kik. If you do plan on completing this quest, be sure you have the materials on hand and turn them in before you set him free. You’ll get 250 reputation the first time you complete it and 75 thereafter. Another way to gain reputation is to simply kill pirates. The best place to farm them is in Tanaris. If you're looking for the most time-efficient method, I would go with killing the pirates in Tanaris. Gaining Exalted status with the Darkmoon Faire is also pretty time-consuming. You can complete turn-in quests until partway through Friendly. All of these can be found at the fair and are easy enough if you're a higher level. After that, the fastest and most time-efficient way to gain rep would be through turning in Darkmoon Faire decks. Scribes can create many low-level decks, and in particular, the Rogues Deck. That deck only requires you for the Ace, Two, and Three. Another plus to this is that the deck summons a Darkmoon Fortune Teller that you can turn the deck in with. Since the Faire only comes once a month, this definitely helps! However, it only rewards you with 25 reputation, so you’ll need roughly 1400 decks to gain Exalted from Friendly. The Burning Crusade and Northrend decks reward 350 reputation but can be more costly. Ravenholdt is located in the Alterac Mountains. These guys are a Rogue faction and only offer quests to Rogues. You begin at 0/3k Neutral with them, however, if you kill any Ravenholdt NPCs before raising your rep at all, you will become Unfriendly and unable to raise your rep. Killing Syndicate NPCs will give you 5 rep. You can also complete the Syndicate Emblems quest till you hit Friendly if you're a Rogue. You’ll need around 10 Syndicate Emblems that can be pickpocketed from Syndicate mobs. If you're not a Rogue, you can also turn in 5 Heavy Junkboxes. It's a better option to kill Syndicates if you're not a Rogue. I can confirm that it's possible to kill the Syndicate mobs till at least halfway through Honored. While it can be tedious to kill these guys, there are a good amount of them in Alterac Mountains around (39, 18) at Strahnbrad (61, 43) and a few camps between those two spots.
