Gelkis or Magram: Which to Pick in WoW: Forever?

When you reach Desolace around level 35 in World of Warcraft: Forever, you have the option to side with one of two rival clans: the Gelkis or the Magram. As you gain reputation with one, you lose it with the other, so you will have to choose carefully.

Regardless of which faction you choose, you will be able to acquire all 12 crafting recipes (2 per crafting profession); however, the requirements are different for each faction, so it will be easier to get the recipes you are after if you pick the right side.

Enchanters, Leatherworkers, and Tailors

Players with one of these three professions will probably want to side with the Gelkis clan.

For the Gelkis, these recipes require Honored to purchase for 15x Carved Centaur Totem, and one recipe for each profession can be obtained from a quest which only requires Friendly reputation.
If you choose the Magram, the only way to get these recipes is to reach Exalted and buy them for 60x Carved Centaur Totem.

Enchanting	Leatherworking	Tailoring
Formula: Enchant Bracer - Lesser Agility	Pattern: Centaur Hoofwarmers	Pattern: Silk Reagent Bag
Formula: Enchant Bracer - Lesser Healing Power	Pattern: Mystic Thick Armor Kit	Pattern: Stormcloth Gloves

Alchemists, Blacksmiths, and Engineers

The Magram clan is a better option if you have one of these three professions.

For the Magram, these recipes require Honored to purchase for 15x Carved Centaur Totem, and one recipe for each profession can be obtained from a quest which only requires Friendly reputation.
If you choose the Gelkis, the only way to get these recipes is to reach Exalted and buy them for 60x Carved Centaur Totem.

Alchemy	Blacksmithing	Engineering
Recipe: Greater Spellblasting Potion	Plans: Iron Morningstar	Schematic: Hoof-Shaped Foot Pedal
Recipe: Greater Frenzy Potion	Plans: Hard Gold Gauntlet	Schematic: Centaur Banner Deployment Device

Quest Rewards

The other major difference between the two clans is the reward from the final quest in their respective quest chains. Both give a choice between various Rare weapons and off-hands, and the best option will depend on your class and current gear.

Gelkis Final Quest Reward

Generally, only melee classes will be excited by the Gelkis options, especially as the off-hand lacks any spellpower for casters.
