Currently this title does not go account wide. I assume because it is not directly linked to an achievement.

4	By luciusfunk on 21 Jan 2013 (Patch 5.1.0A ) Thank you for this comment about the title not being account wide. I was looking at my titles on my non-main characters and I couldn't find this title. I came here looking to see if it had perhaps been removed from the game with Mists of Pandaria. Good to know it's still in the game if not an account wide title.

Everybody seems more interested in telling you whether or not this title still exists which is fine, but who sells/grants it?

Completing this quest : A Magnanimous Benefactor given by Anchorite Kairthos will award the character the title of the Shattered Sun. Other characters on the account can only receive the title by completing the quest as well.
The quest is only available at Exalted.

Serioulsly, I've been exalted for like 2 years and I just now found out about this title! It's so awsome, still obtainable in 4.2

1	By SublimeChaos on 31 Mar 2014 (Patch 5.4.7 ) Same here! Been exalted since it was current content, and never knew of the title, but 1,000g hardly seems worth it for a character-specific title anymore, after I spent all that time grinding for the Insane. D:

Confirmed that this can be obtained in patch 5.1.0

The title ( 5.1.0) is NOT BoA, so choose wisely before you start grinding on your toons. The title requires 1,000 gold and exalted with the Shattered Sun faction.

Additionally, some tips:

If you are grinding for "Ambassador ______________", this is the perfect place to do so. Equip one of your home cities, and start running. Every normal run will net you around 2-3k rep for your home city and rouhgly 1-1.75k rep for the Shattered Sun.
A heroic run will net 3k each or so.

In no time, you'll be exalted with the Shattered Sun and exalted with some home factions as well.

I do a full sweep, and kill everything, and loot everything. Total loot is around 100 gold, plus 40-100 netherweave cloth. Overall, 23 bag slots required per run on average.

Additionally, if you receive the rare BoP pet from the Kael'Thas Sunstrider, and learn it, and then decide to sell it, here's a tip. It goes for 10,000 + on the BMAH. I sold my first for 80.00, since I was an idiot. My second went for 2560 gold. Nice profit.

In addition, when running heroic, you receive a chance to win a mount

At level 85 you pull the rep levels I mentioned. At 90, it is slightly nerfed, but that is to be expected. I think this (on normal) should be soloable by a level 80 or less, and heroic by a level 83-84 in good gear.

Happy hunting

I think this is the coolest Burning crusade title you can get. You can find the quest at the top of the tower in the isle of Quel'Danas. You have to be exalted with the shattered sun before the quest is available.

However, if you pay us money, on top of the countless hours you have spent we'd be happy to add some extra words at the end of your name. We'll even throw in a little bit of rep, even though you've reached the most you can with us. That's cool right?

I remember begging my dad back in BC to give me the 1k gold, after a bit of Primal Might farming he finally let me get it. I still where this title to this day on my old lock.

By x5992 on 27 Jun 2011 (Patch 4.1.0 Cataclysm

I have this title on my priest. Normally I'd say 1000 gold for a title seems a bit much. However at the time when everyone was on the Isle doing dailies it didn't take long to get. I checked in on Quel'Danas post Cata, no one goes there anymore making the title and tabard a bit unique.

By Trackstar1990 on 06 Mar 2011 (Patch 4.0.3 Cataclysm

You get a little over 2000 rep from the dailies available at the isle, i think 12 in all. You get a little over 2000 rep from herioc magister's terrace, around 1500 in normal. Very easy title to get seeing how you can faceroll heroic and normal in about 15-20mins.

I can confirm this title is still available as of patch 5.3 12/06/2012 (English date)

To get exalted I just complete each daily and ran Magisters Terrace each day, it only took about 5 days. Once exalted speak to Magnanimous Benefactor at Sun's Reach and complete the 1000g quest and the title is yours. I had no issue/bug with the title showing so it looks like they resolved that.

Good luck

0	By wolphie on 04 Jul 2013 (Patch 5.4.0 ) Got exalted and the title in the same day... Magisters' Terrace, even on normal level, gives you around 1.8 - 1.9 k of rep per round. With the proper breaks due to limited numbers of dungeons / hour, it is possible to get exalted in one single day. All runs and useless items gave me about 1.5k, many greens etc for transmog, 3 Phoenix Hatchlings... Wish you lots of patience if you want to do it this way... getting bored is the least of the side effects. I want to confirm that there was no bug in displaying the title immediately after handing in the quest.
1	By rinkworks on 12 Jun 2014 (Patch 6.0.1 ) With the instances per hour limit increased from 5 to 10, power-grinding rep through Magisters' Terrace should be even quicker now.

Well, got exalted with the Shattered Sun Offensive, all hyped ''I'm gonna have this title as soon as I hit exalted"... Unfortunately not. But I hit exalted by doing the dailies then powering through Magisters Terrace (Fastest run: 4 Minutes 30 seconds). I already had the mount and pet before this, having farmed it on my alt in Cata. But this title is beautiful, and well worth the 1000g. I don't believe I have ever seen anyone (on my server at least) with this title. Happy hunting in getting yours!

By LLYNCES on 26 Oct 2012 (Patch 5.0.5b Mists of Pandaria

Just finished getting my title, companion (Phoenix hatchling) and Tabard (best looking tabard in the game in my opinion)

Just run Magisters terrace normal over and over, you'll need to run it about......50 or so times before you hit exalted with each run taking you about 5-8 minutes if you are level 90 and rush through it. Run the Heroic version when you can but it locks you out so you can only do it once per day, which is why you'll be forced to rep grind through the normal version. You will get the phoenix hatchling from Keal'thalas eventually so be sure to loot him.

The mount only drops on heroic sadly so chances are you won't get it during the rep grind unless you are lucky. Ignore the daily's they give little rep in comparision to just blowing through the dungeon.

The title is not BoA, after you hit exalted you'll be able to get the quest than donate 1,000 gold for it. Not sure why it's not BoA but it makes the title....more valuable to get I guess as you'll be one of the few out there who has it. I'd like for it to be BoA as well.....maybe in the future it will be.

It took me about 4-5 hours straight of grinding. You can only run 5 instances every hour sadly so it might take you a day or two if you dedicate all your time to it. It is worth it though as you get the title, companion and tabard and also access to a nice looking transmoggable shield at the rep vendor and a chance for the mount. Good luck : )

By Talboth on 28 Oct 2012 (Patch 5.0.5b Mists of Pandaria

This is the favorite of all my titles and one of the best looking tabards as well. I see very few people showing this title in and around the main cities so it is definitely one to have if you want to stand out in a crowd.

The grind is painless in most cases as most people have either long gone or completely forgotten about this title and only visit the area to farm Sunwell or Magister's Terrace.

By Angaurwen on 04 Apr 2015 (Patch 6.1.2 Warlords of Draenor

Just sharing in case this happens to anyone else.

I went and bought this for my 2nd toon and it did not appear in my list of titles, neither did I get the line in chat "you have earned such and such a title".
It appeared after relogging (to check that my 1st toon still had it (which she does, if it matters)).

So wonderful to meet you all, I earned this Achievement and Title awhile ago, however I know for a fact that it is still obtainable. You have to go and do all of the Daily Shattered Sun Offensive Quests. Trust me, it's worth the effort and the 1000 gold you have to donate to Anchorite Kairthos at the end of your Reputation Gain.
