I totally did and lost out on the bonus rep I could have gotten while doing my world quests for the past couple days. Don't be me.

Shit I didn't know it gave rep bonus too
They last for two hours and I think they persist through death as well (but don't quote me on that, I try to avoid dying).
Don't be like me. Went all the way to the undercity to get the buff. Flew back to highmountain to begin leveling and immediately died by falling through the elevator.
don't elevator
Do not elevate her.
Apper you can reapply the buff as needed.
They don't, I got ganked and lost it. Not that it matters much, but still.
Bad part is the exp buff is for killing mobs only.
same with rep?
No. rep buff applies to everything.
I mean, sure it would be nice to apply to quests to, but it's not nothing. 90% of most your leveling is killing mobs.
Can't grind exp off Legion mobs like you could earlier expacs; you gotta turn in quests now for chunks of exp. Watch your exp levels while you're questing and farming kills, then compare it to a quest turn in.
I agree it isn't much, but it's still better than nothing.
It takes time to get the buff--could easily be a net loss
So where do I get the buff?
Right below the wicker man on the ground.
!remindme 5 hours
Note: you can get the buff without the quest. simply click the fire in front of the Wickerman.
If I'd remembered to do this yesterday or today before doing my WQs I wouldn't be 100 rep short of exalted with High Mountain right now =(
!remindme 3 hours
That and remembering my damn XP potions from the WoD garrison for my alts. Dammit....

Worked just fine imo.
!remindme 10 hours
Maybe you should've seen my post the other day and you wouldn't have forgot!
Side note, you can reapply the buff. I dunno if it always works that way but I took the quest to light the wickerman and touch the ashes, did so, and hearthed back to suramar. Kept the quest complete but not turned in. When I lost the buff to dying, ported to Undercity, lit the wickerman again, touched ashes again... Totally doable to continuously use the buff.
Edit: as pointed out below, even after the quest is handed in you can continue to reapply the buff! Don't let death stop you from that sweet, sweet rep gain.
You can click the ashes to reapply the buff even after completing the quest.
you can get the buff as often as you want, and you don't even have to accept the quest.
