Insane In the Membrane (The Insane)
Getting the Insane title is no walk in the park and it will take hours of farming in order to accomplish. In this guide I'll show you the path I used to get the achievement and give you a rough idea of how long it will take you. The first faction I recommend grinding is the Ravenholdt, mine as well get the easiest one of out the way first. For the Ravenholdt faction you will want to head over to Hillsbrad Foothills.
Ravenholdt Faction
Once you're in Hillsbrad Foothills you will want to head to the northeastern portion of the zone to Durnholde Keep. Here you will want to kill the Syndicate for Ravenholdt reputation. If you need to vendor there is a vendor right inside the keep itself. On the upper level near Tog'thar. Right below the K in "Keep".
Neutral to 11299/12000 Honored
Reputation Per Kill: 5
Reputation Per Hour: 4500
Amount of Kills Required: 4400
Hours It Took: 4 hours and 45 minutes
Honored to Exalted
In order to raise your reputation from Honored to Exalted with Ravenholdt you will need to farm Heavy Junkboxes from any 55-60 level mobs. My favorite spot to farm them is in Tyr's Hand. Sadly, you will need roughly 1400 Lockboxes. You can usually get 20-25 an hour here so you'll be spending a lot of time here.
If you'd like to see the path I use when farming lockboxes click on the video below.

Bloodsail Reputation
The second reputation you will want to raise is your Bloodsail Reputation. To raise your Bloodsail Reputation you will need to kill guards and NPCs in Booty Bay. This is the most dangerous of the 8 Reputations that you need to raise. While you're doing this chances are some players will help the guards and start attacking you, luckily now you can kill them without caring about the guards!
If you have any friends that want to grind out the Bloodsail Reputation bring them along it will speed it up a lot! Also one thing to keep in mind while raising this reputation is don't try and round up a lot of guards at once. Not only will they net you, not allowing you to run away they will start shooting you once you get about 10 yards away. When they shoot you, they will knock you back, making it impossible to get back into melee range with them.
Below I've included a video of the path I use to run around Booty Bay. Another thing to keep in mind is when you kill an NPC they will cause two guards to spawn. When you kill a player one guard will spawn.

Reputation per kill (NPC): 5
Reputation per kill (Guard): 25
Reputation per Hour Solo: 3125
Hours It Will Take: Depending on your reputation with Bloodsail when you started, close to 4-8
Steamweedle Cartel
After you nuke your rating with all of the Neutral Goblin Cities, you will need to raise it all back up. There are 3 great places to raise your reputation with the Goblins. The best option to raise your reputation and make money at the same time is in Venture Bay (Grizzly Hills). If you're just going for reputation then kill the Goblins outside of Ratchet, if you want a steady flow of both money and rep, kill the goblins in Tanaris. In southwestern Grizzly Hills you'll have Venture Bay. Killing the Venture Co here will award you with reputation for all the Neutral Goblin cities.
Of course since you are in Grizzly Hills and in an area where both factions how dailies, it won't be 100% safe grinding here. Also this is one of the rare times where bringing friends won't speed anything up since then you will have to wait for respawns. Luckily the Venture Co here drop loot, making the grind more enjoyable.
Additional Note: The venture co on the boat are the only ones that will give you reputation. If you need help locating this boat, watch me video.

Reputation Per Kill:

3(2) Everlook
Reputation Per Hour: 1000 - 1500 Depending on if people interfere.
Shen'dralar
The final reputation that you will be grinding is the Shen'dralar reputation. The Shen'dralar reputation's main hub is located in Dire Maul. In order to raise your reputation with the Shen'dralar you will need to collect Librams and other materials and do turn in quests. The 3 Librams that you can turn in for reputation are Libram of Focus, Protection and Rapidity.
These 3 Librams drop commonly off of bosses in Dire Maul. The three easiest bosses to farm are in western Diremaul, it will only take roughly 5minutes to kill all 3. Below is a video of me killing the 3 bosses for the Librams.

If you don't have a portable MOLL-E mailbox I recommend you farm a lot of the "extra" materials, such as Large Brilliant Shards, Pristine Black Diamonds, Skins of Shadow, Blood of Heroes and Frayed Abomination Stitching. If you have all of this crap on you when you get a Libram you can go turn it in right away. Since they are unique you can't carry more then one of the same kind around at the same time.
If you're curious as to where you can find the extra items... I've made a list below of all of the items and where you can find them.
Pristine Black Diamond - Random mob drop from instances, buy them on AH or farm Scholo/Strath
Skins of Shadow - Mobs in Rattlegore's Room and mobs in Lady Illucia Barov's room
Frayed Abomination Stitching - They drop off all the abominations right before Baron Rivendare
Large Brilliant Shards - Disenchanting Blues, or the Auction House
Blood of Heroes - Western and Eastern Plaguelands, ground spawns
Libram of Focus
x1 Pristine Black Diamond
x4 Large Brilliant Shards
x2 Skin of Shadow
Libram of Rapidity
x1 Pristine Black Diamond
x2 Large Brilliant Shards
x2 Blood of Heroes
Libram of Protection
x1 Pristine Black Diamond
x2 Large Brilliant Shards
x1 Frayed Abomination Stitching
Darkmoon Faire
The Darkmoon Faire reputation is one of the easier reputations to raise for the Insane in the Membrane achievement. In order to raise your Darkmoon Faire reputation you will need to collect certain items that are either drops or crafted. For raising your reputation from Neutral to 2000/6000 Friendly the easiest way will be by collecting the following items:
Thorium Widget - Crafted by Engineers
x3 Thorium Bars
x1 Runecloth
Evil Bat Eye - Farmed in Zul'Gurub/Karazhan/Eastern Plaguelands. To see a video of me farming this click here.
Glowing Scorpid Blood - Farmed in Silithus. To see a video of me farming this click here.
After you raise your reputation to quarter way through friendly you will need to buy and turn in decks in order to raise your reputation further. The easiest decks and cheapest decks you will be able to get are the level 60 ones, which will give you the same amount of reputation as a level 80 one.
Each of the level 60 decks will require you to collect each of the cards and of course the ace, which has a chance to drop from a boss. Below I've compiled a list of all of the bosses that are able to drop an Ace from level 60 instances.
Ace of Beasts - The Beast in UBRS
Ace of Portals - Darkmaster Gandling in Scholomance
Ace of Warlords - King Gordok in Dire Maul North
Ace of Elementals - Lord Incendius BRD or other world "boss" elementals
The other pieces of each deck you can find most commonly from mobs in level 60 instances. Your best bet would be to farm gold and buy the cards that you need off of the auction house, instead of directly farming for the card yourself
