You can gain or lose favor, otherwise known as reputation, with many of the several different factions in Azeroth. Higher reputation gives access to special rewards or new quests to accomplish. You can increase reputations using several methods, including:

Reputation levels and points[]

Reputation-Alliance

It is possible to get exalted with nearly everyone. Be it on Alliance...

Reputation-Horde

...or Horde

Reputation is very similar to experience. Reputation is divided into a number of different levels for which players must earn reputation points to progress through. Higher reputation levels generally require more points than the previous level to progress. The exception is hated, which spans a very large number of reputation points. Reputation points, just like experience points, are gained through quests and killing various mobs. Unlike experience, it is possible to lose reputation points with some factions, either by killing members of the faction or by assisting rival factions. For rival factions, gaining reputation with one will normally decrease reputation with the other, but at a greater rate. For instance, if you kill a Booty Bay Bruiser, you will gain 25 points of reputation with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, but lose 125 reputation with Booty Bay. Currently there are 4 of these rival-faction pairs: Aldor (Draenei) vs. Scryers (Blood Elves), Steamwheedle Cartel (Goblins) vs. Bloodsail Buccaneers (pirates), Ravenholdt (rogues) vs. Syndicate (Thugs), and The Oracles (Gorlocs) vs. Frenzyheart Tribe (Wolvar).

Various quests and faction-specific rewards are available across the levels, but the player must be able to interact with the faction NPCs to gain access to these rewards. An NPC's faction is shown under their name. This usually requires Neutral or better standing.

NOTE: All NPCs with whom you have Friendly or higher reputation will appear green in game. The level colors above are only used in Wowpedia and in the Armory.

Hated[]

The reputation level Rep hated icon 18x18 Hated is the lowest reputation level possible, a level below Hostile. Any player who comes close to anyone of this faction will be attacked on sight.

Players start off at Hated with the Brood of Nozdormu, Netherwing, Sons of Hodir, Therazane and Syndicate factions, having 0/36000 reputation with these factions, the lowest reputation possible in the game.

While not shown in the character window, the output of API UnitReaction suggests that Horde players have a Hated reputation with Alliance factions and vice-versa.

Hostile[]

The reputation level Rep hostile icon 18x18 Hostile is just below Unfriendly and above Hated. This level spans 3000 reputation points. NPCs belonging to factions with which a player is Hostile will themselves act hostile towards that player.

Unfriendly[]

The reputation level Rep unfriendly icon 18x18 Unfriendly just below and above .

Unfriendly NPCs will not interact, talk, buy, sell or trade with you. When you click on unfriendly mobs or NPCs, their name and highlight will be orange. Unfriendly creatures will not generally attack unless attacked. Opening a chest or healing other players who are in combat may provoke nearby unfriendly NPCs to attack.

The core race death knights, upon entering the city (Stormwind City or Orgrimmar), will have all the NPCs show their displeasure and call for a rope, spit or throw rotten food at that player.[1][2]

Neutral[]

The reputation level Rep neutral icon 18x18 Neutral is just below Friendly and above Unfriendly.

When you click on Neutral NPCs, their name and highlight will be yellow. Neutral NPCs will not attack you unless attacked first. Reputation with the Steamwheedle Cartel starts at Neutral, so most goblin NPCs encountered outside Horde territory are neutral to most newer players.

Friendly[]

The reputation level Rep friendly icon 18x18 Friendly is just below Honored and above Neutral.

When you click on friendly NPCs, their name and highlight will be green. You cannot attack creatures who you are friendly with (or have a higher level of reputation with) unless you specifically toggle "At War" on the item for said creatures' faction in the reputation pane. Being Friendly with a faction will grant you a 5% discount on items they sell. Certain factions in Northrend sell tabards for players who become friendly. These allow the player to gain reputation for that faction while running non-raid instances at level 80.

Honored[]

The reputation level Rep honored icon 18x18 Honored is just below Revered and above Friendly.

With this reputation level, you will get a 10% discount on items.

Revered[]

The reputation level Rep revered icon 18x18 Revered is just below Exalted and above Honored.

With this reputation level, you will get a 15% discount on items.

Exalted[]

The reputation level Rep exalted icon 18x18 Exalted is the highest reputation level possible, just above Revered.

With this reputation level and additional restrictions (see Purchasing other mounts), you can purchase and train to ride mounts of another race. It also gives a 20% discount on items. Certain factions sell tabards for players who become exalted.

Gaining reputation with a Faction City you are already exalted with will cause 25% of the reputation to "bleed over" to your next-highest city reputation. This does not happen when you gain reputation with all cities at once (ie, "Horde +250")- in this case, the reputation that would go to already-exalted cities is simply lost.

Individuals[]

Introduced with Mists of Pandaria, some NPCs have their own reputation standing that uses a new set of reputation levels. Some NPC factions, such as Wrathion, may use a different set of names but still work the same way. Unlike the standard reputation levels, the amount of reputation required for each level remains the same up to the last one.

The individuals reputation levels are as follows:

Level Equivalent Amount
Stranger Neutral 8,400
Pal Neutral 8,400
Buddy Friendly 8,400
Friend Honored 8,400
Good Friend Revered 8,400
Best/True Friend Exalted 0

Paragon[]

Main article: Paragon reputation

Paragon is an additional reputation level introduced in Legion. After reaching Exalted with an eligible faction, a bag icon will appear on the faction's reputation bar. Hovering over this icon displays an extra reputation bar that can be filled repeatedly.

Filling the Paragon bar will trigger an emissary quest which gives resources and rewards depending on the faction and expansion. Each cache has a chance to contain an exclusive toy, pet or even a mount.

Renown[]

Main article: Renown

Based on the Shadowlands Inv misc covenant renown [Renown] system, Renown used for the Dragonflight factions replaces the general reputation system with rewards that come with every Renown level, with each point needing 2,500. At "Maximum Renown", that cap is then increased to 7,500 which works just like the Paragon system above.

Reputation sheet[]

You can check your reputation with all factions by pressing the "u" hotkey or by going to the Character window ("c" hotkey) and clicking on the Reputation tab along the bottom. You can also enable or disable various options:

  • Show as experience bar: Allows you to display one reputation bar as an experience bar on your main display (located above your level experience bar).
  • At War: If checked, you can initiate combat with NPCs of that faction, and your AoE spells will affect the mobs of that faction. It's always checked if you are Hated or Hostile; it can't be checked for other races within the Alliance/Horde.
  • Inactive: Moves the selected faction to the bottom of the reputation pane.

Gaining and losing reputation[]

Completing non-repeatable quests will usually increase your reputation with the quest giver's faction(s) by a fixed number of points. Many of the factions also have special repeatable quests that give reputation when completed, or special mobs that give reputation when killed. If the faction has a Championing tabard (which will be available from the faction's Quartermaster), you can gain reputation with that faction by wearing the tabard in dungeons. These dungeons must be either at your level or at the level indicated on the tabard to give reputation gains. Often the Championing tabard requires Friendly reputation with that faction to purchase. If that is the case, you will be able to get to Friendly with them by doing quests given by questgivers belonging to that faction (as indicated under the questgiver's name).

Reputation with certain factions can also be gained by turning in writs, which can be gotten as rewards from quests in the Argent Tournament or purchased with currency at the Molten Front.

Grey mobs used to give 20% of the normal reputation until the release of Patch 3.0.8. Now any mob will give full reputation. See the mob difficulty colors chart for when mobs transition from green to grey.

As noted above, killing certain mobs and doing certain quests will increase your reputation with one faction but decrease it with another. Currently there are 4 rival faction pairs, listed above.

For a few factions, there are limits on the methods to gain reputation. For instance, for Cenarion Expedition, killing certain mobs in Zangarmarsh only gives reputation until reaching Friendly. At Friendly or higher, the mobs give no reputation and alternative methods must be used to gain further reputation. For best results when trying to reach Exalted with a faction, see the page of the relevant reputation before completing quests for them.

Reputation bonuses[]

Various items, buffs and one racial trait, provide bonuses to reputation gains.

Racial Specific:

Holiday Specific:

Guild Rewards:

Zone Specific:

Account-wide buffs

Crafted Items

  • Faction Contracts (+10 reputation) with the named faction when completing a Battle for Azeroth world quest. Must be friendly with the faction. Only one contract can be active at a time. Buff lasts through death.

Gaining reputation with the Horde or Alliance factions[]

Every playable race has a home faction, for example Darnassus for night elves, Orgrimmar for orcs, etc.

Gaining reputation with your home faction provides access to discounted prices at their vendors, and certain reputation achievements. However, gaining reputation with other factions may provide additional benefits, such as specific items, patterns, spells etc which can be purchased from vendors of that faction at certain reputation levels. In addition, if you want a mount of a faction that is not your own, you must be Exalted with them. For example, if you are a troll and you want to buy a wolf mount, you must be Exalted with Orgrimmar.

Most quests for an Alliance or Horde faction will give full reputation gain for that faction, and one quarter of that reputation gain for the other factions on that side. For example, a quest completed for a Stormwind NPC will give 250 Stormwind reputation and 62.5 reputation for the other Alliance factions. This "spillover" reputation gain is capped at "friendly" (5999/6000);[1] that is, if you complete a quest for one Alliance or Horde faction, you will gain spillover reputation for every other faction with which you are friendly or below, but this spillover reputuation gain will not give you the last point to tip any of those reputations over to "exalted".

When you are friendly or better with any of your home factions, you can purchase a tabard from that faction's quartermaster. Wearing the tabard allows you to gain reputation by championing in any dungeons which are near your level (the exception is Burning Crusade dungeons, where you will gain Burning Crusade reputations instead).

At level 77 and above, characters can also gain reputation with their faction's races by completing quests for the Argent Tournament. Each Valiant quest rewards 250 reputation points for the appropriate race, and 62.5 for each of the other races in the faction. (e.g. Completing a daily quest as a Valiant of the Undercity gives 250 Undercity reputation, 62.5 Orgrimmar, 62.5 Thunder Bluff, etc.) In addition, the Champion daily quests can optionally award a Inv scroll 11 [Champion's Writ], which can be exchanged for 250 reputation with any of the home cities. Similarly, at level 85, Writs of Commendation from the major city factions can be bought at the Molten Front.

By default you are the equivalent of Hated with the opposite team (Horde if you are Alliance; Alliance if you are Horde). There is no way to increase or even view your reputation with factions of the opposite team (ex: You cannot increase your Undercity reputation while playing an Alliance character).

In Wrath of the Lich King[]

Main article: Wrath of the Lich King reputation rewards
See also: championing

For the most part, the reputations from Classic WoW and from Burning Crusade are not re-used in the Wrath of the Lich King. In the same way that Cenarion Circle of Azeroth turned into Cenarion Expedition in Outland, several old factions have new reputations. For example, the Argent Dawn made its way to Northrend, but since it has allied with the Knights of the Silver Hand, they are called The Argent Crusade.

However, for achievements, many old reputations received new attention. Nearly all factions have an achievement tied to them, and there are even additional achievements for pairs or groups of factions. For instance, acquiring exalted with both Cenarion Circle and the Cenarion Expedition will get you the title of Ability racial ultravision [Guardian of Cenarius]. See Achievements for more details.
