Reputation Guide
Terminology
What is Reputation [used for]?
B l i z z Q u o t e:
Reputation determines whether certain NPCs react kindly to you or
try to kill you on sight, among other things. A number of quests are
only available if you have reached a certain level with a particular
faction, while some quests will alter your faction when you finish
them.
Reputation is, for a large number of players, their end-game. After
getting all the gear, and countless raids against the
Horde/Alliance, this is the only avenue for further progress in the
game.
What is a Faction?
A Faction is a race, group, or organization that exists in the World
of Warcraft. Some Factions are against other Factions, so you can't
be liked by both. Examples of a Faction are Stormwind (Humans) and
Ogrimmar (Orcs).
What is a Team?
A Team is a group of Factions tied together, both in the story and
on the Reputation tab. Alliance, Horde, and Steamwheedle Cartel are
the only Teams currently in the game. "Other" is not a Team.
What is Reputation Spillover?
This is the term given to the effect seen when a Reputation gain in
one of the Teams will raise your Reputation in all or some of the
other Factions in the Team. Not all quests have give Spillover, and
not all quests with Spillover are confined to Teams. Spillover is
related entirely to the quest or mob giving the Reputation. Blizzard
calls this effect "rippling".
What is Reputation Reduction?
This is the term given to the effect seen when a Reputation from a
mob or quest is lower because of the level difference. Once the mob
goes Grey, or a quest is six levels below you, you lose 20% of the
total Reputation possible for the kill/completion for each level.
This goes this way for four levels, until you reach the minimum
Reputation gain of 20%. Example:
Morrowgrain to Darnassus/Feathermoon Stronghold is a level 50 quest.
At level 56 it becomes Grey. The level rewards look like this.
Level 47 - 55: 25 points (100%)
Level 56: 20 points (80%)
Level 57: 15 points (60%)
Level 58: 10 points (40%)
Level 59: 5 points (20%)
Level 60: 5 points (20%)
What is an RRQ?
RRQ stands for Repeatable Reputation Quest. These quests, unlike
normal quests, can be done multiple times, with each completion
giving Reputation as a reward. Some RRQs also give items, money, or
exp when completed as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I gain Reputation?
You gain reputation by completing quests and killing enemies
applicable to a given faction. You have to damage the enemy in order
to get reputation, you can't just be in a group and soak it up. You
also get a bonus to your race's reputation when you create your
character.
What Reputations Levels exist?
Exalted - Allows Highest level of accolade attainable with a faction
Revered - Special reputation level reserved for special heroes
Honored - 10% discount on bought items from vendors
Friendly - Standard reputation level for factions on a players team
Neutral - Standard reputation level for factions not on a players
team that are not KOS
Unfriendly - Cannot buy, sell, or interact
Hostile - KOS
Hated - KOS; all opposing team factions are set permanently to the
lowest level here
Additional Info
How can I see if/how much my Reputation Changes?
If you are using the default UI, move your pointer over the chat
window. After a second, the tabs above the window will become
visible. Click on Combat Log, or click and drag it to separate the
windows to show your combat information, which includes reputation
gains and losses. Some reputations will not show up in the combat
log without a mod, since the updates to reputation are sometimes not
notified to the player.
Is there any way to see a more detailed Reputation Change
information?
Yes, there are currently a few mods that add information to the
Reputation page. The best one is by
Karmond and Egris.
How many Reputation Points are there for each level?
Exalted: 1000 points
Revered: 21000 points
Honored: 12000 points
Friendly: 6000 points
Neutral: 3000 points
Unfriendly: 3000 points
Hostile: 3000 points
Hated: 36000 points
Does the state of the quest (Color) effect the Reputation gain
from the quest?
Yes, in that the level difference between your level and the level
of the quest determines how much Reputation you receive of the total
reward. Red, Orange, Yellow and Green quests give all of the total
Reputation award for the quest, while Grey quests give a diminishing
return based on your level compared to the quest level. See
Reputation Reduction.
Does the state of the Reputation-raising mob (Color) effect the
reputation gain from the mob?
Yes, just like quests. The level of the quest corresponds to how
much Reputation you receive of the total reward. Red, Orange, Yellow
and Green quests give all of the reputation award for the quest,
while Grey quests give a diminishing return based on your level
compared to the quest level. See Reputation Reduction.
How do I get a cross-faction mount?
The only way to get a cross-faction mount is to gain Exalted status
with the particular faction whose mount you want to attain. Horde
and Alliance cannot access each other's mounts at this time. Other
restrictions are that Mechostriders are rideable only by Gnomes and
Dwarves, and Taurens can only ride Kodos and Baron Rivendare's
Mount.
Currently there are only 4 factions with mounts that you can get
Exalted with: Stormwind, Darnassus, Ogrimmar, and Thunderbluff. Only
Stormwind and Ogrimmar are feasible at this time though.
How do I get an Alliance Mount as a member of the Horde, or a
Horde mount as a member of the Alliance?
You cannot. There is no way to gain reputation with the Horde as a
member of the Alliance, or vice versa, so you cannot gain training
to ride the mounts.
Does/Will Honor effect Reputation?
At this stage, no. However, there may be an indication that you can
get an additional 10% off vendors, or perhaps in place of getting
Honored. Time will tell on this one.
Why aren't Alliance/Horde quests listed in the FAQ?
There are currently a large number of quests that involve the main
Teams, with incorrect reputation gains, i.e. wrong faction gain or
no faction at all. Often whole lines of quests do not have any
reputation gains despite interacting with major NPCs. Also, 80%
(rough guess) of the people interested in the Reputation Issue, have
already completed the earlier quests prior to the existence of this
thread, and a mod that shows what the gains are. Hopefully this info
will be added at a future point though.

to Darnassus" and "Morrowgrain
to Feathermoon"
