Reputation

You can gain or lose favor (reputation) with some of the several different factions in Azeroth by completing certain quests or killing certain creatures. Doing so will usually unlock special rewards or quests.

You can also increase your reputation by doing repeatable reputation quests.

Reputation levels and points

You can check your reputation with other factions by pressing "U". You'll notice that there are different Reputation Levels (for example Friendly and Neutral), and that every level has a certain amount of Reputation Points required to get to the next level. For instance, it takes 3000 points to get from Neutral to Friendly. 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. This generally requires Neutral or better standing.

Below is a list of all the reputation levels (8), from the highest to the lowest:

Level	Points	Notes
Exalted	1,000	Access to racial mounts. Capped at 999.7
Revered	21,000	Heroic mode keys for Outland dungeons
Honored	12,000	10% discount from faction vendors
Friendly	6,000
Neutral	3,000
Unfriendly	3,000	Cannot buy, sell or interact.
Hostile	3,000	You will always be attacked on sight
Hated	36,000

Gaining and losing reputation

Completing non-repeatable quests will increase your reputation with the quest giver's faction(s) by a fixed number of points (usually 150, 200 or 250). Most of the factions also have special repeatable quests that give reputation when completed, or special mobs that give reputation when killed.

Template:Stub/Accuracy

If the quest level is 6 or more levels below you, the reputation gained is lowered by 20% for each level to a minimum of 20%. That was consistent before patch 2.0.1, at least, but now the mechanics are less than clear. The cutoff for full reputation versus nerfed reputation now might be as great as 30 levels, and there are even exceptions to be found with even greater level differences, and the minimum reputation appears to be 10%. More research is needed.

For example, completing a level 10 quest that normally gives 25 points would give:

Level	Points
1	25 (100%)
10	25 (100%)
15	25 (100%)
16	20 (80%)
17	15 (60%)
18	10 (40%)
19	5 (20%)
60	5 (20%)

For mob kills, as long as the mob cons green or higher to you, then you will receive full reputation. Grey mobs give 20% of the normal reputation. See the mob difficulty colors chart for when mobs transition from green to grey.

Mobs and quests sometimes both increase your reputation with a faction but decrease it with another. For example, killing Gelkis centaurs will increase your reputation with the Magram, but will also decrease it with the Gelkis. Thus there is no way to be Exalted with the Gelkis and the Magram at the same time.

Gaining reputation with the Horde or Alliance factions

Every playable race has a reputation, for example Darnassus for Night Elves, Orgrimmar for Orcs, etc. Excluding the 10% discount at honored increasing reputation with the faction of your own race is useless, however 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. There's no way to increase or even see your reputation with factions of the opposite team (ex: increase your Undercity reputation while playing an Alliance character).

You can now increase your reputation by two different methods. The first is donating Wool, Silk, Mageweave or Runecloth through repeatable quests to designated NPCs. However, you can also perform repeatable quests in Alterac Valley, turning in blood, armor scraps, etc. Each turn in gives you a small amount of reputation with the home city of the quest giver, and a few points of reputation toward all other factions on your side (Horde/Alliance).

Most quests for an Alliance or Horde faction will give 250 reputation for that faction and 62.5 for the rest of the Alliance or Horde.

Reputation sheet

You can check your reputation with other factions by pressing "U". You can also enable or disable various options:

• Show as experience bar: Allows you to display one reputation bar as a experience bar on your main display.
• At war: If checked, 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 certain reputations (example: Darnassus if you are alliance).
• Inactive: Will move that faction to the bottom of the reputation pane.
