Gaining reputation is done primarily through handing in dropped items from mobs in northern Nagrand as well as items found in chests throughout the zone.

Mists of PandariaThe August Celestials

Completing this specific questline rewards Champion of Chi-Ji.

Rewards include epic bracers, gloves, and boots as well as Reins of the Thundering August Cloud Serpent, August Celestials Tabard and Enchanting formulae.

Hitting Exalted grants The August Celestials and also counts towards Pandaren Ambassador.

Both completing the achievement and turning in the scroll to Lorewalker Cho will give reputation. Turning in all the scrolls will net you Exalted.

You can also turn in eggs for additional reputation: Onyx To Goodness.

At Exalted, you'll get the serpent you raised to maturity: Reins of the Jade Cloud Serpent, Reins of the Azure Cloud Serpent, Reins of the Golden Cloud Serpent.Players also automatically learn and are now eligible to train the cloud serpent critters in the zone as battle pets.

Baradin's Wardens/Hellscream's Reach

These factions, groups of jailers, battle for control of Tol Barad, a strategic island with valuable resources.

The NPCs joke that their orders change every day at 3 am, a reference to their large number of possible daily quests. Most players can do six dailies on Tol Barad Peninsula and up to nine dailies (if lucky) in Tol Barad for reputation. (However, if your server resets dailies at 4 am, you can check back at 3 am to see if several new quests are available on the Peninsula.) After each win, three dailies will remain constant while the other three can (but not always) change to focus on a different prison block. Tol Barad wins and commendations also award reputation. There is a tabard, Baradin's Wardens Tabard, but it does not grant reputation.

The Earthen Ring is a group of shamans who aim to restore the balance of the elements. They maintain good relations with Thrall and the Cenarion Circle, welcoming shamans of all races to their ranks.

Players gain reputation with The Earthen Ring through questing in Vash'jir, Deepholm, Twilight Highlands, and the 4.2 Thrall chain, as well as via Tabard of the Earthen Ring sold from Provisioner Arok in The Shimmering Flats.

The quartermaster sells several epics and formerly sold a tank helm enchant. Exalted also grants the player The Earthen Ring.

Therazane

Named after the powerful elemental Therazane, this faction initially starts off hostile to all adventurers in Deepholm. As the quest line progresses, Therazane looks more favorably upon the Earthen Ring shamans, eventually forming a peaceful co-existence after they save the World Pillar.

Players gain reputation with Therazane in three ways: questing through Deepholm, numerous dailies once the entire zone is unlocked, and Tabard of Therazane that grants reputation in level 85 dungeons. Since there are so many daily quests, it's generally wise to save this tabard for last. The quartermaster and the dailies can be found in northeastern Deepholm.

Pet collectors will want to do Therazane dailies as well for Pebble, while achievement collectors will find several achievements related to the dailies: The Glop Family Line, Fungalophobia, Fungal Frenzy, My Very Own Broodmother. Exalted with Therazane grants Therazane.

The Alliance Vanguard is an umbrella organization representing the united efforts of the Alliance in Northrend. They have headquarters in Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord.

Reputation comes naturally--when you gain reputation with any of the Vanguard's four sub-factions (Explorer's League, The Frostborn, The Silver Covenant, Valliance Expedition), you gain spillover rep with Alliance Vanguard. So by the time you are Exalted with two sub-factions, you will hit Exalted with the Alliance Vanguard. You can gain reputation with the other factions through questing or doing level 80 dungeons without a tabard.

Most of the rewards are leveling gear, but of notable interest are Schematic: Mekgineer's Chopper and Plans: Titanium Plating.

Getting Exalted rewards the player with The Winds of the North.

Argent Crusade

Players can also turn in Argent Crusade Commendation Badge.

The Argent Crusade quartermaster sells Design: Guardian's Twilight Opal and Pattern: Brilliant Spellthread.

It grants the achievement The Argent Crusade and counts towards Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance/Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde, Northrend Vanguard, and The Argent Champion.

Horde Expedition

Like the Alliance Vanguard, the Horde Expedition is an umbrella organization representing the united efforts of the Horde, led by the Warsong Offensive.

Reputation comes naturally--when you gain reputation with any of the Vanguard's four sub-factions (The Hand of Vengeance, The Taunka, Warsong Offensive, The Sunreavers), you gain spillover rep with the Horde Expedition. So by the time you are Exalted with two sub-factions, you will hit Exalted with the Horde Expedition. You can gain reputation with the other factions through questing or doing level 80 dungeons without a tabard.

Most of the rewards are leveling gear, but of notable interest are Schematic: Mechano-Hog, and Plans: Titanium Plating. Getting Exalted rewards the player with The Winds of the North.

Kirin Tor

The Kirin Tor are a group of wizards located in The Situation in Dalaran, who both research magic and protect the city from future harm.

Players can complete quests in Borean Tundra for reputation, as well as daily cooking, fishing, and dungeon quests offered in The Situation in Dalaran. Players can gain reputation through using Tabard of the Kirin Tor in level 80 dungeons at Friendly as well; since there aren't many quests, this is a good option in addition to turning in Kirin Tor Commendation Badge. Mages are automatically friendly with the Kirin Tor.

Gaining reputation with the Kirin Tor gives you discounts to many vanity items in The Situation in Dalaran, including rings and mammoths. In addition, the quartermaster sells Design: Brilliant Scarlet Ruby and Pattern: Sapphire Spellthread.

Exalted grants The Kirin Tor and counts towards Northrend Vanguard.

Knights of the Ebon Blade

The Knights of the Ebon Blade are a group of death knights who have broken free of Arthas' will and now server Highlord Darion Mograine. Their quartermaster can be unlocked through a series of quests in Icecrown related to The Shadow Vault, a subzone in Icecrown.

Players gain reputation with the Knights of the Ebon Blade through quests in Zul'Drak and Icecrown, as well as daily quests at The Shadow Vault and the Argent Tournament. Tabard of the Ebon Blade can be purchased at Friendly (with correct Shadow Vault phasing) for reputation in level 80 dungeons. Players can also turn in Ebon Blade Commendation Badge and Death Knights start off as Friendly.

Duchess Mynx sells Pattern: Abyssal Bag and Design: Timeless Twilight Opal.

Exalted counts towards Knights of the Ebon Blade and Northrend Vanguard.

The Ashen Verdict

The Ashen Verdict is a parternship between the elite of the Argent Crusade and the Knights of the Ebon Blade in Icecrown Citadel. Tirion Fordring and Darion Mograine are their leaders.

Players mostly gain reputation solely through killing trash and bosses in Icecrown Citadel--those completing Shadowmourne gain additional reputation from quests.

Alchemist Finklestein sells crafting patterns for boots and legs for the price of one Primordial Saronite. As players gain reputation, they can obtain rings with higher and higher ilevels. Finally obtaining Exalted grants The Ashen Verdict and the title <Name> of the Ashen Verdict.

The Kalu'ak

The Kalu'ak are a group of tuskarr, nomadic walrus-like humanoids. They are great fishermen but less-skilled warriors--they are constantly attacked on their outposts in Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord, and Dragonblight by numerous Wrath factions.

Players earn reputation with several major questlines and then three dailies, one per quest hub: The Way to His Heart..., Preparing for the Worst, and Planning for the Future.

Kalu'ak quartermasters are found in both Dragonblight and Howling Fjord. They sell negligible leveling gear as well as Design: Purified Shadow Crystal, Design: Defender's Shadow Crystal, Pattern: Trapper's Traveling Pack, Pattern: Emerald Bag, Nurtured Penguin Egg, and Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole--a fishing pole that grants underwater breathing. Obtaining Exalted grants Tuskarrmageddon--slightly more achievement points than normal.

The Sons of Hodir

The Sons of Hodir is a faction of frost giants in The Storm Peaks. Their hub is unlocked by doing a lengthy quest series, starting with They Took Our Men!, which eventually leads to Thorim's betrayal.

Completing the starter quest chain and dungeon quests grants some reputation; players earn the bulk through bawdy daily quests, turning in additional Everfrost scattered around the zone, purchasing Sons of Hodir Commendation Badge with Justice Points, and turning in 10 Relic of Ulduar for Hodir's Tribute.

The Sons of Hodir do not award an achievement, but purchasing their mounts do from Lillehoff: Reins of the Ice Mammoth for Ice Mammoth and Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth, a three-seater mount, for Grand Ice Mammoth. Lillehoff also sells BoA shoulder enchants at Exalted, as well as Pattern: Mammoth Mining Bag at Honored and Design: Smooth Autumn's Glow and Pattern: Glacial Bag at Exalted.

The Wyrmrest Accord

The Wyrmrest Accord is an alliance of Red, Bronze, Green, and Black Dragonflights that battle against the Blue Dragonflights. Their headquarters are in Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight.

Quests while leveling in Dragonblight give reputation; players can also buy Tabard of the Wyrmrest Accord at Friendly to gain rep in level 80 dungeons. There is a daily quest, Defending Wyrmrest Temple, which gives the achievement Rapid Defense if done quickly. Players can also turn in Wyrmrest Commendation Badge.

Cielstrasza sells the Jewelcrafting design Design: Stalwart Monarch Topaz and Reins of the Red Drake.

Exalted is needed for both The Wyrmrest Accord and Northrend Vanguard.

Alliance Vanguard

The Explorers' League is an organization dedicated to preserving the Dwarven past through artifacts, which soon turned into a larger organization seeking historical information about the entire world. Their main bases are located in Ironforge and Howling Fjord, with quests in Howling Fjord and The Storm Peaks granting reputation.

The Frostborn, a long-reclusive type of dwarf, lives in Frosthold in The Storm Peaks, ruled by Yorg Stormheart--Magni Bronzebeard after he lost his memory. They offer a handful of quests in The Storm Peaks and their NPCs sell fun items in return for the Relics of Ulduar such as Iron Boot Flask.

The Silver Covenant, a group of high elves in The Situation in Dalaran, refuse the admittance of blood elf mages to the Kirin Tor. They support Veressa Windrunner and reside at the Silver Enclave. The Silver Covenant is represented at the Argent Tournament: most dailies grant spillover reputation and they have several of their own dailies. At the Argent Tournament, one can get A Silver Confidant, Quel'dorei Steed, Silver Covenant Hippogryph, Shimmering Wyrmling, and Silver Covenant Tabard.

Valiance Expedition is the main branch of the Alliance in Northrend, under orders of King Varian Wrynn. Their bases are located in Howling Fjord and Dragonblight. Their quests are found in Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Howling Fjord, and Icecrown.

Horde Expedition

The Hand of Vengeance is a group of Forsaken sent to Northrend to fight the Lich King with deadly plague. Players gain some reputation through quests in Howling Fjord and Dragonblight.

The Sunreavers, a group of horde in The Situation in Dalaran, want blood elf mages admitted to the Kirin Tor. Through the efforts of Archmage Aethas Sunreaver, they have been accepted into the city and reside at Sunreaver's Sanctuary. The Sunreavers are represented at the Argent Tournament: most dailies grant spillover reputation and they have several of their own dailies. At the Argent Tournament, one can get The Sunreavers, Sunreaver Dragonhawk, Sunreaver Hawkstrider, Shimmering Wyrmling, and Sunreaver Tabard.

The Taunka, relations to the tauren, have faced great tragedy in Northrend, recently joining the Horde after evacuating from Borean Tundra. Quest chains in Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord grant reputation.

The Warsong Offensive, an elite sect of the Warsong Clan, leads the Horde Expedition in Northrend. Players gain reputation from quests in Ashenvale, Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Icecrown, and The Storm Peaks.

Frenzyheart Tribe/The OraclesFrenzyheart TribeThe OraclesA Hero's BurdenFrenzyheart TribeThe OraclesHonorary FrenzyheartSavior of the OraclesMercenary of Sholazar40 Exalted Reputations

The Frenzyheart Tribe are aggressive wolf-like humanoids. Their main perks are Design: Reckless Huge Citrine, Design: Jagged Forest Emerald, and Disgusting Jar which has a small chance to yield Frenzyheart Brew.

The Oracles, evolved murlocs, are advanced and peaceful reptiles in northern Sholazar. Their main benefits are Design: Nimble Dark Jade, Design: Misty Forest Emerald, and from Mysterious Egg, Reins of the Green Proto-Drake, Cobra Hatchling, Proto-Drake Whelp, Tickbird Hatchling, White Tickbird Hatchling.

The Burning CrusadeAshtongue Deathsworn

The Ashtongue Deathsworn are an elite sect of the Broken, a cast-off draenei tribe on Outlands. Initially, they served under Akama who supported Illidan Stormrage, but upon liberating Akama from his Shade in Black Temple, the Deathsworn rebel.

Players can reputation through the Black Temple attunement questline in Shadowmoon Valley and the Arcatraz, but the majority of the reputation will come from killing the trash and bosses in Black Temple.

Okuno on the second floor of The Black Temple sell shadow resist craftables as well as epic class trinkets at Exalted. Hitting exalted grants Sworn to the Deathsworn.

Cenarion Expedition

The Cenarion Expedition is a branch of the Cenarion Circle in Outlands, dealing with the threat of the Naga in Zangarmarsh and the strange wildlife in Outlands. Their quartermaster is located at Cenarion Refuge in Zangarmarsh.

Players can do numerous quests in Zangarmarsh, Terokkar Forest, Hellfire Peninsula, Netherstorm, and Borean Tundra with D.E.H.T.A. In addition, The Slave Pens, The Underbog, and The Steamvault awards reputation from trash mobs and bosses. Running normal Steamvault is your best bet--there's no daily lockout, the mobs give fairly high reputation through Exalted unlike the other instances and there's patterns like Schematic: Rocket Boots Xtreme for collectors. There's also Unidentified Plant Parts, which is a good way to hit 5999/6000 Friendly before doing any quests. You can also turn in Nesingwary Lackey Ear for Can't Get Ear-nough... and 150 reputation, but some players find this slow.

Exalted with both the Cenarion Expedition and the Cenarion Circle grants the achievement and title Guardian of Cenarius, in addition to counting towards Cenarion War Hippogryph and The Burning Crusader. You'll probably get D.E.H.T.A's Little P.I.T.A. from questing along the way too.

The quartermaster sells many notable recipes, including Recipe: Flask of Distilled Wisdom, Recipe: Transmute Primal Water to Air, and Design: The Natural Ward. In addition, players are able to purchase a Cenarion War Hippogryphfor ( with the Exalted discount), granting the achievement Cenarion War Hippogryph.

Honor Hold/Thrallmar

The members of Honor Hold and Thrallmar are expeditionary soldiers on the frontlines against the Burning Legion at the Dark Portal.

The majority of quests in Hellfire Peninsula grant reputation, in addition to The Shattered Halls, The Blood Furnace, and Hellfire Ramparts. An efficient way to farm reputation is to farm The Shattered Halls normal since, like The Steamvaults, these high-level mobs give a fair amount of reputation and there are numerous bosses. Collectors can also farm Pattern: Spellstrike Hood and Formula: Enchant 2H Weapon - Savagery there.

At exalted, players can purchase Honor Hold Tabard/Thrallmar Tabard. Quartermasters also sell numerous patterns for collectors, most notably Pattern: Nethercobra Leg Armor, Plans: Felsteel Shield Spike, and Formula: Enchant Cloak - Subtlety. Exalted with these factions counts towards The Burning Crusader.

Keepers of Time

The Keepers of Time are a sect of bronze dragons hand-picked by Nozdormu in the Caverns of Time, a series of instances where players go back in time to preserve history.

Players earn reputation by getting attuned to Old Hillsbrad Foothills and The Black Morass, in addition to running these instances over and over.

At exalted, players can purchase Keepers of Time Tabard, with numerous other recipes along the way: Recipe: Flask of Supreme Power, Formula: Enchant Gloves - Superior Agility, Design: Stone of Blades, Design: Pendant of Frozen Flame, Design: Living Ruby Serpent, Pattern: Drums of Panic, Formula: Enchant Ring - Minor Intellect, Design: Facet of Eternity, Design: Enigmatic Skyfire Diamond, Formula: Enchant Gloves - Major Spellpower.

Exalted also counts towards The Burning Crusader.

Kurenai/The Mag'har

These two factions, while they have very different lore, are meant to be equivalent factions in Nagrand that grant shiny talbuks. The Kurenai are a sect of the Broken, exiled and tainted Draenei, that are looking to discover their new identity. The Mag'har are Thrall's ancestral family--and a highlight of TBC questing is learning how Thrall reconnects with his grandmother.

Questing in Nagrand will get you pretty far--killing ogres grants reputation, as does turning in the Obsidian Warbeads most any creature in Nagrand drops.

Many players grind these reputations for the numerous Talbuks such as Reins of the Cobalt Riding Talbuk--the reputation also unlocks recipes like Recipe: Transmute Primal Fire to Earth and Pattern: Netherfury Boots.

This counts towards Oh My, Kurenai/Mag'har of Draenor and The Diplomat.

Netherwing

Netherwing is a faction of enslaved dragons in Shadowmoon Valley, whom the player helps to thwart the bloodthirsty Dragonmaw Fel Orcs.

Players get to neutral with Netherwing through a quest series beginning with Kindness. Upon completing that, the daily hub at Netherwing Ledge is unlocked. Players can gain reputation either by doing dailies or turning in Netherwing Egg scattered around the sub-zone. We've got a pretty extensive reputation guide on our faction page.

Exalted with Netherwing grants On Wings of Nether as well as access to six dragon mounts sold by Drake Dealer Hurlunk. Players can also earn Commander's Badge at Revered and Skybreaker Whip for winning a series of races, Skyshattered.

Ogri'la

Ogri'la is one of the more annoying factions to grind. A group of cheerful ogres in Blade's Edge Mountains, they offer frustrating daily quests that combat the Burning Legion and Black Dragonflight.

There are very few ways to gain reputation with Ogri'la. After an initial chain, there are a handful of daily quests. You cannot grind this faction at all.

Sometimes mobs will drop "depleted" items, which can be turned into high-quality items with a certain number of Apexis Shard. Players can also purchase Ogri'la Tabard with Ogri'la Exalted and gain the achievement A Quest a Day Keeps the Ogres at Bay.

Sporeggar

The Sporeggar are a peaceful faction of mushroom-humanoids in western Zangarmarsh.

Players start off at unfriendly with Sporeggar and can complete The Sporelings' Plight and Natural Enemies to reach Friendly. After Friendly, there are several repeatable quests players can do--the easiest by far is turning in Sanguine Hibiscus for Bring Me A Shrubbery!, which are found in the Underbog. Even without a level-capped rogue, it's easy to do stealth runs and net 15 flowers a pop.

The Sporregar Quartermaster, Mycah, sells a lot of neat stuff. Tallstalk Mushroom tracks giants in the zone, the Muck-Covered Drape reduces your threat, the Petrified Lichen Guard applies deadly poison. There's also Recipe: Transmute Primal Earth to Water, Pattern: Mycah's Botanical Bag, Recipe: Shrouding Potion, the Tiny Sporebat pet, and the Sporeggar Tabard--so it's a good faction for collectors. (You'll purchase these items with a strange form of currency though--Glowcap, which are located around Western Zangarmarsh.)

Exalted counts towards The Czar of Sporeggar and The Diplomat.

The Consortium

The Consortium, a friendly group of ethereal traders, are located in Mana Tombs, Nagrand, and Netherstorm.

The easiest way by far is to grind out Zaxxis Insignia in Netherstorm for Another Heap of Ethereals--the respawn rate of the mobs is extremely fast and the droprate is fairly high. Players can also turn in Obsidian Warbeads, but it makes more sense to save them for the Kurenai/Mag'har grind. Reputation is also granted from running Mana-Tombs.

At Exalted, players can purchase the Consortium Tabard and achieve Chief Exalted Officer. At Friendly, players receive a 'salary' from the Consortium in the form of monthly bags of gems available from Gezhe in Nagrand. The Consortium offers numerous patterns for collectors in Netherstorm, Nagrand, and Karazhan, from Design: Relentless Earthstorm Diamond to Schematic: Elemental Seaforium Charge--gem cuts are definitely their specialty.

The Scale of the Sands

The Scale of the Sands is a subset of the Bronze Dragonflight involved in Hyjal Summit.

Players gain reputation with The Scale of the Sands by killing bosses and trash inside Hyjal Summit. There are only five bosses, which each spawn after waves of trash--so it's possible to keep wiping on the boss to respawn and farm the waves of trash.

At Friendly, players obtain an epic ring upon completing The Vials of Eternity, a former attunement chain, which is upgraded as your reputation levels increase. Players can purchase numerous epic gem cuts and hunters used to be able to purchase epic ammo. Hitting Exalted grants The Scale of the Sands.

The Violet Eye

The Violet Eye is a group of mages from the Kirin Tor investigating the strange goings-on in Karazhan.

Players earn reputation with The Violet Eye through the Karazhan attunement chain, starting with Arcane Disturbances, and also by farming trash and bosses in Karazhan.

As players gain reputation, they obtain better rings from Archmage Leryda outside of the instance. There are also various patterns that require reputation: Design: The Frozen Eye, Plans: Iceguard Breastplate, Plans: Iceguard Helm, Recipe: Flask of Chromatic Wonder, Pattern: Shadowprowler's Chestguard, Plans: Iceguard Leggings, Pattern: Cloak of Darkness, Formula: Enchant Weapon - Greater Agility. Exalted grants the achievement The Violet Eye.

Tranquillien

Tranquillien is a low-level faction in Ghostlands, with no Alliance equivalent. It is run by a group of blood elves and Forsaken to combat the Scourge that have overrun the rest of the zone.

Low-level players receive large amounts of reputation for completing quests in this town. If players finish the entire zone, they should be Exalted.

Sadly, not much of this gear is worthwhile with the addition of heirlooms, but the green armor does have distinctive armor skins.

Shattrath CityDraeneiLower City

Lower City is comprised of all the refugees from Outlands that have formed a vibrant community in Shattrath.

The most efficient way to hit Exalted is to turn in Arakkoa Feather until Honored to Vekax, then complete all quests in Terokkar affiliated with Lower City, then run Sethekk Halls and Shadow Labyrinth until the end.

Exalted counts towards The Burning Crusader, and in addition, players can purchase Lower City Tabard. If you get lucky farming Sethekk Halls for reputation, you could end up with Reins of the Raven Lord.

Nakodu also sells a variety of patterns for collectors: Formula: Enchant Cloak - Dodge, Design: Potent Flame Spessarite, Recipe: Elixir of Major Shadow Power, Recipe: Flask of Chromatic Resistance, Design: Falling Star, Formula: Enchant Ring - Stats, Pattern: Cloak of Arcane Evasion.

Sha'tari Skyguard

The Sha'tari Skyguard are the elite flying squad division of the Sha'tar, focusing on the threat of the arakkoa in Skettis.

There are several daily and repeatable quests one can do: Fires Over Skettis, Escape from Skettis, Wrangle Some Aether Rays!, World of Shadows. In addition, players can grind out reputation until the end of Revered simply by killing mobs in Skettis. If done correctly, players will eventually summon Terokk, a boss who can drop epics and vanity items like Time-Lost Figurine.

Exalted grants the achievement Flying High Over Skettis. The quartermaster of the Sha'tari Skyguard sells capes that reduce fall speed, numerous Nether Ray Mounts, a Nether Ray Fry pet, and Skyguard Tabard at exalted.

Shattered Sun Offensive

The Shattered Sun Offensive is Shattrath's response to Kil'jaeden's operations in the Sunwell Plateau. It's a daily quest hub similar to the Molten Front with different phases of daily quests and a wide variety of rewards.

Players gain reputation through numerous daily quests as well as running Magisters' Terrace on both normal and heroic. Completing dailies can count towards your daily achievement totals, while farming instances can reward you with Swift White Hawkstrider, Phoenix Hatchling, Orb of the Sin'dorei, and numerous rare recipes.

There are numerous vendor rewards, such as epic gem cuts for jewelcrafters and several epic trinket recipes for alchemists. Tabard of the Shattered Sun, You're So Offensive, and the title "of the Shattered Sun" are available at Exalted.

The Aldor/The Scryers

The Aldor and The Scryers are rival factions--the Aldor are a group of Draenei priests while the Scryers are a rebellious group of blood elves that sought redemption after their malicious deeds. Upon discovering Shattrath City, you will be given a tour of the city and then asked to pick a faction. You can only be Exalted with one faction at a time, but crafters and achievement-collectors have swapped sides for fun and Hero of Shattrath.

Turn in Mark of Kil'jaeden/Firewing Signet until Honored. Then, turn in Mark of Sargeras/Sunfury Signet until Exalted. Fel Armament/Arcane Tome are rarer drops but offer much more reputation and are needed for shoulder enchants. There are several unique chains in Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley that players should save for Honored.

Aldor rewards players with patterns for fire resistance gear, spellthreads, and jewelcrafting cuts. Exalted grants players Aldor Tabard and Shattrath Divided.

Scryers reward players with patterns for arcane resistance gear, spellthreads, and jewelcrafting cuts. Exalted grants players Scryers Tabard.

The Sha'tar

The Sha'tar aided the Aldor in rebuilding the capital of Shattrath City.

Players gain reputation through spillover reputation with The Aldor and The Scryers. The majority of reputation will come from running The Mechanar, The Arcatraz, and The Botanica. In running these instances, crafters can collect patterns such as Pattern: Battlecast Pants from bosses.

The quartermaster, located by A'dal, sells the following items for collectors: Recipe: Flask of the Titans, Formula: Enchant Gloves - Threat, Recipe: Alchemist Stone, Design: Blood of Amber, Recipe: Transmute Primal Air to Fire, Formula: Enchant Weapon - Major Healing, Design: Talasite Owl, Pattern: Drums of Battle, Design: Kailee's Rose, Formula: Enchant Gloves - Major Healing, Design: Ring of Arcane Shielding, Design: Insightful Earthstorm Diamond.

Exalted with The Sha'tar is required for Sha'tar Tabard and is needed for The Burning Crusader.

ClassicArgent Dawn

The Argent Dawn is the precursor to the Argent Crusade, a group of soldiers dedicated to protecting Azeroth from evils such as the Burning Legion and the Scourge. While most members are now officially in the Argent Crusade, one can still hit Exalted with this faction.

Players begin gaining reputation by completing Fiona's quest in Eastern Plaguelands. Next, complete Argent Call: The Trial of the Crypt behind Light's Hope Chapel. From Revered to Exalted, you will need to do the repeatable quests Annals of the Silver Hand and Aberrations of Bone. It's a bit simplified from the previous grind, which involved farming instance mobs, special scourgestones, and Insignia of the Dawn to buy epic gear.

Exalted used to grant players a shoulder enchant, but this has been removed from the game, as well as epics purchasable with Insignia of the Dawn. What does remain are The Argent Dawn, The Argent Champion, and a number of patterns at Honored and Revered such as Recipe: Transmute Air to Fire and Formula: Enchant Bracer - Healing Power.

Bloodsail Buccaneers

The Bloodsail Buccaneers are the rival trading partners of Booty Bay in The Cape of Stranglethorn.

Players gain reputation by slaughtering inhabitants of Booty Bay. The guards will net you and keep spawning--so bring friends to handle the waves of hostile mobs. Also be warned that your Steamwheedle Cartel rep will drop, but fortunately there are ways to raise it once your rep grind is done. Remember not to do quests associated with the Steamwheedle Cartel or else your pirate rep will drop! (However, players previously Honored with the Bloodsail before Cataclysm will have enough reputation to remain in good standing even if they redo all of STV for Loremaster.) Back in Wrath, players could painstakingly hit exalted by farming one lone goblin in The Badlands, Jazzrik, but he's now been removed.

This faction won't count towards the Exalted--the Feat of Strength Avast Ye, Admiral!, only requires Friendly and the Insane requires Honored; at that level, you'll get Avast Ye, Admiral!, which rewards you with a pirate hat that summons a parrot: Bloodsail Admiral's Hat. This achievement also grants the title "Bloodsail Admiral."

Brood of Nozdormu

The Brood of Nozdormu consists of the Bronze Dragonflight, led by Anachronos. They are mostly found in Silithus, integral to the outcome of Ahn'Qiraj.

Reputation starts off slow with the Brood of Nozdormu. The quest to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj gave some reputation, but that was removed in Cataclysm. Players gain reputation from clearing trash and bosses in Ahn'Qiraj (as well as smaller amounts of rep from bosses in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj), with slight amounts of additional reputation for completing quests that turn in honor. Clearing trash will only get you to 2999/3000 Neutral, so it is recommended to save the Qiraji Lord's Insignia from bosses and Ancient Qiraji Artifact from trash until then.

Exalted with the Brood grants Brood of Nozdormu. Neutral, Friendly, and Honored reputation is needed to create different components of Tier 2.5 armor, like Avenger's Crown. Epic rings are also available at each level of reputation until Exalted.

Cenarion Circle

The Cenarion Circle is a cross-faction organization of druids of all races, united to protect and restore nature. Their center is in Moonglade, a zone that all Druids can teleport to. Affiliates of the Cenarion Circle keep appearing in later expansions--the Cenarion Expedition, Guardians of Hyjal, and Avengers of Hyjal.

There are many quests scattered about Azeroth that give reputation. Players can also farm the Ruins and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, in addition to turning in Encrypted Twilight Text dropped by Cultists in Silithus. The Twilight Prophet, a rare elite, is guaranteed to drop a hefty number of texts.

The Cenarion Circle vendors primarily sold patterns for nature resistance gear--once important for fighting Princess Huhuran. Collectors will want these items--do keep in mind that the Leatherworking vendor, Aendel Windspear, is a ghost in Southwind Village, while Lieutenant General Andorov is located inside the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj.

Darkmoon Faire

The Darkmoon Faire, needed for Insane in the Membrane, is Azeroth's traveling carnival--with monthly stops alternating between Elwynn Forest, Mulgore, and Terokkar Forest. Players can enjoy many perks of a real carnival, such as prizes, fortunes, contests, and fanciful refreshments.

With the Darkmoon Faire's revamp in Patch 4.3, it's very easy to hit Exalted with the Faire if you keep doing daily quest games when the Faire is in town. Check out our Darkmoon Faire guide for full details.

Hydraxian Waterlords

Hydraxian Waterlords are the sworn enemies of Ragnaros. Players used to need reputation to acquire Eternal Quintessence, which allowed each boss rune to be doused, summoning Majordomo Executus. That's been simplified in Cataclysm though.

Players gain reputation by killing trash and bosses inside Molten Core. Most trash gives reputation until Revered, so you will have to clear the 10 bosses each week to hit Exalted. Good thing there's Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker and Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros to farm along the way.

Exalted players receive Hydraxian Waterlords.

Ravenholdt

Ravenholdt, the Assassin's League, is a group of rogues located at the Ravenholdt Manor in Alterac Mountains.

Rogues have special quests to gain reputation, such as Syndicate Emblems. However, for all classes, it's easiest to kill Syndicate in Hillsbrad Foothills until 11999/12000 Honored, repeating Junkboxes Needed until Exalted. Players will need the aid of a rogue to pickpocket level 50-60 mobs in instances such as Blackrock Spire for Heavy Junkbox.

Exalted is required for Insane in the Membrane. There are no other noticeable rewards besides the NPCs praising players more generously as reputation increases.

Syndicate

The Syndicate is a group of human criminals and rogues located in Alterac Mountains and Arathi Highlands. They're hated by both the Alliance and the Horde; they operate on their own terms.

Thorium Brotherhood

The Thorium Brotherhood is a renegade group of craftsmen that have split off from the Dark Iron dwarves. They give quests in Searing Gorge and sell their ways in Blackrock Depths.

The reputation grind has been simplified since the days of farming Incendosaur Scale. Players will do quests for reputation, as well as the repeatable quest Gaining Even More Acceptance. 100 Dark Iron Residue yields 1500 reputation. After Honored, you will want to turn in items to Lokhtos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths--Fiery Core and Lava Core are the most cost-efficient.

Getting Exalted with this faction isn't tied to any achievement, but it's easy since the turn-ins are generally cheap at this point in Cataclysm. Crafters will get a ton of patterns, such as Plans: Fiery Chain Shoulders and Formula: Enchant Weapon - Mighty Intellect. Blacksmiths can complete A Binding Contract which rewards Plans: Sulfuron Hammer, needed to craft Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros.

Timbermaw Hold

The Timbermaws are peaceful and uncorrupted Furbolgs that live in a tunnel between Felwood and Winterspring. They are cautious about trusting outsiders, so you will have to work hard to gain their respect.

After Cataclysm, the location of some Furbolg camps have changed, but the principle is the same. Complete quests in Felwood first, then complete the quests from Donova Snowden in Winterspring. Then, kill all of the furbolgs in sight, turning in More Beads for Salfa for additional reputation. It shouldn't take players a ton of time to hit Exalted, even if they skip some quests.

At Exalted, players complete The Root of All Evil for Defender of the Timbermaw. New to Cataclysm is the addition of Stave of Fur and Claw, a permanent version of the depricated Ashenvale quest item. At various reputation levels, the Timbermaw will also sell crafting patterns such as Formula: Enchant 2H Weapon - Agility. Exalted also counts towards They Love Me In That Tunnel and The Diplomat.

Wintersaber Trainers

The Wintersaber Trainers used to be a difficult grind for the Alliance, simplified greatly in Cataclysm. In past years, there were three repeatable quests that gave tiny amounts of reputation that required players to travel all around the zone. Now, players do a set amount of daily quests per day that grant a fair amount of reputation. Upon obtaining Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber, players earn Winterspring Frostsaber.

Alliance ForcesThe JusticarSilverwing Sentinels

The Silverwing Sentinels hope to drive the Orcs out of Warsong Gulch, keeping the forests of Ashenvale safe.

One of the most difficult grinds in the game, you gain 35 reputation (45 on holiday weekends) per flag cap in Warsong Gulch. Definitely recommend queueing with friends for this one, as you'll most likely finish out the WSG meta before this achievement.

Exalted used to reward players with Silverwing Battle Tabard, but now it just rewards Silverwing Sentinel.

Stormpike Guard

The Stormpike Guard is a group of dwarves fighting in Alterac Valley under imperial orders of King Magni Bronzebeard to find artifacts about their past.

It is extremely easy to gain rep in this large battleground; doing quests and killing both NPCs and players will grant rep.

Exalted players receive Hero of the Stormpike Guard.

The League of Arathor

The League of Arathor is a group of Stromguardian humans trying to reclaim Arathi Basin for their allies in Stormwind.

Players gain 10 reputation every 160 resources (150 on holiday weekends) in Arathi Basin.

Exalted players level 60+ can access Control Five Bases, which rewards them with Arathor Battle Tabard. Players also earn Knight of Arathor.

Horde ForcesThe ConquerorFrostwolf Clan

The Frostwolf Clan is a group of orcs practicing shamanism in Alterac Valley--they are very upset by the dwarves effort to use the sacred zone for resources.

It is extremely easy to gain rep in this large battleground; doing quests and killing both NPCs and players will grant rep.

Exalted players receive Hero of the Frostwolf Clan.

The Defilers

The Defilers are a group of Forsaken in Hammerfall trying to secure Arathi Basin for Horde resources.

Players gain 10 reputation every 160 resources (140 on holiday weekends) in Arathi Basin.

Exalted players level 60+ can access Take Five Bases, which rewards them with Battle Tabard of the Defilers. Players also earn The Defiler.

Warsong Outriders

The Warsong Outriders, formerly led by Grommash Hellscream, try to defend their logging camps against the protests of the Alliance.

As the title suggests, this guide makes for a good overview. Used as check list and a basic start for all the reps in the game people can get a 1,000 foot view of what is ahead of them and the potential rewards. There are some details missing which make getting some of these reps much much much easier, but seeing as this is Wowhead, and the guide links all the reps to their actually database page, users can go check comments for additional information.

As for formatting the tabs are listed chronologically, which is kinda cool. I don't know if guild rep should be at the front. Maybe before the "other" section. That is just personal preference I guess.

Content: 7/10
Formatting: 9/10

Overal Rating: 7/10

Comment by Jollygood

FYI, it is still buggy. My guild has every reputation achievement except the last one. That means we have exalted in all the raids, all the pvp, and are only lacking in oddball ones like Bloodsail, Ravenholt and Shendralar. Jot them all down on a piece of paper and we should have United Nations by now.

Comment by qaccy

Just wanna point one thing out here really quick: Like every other faction with a reputation bar, the Bloodsail Buccaneers *do* count towards a player's total when Exalted is reached. Not quite sure why this guide says they don't. Perhaps this could be fixed?

Comment by Jurodice

Thank you! Was just saying to a guildie the other day that I couldn't find a decent guide to 50 exalted reputations.

Comment by Andorana

A nice guide which pulls it together.

However, as of 4.3.0 the information on Darkmoon Faire is significantly out of date. Reputation with the Faire is now easily available through one-time, daily, monthly, profession related & turn-in quests mostly for 250 or 350 reputation per quest. The biggest limitation is that the Faire is only around 1 week per month.

More information is available in the Wowhead guide Darkmoon Island, Let the Adventure Begin!

Comment by karatechop

sitting on 52 now...thanks for the guide! will help very much

Comment by 692664

For those looking for Steamwheedle rep:

If you've done the Tanaris quests before cata, there's new quests to do now (obvious, but I've got to start somewhere).
The initial quests do not provide reputation with Steamwheedle Cartel, but doing them unlocks quests that do give you some rep.
So if you haven't done youre post-cata Tanaris questing: make sure to do them all, there's some quests which give you +250 rep. And that's a lot of pirates...

Comment by Yoshiho

I will try to get as much as possible at level 80. As always, my personal achievement is to do something right before it's getting to easy, fe. on level 90.

Comment by Adeleid

Very well broken down and organized. Thank you! Looking forward to the MoP tab :)

Comment by Hemingray

For completeness' sake, there are two other reputations that were removed in vanilla WoW that should be mentioned:

Wildhammer Clan (Alliance) - Some truly dedicated players killed thousands upon thousands of trolls in the Hinterlands to get exalted with the original vanilla Wildhammer Clan, only to have the reputation removed in patch 2.0.1. This faction was re-introduced in Cataclysm, but under a different faction ID.

Revantusk Tribe (Horde) - This faction was added in patch 1.5 and removed in patch 1.11. If a Level 60 Horde player were to complete all the quests with the Revantusk trolls, they could reach 340/3000 neutral with them. Source: http://www.wowwiki.com/Revantusk_tribe

Comment by 503532

I just wanted to point out an error in this guide.

The Anglers is listed twice. The first heading for The Anglers describes reputation and awards for the August Celestials.

Alphabetically this section can be moved below the next section, which IS for The Anglers, and renamed so as to include The August Celestials in the guide. Newcomers may be confused with the guide as is, if they came here to learn about grinding reputation for either faction.

Comment by jarycu

Are you going to add the Shahao reputation to the guide? I'm currently grinding for it on the Timeless Isle and I know it's been there for a while, but I'm not sure how long.

Comment by Gwalchgwyn

Pretty pointless guide in my opinion. Only gives vague information on how to increase rep. I suppose its good if you just want an general idea of whether you want to grind a certain rep or not, but for someone like me who has done pretty much every rep grind, the information in this guide is nowhere near enough. No tips or tricks, hardly any interesting historical facts about certain factions. Pretty useless for someone like me.

Comment by 1058762

Don't forget the anniversary rep & xp increase buff. this usually falls together with pilgrim's event so that's double reputation. very handy :D

Comment by 1261267

Very nice

Comment by Giawiigi

There is a typo. When it talks about the Angler's and the Aug. Celestials you have BOTH of those article's titles as "The Anglers". The one which should read "The August Celestials is right above the Anglers' paragraph.

Comment by GrayFox84

Many Thanks For This Complete Guide...

Comment by Diablox

Very nice guide as an overview. Using as a checklist :)

Comment by 1328860

awesome guide, thanks alot. just few more reps to go from now on :)

Comment by blarrkey

First entry in the MoP factions section should be "The August Celestials," not "The Anglers." Cheers! :-)

Comment by 650159

For the Syndicate the highest your reputation can go is 0/3000 neutral. Killing the npc's is tedious as they're on a 6.5 minute timer, and there are less than 30 total mobs so you're going to get less than 200 rep per 7 minutes if you're doing it on time every time even counting the new ghost mob in the basement.

Was pretty fun to do though, and now after mogging my gear to look like theirs I can RP walk through Strom, and confuse the hell out of new players who wonder why a skull mob is hanging around a level 20 questing zone. Good times.

Comment by peanutboobs

There is some extra information about the netherwing rep, Netherspite the dragon boss in karazhan, drops the hard to find netherwing eggs. He drops 1-3 which is 300-900 Rep as a human.

Comment by alquimistab

nice

Comment by 712374

Quick way to earn reputation with a City Tabard of Exodar for example is to equip it and run The Mechanar normal instance multiple times.

It's very quick, as the instance has two portals and one of them is at the last boss so resetting is extremely quick. A run grants 2000+ reputation within around 6 minutes (Enhancement Shaman). It would be even more quicker with a class with more suitable AoE (Arcane Mage, anyone?).

For Enhancement, you can't use Fire Nova as not many mobs have enough HP to endure Flame Shocks and using Magma Totem doesn't allow you to earn reputation from kills.

Comment by WyzrdX

OK I am not one to get every item to boost rep or stuff like that. I just don a tabbard and hit a dungeon in whatever area I happen to be in providing the dungeon allows rep gains.

That said I wanted to finish my rep with Thunder Bluff of which I was about 4k into revered which means I had about 17K remaining til Exalted.

I was in Ulduar farming and when I finished I emptied my bags and decided to run a few normal Halls of Lightning with my Thunder Bluff Tabard equipped.

OK so I started the first run and killed every mob as I came to it. Each awards 15 Reputation and 300 for the Bosses. The only exceptions are the Slag which award 1 rep point but they also re-spawn in like 30 sec. allowing for a very tedious grind if you so desire. The other exception are the Stormforged Giant which award 30 rep but there are only 2 inside. All told I gained approx 2850 rep in like 18 min. Not great although not the worst I have seen either. But 18 min for 2850 rep and about 250 gold was a waste. That would amount to 8550 rep and about 750 gold in an hour.

Now I know there are others that would give higher rep gains and gold as well I figured I would find another and not waste my time, until I ran back out.

Running back the way I came I pulled aggro on one of the aforementioned Slag and just kept running. I got back to the entrance and behold the Slag was still coming. Then I remembered the aggro for the LK Dungeons used to stay until you left the instance. Unlike the newer ones where you can drop aggro and they will run back. So I decided to test and see what happens if I tried to gather them all up and AOE them down.

Back in I went. I ran as close to mobs as needed to aggro them on a lvl 100 Feral Druid, and just kept running I pulled everything in the first chamber and second (1st and 2nd boss) then AOE'd them down. Took only 2:20 to grab everything and 3 swipes to kill. Then off to the remaining 2 bosses and trash.

All told, in 6 min I got 2857 Reputation and ~220g. Add another min to empty bags and reset instance and you have 7 min for 2850 rep (will vary based on the slags you pull as they award 1 rep ea.). That is approx 8 runs per hour and could easily net 21+k rep and 2+k gold.

Since I didnt need a full 21k rep I was able to get ~17k rep in about 35 min on top of about 1100g. not bad imho.

Comment by CasCassCasch

As of patch 6.1:
Silverwing Sentinels
- The reputation reward for capping a flag is now 100.
- The reputation reward for winning is now 100.

League of Arathor:
- 50 rep per 150

Hi i earn exalted reputation with saberstalkers in draneor but i dont got the accivement Savage Frients why? the rep in tannan dosent count?

Comment by soulstorming

Thank you for this guide! Great quick-view for the player still learning about building reputations in the game, like myself.

Comment by Lrodvun

I am very inclined to comments just to say thank you for the guide. This would be my greatest dictionary online. Haha. Keep it alive please.

Thank you.

Comment by UnholyoneSP

Black Prince:

As of Patch 6.2.2 ( I believe ) you can NO LONGER gain ANY reputation from Isle of Thunder.
You only gain 500 Rep/week from one of the celestials on timeless isle.

Comment by dicci

Just wanted to check, is the Gelkan Clan rep no longer obtainable at all? If so, should it not be classed as removed? The Shen'dralar rep still shows up in my rep list under 'classic' despite being unobtainable.
If there is another way to get the Gelkan clan rep, then I'd love to know as I don't have it! I've got 77 reps done with 2 of them being removed... not many to go!

Comment by gunsotsu

this guide has a few errors

1- first off, i am already at 65/70 reps exalted and that doesn't include most pvp reps (only 1 exalted) and all reps from wod and legion.
2- you forgot the black prince whose rep was also removed from game.

therefore, imo it is entirely possible to hit 100 exalted reps before or once bfa launches.

Comment by gunsotsu

can this guide be downvoted? and possibly forcibly deleted?

should be ashamed of yourself for making this guide!

baradins wardens also has the drake mount..which you fail to mention.

Comment by 869731

I have a question regarding the Steamweedle Cartel. If I had been exalted with all, but then lost the rep due to BloodSail, do I need to regrind them for credit toward the 100 rep achievement?

Comment by lwfpower

about Black Prince reputation...Mogu enemies on the isle of thunder gives 25~50 rep so it's easy to get to exalted in less than 1 hour farming around the middle of the map close to diremoor. Hope it helps ~8.0~

Comment by MollyMoonwell

Wrynn's Vanguard and Vol'jin's Spear are no longer obtainable with the drop of 8.0.1

Comment by Dreadalous

So I just ran both AQ raids ( Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj ) and it seems Blizzard have removed to rep from trash and first boss in Temple The Prophet Skeram. I cannot fathom why but the only reason I can think of is something a guildy mentioned when I told them about the nerf. They suspect it could be related to Battle for Azeroth as there are elements of Old Gods in there. This I find a loose connection but the only plausible one I can see. Seems rediculous Blizzard have to to do things like this to old content.

On a side note the bosses in Ruins gave far LESS rep than before. I believe they used to all give about 100. Now it's about 60 (except for Ossirian the Unscarred who still gives over 100 rep).

And for any veteran rep farmers out there around the zone where Ossirian is, killing the summoned trash from the large Obsidian Humanoid/Egyptian Jackal mobs no longer gives rep so farming rep that way (which took long but faster than weekly reset farms) is no longer viable. DAMN YOU BLIZZ!

Comment by ForsakenDima

Pretty excellent guide! Very well written and detailed -- great resource for folks trying to grind older reputations from past expansions.

Comment by SpakyTwo

Under boosts, I didn't see Sign of the Emissary which says

"Sign of the Emissary

Comment by Momoly

Rodent Crate is a notable item which costs 200 marks but spawns the capturable pet Sumprush Rodent.

It is 2000 not 200 :)

Comment by shibbidyshwa

Vol'jin's Spear for Horde, and Wrynn's Vanguard for Alliance are no longer obtainable. Ashran is no longer a battleground and the Medallion of the Legion doesn't give rep for those factions any longer, either.

Comment by 1256405

Hi every one! I haven't played World of Warcraft in between 4-5 years, according to my account when I renewed my subscription last night. I feel VERY lost, and am very thankful for this site, and my new friend who told me about it on the game. To sum it up when I logged in and i had 2,000 gold left over in my inventory I was happy and impressed and thought that was a lot to have left my self. I was very wrong. My question is: Can I please get some feedback on which sanction is best to get reputation points for now a days? I'm currently a level 90 Balance Druid on Kargath server. I asked general chat if a lvl 90 was worth using the lvl 110 token on and 2-3 people said no and only 1 said yes, so i've yet to use my token. I used to have Golden Lotus as my favorite, and the one I get rep for by doing dungeons; but I don't remember why. Please, and Thank you SO much in advance for any help on who to get reputation with. I feel so very confused and over-whelmed.

-Elementall (Bloodwrath#1746)

Comment by Yrayl

Please note:
Profile's on WoW's website are missing the following reputations from their list:

Emperor Shaohao
Pearlfin Jinyu/ Forest Hozen
Dragonmaw Clan/ Wildhammer Clan
Knights of the Ebon Blade
Tushui Pandaren/ Huojin Pandaren

As a result, these will not show completed in your Wowhead profiler.

Comment by Yrayl

With the 8.1 Reputation changes Tranquillien does NOT cancel out with Wintersaber reputation

This is how we verified:

On a new account:

Created a Horde toon, and only quested through Ghostlands, getting exalted with Tranquillien in the process.

Created an Alliance toon and completed the quests for Wintersaber Trainers, hitting exalted

On the Alliance toon who had only Wintersaber's at exalted the 5 Exalted Reputations Achievement tracker shows 2/5.
On the Horde toon who had only Tranquillien at exalted the tracker showed 2/5.

Progress Notes:

This had actually been the source of some confusion for several of the people in the Achievements Discord and on the forums, because after 8.1 hit we had magical reputations added to our counter that no one could find on any toon. We then considered the possibility that Tranquillien and Wintersabers were not actually cancelling each other out as we long assumed they were. After all, they have two entirely different quest lines, are from two different expansions, and when you change factions you don't automatically switch from one to the other unless you've completed the quest line.

We had a couple of people who hadn't done the Tranquillien quest line ever, and after they completed it the counter on their Alliance toon's achievement tracker went up.
To bar any other possibility we did the above on a new account, et voila, a magical mystery reputation solved.

P.S. There is still another magical mystery reputation that many of us have, and we are still working on solving that. The current theory is that the hidden, "parent" Alliance/Horde rep's are now counting toward the Achievements (whereas before 8.1 they did not). There was once an addon that made the hidden reputations visible, but it hasn't been updated since, like 2008? We are currently using the new account to verify, but if anyone who doesn't/hasn't EVER gotten all of the city reps to exalted wants to do so and then check if they have an extra reputation on their tracker...we'd love to know!

Comment by Haggersta

I have been looking for clarification about cross-faction and cross-realm achievements with regard to reputation.

I have almost exclusively played Horde on 1 server but recently made an alliance toon on another server and wondered if the faction grinding I do will count towards the Exalted Rep achievement. Mousing over the shield in the top right corner of the achievement says progess on any of your characters will count - but I just reached exalted on an alliance city faction and the count didn't alter. I don't think I'm mis-remembering and will shortly be able to confirm either way as I'm almost exalted with a 2nd city faction.

Does anyone know for sure?

Comment by Lailyrin

IMPORTANT info for people working on this in/after BFA!

The Horde/Alliance alternatives for BFA only count 1 time (which I think is a load of bull).

Here is a link to a page addressing the question (https://www.wowhead.com/news=287263/clarifications-on-account-wide-reputations-in-tides-of-vengeance).

And here is a quote directly from it. "... if you have exalted 7th Legion on your Alliance character, and exalted with Honorbound on your Horde. Then your account only has credit for 1 of those 2 reps in the achievement tracker. Account wise they're the same rep."

Comment by Locantos

Finally I EU-Madmortem Locantos finished from classic to BfA all reputation farms and have now 109 factions on exalted.

Addtionally I have farmed, when it was possbile in the past, also the 4 header factions like
- Classic:
Alliance (for Alliance players)
(for Horde players it would be Horde )
Steamwheedle Cartel
- The Burning Crusade:
Shattrath City
- Wrath of the Lich King:
Sholazar Basin

There was the addon HiddenReputations, that made them visible

I also have the 24 reputations on maximum as best friend, time lord and wingman.

So overall I have capped 127 reputations and most important all on this one character only.

Comment by datgrl

Any reputation that requires a 'turn in' like Scryers/Aldor needs to have the name and location of the NPC where you turn in the items.

Comment by datgrl

There needs to be a lot more info for Brood of Nozdormu. There's no explanation of the loot (based on class), and where the NPC's are stationed for the rep turn-ins. It's very sparse and not real helpful.

Comment by datgrl

Good info on the Bloodsail rep but I came here looking specifically for Steamwheedle/Booty Bay/Gadgetstan/Everlook. Do those count individually or is it all lumped under Steamwheedle for 1 rep?

Comment by octnoir

Should add that Timewalking weeks now give you 50% rep buff for the associated expansion that is being Timewalked (so BC, Wrath, Cata, MoP, WoD). I don't think they apply to all reputations, but they do to most in that expansion.

Comment by fiercefiona

Can any of the rep buffs stack? Whee! and Darkmoon Fair hat can not. Does the Guild Battle Standard work with either of them?

Comment by Misztik

forest hozen doesnt count it on reputation achievement :@@@@

Comment by xaeljin

Laughing Skull and Sha'tari Defense do not count toward 100 reps.
I am also unsure about Operation Shieldwall/Dominance Offensive.
If you have Oracles at exalted, don't bother with Frenzyheart, it will not count (toward the 100) unless you just want the achieve for doing both.

I am stuck at 99/100. So whatever hits first Rajani or Uldum will knock me to 100 :(.

I wish people would be less concerned with being 'that person who posted some info' before actually factchecking their information. So many of these 'guides' have incorrect info on them and cause people to waste a lot of time.

Comment by Madmartigan666

You get "The Admired" title since BFA at 80 Exalted Reputations.

Comment by bonesoul

you can track most of these reputations progress at once here.

Comment by Kareboo

Frostwolf Orcs are on this list as part of the 100 but last night I grinded out the last 6k I needed to get exalted and it did not count towards my 100. I was at 96 and I am still at 96.
Edit: Check your Dreanor achievements if you think Frostwolf Orcs didnt count. I found that I did have the credit for them, even though I checked every character I have and none of them were exalted before I finished my grind. I did think it was weird how I reached exalted but got no achievement for it upon completion. I went through every character, both factions, to see if I had the rep maxed or the equivalent. Extra weird that the achievement says I hit exalted with them in July 2024 when I was on a break from the game, so check your achievements.

Comment by Kareboo

Right now during the WoW's 20th Anniversary event, you can purchase the previously removed Zandalar Tribe rep tokens from one of the vendors, Bobadormu, for 50 timewalking badges each, so get them while you can! He also sells Thorium Brotherhood, Argent Dawn, Timbermaw, Hydraxian Waterlords and Brood of Nozdormu.
