Reputations

n Azeroth, players will encounter many different factions throughout the world. By completing certain quests or killing certain creatures, players are able to gain favor with some of these factions. Gaining reputation with certain factions allows players to purchase items or undertake quests that are unavailable to other players.

Players can check their reputation with other factions by pressing "U" on the keyboard.
Listed below are the different reputation levels:


[How bout a truce?]


[Time for revenge]

stupid spirit healer gave me
durability loss and rez sickness
I should rez her then kill her
- Highest level of accolade attainable with a faction
- Special reputation level reserved for special heroes
- 10% discount on bought items from vendors
- Standard reputation level for factions on a players team
- Standard reputation level for factions not on a players team that are not KOS
- Cannot buy, sell, or interact
- Kill on Sight
- Kill on Sight; all opposing team factions are set permanently to this level

Affecting one faction can potentially ripple through and affect others that are connected. For example, killing a goblin in Gadgetzan will anger the goblins of Ratchet and Booty Bay.

Burning Crusade Factions

This is a temporary section until our Burning Crusade reputations index is completed:

Hellfire Peninsula

Honor Hold stands to the south of both the Path of Glory and Hellfire Citadel. After the Second War, an expedition was sent through the Dark Portal to put an end to the orcish threat once and for all. Led by the valiant General Turalyon and the archmage Khadgar, the expedition did its best to fulfill its mission, waging fierce battles on the orcs of Draenor. Yet when reckless magic began to tear Draenor apart, the expedition members had to sacrifice their only chance of returning home by closing the Draenor end of the Dark Portal. Back on Azeroth, the expedition members were honored for their sacrifice and presumed dead.

The Horde's newly established base of operations in Hellfire Peninsula is Thrallmar, which overlooks the Path of Glory and Hellfire Citadel from the north. Shortly after arriving in Outland, a Horde expeditionary force set up this new base, but they were soon cut off from Azeroth by Legion forces that moved in to retake the Dark Portal. Now the people of Thrallmar are caught between a rock and a hard place.

  • More information on here.

    Hellfire PvP

    You can earn Honor Hold (Alliance) and Thrallmar (Horde) tokens by slaying enemy players near the PvP capture points. In Hellfire Peninsula, these locations are The Overlook, The Stadium, and Broken Hill, located near the center of the region. You also can gain tokens by completing a repeatable quest to capture all three of the towers. The questgivers for the repeatable quests can be found in Honor Hold and Thrallmar.
  • Check Hellfire Token Rewards.
  • Check our Outland World PvP Guide for more information.

    In addition, Honor Hold and Thrallmar tokens can be gained by fighting enemy players in Zangarmarsh. You will gain a token for each enemy player you defeat in the vicinity of the Twin Spire Ruins.

    Cenarion Expedition

    The Cenarion Circle's main expeditionary force in Outland is known as the Cenarion Expedition. Though it began as a small venture controlled directly by the Cenarion Circle, the expedition has become a large and fairly autonomous body. The expedition is based at Cenarion Refuge in the far east of Zangarmarsh, immediately west of Thornfang Hill in Hellfire Peninsula.

    Sporeggar

    In the far west of Zangarmarsh, nestled between Marshlight Lake and the Spawning Glen, lies Sporeggar, the village of the sporelings. The sporelings, a mostly peaceful race of mushroom-men native to Outland, are facing numerous threats to their quiet way of life.

    Zangarmarsh PvP Rewards

By wresting control of the Twin Spire Ruins from the opposing faction in Zangarmarsh, you can get access to nice rewards.

    The Kurenai/The Mag'har

    The Kurenai are a group of Broken who have escaped the grasp of their various slavers in Outland. They recently took possession of Telaar, a town in the far south of Nagrand. Unlike many other Broken, the Kurenai are trying their best to overcome their demonic taint. Nevertheless, despite their noble intent, the Kurenai are cautious toward all outsiders, who sometimes mistake the Kurenai for their wretched brethren. A number of Kurenai also dwell in Zangarmarsh at the Orebor Harborage, where they are trying to strengthen the ties between the draenei at Telredor and the Kurenai home city of Telaar. Yet the path of the Kurenai's destiny is long and dangerous, and many threats lurk on the winding road ahead... quite literally. In order for messengers to pass swiftly between Telaar and Telredor, the roads of Zangarmarsh must be secured. The task will prove difficult, considering the marsh's abundance of mostly aggressive wildlife.

    South of Zangarmarsh lie the grassy plains of Nagrand, homeland of the orcs. Travelers following the northeastern roads of Nagrand will come upon a settlement of brown-skinned orcs: a place called Garadar. This village belongs to the Mag'har, a group of orcs who managed to escape any form of demonic corruption. Though they endured great change, the Mag'har have retained their traditional way of life. Nonetheless, the Mag'har are far from safe.

    Aldor and Scryers

    Shattrath was once the draenei capital of Draenor. Its name means "dwelling of light." When the Burning Legion turned the orcs against the draenei, the fiercest battle was fought there. The draenei fought tooth and nail, but in the end, the city fell. The city was left in ruins and darkness until the Sha'tar arrived. The Sha'tar, whose name means "born from light", are the naaru who came to Outland to fight the demons of the Burning Legion. The naaru were drawn to the ruins of Shattrath City, where a small remnant of the draenei priesthood conducted its rites inside a ruined temple. The priesthood, known as the Aldor, quickly regained its strength as word of the Sha'tar's arrival spread. Reconstruction of Shattrath was soon underway. It wouldn't be long, however, before the city came under attack once again.

    This time, the attack came from the armies of Illidan Stormrage. A large regiment of blood elves had been sent by Illidan's ally, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, to lay waste to the city. As the regiment of blood elves crossed the bridge, the Aldor's exarchs and vindicators lined up to defend the Terrace of Light. Then the unexpected happened: the blood elves laid down their weapons in front of the city's defenders. Their leader, a blood elf elder known as Voren'thal, stormed into the Terrace of Light and demanded to speak to the naaru A'dal. As the naaru approached him, Voren'thal knelt and uttered the following words: "I've seen you in a vision, naaru. My race's only hope for survival lies with you. My followers and I are here to serve you."

    Lower City

Populated by the refugees from the many wars that have wracked Outland, it is home to a diverse array of beings who owe allegiance to no group. Adventurers can gain reputation by doing quests located in Lower City itself, as well as aiding citizens of Lower City in other places, such as the Refugee Caravan in the Bone Wastes.

    Bone Wastes PvP

    The PvP objectives in Terokkar Forest are centered around five towers in the Bone Wastes, the blasted area around Auchindoun.

Spirit Shards are a 100% drop off of boss monsters within the 4 wings of Auchindoun, and each player can loot their own shard from the boss. These shards can be turned in at Spirit Sage NPCs in Allerian Stronghold and Stonebreaker Hold for PvP based rewards, including Meta Gems.

    Steamwheedle Cartel
    At Honored reputation you receive a 10% discount on vendor purchases.

    Bloodsail Buccaneers
    The main benefit of this reputation is to gain access to a special captain's hat. To gain reputation with this faction, you will have to sacrifice your faction with the Steamwheedle Cartel. This can become an issue if you want to go to one of the Goblin cities without being attacked by the guards.

    Hydraxian Waterlords
    This is the main faction for the Molten Core. There are a few other monsters such as Lord Incendius in Blackrock Depths and Pyroguard Emberseer in Upper Blackrock Spire that also give reputation. Killing Desert Rumblers, Dust Stormers, and Hurricanian found in Silithus improves your reputation with the Waterlords, as does killing Greater Obsidian Elementals in the Burning Steppes.

    The main reward for this faction is to allow you to get a permanent, non-consumable version of Aqual Quintessence. Before this was available you had to go to Azshara every week to gather one to summon Majordomo Executus.

    Wintersaber Trainers
    This faction allows you to get a special purplish cat mount. Rivern Frostwind, (Wintersaber Trainers) awaits adventures atop Frostsaber Rock North West of Everlook. He will then give you a series of quests depending on your reputation.

    The Rest
    Look at the menu at the top of the page for all of the reputations with rewards. The rest of the factions you may find have no rewards except to become friendly (non attackable) with the faction in question and count toward achievements. It's always possible that rewards could be added sometime in the future - like for example, rewards were added to the Argent Dawn.
