World Of Warcraft Reputations: Basics

In 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:

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.

Reputation options

• You can click on a faction in the reputation pane to get additional details/options.
• You can display one of your reputations on your main display where your experience bar currently displays. If you are not level 70 it displays two thin bars - experience and reputation.
• You can mark any of your factions as "Inactive". These factions will be moved to the bottom of your reputation pane in a callout that is closed by default.
• You can declare war on a faction in the reputation UI while you are in combat.

How can I change my reputation?

• Complete certain quests
• Kill certain monsters
