Note: You should first read the offical WoW Reputation page.

What is Reputation [used for]?
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 Orgrimmar (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, Alliance Forces, Horde Forces, and Steamwheedle Cartel are the only Teams currently in the game. Alliance and Horde forces contain Factions for the NPCs in Silverwing Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds. “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 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�?.

Reputation spillover cannot be gained for any faction above 6000/12000 into honored. If a quest would normally give a spillover adjustment to a faction and it is above this point, no faction adjustment will be shown or given to that faction.


 * I figured that the spillover to other factions in the same team is 50% of the reputation gained towards the primary faction.
 * For example: If you kill pirates near Ratchet with a low level you will get 5 reputation points for "Ratchet" and 2 for "Booty Bay", 2 for "Everlook" and 2 for "Gadgetzan". Next time it is 5 for "Ratchet" again but 3/3/3 for the other 3 factions. Then again 5/2/2/2 and so on.

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.

The same reduction counts for reputation gain by kills. Meaning killing grey monsters will give you the minimum amount of reputation which is 1 point.

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.

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?
From info at the official site on Reputation.

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: Reputation.

In the 1.8 Patch Blizzard will add the actual repuation gained in the combat window and show your numbers on the reputation tab if you mouse over the bar. test realm patch notes

Note: Reputation shown in combat window for 1.8 patch does not cover the actual distribution of points per team for each faction. EX. Steamweedle reputation has increased slightly (75 rep) but will not show you gained 75 for booty bay, 50 for everlook, 50 for gadgetzan and 50 for ratchet.

How many Reputation Points are there for each level?
Exalted only has 1000 points and reputation caps at 999.

Note: This means it takes 21000 rep points to get from neutral to revered standing and another 21000 to get from revered to exalted .

Does the state of the quest (color) effect the Reputation gain from the quest?
Does the state of the quest ( Grey / Green / Yellow / Orange / Red ) 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?
Does the state of the Reputation-raising mob ( Grey / Green / Yellow / Orange / Red ) 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. Other restrictions are that Mechanostriders are rideable only by Gnomes and Dwarves, and Taurens can only ride Kodos ,Dropped/Reward Mounts and with patch 1.8 wolves.


 * Dropped/Reward Mounts
 * Deathcharger's Reins - Known as Baron Rivendare's Mount - Drop: UD Strath
 * Horn of the Frostwolf Howler - Reward: AV
 * Swift Zulian Tiger - Drop: ZG
 * Swift Razzashi Raptor - Drop: ZG

With Patch 1.8 Tauren can now ride wolves provided they are exalted with Orgrimmar

Patch 1.7: Zul'gurub has brought about 2 new mounts that can be used by alliance and horde
 * Swift Zulian Tiger - Like NE mount (colored orange and black with green armor plating)
 * Swift Razzashi Raptor - Like Troll mount (colored green and yellow with red armor plating)

With patch 1.5 you can gain reputation by killing and looting the other faction's races in Alterac Valley. You will get a proof of their dead which is used for a repeatable turn-in quest in your base, which will give you reputation for the respective Alliance or Horde Faction. The respective races are:

Night Elf - Troll

Dwarf - Orc

Human - Undead

Gnome - Tauren

An additional way to gain reputation are the new cloth quartermasters found in the three capital cities (2 in Orgrimmar and Ironforge) where you could turn in Cloth to gain reputation. You have to turn in 60 Wool Cloth, 60 Silk Cloth and 60 Mageweave a single time, then you could repeatably turn in 20 Runecloth.

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?
Honor does not effect Reputation.

If you're at least PvP Rank 3 you will have a 10% discount on all NPC vendors of the Alliance/Horde.

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.

Ravenholdt
An assassin guild opposed to the Syndicate. Seems like it might only be possible for a rogue to gain Reputation with them. Their headquarters are located in Arathi Highlands, but to get there you have to come from the northeast corner of Hillsbrad.

So far there is no way to get above Friendly, and no reward for obtaining Friendly.

Level 52 Winstone Wolfe: Very slightly Increase (+1 rep) to Syndicate, slightly decrease to Ravenholdt

Level 57 Elite Myrokos Silentform: Very slightly Increase (+6 rep) to Syndicate, decrease to Ravenholdt

(In fact, the real profit seems to be +5, but I assume that the additional +1 came from the human bonus.)

Level 60 Lord Jorach Ravenholdt: Very slightly Increase (+1 rep) to Syndicate, slightly decrease to Ravenholdt

Level 60 Fahrad: Very slightly Increase (+1 rep) to Syndicate, slightly decrease to Ravenholdt

Level 60 Zan Shivsproket: Very slightly Increase (+1 rep) to Syndicate, slightly decrease to Ravenholdt

Level 45 Smudge Thunderwood: Very slightly Increase (+1 rep) to Syndicate, slightly decrease to Ravenholdt

The decrease amounts vary depending on your initial standing with Ravenholdt. For me at Friendly I was losing 75 for slightly decrease and 375 for decrease, and at Neutral I lost 25 for slightly and 125 for decrease.

Zandalar Tribe
These Trolls reside on Yojamba Isle in the Northern area of Stranglethorn Vale, and are the enemies of the Atal'Hakkar Trolls of Zul'Gurub. They will give quests involving Zul'Gurub. They start out at [0/3000 Neutral].

RRQ Strategies
This is a rough cut of the RRQ strategies. If you have methods that have worked for you, or clarification on how to do any of the listed strategies, feel free to ask.

Which Factions are mutually exclusive?

 * Can I be equally liked by the Bloodsail Buccaneers and Booty Bay?


 * Yes. However, to become Friendly with the Bloodsail Buccaneers you will have to lower your Booty Bay reputation until it reaches [0/36000 Hated]. Also you will lose reputation with the rest of the Steamweedle Cartel since it is a team. You will need to kill 42,000 Wastewander Bandits, SouthSea Pirates, ect. or you can do the quest in Ferelas 560 times to get to neutral with Booty Bay.


 * Do you have to be against one Centaur tribe to be liked with the other?
 * Tentatively: Yes. Since the quests for the tribes don’t give you reputation, and you lose reputation faster then you gain it, there is no way to find a balance where they like you equally after you choose one side.

Why doesn't Tazan give Ratchet Reputation?
Tazan is a quest mob for a Horde Rogue quest.

Why aren't there RRQs for some factions?
Why aren't there RRQs for Gnomeregan Exiles, Ironforge, Darkspear Trolls, Undercity, Ravenholdt, Syndicate, Bloodsail Buccaneers, Ratchet, Booty Bay, or Everlook?

Actually, there are for some. Find an Alliance/Horde Cloth Quartermaster in the capital cities where the races are, and you can take a quest to deliver 60 wool cloth, after that 60 silk cloth, after that 60 mageweave, and after that you can deliver 20 runecloth a time there for pretty fast reputation gain. For the rest there aren't any RRQs, sadly.

Draeni
There should be a new Faction “Draenor Exiles�? or “The Draenor�?. Killing Lost Ones (the crazed Draeni in the Swamp of Sorrows) could give Reputation. There could be an RRQ to get supplies from Dreanor that the Lost Ones have in their camp, or drop off the mobs like with Water Bounty and Troll Necklaces.

Emerald Circle
They can found in felwood studying the tainted/corrupted plants/animals. The mobs give some quest but the revard is just xp and no reputation. In the 1.8 patch there are 4 dragons that have been corrupted and guarding the 4 gateways into the Emerald Dream. This factions reputation will probably be activated when the Emerald Dream instance is activated. There is no confirmation by blizzard that the Emerald Dream instance will be coming in 1.8 since Silithus is coming that patch. The Emerald Dream instance is not in 1.8.

Horde / Alliance
At Revered, since there is no award currently, let us learn the language of the Faction we attained Revered with. Let Dwarves learn Darnassian, Orcs can learn Gutterspeak, etc.

Also, it would be interesting if at Revered we could learn other races dances, and have a default or extra commands set up. Gnomes doing NE dances, etc.

Ravasaur Trainers
These need to be added in, dialogue, etc.

Twilight's Hammer
Group in Slithilus and Desolace. Will these be the another Wildhammer Clan? They currently give one quest for Maraudon in Desolace.

Wildhammer Clan
Vilebranch Raiding Wolves gives no Rep. Vilebranch Warriors give no Rep. Vilebranch Wolf Pup gives no rep. Witherbark Broodguard give no rep.

Gnomeregan Exiles
RRQ Ideas:: Cleaning Gnomish items in the Clean Zone. Capturing Leper Gnomes for experimentation Capturing Fallout (1 per collection, too dangerous to get too much at once, needs cooldown because of danger in overexposure) Killing so many troggs/leper gnomes, etc. Turn in could be the gnomes in Kharanos.
