Common Questions

How many reputations are there in WoW Forever?

The client carries 51 reputations a player can gain, and 14 of them are new in Forever and absent from Classic.

Where are the new reputations?

Most sit in the four new zones: the Guardians of Hyjal and Barkskin Burrow on Mount Hyjal, the Windshapers, High Order and Nightclaw Druids on Zephras Isle, the Bolder'ok Clan and Powderfuse in the Riverglades, and two opposing PvP factions on the Darkspear Islands. A few, such as the Kirin Tor and the Earthen Ring, span the world instead.

How does reputation work?

The same way it does in Classic: quests, kills, and faction activities build standing over time. Forever keeps that structure and adds new factions and new ways to earn with them.

Does reputation feed the Legacy system?

Yes. Legacy Challenges include PvP reputation entries, so raising those factions moves your Legacy progress along.
