The Burning Crusade Classic Faction and Reputation Guide

In the new (old) addon The Burning Crusade Classic, players will once again step through the Dark Portal and find themselves in the world of Outland — the homeland of orcs and ogres. The once prosperous world was destroyed by the first Lich King, Ner’zhul. Illidan Stormrage, with his naga and the other factions the player will face, now survives on the shards of civilization.

For completing quests and killing enemies of a certain faction, we will receive its reputation. A high level of reputation will give you certain privileges. But be careful: some factions are in conflict with each other, and gaining reputation with one faction means losing it with an opposing faction.

In this guide, we’ll spotlight all the ways to gain reputation, rewards, and discuss other pitfalls.

Interface

The scale of relations with a particular faction is located in the Reputation interface. You can find it at the bottom of the UI — Character interface ( default keybind c). Click the middle tab at the bottom of the Character interface to see your Reputation interface. Or just use default hotkey u for it. Scroll it down to see all The Burning Crusade Reputations, but some of them will not appear until you face them during the gameplay.

The Reputation Bar for each faction indicates your current standing with that faction. It also shows you the amount of experience you need to reach the next level of relationship. There are 8 levels of reputation in total:

Hated. Points required 0 — 36000. Kill on sight. Enemy city and PvP factions are set to this permanently.
Hostile. Points required 36000 — 39000. Kill on sight.
Unfriendly. Points required 39000 — 42000. Unable to buy, sell or interact with members.
Neutral. Points required 42000 — 45000. Starting standing for general factions.
Friendly. Points required 45000 — 51000. Starting standing for factions of allied cities.
Honored. Points required 51000 — 63000. 10% discount on items from their vendors.
Revered. Points required 63000 —84000.
Exalted. Points required 84000. Highest attainable ranking. Access to special perks like mounts and tabards.

Clicking on a reputation will open a short Reputation description and three checkbox options:

At War: When checked, this allows you to attack members of that faction if they are not already hostile toward you. Killing members of a faction will reduce your standing with them.
Move to Inactive: When checked, the Reputation Bar is removed from the list under its expansion, and added to an Inactive list at the very bottom of the Reputations list.
Show as Experience Bar: When checked, this adds the Reputation bar to your UI directly above your Experience Bar.

This last feature is very useful. For example, let’s say you want to enter a heroic dungeon. To do this, you need a Quartermaster Key. You can only purchase a key from him if you have a reputation of Revered (Honored in a future phase) or higher with his faction.
