WoW Rookie: Introduction to Reputation"WoW Rookie is brought to our readers to help our newest players get acclimated to the game. Make sure you send a note to WoW Insider if you have suggestions for what new players need to know. As a social game, it's fun to make friends in an MMORPG environment. In World of Warcraft, you must also make friends (and sometimes enemies) with members of various faction groups. Reputation (rep) is gained through killing a faction's enemies and completing quests to assist a particular group. Obviously, killing member's of a particular faction reduces rep. For example, killing Bloodsail Pirates increases rep with Booty Bay (Steamwheedle Cartel), while decreasing rep with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. There are many reasons why we may increase or decrease reputations. You may be asked to do so to as a quest objective or to gain particular rewards. By gaining exalted reputation with the major cities you have access to purchase their racial mounts (provided your they may be scaled to your racial model) and their guild tabards. Higher levels of rep also allow discounts on goods and repair services from vendors, and higher prices for selling useless items. For the next couple of weeks, we'll be taking a look at the ins and outs of reputation on WoW Rookie. Your starting reputation varies from faction to faction. For example, when you first venture into Shatrath you are neutral with Lower City, Aldor and Scryers. You can venture into any part of the city. You are forced to pick a side between Aldor and Scryers and eventually rep up with one and rep down with the other (after completing a painfully long and boring follow quest that teaches you a little bit about Shattrath Lore). If you pick sides with Aldor, you will be attacked on sight if you venture into the Scryer's area. or wow You only rep up with Lower City. The levels of reputation are as follows: Hated- You will be attacked on sight by NPCs that hate you. You must watch your aggro radius around aggressive hated mobs. world of warcraft powerleveling Hostile- It takes 36,000 reputation points to move from hated to hostile. You will still be attacked on sight by hostile mobs. Unfriendly- To go from hostile to unfriendly you must accumulate 3,000 reputation points. wow po Unfriendly NPCs will not attack unless you attack them first, but you cannot buy or sell to them either. Neutral- An additional 3,000 reputation after unfriendly to get to neutral.
