Battle for Azeroth Reputations Guide (BfA 8.2)

Reputations are a very important part of progressing your character in the Battle for Azeroth. Reputations unlock Allied Races when you complete exalted with either 7th Legion or The Honorbound along with the Ready for War (Alliance) / Ready for War (Horde) achievement. As in the past, reputations must be progressed in order to unlock Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder, Part One which will immediately grant you increased movement speed within Kul Tiras and Zandalar and eventually flying later in time. In order to unlock Pathfinder, you will need to progress reputations to revered for all three of your faction's zones, the Tortollan Seekers, and the Champions of Azeroth. Reputations also unlock numerous profession recipes and patterns at honored and revered, many toys and pets at honored and revered, and several mounts and tabards at exalted reputation.

Earning reputation in Kul Tiras and Zandalar can be done by almost any activity. You will passively unlock friendly reputation with each of your faction areas as you complete quests. At maximum level, World Quests will provide many opportunities to gain reputation in small amounts for each World Quest or one large amount per daily emissary. Warfronts will provide an opportunity to progress the 7th Legion and The Honorbound by means of Warfront contribution quests. Mission table rewards can grant tokens that boost your reputation level by a small amount. Despite this bonus being granted in small amounts, it can very quickly add up to a massive bonus to your most important factions, such as Champions of Azeroth. Even pet battles can grant reputation!

Almost all quests in a zone will award reputation for that zone's faction. Be sure to go back and do all of the side quests in a zone in order to maximize your reputation gains. More reputation means more and faster access to gear and other world content. Each day, you should prioritize doing all of the World Quests that you are able to do, especially the ones in on the opposite faction's island for 7th Legion or Honorbound reputation in order to unlock the ninth Mythic dungeon and all parts of the War Campaign. Maintaining your mission table and champions will also prove to be a fruitful method of reputation acquisition as your champions and troops work passively to acquire reputation rewards while you actively earn reputation through World Quests, island expeditions, and other means!

There are special ways to increase your reputation gains with the reputations found in Kul Tiras and Zandalar even quicker! There are a few special events that should be noted for those trying to boost their reputation levels as fast as possible.

• The Darkmoon Faire provides a few perks including being able to ride the carousel and obtain the buff WHEE! which increases reputation gains by 10% for 1 hour.
• Hallow's End provides an opportunity to obtain a buff that boosts reputation gains by 10% for 2 hours by acquiring the buffs Unburdened or Grim Visage.
• The Pilgrim Bounty event has the buff The Spirit of Sharing which increases reputation gains by 10% for 1 hour.

If you were to turn in an emissary chest on a day where either the Darkmoon Faire buff was available or either of the buffs from the holiday events, your reputation reward would be boosted from 1,500 to 1,650! Stacking these events is even more beneficial!

With Patch 8.2, players will be introduced to 3 new reputations: Rustbolt Resistance, The Unshackled, and Waveblade Ankoan. Players can obtain reputation by completing quests in Mechagon for the Rustbolt Resistance and Nazjatar for The Unshackled/Waveblade Ankoan. While in Nazjatar, players can obtain Prismatic Pearls and purchase various items, such as Essences and Mounts, as they progress through their way to exalted.

Patch 8.1 has introduced new reputation items that can be purchased using Seafarer's Dubloons earned in Island Expeditions. These items can be purchased for 100 of the Seafarer's Dubloons and grant 250 of the reputation linked to the item purchased. This can be used as a great catchup mechanic for reputations needed for the primary reputations in Battle for Azeroth. The specific items can be found in each of our reputation guide pages.

Patch 8.1 added paragon reputation awards, similar to what was offered in Legion, except these caches will not contain mounts as rewards. Earning the paragon caches requires acquiring 10,000 reputation after hitting exalted. The rewards are 2,500 Azerite, 4,000+ gold, 20 Service Medals, and 500 War Resources as well as the following toys and recipes:

Champions of Azeroth Supplies can contain the toy Azerite Firework Launcher
