**Reputation? Your reputation affects how monsters or creatures will interact with you. There are different levels of reputation:**
- **Exalted**: The maximum achievable level of reputation. Upper threshold: 1000.
- **Revered**: A special level reserved for exceptional heroes. Upper threshold: 21000.
- **Honored**: 10% discount on purchases from vendors. Upper threshold: 12000.
- **Friendly**: Standard level for the player's faction. Upper threshold: 6000.
- **Neutral**: Standard level for a faction that is not the player's own. Upper threshold: 3000.
- **Unfriendly**: Cannot buy, sell, or interact. Upper threshold: 3000.
- **Hostile**: Attack on sight. Upper threshold: 3000.
- **Hated**: Attack on sight. Upper threshold: 36000.
You can check your current reputation by opening your character sheet and clicking on the "reputation" tab. What affects one faction may potentially extend beyond it and affect others connected to it. For example, killing a goblin in Gadgetzan will somewhat anger the goblins in Ratchet and Booty Bay.
**How to change your character's reputation?**
To increase your reputation, there are several methods available:
- Completing certain quests or killing specific mobs.
- Doing certain quests (often repetitive).
- Killing certain monsters (can increase reputation with one faction while decreasing it with another).
- Killing a member of a faction decreases reputation with that faction. Be cautious with unaligned factions.
**Factions:**
The Horde and the Alliance are each considered to be a "team" composed of four factions, one for each race that makes up the team. The four factions of each team are grouped under a single title. The opposing team’s factions are always at the lowest possible level of "Hated" and are always locked in "At War" mode. Characters receive a bonus to their starting reputation with their own race.
- Forsaken (undead) have a lower starting reputation with orcs, trolls, and tauren.
- Orcs, trolls, and tauren have a lower starting reputation with Forsaken (undead).
You cannot declare "War Mode" against other factions within your own team.
There are other factions in the game, some offering advantages based on your character's reputation with them. These are called "unaligned factions." Examples include: Silver Dawn, Cenarion Circle, BG factions, Booty Bay, etc.
The racial ability of humans allows them to gain 10% more reputation than other classes.
**Additional Information:**
- The "At War" checkbox allows you to attack members of a faction even if they are not initially hostile to your character. Check this box to attack members of that faction.
- When your character has high reputation with a faction (Honored or higher), they benefit from a 10% discount on items and services offered by members of that faction (except bank bag prices).
- There is a shortage of cloth resources in both the Horde and the Alliance; therefore, there are Clothmasters in each of the six major capitals (usually near the tailoring trainers). These masters will inform you about the types of cloth they seek. Depending on these donations, your character's reputation will increase according to the faction of the master they address.
- These cheap wow gold reputation gains are useful if your character wishes to be able to ride a mount from another race.
- There is a visual effect on your character when they increase their reputation to a new level.
- The reputation tab on your character sheet now shows the number of reputation points your character has and the number required for the next level when you hover over the corresponding faction bar.
