About the data

Everything here is read, not written. What a faction page states comes from one of three places, and each page says which.

1. The game client, for each version

Every version of the game ships its data tables inside the client, and wago.tools publishes them as they are. From Faction comes the name, the description the reputation pane shows, the pane's order and headers, the cap, and for each of four race groups where that group starts and whether the pane shows it the row at all. From SpellEffect come the reputation gains the client states — the battleground spells, the turn-in spells, the racial that scales every gain — with the item that casts each where one does. From ItemSparse come the items a standing unlocks.

WoW Forever

World of Warcraft: Forever client tables (wow_classic_beta 1.60.1.70124), build 1.60.1.70124: 56 factions on the pane, 14 rows left out.

  • 46 Blacksmithing - Armorsmithing: Blizzard's internal tracker for the profession specialisation (cap 3000, set by the specialisation spell), not a reputation the pane lists.
  • 83 Leatherworking - Elemental: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 86 Leatherworking - Dragonscale: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 289 Blacksmithing - Weaponsmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.

  • 550 Engineering - Goblin: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 551 Engineering - Gnome: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 569 Blacksmithing - Hammersmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 570 Blacksmithing - Axesmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 571 Blacksmithing - Swordsmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 574 Caer Darrow: the Scholomance quest-chain tracker; hidden in the pane for every race (flag 0x04 on its only race group), without a description, and reached only through the two 'Reputation - Caer Darrow' spells (17621, 17681).
  • 709 Battleground Neutral: internal battleground template row.
  • 2801 Neutral Both But Alliance Can Attack: an AI-behaviour template row that build 1.60.1.70124 leaves with ReputationIndex 74; neither of its two race groups carries the hidden flag (0x04), so only this entry keeps it off the list.
  • 2807 DNT Test Reputation: a 'do not translate' test row (its description reads 'Will it break? Let's find out!').

The Burning Crusade

WoW TBC Anniversary 2.5.6 client tables, build 2.5.6.69795: 56 factions on the pane, 12 rows left out.

  • 46 Blacksmithing - Armorsmithing: Blizzard's internal tracker for the profession specialisation (cap 3000, set by the specialisation spell), not a reputation the pane lists.
  • 83 Leatherworking - Elemental: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 86 Leatherworking - Dragonscale: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 289 Blacksmithing - Weaponsmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 549 Leatherworking - Tribal: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 550 Engineering - Goblin: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 551 Engineering - Gnome: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 569 Blacksmithing - Hammersmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 570 Blacksmithing - Axesmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 571 Blacksmithing - Swordsmithing: specialisation tracker, see 46.
  • 574 Caer Darrow: hidden in the pane for every race (flag 0x04) and without a description; the two 'Reputation - Caer Darrow' spells the Classic Era client reaches it through are not in this client, and no spell or item here grants or gates on it.
  • 1005 Friendly, Hidden: a utility row named for its own settings rather than a faction: every race starts Friendly (3000) with flag 0x04, which hides it from the pane, under a cap of 30000. No description, no header, no spell or item in this client grants or gates on it, and the Classic Era client has no such row.

Season of Discovery

WoW Classic Era 1.15.9 client tables, the rows Season of Discovery added, build 1.15.9.70003: 3 factions on the pane.

2. The game itself, for what the client does not hold

Quest reputation, reputation from kills and the repeatable turn-ins most grinds are built on are decided on Blizzard's servers. No table states them. They enter a page only once they have been confirmed in game or in Blizzard's own footage, and the page names that confirmation beside the number. Until then the page says the route is not written yet, and asks search engines not to list it. Other guides are read as pointers to what to check, never as a source to copy.

3. The calculator

It counts with what the first two give it: the standing your race and class start at, the gains the client states, the turn-ins that have been confirmed and the part of the climb each works in, and the racial modifier read from its own spell. The standings and their point bands are the ones the game has had since 2004: Neutral 3,000, Friendly 6,000, Honored 12,000, Revered 21,000, Exalted. Where the game rounds a bonus point the client does not say, so the counts carry the fraction and say so.

The series

This site is built by the maker of WoW Forever Talents. The Forever section here is read from the same Forever client as every other section; the sibling site adds every quest that rewards a faction, with the amounts the beta confirmed, and each Forever page here links to its page there.
