Faction change

I would like to faction change and server transfer the character I have been playing most since Vanilla. I have most reps exalted on her and am wondering if some of them like the bfa ones will reset to 0 if I faction change?

I would check this bit outdated page out:

https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Faction_Change_service

I’m mostly worried about the bfa reputations though. Such as the Nazjatar reputation and the War campaign reputation

They will swap over but you have to do certain quests again, as far as I have read other people who have faction-changed.

I did faction changes to unlock all allied race

It doesn’t reset BFA reps. It is transfers them across to the other factions alternative for the faction and remains with the same progress.

Don’t know about prior expansions reps. But I know it’s the case in BFA

What about wod garrison? Does this transfer over or do you need to do it again?

Also I am revered with mechagnomes if I change to Horde and continue the rep there and hit exalted can I do the mechagnome unlock quest on an alt or does it need to be on the one that has the exalted rep?

The only rep that will/might reset is the Sunreaver/Silver Covenant reputation, but those are easy to grind back (just do Wrath dungeons, every mob and boss will grant rep).

Other than that, no, nothing will be reset. In fact, you get to do all alliance or Horde zones, and gain more rep for the BFA stuff that might actually get you 1-2 Paragon boxes.

Will switch over.

You only need the rep and achievement done, you don’t need it on an alliance. You can just use an alliance to unlock the race.

Bugfree? I remember faction changing before and I had a bug that made it unable to finish Vashj’ir

Yes, bugfree. I’ve faction changed more than I should have over my 10 years of playing. xD

With the Vashj’ir thing, you might’ve needed to do the Horde/Alliance intro first? Can’t say I faced it, but then again I never touch Vashj’ir.

Not sure what caused it back then a gm moved me along from quest to quest because I wasn’t able to complete them the hubs weren’t showing up iirc

The only thing that resets is most of your quest progress so if you ever were gloating that you don’t have yellow quests then~ have fun farming those again. I am also pretty sure you will lose some flightpaths (even if you will return to Horde)

It is your game, You decide what you do.

However, i highly reccomend against it.It will never feel the same, it will be messy and alot of times, most times people will simply transfer back to their original faction

Well…it was Horde back in Vanilla til cata so :stuck_out_tongue:

pre-Welcome back to the bestest faction! :partying_face:

Unfortunantly you will have to re-do the war campaign yes :pensive: and the zone campaigns.

But if the quest markers don’t bug you no worries, if they do it goes pretty fast with flying and being max level nowadays.

Been playing horde for the last few months now but my “main” character was still ally :smiley: but thanks anyway!

I actually can’t stand quest markers being around…But it’s extra rep I guess :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh… my bad :sweat_smile:

Same here, when the discount was up I made my last character Horde even though I had no intention of playing him yet but I found myself doing the stupid Zuldazar story for the 20th time just to get rid of the pesky quest markers in the city.

Ah well atleast it’s pretty fast if you’re geared a bit!

I would appreciate if you would simply stop writing such postings. People, like you, are the fuel which lead to a cross-faction system. Nobody cares how “proud” you are about your faction, it will have consequences and the first signs have been visible for months now.

Fun’s over in this regard. I know, it sounds absolute stupid but it is as it is.

There have been a few issues with faction changing… this won’t be an issue if you haven’t unlocked the latest corruption content though on that character.
