It’s amazing the lengths some will go to to win friends. Gaining the trust of furbolg tribes, Dark Iron dwarves, and other organizagations of demi-goblinoid races can be a lot of work, and it can be easy sometimes to lose rack of one’s progress. That’s where Fizzwidget Industries comes in! Our newest gadget not only helps you keep tabs on whose respect you’re earning, but also how much more you could earn by turning in certain items you’re carrying.

Features

  • Automatically switches the Blizzard builtin reputation watch bar (i.e. the “Show as experience bar” option in the Reputation pane) when entering certain zones. (Argent Dawn in Plaguelands, Zandalar Tribe in Zul’Gurub, etc.)
  • Outside of those zones, automatically switches the reputation watch bar when gaining reputation. (If gaining reputation with multiple factions at once, the bar will switch for only the first.)
  • In cases where faction can be gained through repeatable item turnins, the faction you can earn by turning in whatever’s in your inventory is shown on the reputation watch bar in a similar fashion to how rest state is shown on the experience bar. (For example, if you’re watching Timbermaw Hold faction and have 23 [Winterfall Spirit Beads] in your inventory, a marker and partially-shaded area on the bar will show that you can gain 200 reputation points by turning in four sets of five beads each.)
  • Mousing over the reputation watch bar (or the aforementioned marker) will show a summary of the reputation points that can be earned through turning in or consuming items.

Chat Commands

/factionfriend (or /ff): shows or hides the options window.

Caveats, Known Bugs, Etc.

  • The potential reputation gain shown on the bar is just an estimate: actual reputation gain may vary. (This is especially true for humans, as FactionFriend’s rounding may not match Blizzard’s when calculating the racial 10% increase in faction gain.)
  • Some repeatable faction turnins offer an increased amount of reputation the first time they’re completed; FactionFriend has no way of knowing whether you’ve done a turnin before, so it always assumes the smaller amount.
  • Some repeatable faction turnins only become available at a certain level, or once prerequisite quests are completed. FactionFriend can’t keep track of all the reasons a turnin might or might not be available; it just shows how much reputation you’d be able earn if the turnins are possible.
