- FactionFriend now indicates more clearly when your potential reputation gain from turnins is enough to reach a new standing (e.g. Friendly vs. Honored):
- The tooltip when mousing over the bar gains an extra line showing what your new standing would be after all turnins.
- The “empty” part of the bar is partially shaded with the color for that standing instead of being completely transparent. (For example, if you have enough turnins to move from Hated to Hostile, the “empty” part of the bar will be semi-transparent red; but if you have enough to move all the way to Neutral, that part of the bar will be semi-transparent yellow.)
- Updated our database for tracking faction turnins:
- Added two more Burning Crusade turnins: [Coilfang Armaments] for Cenarion Expedition and [Pair of Ivory Tusks] for The Consortium.
- Fixed quantity on [Wastewander Water Pouch] turnin for Gadgetzan.
- Added or corrected min/max standing requirements for several turnins.
- Aldor and Scryer turnins available at Friendly and above will also increase your Sha’tar reputation (until Honored) — we now indicate this when watching Sha’tar reputation.
- Fixed an error when using the reputation watch bar right-click menu to switch watched factions.
- Fixed an error when mousing over the reputation bar (“bad argument #3 to string.format”) if the WoW client doesn’t have cached info about an item. Such items will now show in the “available turnins” tooltip as “Unknown Item” with an ID number. (This case is very uncommon; you must have items in your inventory or bank for them to show up in this tooltip, and the WoW client caches info for all items in your inventory and bank when you view them.)
- Fixed an issue where the marker “tick” on the reputation bar (for available rep from turnins) wouldn’t show when your current standing is Unfriendly or below.
- Fixed an issue with use of gender-appropriate standing names in WoW client localizations for which the difference is noticeable.

Does this remarkable mechanisim work with other remarkable mechanisims that deal with factions?
For example, Fubar_FuXPFu?

Depends on what you mean my “work with”. It won’t interfere with such gadgets. If you’re expecting FactionFriend to be able to do what it does to the Blizzard builtin reputation bar with other addons you might use in place of such… it’s not feasible to go hooking everything that displays a status bar (which may or may not indicate faction).
Authors of other addons which display faction bars are welcome to make use of FactionFriend’s ability to calculate potential reputation gain from turnins. Here’s the function to use:
totalPotential: total potential reputation gain for the watched faction (e.g. if you’re watching The Aldor, and have 10 [Mark of Sargeras] and 2 [Fel Armament]s, this value will be 950).reportLines: summary of available turnins (as seen in FactionFriend’s tooltip for the Blizzard reputation bar), returned if you pass a value for thewithReportparameter. (Omit the parameter to speed up calculation a bit.)For now, it operates on the watched faction (as set by the “Show as Experience Bar” setting in Blizzard’s reputation window) only; future releases will allow calculating potential rep gain for any faction.
