WoW Forever Reputation Guide
Reputation decides which recipes, enchantments and discounts a character can reach. WoW Forever adds factions of its own, while the full list and their rewards are still unannounced. Confirmed changes come first, then the Classic factions most players meet between the late leveling zones and their first raids.

WoW Forever reputation FAQ
What new reputations are in WoW Forever?
Blizzard has only described them in broad terms: emerging factions in Mount Hyjal and more faction rewards for the Desolace centaurs. The BlizzCon demo also showed the Azeroth Commerce Authority, with Durotar Supply and Logistics as its Horde side, and Wowhead reports more reputation names in the beta files.
Is there a way to gain reputation faster in WoW Forever?
The Legacy System has a Diplomat perk that raises reputation gains, listed at 2% per rank in the demo but not yet confirmed. Humans lose their Classic Diplomacy racial, so it is no longer a reason to roll Human.
Which reputations should I work on while leveling?
Using Classic as a guide: your home city first, because Honored lowers riding and mount prices. Timbermaw Hold comes naturally while questing in Felwood and Winterspring, and Argent Dawn once you reach the Plaguelands.
Will Zandalar Tribe, Hydraxian Waterlords and Cenarion Circle be in WoW Forever?
Not announced. In Classic they were built around Zul'Gurub, Molten Core and Ahn'Qiraj, and none of those raids is on the list Blizzard has shared so far.
