How to gain reputation

Point sources in Arathi Basin:

  • Holding bases: stables, mine, blacksmith, farm and lumber mill generate resources and reputation.
  • Accumulating resources: your team's resource thresholds grant reputation to everyone.
  • Winning the match gives a large one-time boost.

Like the Alliance, the key is map control: hold the majority of bases and resources and reputation flow on their own.
