Summary
World of Warcraft Classicis adding new reputation rewards to the supply network factions added in Season of Discovery. This is being done in response to the recent change that made eachWorld of Warcraftclass’ unique Rune easier to get via the Azeroth Commerce Authority and the Durotar Supply and Logistics factions.
One of the new major features ofWorld of Warcraft ClassicSeason of Discovery are Runes, powerful abilities and passives that dramatically change how each class plays. Every class has twelve Runes right now, one of which can be purchased from the Azeroth Commerce Authority for Alliance players, or Durotar Supply and Logistics for Horde, after a certain reputation threshold is met. Recently,World of Warcraftreduced the reputation requirement for buying these Runesfrom Honored to Friendly, making it much easier.
While this change was popular, some pointed out theWorld of Warcraft ClassicRuneswere one of the biggest rewards available for reaching Honored with these factions, and that there was little reason to grind past Friendly now.World of Warcraft Classicsenior game producer Josh Greenfield, better known as Aggrend, responded whenWoWfan Zendorx brought this concern to him on Twitter, confirming the developers were planning on adding “some interesting things to Honored soon,” but that its first priority was making the Runes easier to get.

There has been no update on what these mysterious new rewards might be, but Aggrend’s confirmation came shortly before the development team began their holiday break. At the time,World of Warcraft Classicwas focusing on class balancingand bug fixes so the game would be good for a few weeks while the team was away. Fans can expect to hear more about these new rewards some time after the new year.
Players are looking forward to seeing whatWorld of Warcraft Classicadds as reputation rewards. While a 12-slot bag is great for everyone, the recipes are only useful for certain professions andclasses inWorld of WarcraftSeason of Discovery. New items will make grinding these reputation factions more rewarding, and will satisfy fans who already hit Honored before these changes.
Next year is gearing up to bea big one forWorld of Warcraft Classic.Cataclysm Classicis coming to the progression servers, and Season of Discovery has four separate updates planned, so fans of the retroWorld of Warcraftservers will have plenty to do in 2024.
