First thing: I posted back in December when the 8.1 changes went into effect concerning two mysterious extra reputations that were counting in my tracker. Still have no concrete clarification on that.
I’ve been through every character I have, and tallied their reputations. I confirmed that Scryers/Aldor, Oracles/Frenzyheart are not counting as four reputations, I have finished Ogri’la, and am now showing 96/100 reputations on my tracker in-game even though I only have 94…
Edit 4/4: The following postulate has been Tentatively Verified
I am considering the possibility that having had Tranquillien on my character while Horde, and then transferring to Alliance (and back again several times ), where I had in the past completed the Wintersaber rep, has somehow counted for two reputations. I can only imagine this because they aren’t technically opposite factions; I earned the reputation separately. I completed Wintersaber Trainers when I was originally Alliance back in Vanilla, and then I did the reputation for Tranquillien doing the quests when I switched to Horde at one point.
Also, they aren’t displayed as: Wintersaber Trainers/Tranquillien; they’re from completely different expansions after all. The Wintersaber’s mount switches to the raptor from Un’goro Crater, it has nothing to do with Tranquillien. Basically, as I figure, they don’t cancel each other out like normal faction-specific reputations, you just can’t have either one while you are the opposite faction…so they disappear. Perhaps, then, that reputation, while it does disappear when you switch faction, is still counting toward the total?
Edit 4/4 Cont. Explanation:
Verified this on a new account, completed the Tranquillien reputation quests on a Horde toon, and when an Alliance toon was made it showed 1/5 on the tracker for the 5 Exalted Reputations achievement. A friend who had Wintersabers but had never done Tranquillien completed the quests, and they also had their counter go up by one on their Alliance toon.
Still considering this “Tentative” until I finish the dailies for Wintersabers on my Alliance toon and verify they both count. But, since my Alliance toon is counting a Horde-only rep, and my friend is seeing both counting, I’m 99% sure this is verified.
Still no idea what the second mystery reputation is…sigh
Second issue sort of stems from the first: I’ve been keeping better track of what reputations are appearing/counting, and where they’re appearing/counting (trying to figure out The Mystery of the Two Reps), and I did a quick tally of which reputations aren’t listed on my character profile on the website (and by extension on Wowhead).
Website is Missing:
- Emperor Shaohao
- Pearlfin Jinyu/ Forest Hozen
- Dragonmaw Clan/ Wildhammer Clan
- Knights of the Ebon Blade
- Tushui Pandaren/ Huojin Pandaren
So, yeah. I got nothing.
Any insight from anyone? It’s been a few months, maybe someone else figured something out…
Edit: Possibility of the Hidden Parent Reputations for Alliance/Horde and Steamwheedle being the extra (even though they never counted before). Working on this on my separate, new account to verify.
