Reputation Overview
Reputation tracks your standing with each faction independently. There are 6 reputation tiers, progressing from Hostile to Exalted. Reaching higher tiers unlocks new quests, merchants, crafting recipes, and unique hero recruitment chains.
| Tier | Rep Range | Access Granted |
|---|---|---|
| Hostile | 0 – 999 | Faction NPCs attack on sight; no quests available |
| Neutral | 1,000 – 2,999 | Basic daily quests; faction shop tier 1 |
| Friendly | 3,000 – 5,999 | Tier 2 quests; access to faction dungeon; hero quest unlocks |
| Honored | 6,000 – 11,999 | Tier 3 quests; exclusive crafting recipes; faction weapon enchants |
| Revered | 12,000 – 20,999 | Tier 4 quests; set item vendor; faction mount |
| Exalted | 21,000+ | All quests; full vendor; title; exclusive cosmetic; final hero unlock |
NOTE
Reputation is account-wide per character. Prestige resets do NOT reset reputation. You keep all faction standing across Prestige tiers, making it a permanent long-term investment.
All 8 Factions of Aeternum
The Crimson Court
VampireAn ancient council of vampire nobles who have ruled the shadows for millennia. The Court does not seek war — it seeks dominion through politics, manipulation, and the accumulation of power. Those who earn their trust are rewarded with the finest blood-crafted arms in Aeternum.
Exalted reward: Crimson Court Regalia (6-piece set) + Title: "Noble of the Court"
Order of the Silver Flame
WerewolfA holy order of werewolf paladins devoted to purging corruption from the land. They wield silver blessed by the Moon Goddess and stand as the last line against the undead tide rising from the Necropolis. Their discipline is absolute; their judgment, final.
Exalted reward: Silver Flame Armor (6-piece set) + Holy enchantment recipe (all tiers)
The Pack Council
WerewolfA democratic body of the great werewolf clans, united by blood-oath after the last Eclipse War. The Council governs territory disputes, pack laws, and war declarations. Joining their ranks means accepting the bonds of brotherhood — and its burdens.
Exalted reward: Councilmark Armor + Hero: Koda Stormfang unlocked at Friendly
The Undying Covenant
VampireA cult of undeath worshippers — both vampire and human alike — who seek to transcend mortality through dark ritual. They know secrets of necromancy no living scholar has dared study, and they share those secrets only with the truly devoted.
Exalted reward: Necromancer's Vestments + Undying skill unlocked (free revive once per dungeon)
The Merchant Guild of Aeternum
NeutralNeither aligned with blood nor claw, the Guild cares only for profit. They operate trading posts across every major region, brokering deals between factions and taking their cut regardless of who wins the eternal war. Gold is their only allegiance.
Exalted reward: Merchant Prince Ring (+30% gold) + Access to Auction House premium slots
The Riftwalker Society
NeutralScholars and explorers who study the mysterious Rifts that tear through Aeternum's fabric. They have no interest in the vampire-werewolf conflict except where it intersects with their obsession: understanding and controlling the power of the Void.
Exalted reward: Rift Key (unlocks Boss ID 190) + Void enchantment recipes
Priesthood of the Moon
WerewolfDevout servants of the Moon Goddess who maintain the sacred lunar temples across the highlands. They believe the moon's cycle holds the key to controlling the beast within — and that a werewolf who masters this truth is unstoppable.
Exalted reward: Moonbless Armor Set + Holy damage enchant unlocked for both races
The Blood Covenant
VampireAn elite vampire assassin guild operating from the shadows of the capital. Where the Crimson Court negotiates, the Blood Covenant acts. They have no quorum, no speeches — only contracts fulfilled and shadows that never whisper their clients' names.
Exalted reward: Shadow Covenant Gear Set + Backstab passive (+25% first-round crit damage)
Earning Reputation
Reputation is earned through four main methods. Each faction has a daily reputation cap to prevent burnout farming; the cap resets at midnight UTC.
Daily Quests
The primary and most efficient source of reputation. Each faction offers 3–5 daily quests depending on your current reputation tier. Quest types include: Kill X monsters in region, Deliver X resources, Win X PvP fights in zone, and Donate X gold to faction coffers.
Donations
Any player at Neutral or above can donate Gold or faction-specific materials directly to the faction treasury. Donations give reputation at a rate of 1 Rep per 50 Gold donated, up to a maximum of 200 Rep per day via donations alone.
World Event Participation
Participating in the weekly War Zone or World Boss events rewards bonus reputation with 2–3 factions depending on the event. War Zone grants +500 Rep to your primary faction for each territory captured.
Faction Tokens
Rare drop from dungeon bosses and world event leaderboard rewards. Each faction has its own token (e.g., "Court Seal", "Silver Emblem"). Tokens can be exchanged at the faction vendor for a direct reputation bonus of 250 Rep each, with no daily cap.

TIP
Neutral factions (Merchant Guild, Riftwalker Society) can be maxed by both races. If you are a Vampire player, prioritizing Riftwalker to Revered for Rift Key access, then pivoting to Crimson Court or Blood Covenant for endgame gear is the most efficient long-term path.
