Reputation

[Etchings]

Hello!

I've got a quick question about reputation. For the life of me, I cannot find an explanation of the decay of reputation as a quest reward that existed back in vanilla. I remember that at a certain point, quests reward less rep (typically 20% of the initial value, so a 150 rep quest awards 30) but I can't find what that point was.

Is it if a quest turns grey it offers less rep? Or is it based on how many levels above the intended quest level you are?

If anybody could shed some insight (specifics, not generalities please) or link to a resource that explains this specific topic I would be in your debt!

Thank you!!

I don't believe that this system existed in classic WoW.

What is Reputation Reduction?

This is the term given to the effect seen when a Reputation from a mob or quest is lower because of the level difference. Once the mob goes Grey, or a quest is six levels below you, you lose 20% of the total Reputation possible for the kill/completion for each level. This goes this way for four levels, until you reach the minimum Reputation gain of 20%.
