Some of the best rewards in WoW can only be achieved if you have the appropriate level of reputation with a specific faction. Whether you're a brand new WoW player or a freshly-minted level 70 dipping your first toe into the endgame, you need to educate yourself about reputation (or "rep" as it's usually called). Fortunately, here at WoW Insider, we have a lot of tools that can help you find your way through the rep maze to the piece of loot you desire.For new players

Liquidor's rep calculator seems to be down, or no longer active.

If you want to do a real rep roundup, howabout an article with a breakdown of each Outland faction and what type of class / professions get the most and least benefit out of them?
That would be a very worthy article.

I wish I had known you couldn't turn in the unidentified plant parts for CE rep after a certain point. If I could go back I would have just bought a lot off the AH and turned those in before doing all of the CE quests in Zangarmarsh. I'm only halfway through honored and that Earthwarden feels soooo far away. :-(
