Grand Commendation

The Grand Commendation system, introduced in patch 5.1.0, allows players to boost reputation gains for all characters on their account with certain Pandaria factions.

Each Grand Commendation is bought for a small sum of gold from the corresponding faction quartermaster. It is a quality item that must be used after purchase to take effect. Simply having a Grand Commendation in one's bag does nothing.

Grand Commendations are unlocked upon reaching reputation with the corresponding faction, and once used, double all reputation gains with that faction for all characters on the account, including the character who originally reached revered. This means that they effectively halve the reputation needed to reach, making the climb from revered to exalted a little shorter (effectively 21,000/2 = 10,500 points) than from honored to revered (12,000 points).

• Beginning in patch 5.2.0, Reputation that have the bonus unlocked were indicated with a gold arrow next to the reputation bar in the reputation tab. In patch 9.0.1 the indicating gold arrow was removed from the UI.
