Championing

This article concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.

Championing is a system for customized reputation gains from dungeons in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, announced at the 2008 Worldwide Invitational. It allows a player to acquire reputation in a dungeon with a faction other than that normally associated with the dungeon. Killing a monster that yields reputation inside a level 80 (or max level for the expansion) dungeon on normal mode or in any heroic mode dungeons while wearing a particular faction's tabard will grant reputation with that faction.

Wrath of the Lich King example

This section concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.

For instance, wearing [Tabard of the Ebon Blade] in normal Utgarde Pinnacle will yield reputation with the Knights of the Ebon Blade, while other instances like normal Violet Hold will not. Instances that are not categorized as level 80 dungeons do not yield reputation. Additionally, level 80 instances on normal mode yield less reputation than their heroic equivalents.

The tabards that allow championing can be acquired at friendly reputation with their respective factions. The four factions that can be championed are:

• Argent Crusade
• Kirin Tor
• Knights of the Ebon Blade
• Wyrmrest Accord

If you do not wear a champion tabard, you will gain reputation with either the Horde Expedition or the Alliance Vanguard, depending on your race.
