This tabard and the other non-epic one will be added in patch 4.1. Either you will need exalted to buy it and are meant for twinks, either it will cost a hellova lot of gold.

Comment by Lanarchy

Probably available once your main hits exalted.

Comment by 786451

Will bind on account status make it useful for twinks? Sure. But you're forgetting the most useful part. Say I am exalted, and switch guilds. Oh no, I'm neutral again.. but not to worry, I can get exalted once more in half the time.

Comment by 626994

Since guild rep is limited to ~3500 per week both this and the other blue tabard will most likely prove useless.
I mean, i can currently reach the rep cap in a day or two!

That is ofcourse, unless they change the rep cap...is

Comment by Farlo

This is probably the same as all the other BoA items, and meant to help you gain guild rep more quickly on alts. Perhaps you have to get Honored/Revered in order to buy the Blue one, and then Exalted for this one.

One other theory is that the Blue one you can buy just based on reputation, while this version will require another guild achievement, which then provides everyone with an additional boost once the criteria is met, much like the Battle Standard of Coordination and Cloak of Coordination do now.

Comment by mstieler

Awesome. Now all my level-less-than-80 toons can get 2 guild rep per quest as opposed to 1!

Well, that and get their guild rep up much faster at and post level 80.

Comment by 796528

For Renowned Guild Tabard you need to be Honored
For Illustrious Guild Tabard you only need to be Friendly

I know it from Public test.

Comment by 781152

Blizz already stated that when a guild hits lvl23 the daily cap is removed. whichever guilds have more of these level faster. its an all out race to 25 that one fateful day =3

Comment by JugsY

I will be Guild EXALTED Tonight after I do my daily Random with My Guild Im @ 20,865/21K

This wasnt such a hard thing to get. I will not be very happy if this tabard is one that you wear to make it easier to be Exalted with your Guild. As Cata only came out in December and its only March, so it went purdy fast I thought.

I actually come here to find out what perks there is for being Exalted with your Guild, havent found any as yet, maybe a Title, a Tabard, a Mount, or WHAT? LOL

Comment by Arandrinno

I think this is a good idea especially for those that are still way behind in things cause Blizz moved too fast on new patches and expansions. I think that the rewarded rep for guilds that you get at any level are rediculiously low anyway and this will be a boost for those that don't play as often. Although I think that once you get friendly with your guild you should be able to purchase one or the other.

Comment by 527874

So does this tabard look any differently then a regular guild tabard?

Comment by Deusexmetus

When I changed guild a few weeks ago I lost all my rep (50% revered) so kindda nice to be able to catch up faster now :)

Comment by blackbone

Join your character on a few guild 10 man instances and you will pretty much hit the weekly reputation cap in a single evening.

I would stress that this tabard can however be bought on your main, then given to your alt - who probably doesn't get played as much, or joins instances as much as your primary character.

Equip the tabard, do 10-25 daily quests, then mail the tabard to another alt. You'll be honored sooner, and can buy the recipes which you will probably want - or the mount after a longer period of time.

No word on the XP cap being increased, so it'll still just take as much time. Just less effort.

Comment by 151513

Does anyone on the PTR know if this will have stats on it that increase with level? Otherwise people are going to want to be overgeared for the content they're doing before wearing this if it has no stats.

Comment by AveryZan

I just got this and it exceeded my expectations. You get twice the reputation per quest, but the extra rep does not count against your weekly cap. This could be a bug, but I sure hope it stays like this. As is it effectively makes the weekly cap 7000 for the same amount of work as the typical 3500. Pretty awsome I think.

Comment by 533861

Costs 250G from guild vendor once Honored with your guild.

Changes the border on your regular guild tabard, making it more expansive. Fills out a bit more, makes your border more noticeable, in such a way that (I thought) really adds to your tabards look. Indeed, making it more 'epic'.

As the text plainly shows, binds to your Battle.net Account.

This tabard and Illustrious Guild Tabard both count towards the achievement Represent and the other tabard achievements.

~~The extra rep gained essentially doubles the rep you are able to get, as the 100% bonus does not count towards your weekly limit~~. Sadly this is no longer true. In patch 4.3 Blizz changed this so the extra rep you gain does now count toward your weekly limit.

Comment by 696978

You have to be honored to purchase this from the guild vendor, and the item is account-bound, so you can send it to alts that are not necessarily honored. However, if your main is not honored yet (i.e. new guild), you can purchase the Illustrious Guild Tabard at a reputation of friendly.

Comment by switch89a

This item is disenchantable but i DO NOT recommend disenchanting it. I obtained two Small Glimmering Shards when disenchanting my tabard.

Comment by chrth

4.1 introduced two new tabards: Renowned Guild Tabard and Illustrious Guild Tabard (hereafter referred to as Purple and Blue, respectively). The Blue one is available at Friendly and increases guild rep gain by 50%, and the Purple one is available at Honored and increases guild rep gain by 100%.

These guild rep gains are not restricted by the cap; only the base reputation in the calculation hits the cap. The formula operates as follows:

T * (Base + Bonus)

with Bonus being the guild rep gain bonus and/or human racial bonus.

An example:

Quest is completed earning you 38 base reputation with your guild; that is the total applied against the cap. You have the 10% guild bonus, netting you 4 additional rep for 42 base + bonus. You are also wearing the blue tabard, so you gain 50%, or 21 reputation more, for a total of 63 reputation gained with the guild.

As a result of this, your effective guild rep cap for the week is:
No bonus: 5250 with the blue tabard and 7000 with the purple
10% bonus from guild or human racial: 5775/7700
20% bonus from guild and human racial: 6353/8470

Comment by 674902

Its not explicitly stated elsewhere, but this in a dynmaic item like normal Guild Tabards and will diplay your guild crest.
- You can keep it when leaving a guild and if you join another it will display that new gulids crest.

Comment by MikadoGG

I think that this tabard is bugged currently. I completed 12 quests in Tol Barad while wearing this tabard and the floating combat text said I gained roughly 83 rep for each other them. But my reputation with the guild for this week shows as being 274/3500. Dividing 274 by 12 yields roughly 23 rep per quest which is even less than usual 42-43 per quest. Either the tabard is bugged or the guild UI is bugged. Either way this is confusing.

Comment by synackk

I can confirm, without a doubt, any comments above about the extra rep counting towards the reputation cap is not true. I earned over 7000 guild XP this week.

I'm hoping to clear up all misinformation.

Comment by 821175

This tabard can be purchased from your guild vendors
IE:
Shay Pressler - Stormwind
Goram - Orgrimmar

Comment by 622788

Counts towards 25 Tabards (Twenty-Five Tabards)

Comment by Mairin

Interesting note is make sure you still have the buff up when earning guild rep. Certain activities such as the Maw of Iso'rath chain that forces "fake" deaths can remove it although you just need to re-equip to gain the buff.

Comment by seven77

I am amazed one is not allowed to be gaining reputation for his own guild such as you would do with the championing of a faction/city.... more badly spent, at least for me. such a let down....
I mean, I was running ZA and no rep for my guild - when i swithced to my IF tabard, here comes the rep gains: how irrational is that? why giving a guild tabard and say 'championing' if that does not happen....

Comment by Igniz

Anyone know a good way for a lvl 60 to farm rep with a guild? I have a 60 twink, but I need it to be honored. Thanks.

Comment by Thehangman

I do not know if this is a bug or not and if it is going to be fixed later on, but as for the moment the extra guild reputation earned from this tabard does not count towards the weekly guild reputation cap.

For example if you complete a daily quest at level 85 with this tabard on, you will get ~97 rep. However the weekly guild reputation cap will only show that you have earned ~48 reputation.

In other words; with this on, you can earn double as much reputation each week - 7000 reputation.

Comment by 742222

Do you get to keep it if you leave guild? And does the bonus work with another guild rep than where the tabard was bought from? (like you mail it to an alt in another guild)

Comment by 473316

Does this require a guild achievement to purchase from the guild vendor, or is it natively available to any guild?

Comment by lyph3

I'm leveling with a friend. We have the same heirlooms and are in the same guild. I have a tabard on and he does not. I am gaining more experience per kill (not quite 5%). I took the tabard off and we went back to gaining the same amount of experience.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but there is extra experience gained from this tabard being equipped.

I know it's bugged in at least one way (you can't join a guild if you have it equipped or in your inventory), so this could be another.

Comment by Puchatek

Worth noting, you CAN actually buy it if you leave a guild.

I left my previous guild and realm-changed. After arrival on new realm, I still had my guild rep maxed (999/1000 exalted) and I just.. checked Guild Vendor. Guess what, the only items which I had available to buy were these two tabards. I bought them both (earning Thirty Tabards in the same time, yay^^) and I had been wearing Renowned one all the time until I joined new guild.

Now, my rep counter reset, obviously. But.. I didn't lose tabard.. I can still wear it (not sure whether I can equip and unequip it again), but I don't know yet if it actually increases your rep with a new guild.

It's probably not intended, but it would be good to know if it's caused by my changing realms etc and something is messed up, or it's that way for everyone. If any of you have unused alt or something in unused guild with friendly/honored rep, try to leave it and check Guild Vendor. I haven't found anything regarding that issue here, so I pointed it out.

Comment by 445579

The normal, non-adjusted guild rep cap is 3500.
Renowned Guild Tabard adds 100%, bringing this to 7000.
Mr. Popularity adds another 10%, raising the max available cap to 7700.

Assuming you cap out each week, in a worst case scenario, you will be gaining 3500. Best case scenario, you can get up to 7700 (8400 for humans..credit to Iroared) guild rep per week.

Comment by Jollygood

My main is in Guild A and I purchase the purple tabard. My alt is in Guild B. I send the tabard to my alt in Guild B. It works.

So, I suspect that once you are in a guild, the tabard will function as intended.

Comment by 838843

Seems to change the border of the guild tabard, doubles your weekly cap and guild XP earned from wherever.

Comment by 746374

Kinda strange that you have to remember to send it to your alt. Why not just have Blizzard send one to each alt, as they do with lots of bind-to-account items?

Comment by rentamedic

As a matter of fact, I have tested this and the bonus rep does not count against the weekly cap., so, it is very useful and does dramatically reduce the time required to get from honored to revered to exalted on your main and all guild rep leveling on any of your alts.

Comment by Nubzero

Theres a bug with this tabard, when you go into a portal you will lose the 'buff' of the 100% rep increase, you will have to unequip and re-equip the tabard to get it back, happened to me when going into the firelands portal, and turning in a daily quest only to notice it gave me normal guild rep :(

Comment by tailsandy

The buff from this tends to drop off for no reason whatsoever sometimes, it's quite annoying.

EDIT: It seems to happen whenever I port into firelands.

Comment by 866079

is there any benefit to wearing a renowned guild tabard after you become exalted with your guild

Comment by 498472

Why are people talking about cap, 7000 rep a week...
This is a Tabard which raise your rep gained by 100% (dailys to 85 rep per quest)
This Tabard will NOT raise your Guild Rep Cap (a week) from 4375 to 7000!

Im honored with the guild that is level 25 so i dont see any cap increased.
A GameMaster told me the same thing:

No, the weekly guild rep isnt changed, but it doesn't need to be as if you cap out by earning 3500 you've also earnt an extra 3500 on top of it that will be on your rep bar

Comment by coxinha

Count to Twenty-Five Tabards. :)

Comment by Kazlehoff

I'm kind of curious to see what this looks like on a character who is not in a guild.

Comment by Ruiru

Seems as of 4.3 this doesn't "increase" the weekly rep gain cap anymore, I was only able to earn 4375 rep this week total.

Comment by Takata

These guild tabards never work in dungeons. Only increase I've noticed is from daily quests.

Comment by 573949

It's frustrating how you can't customize this other than the general color : /

Comment by 869316

The Renowned Guild Tabard binds to your battle.net account. When you have a toon that qualifies for this tabard you can through that toon buy Renowned Guild Tabards for all your toons of the same faction on the same realm and post them; thus they can all share in the same benefit. If you are a skinflint you can relay the one tabard around your toons using the mail.

Comment by Mendric

For those that have multiple accounts merged into one battle.net account, there's some great news.

You can buy these for your alts! They can equip them and earn their benefit right away. So ONLY the person that buys it must be honored and not the receiver. Also note, that you can't trade this directly. So if you multi-box (like I love to do), then if you try and trade it, it will say "You cannot trade soulbound items". Simply mail it to them and they'll get it right away.

Also to note, you can even mail this to other factions as long as they're on your account.

Comment by 840991

If experienced in PvP I suggest doing Arenas. Gives good rep and activity with guild. Of course you must also be in a guild group.
