Azeroth Commerce Authority — WoW Forever Reputation and Profession Guide

The Azeroth Commerce Authority is Forever's Alliance trade faction. The Horde equivalent is Durotar Supply and Logistics. You loot crates from around the world, fill them, hand them in at the camp for Merchant's Favor, and spend that currency on profession recipes, mounts, pets and cosmetics.

Most coverage treats this as a vendor directory. It's worth understanding as something else entirely, because of one detail that changes when you should engage with it:

The recipes start at skill 25.

Engineering schematics from skill 25. Cooking from 25. Alchemy from 65. Leatherworking and Tailoring from 60. Craftsman's Writs may be available from character level 10.

This is not an endgame reputation. It's a profession-levelling system aimed at characters on their way up — and because Legacy Points award a point at skill 150, 225 and 300 in each of the six non-gathering professions, it's also one of the better Legacy Point engines in the game.

Here's everything it sells, what it costs, and how to spend a currency you won't have much of.

The Camps

Key Alliance NPCs:

A note on the Horde side: the camp location is confirmed, but the Durotar Supply and Logistics vendor roster hasn't been documented to the same level of detail as the Alliance camp. The structure is expected to mirror it. If you're Horde, treat the vendor lists below as the shape of what you'll find rather than confirmed Horde data.

Earning Merchant's Favor — and Why You Must Prioritise

You earn Favor by looting crates around the world, filling them, and handing them in to Marcy Baker.

Shipping Labels award 660 experience plus Merchant's Favor. The Sealed Crate quests also grant Favor.

The Arithmetic Nobody Runs

Look at those numbers against the price list, because this is the whole planning problem:

Reins of the Pack Kodo costs 6,000 Merchant's Favor.

At 20 Favor per uncommon Journeyman crate — the best rate available — that's 300 crates.

At 10 Favor, it's 600 crates.

And a single profession certification costs 1,000 Favor, which is 50 to 100 crates for one title.

Favor is the scarce resource here, not the recipes. There are roughly 300 recipes across the vendors and you will not be buying most of them. Decide what you're actually here for before you spend anything.

All Seven Profession Vendors

All at the Alliance camp. Every recipe is bought with Merchant's Favor.

No gathering vendor. Herbalism, Mining and Skinning have nothing here.

The Skill Range Detail That Matters

Read the skill range column again, because two vendors don't go where you'd expect.

Enchanting, Alchemy, Engineering and Blacksmithing run to 300. Those four vendors cover you from their starting band all the way to the profession cap.

Leatherworking and Tailoring stop at 235.

That's a real gap, and here's why it's awkward: the profession certification requires skill 300. So a Leatherworker or Tailor can buy a certification from this faction, but cannot buy the recipes that get them from 235 to 300. You'll need another source — trainers, drops, or the Auction House — for that final stretch.

Plan accordingly. If you're a Tailor or Leatherworker, this faction is a strong mid-game accelerator and then it hands you off. If you're an Enchanter, Alchemist, Engineer or Blacksmith, it's a single source that covers your whole climb.

Engineering has the widest coverage of all of them: skill 25 to 300. If you're planning which crafting profession to take on a Forever character and you want one vendor to cover the entire journey, Engineering is the one this faction supports best.

Why This Faction Is a Legacy Points Engine

This is the connection that makes the grind worth considering, and it isn't drawn anywhere.

Legacy Challenges award one point for reaching skill 150, 225 and 300 in each of the six non-gathering primary professions — 18 points total, which is the second-largest Legacy category after classes.

Those six professions are: Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking, Tailoring.

Those are exactly the six profession vendors at this camp.

The Azeroth Commerce Authority exists to sell you recipes across precisely the skill bands that Legacy Points reward. If you're working toward the 18 tradeskill points, this faction is the most direct recipe source for it — and the skill ranges line up with the milestones:

And a warning in the same breath: Cooking gives zero Legacy Points. It's a secondary profession and it isn't on the Legacy challenge list. Kalsey Sanden's smoothies are consumables worth having, not progression. Don't spend Favor there expecting account progress.

The three-character planning rule still applies: each character holds two primary professions, and there are six that award points, so three characters with non-overlapping profession pairs cover all 18 tradeskill points. Each of those three characters will be shopping at this camp.

How to Spend Limited Favor

Given that Favor is scarce and there are roughly 300 recipes, here's a defensible priority order.

1. Recipes for the profession you're actively levelling. This is the whole point of the faction. Buy the recipes that get you past your current skill wall, in the 30–90 Favor band where Leatherworking, Tailoring, Blacksmithing and Cooking sit. Those are the cheapest items on the list and they do the most work.

2. The Advertising License Application — 1,200 Favor, requires Honored. Sits with Tamelyn Aldridge. Worth it if you're playing the economy seriously.

3. Utility schematics and high-value enchants. Fritz Fizzle's Ultralight Goblin Glider and Loot-A-Rang, and Alynsia's weapon and necklace enchants, are the items with lasting practical value rather than one-time skill-up value. Engineering schematics are the most expensive on the list at up to 360 Favor, so pick deliberately.

4. Profession certifications — 1,000 Favor each, requires skill 300. Pure vanity. Six of them exist, so the full title set costs 6,000 Favor — exactly the same as the Pack Kodo mount. Choose one or the other first; you are not getting both quickly.

5. Reins of the Pack Kodo — 6,000 Favor. From Huey Sunnydale. The big-ticket item and a 300-to-600 crate commitment. Treat it as a long-term goal you accumulate toward, not something to save for while skipping cheap recipes you actually need.

6. Cosmetics. The Azeroth Commerce Authority Tabard is only 200 Favor but requires Exalted, so it's gated by reputation rather than currency. The Packmule Treat is 1,500 Favor, and the Minimule pet is part of this reward line.

Mounts, Pets and Cosmetics

Reputation Tiers — What's Actually Known

Being straight with you: the full reputation tier breakdown hasn't been published. Only two gates are confirmed:

• Honored → unlocks the Advertising License Application

• Exalted → unlocks the Azeroth Commerce Authority Tabard

Craftsman's Writs may be available from character level 10, but their details aren't documented yet.

Unverified community reports put reputation gains at roughly 2,000 for the first crate quest, about 75 per writ, and 125 base for Expert Writs. Those numbers come from beta comments rather than official sources — useful for rough planning, not something to build a schedule around.

We'll update this section when the reputation track is properly documented.

Known Issues in Beta

Two things to be aware of, because they'll waste your time:

The Apprentice Textiles box was reported as bugged. If it doesn't behave as expected, that's a known beta issue rather than something you've done wrong.

The camp Auction House may not be connected to the main Alliance Auction House. This comes from beta player reports and isn't confirmed, but the implication is serious: if you post goods at Auctioneer Quickcoin expecting them to reach the main market, they may only be visible to players at the camp. Verify before you list anything valuable there. Use a capital city AH for anything you actually want to sell.

FAQ

What is the Azeroth Commerce Authority? An Alliance trade faction in WoW Forever, based at a camp outside Three Corners in Redridge Mountains. You loot and fill crates from around the world, hand them in for Merchant's Favor, and spend that currency on profession recipes, mounts, pets and cosmetics. The Horde counterpart is Durotar Supply and Logistics in the Barrens.

Where is the camp? Alliance: /way #44 10.5, 72.7 in Redridge Mountains, just outside Three Corners. Horde: /way #17 42, 34 in the Barrens outside Crossroads.

How do I earn Merchant's Favor? Loot crates around the world, fill them, and turn them in to Marcy Baker at /way #44 9.6, 70.9. Crates are worth 5 to 20 Favor each depending on type and quality. Shipping Labels and the Sealed Crate quests also award Favor, and Shipping Labels give 660 experience.

What's the cheapest useful thing to buy? Recipes in the 30–90 Favor band — Leatherworking, Tailoring, Blacksmithing and Cooking. They're the cheapest items available and they directly advance the profession you're levelling.

How long does the Pack Kodo take? It costs 6,000 Favor. At the best crate rate of 20 Favor, that's around 300 crates; at 10 Favor, around 600. It's a long-term accumulation goal, not a weekend purchase.

Can I get all six profession titles? Yes, but each certification costs 1,000 Favor and requires skill 300 in that profession — so 6,000 Favor for the set, the same price as the mount, plus six professions at max skill across at least three characters.

Why do Leatherworking and Tailoring stop at 235? That's the documented range for those two vendors. Everything else runs to 300. Since the certification requires skill 300, Leatherworkers and Tailors need another recipe source for the final 235–300 stretch.

Does this faction help with Legacy Points? Considerably. Legacy awards 18 points for reaching skill 150, 225 and 300 in the six non-gathering professions, and the six profession vendors here cover exactly those professions across exactly those skill bands. Note that Cooking is not a Legacy profession and gives no points.

Is there a gathering vendor? No. Herbalism, Mining and Skinning have nothing at this camp — which matches the Legacy system, where gathering professions also award no points.

Should I use the camp Auction House? Be careful. Beta reports suggest it may not be connected to the main Alliance Auction House. Verify in-game before listing anything you want a real market for.

The Short Version

This is a profession-levelling faction, not an endgame one — recipes start at skill 25 and writs may begin at character level 10.

Merchant's Favor is the bottleneck. Crates pay 5 to 20 each, the mount costs 6,000, and a single title costs 1,000. Spend first on the cheap 30–90 Favor recipes for the profession you're actually levelling, and treat the mount and the titles as long-term goals.

Four professions are covered to 300 — Enchanting, Alchemy, Engineering, Blacksmithing. Leatherworking and Tailoring stop at 235, so plan another source for the last stretch. Engineering has the widest coverage at 25–300.

And the real reason to engage: these are the six professions that award 18 Legacy Points at skill 150, 225 and 300. Cooking isn't one of them.
