Diplomancer  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 4.3.0.112
by: Phanx, Akkorian
Diplomancer proactively changes your watched faction based on your current location.

It differs from other faction-switching addons in that it changes your watched faction as soon as you enter a particular area, instead of waiting until you gain reputation with a faction. It includes faction associations for about 90 zones and 150 subzones, covering all continents and game expansions. It also recognizes faction champion tabards inside appropriately-leveled dungeons.

For example, while you’re in Dalaran, you’ll watch the Kirin Tor. Fly down to Dragonblight, and your watched faction will change to the Wyrmrest Accord. At the Argent Tournament Grounds, you’ll watch The Sunreavers if you are a member of the Horde, or The Silver Covenant if you’re a member of the Alliance. Inside Utgarde Pinnacle, if you’re wearing a Tabard of the Ebon Blade, you’ll watch the Knights of the Ebon Blade. Head back to the Black Temple to finish up your Outland Raider achievement, and you'll watch the Ashtongue Deathsworn.

If you find yourself in a location without an associated faction – for example, if you’re a troll on a weekend camping trip in the lovely Redridge Mountains – Diplomancer will watch your race’s faction. If you would prefer to watch another faction instead of your race’s faction, you can choose your own default faction.

Diplomancer was inspired by Charnow’s SmartFactionWatch.

Thank you for that, I've just checked and it's all working fine now.

I noticed that Diplomancer doesn't switch the faction to the Alliance faction Baradin's Wardens when you are on Tol Barad on an Alliance toon in Tol Barad Peninsula and Tol Barad the open Battleground. I do not know if the Horde has a similar problem with there faction Hellscream's Reach in the same zones. Can I request these factions be added to these zones as well to auto switch them when you teleport into these zones. Thanks! Great addon!

Noticed that Mount Hyjal doesn't appear to have any faction set for it. As far as I can tell it is purely Guardians of Hyjal for the entire zone. Also with the Twilight Highlands Highbank and Krazzworks both seem to be Bilgewater Cartel zones for the Horde.

Okay, the Twilight Highlands should be properly mapped for the Alliance now. Let me know if anything isn’t right, or if you have suggestions for other zones.

OK, sacrificing my dailies for today, here is the Alliance rep map for Twilight Highlands:
  1. Stormwind - Highbank, Obsidian Forrest, Victor's Point, Twilight Shore
  2. The Earthen Ring - Ring of Elements
  3. Wildhammer Clan - Kirthhaven, Victor's Point (mostly SW, however), Firebeard's Patrol, Verrall River, Thundarmar Ruins, Thundermar
For Victor's Point, I would just go with Stormwind because there are more of those guys than Wildhammer Clan dwarves.

I’ll go with setting the whole zone to watch the Wildhammer Clan, with an exception for the Highbank subzone to watch Stormwind. Are there any areas outside of Highbank where quests given there take place?

Twilight Highlands and Alliance

Here is a map of the zone, for reference. The subzones with a blue flight point are all Wildhammer Clan reputation: Thundermar, Highbank, Victor's Point, Firebeard's Patrol, and Kirthhaven. Dunwald Ruins is also Wildhammer Clan until the phasing turns it into no man's territory, possibly Horde. I don't play Horde, so can't say for sure.

Hope this helps!

There is an RSS feed for bug reports, so I see them almost right away. The only problem is that since they are on Phanx’s author portal, I can’t change the status of tickets. We’re working on finding a solution for that, though, so feel free to keep using the ticket system.

Firstly I'd like to say thank you to Phanx for creating this addon and I hope you enjoy your break. Also a big thank you to Akkorian for looking after it (and others), it is much appreciated.

I posted a bug report regarding missing Worgen and Goblin starter zones, which you've responded to already, but I've now updated with an additional note regarding a couple more areas. Is posting a bug report still the best way to let you know about anything or do you prefer another method? I was going to ask here originally, but had a few account problems which have now been sorted out so my apologies for not asking sooner.

I’ll be looking after Diplomancer while Phanx is taking some time off. The latest update includes all of the changes she’d made but hadn’t yet released, and faction data for several Cataclysm zones. I’m currently focused on leveling a new character and seeing all of the old-world changes, though, so I haven’t yet played in any of the new zones. Feel free to post suggestions for additional faction associations if I haven’t gotten to them yet.

Version 4.0.3.76
  • Added faction data for several Cataclysm zones
  • Added an option to change your default faction based on which faction you’re currently championing
  • Added support for the expanded faction champion system in Cataclysm
  • Added LibBabble-SubZone-3.0 for subzone translations, so Diplomancer no longer needs to maintain its own translations

As long as you don't call it "Diplomancer", feel free.
