Renown in World of Warcraft Dragonflight is the equivalent of the old reputation system introduced back in 2004. Unlike the traditional reputation system, Renown has 25 levels, with each being unlocked after you reach a certain threshold.
In total, there are six reputations in Dragonflight: Dragonscale Expedition, Iskaara Tuskarr, Maruuk Centaur, Valdrakken Accord, Wrathion and Sabellian, and the Cobalt Assembly. While Dragonscale Expedition, Iskaara Tuskarr, Marruuk Centaur, and Valdrakken Accord are the four major factions tied to zones, the Cobalt Assembly and Wrathion and Sabellian are minor reputations tied to Iskaara Tuskarr and Valdrakken Accord, respectively.
Each zone has its own unique ways of farming Renown, but the most common way of grinding Renown will be by completing world quests. For Dragonflight Expedition, you can also level up your Renown with Dragonscale Expedition Flags scattered across the first zone of the Dragon Isles, the Waking Shores. Before you can jump on your Dragonriding drake and start collecting the flags, you’ll need to meet some requirements.
Here’s a quick guide on Dragonscale Expedition Flags, including how to unlock them and all their locations in Dragonflight.
