"Championing" is a system for earning Faction reputation for certain Northrend-based Factions.
The system makes use of Tabards available from certain Factions at Friendly reputation. By wearing a Faction's Tabard, one gains the Champion buff for that specific Faction and can then gain reputation for kills in any level 80 Dungeon, regardless of the Dungeon's native reputation.
For example, if a player wears the Tabard of the Kirin Tor in Utgarde Pinnacle (or any other level 80 Dungeon), each kill will grant Kirin Tor rep.
Currently only four major Neutral Factions in Northrend can be Championed:
Only Dungeons meant for level 80 players apply to the Championing function. Kills in Heroic Dungeons reward more reputation than kills in Normal-Mode Dungeons.
This basic chart breaks down the reputation rewards for Dungeon mob kills:
| Normal | Heroic | |
| Non-Elite | 0 | 1-2 |
| Elite Trash | 5 | 15 |
| Super Trash | 10 | 30 |
| Boss | 50 | 250 |
