Sons of Hodir reputation question

Hello!

I had a question regarding the Sons of Hodir reputation entry in the database. It didn’t seem like an issue since it’s working correctly in game, so I didn’t want to open anything on GitHub, but I do want to understand how it works just so I can wrap my brain around it.

On my server, I have a character who is somewhere into Honored with the Sons of Hodir. When I look in the character_reputation table in the database, though, their faction standing is set to 51175, which if I’m not mistaken is somewhere above the reputation cap. Other factions seem to work as I would expect them to, which is why I’m confused. Am I just misunderstanding how reputations are calculated or am I missing something obvious here?

The reputation sums the values of lower reputations.

ie 12000+21000+the rest of needed reputations.

Sorry, don’t understand - what lower reputations? I didn’t think there were prerequisites for that reputation, if that’s what you mean.

I looked into it a little further and 0/3000 Neutral for Hodir is 42000, but 0/3000 Neutral for every other reputation is 0.

I apologize for not understanding! :frowning:

42000 is the sum of:

			[Unfriendly](http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Unfriendly)
		
		
			3,000
		
		
			 
		
		
			Cannot buy, sell or interact.
		
	
			[Hostile](http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Hostile)
		
		
			3,000
		
		
			 
		
		
			You will always be attacked on sight
		
	
			[Hated](http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Hated)
		
		
			36,000

Ok, got it. So why do other reputations define 0/3000 Neutral as 0, and seemingly only Sons of Hodir uses the behaviour that you’re describing? I guess that’s what I’m most confused by, since I expected to see consistent behaviour across all factions in the table.

Spent some time looking through the source for mentions of reputation with ID 1119 or just the name “Hodir” in files, but no luck as far as understanding this. I feel like I’m not grasping something obvious here, but it just doesn’t make sense to me. I haven’t found any other faction that behaves like this in rep calculations.

Are there any other factions that behave like this?
