Vendors that are associated with a faction are known as Quartermasters, and are located in different parts of the world, more often at the hub for that particular faction. When a player interacts with a Quartermaster, the entire inventory is displayed, regardless of reputation requirements. If an item is displayed in a red font, the player is not eligible to purchase that item until the repuation requirement is met. When interacting with these vendors, hovering the mouse over individual items will show the reputation requirement, which allows players to gauge their needed reputation improvements, and to plan for future upgrades. The equipment which a Quartermaster sells may be gear such as weapons and armor, or it may be tradeskill improvements such as a new “recipe”.
