For Hero reputation with the Central Authority in Deepwoken, you need to reach the top rep threshold: 300 reputation, which is the “Hero” title for that faction. Recent community guides on the Authority Origin say you can get there by completing Authority jobs/missions at Fort Merritt, and one guide specifically notes that you “just do your missions” until you hit the needed rep.

Practical answer

  • There is no fixed mission count in the sources I found, because reputation gain varies by quest/job and some are repeatable.
  • In practice, players usually spam Authority jobs until the rep bar reaches Hero.
  • If you want the exact number for a specific job, it depends on which mission you’re repeating and whether you already have positive rep or penalties.

Player guide advice| Do Authority missions until you reach the needed rep 9

Fastest interpretation

If your goal is unlocking the Authority-related content, the important part is not a universal “X missions” number, but getting to 300 rep with the Central Authority. So the real answer is: enough Authority missions to reach 300 rep, which varies by mission.
