Azeroth Commerce Authority
AllianceOriginally commissioned to facilitate trade across the Eastern Kingdoms, the ACA now maintains supply routes to Alliance forces worldwide.

The two trade factions, their Craftsman’s Writs, crates and rewards, as the beta client has them: 150 writs across 5 professions and 46 crates.
Data from the beta client (build 1.60.1.70205), compared with Classic Era 1.15.9.69722. The client does not say how much Favor each turn-in gives, what anything costs in Favor, who sells the rewards or what the quests give: this page shows none of that.
One for the Alliance and one for the Horde. Their names and descriptions are the client’s; the side is the one their tabard is limited to.

Blizzard introduces them as two new Alliance and Horde factions and a major source of new tradeskill activities. Blizzard’s article on the Legacy System
Merchant’s Favor comes from turning in a crate to one of the two factions. The client says so in the text of this Legacy perk:
You have a 5% chance to receive 100% increased Merchant's Favor when you turn in a crate to the Azeroth Commerce Authority or Durotar Supply and Logistics.
Performance Bonus, in the Legacy Professions tree, has 3 ranks: 5%, 10%, and 15%.
Merchant's Favor
Worth a considerable amount of gold and thus used as an interim currency among high-traffic merchant organizations. Members of the Durotar Supply and Logistics or Azeroth Commerce Authority would be willing to trade for this.
What the items themselves say, in order. The client does not say which crate comes from which, or what each turn-in gives.
The Waylaid Crate
An eagerly awaited shipment that never arrived at its destination. Some of its supplies are missing.
Use: Read the label to identify the shipment.
The labelled crates
The sealed crates
15 sealed crates: five ranks and three qualities
Deliver the completed crate to your faction's trade representative.
The empty container
An empty crate that should be returned to your faction's local trade representatives in the interest of reducing future shipping costs.
30 labelled crates. Each one is filled with any one bundle from its list; the quantities come from each crate’s spell. The client’s text:
Fill the crate with any bundle from the following list:

150 Craftsman’s Writs. Each one asks for an item made with a profession: here is the recipe that makes it, the skill, where the recipe comes from and its materials.
“Requires” is the skill the recipe asks for. When the client does not give it, the level at which the recipe turns yellow is shown.
