Reputation

Summary

After gaining the Reputation Urn from the Grandmasters, you can fill the REP bar to increase your Renown level.

Reputation can be earned from various sources...

• Raising friendship tiers
• Slaying monsters
• Completing tasks
• Winning certain events
• Owning a business and getting positive customer feedback

You can view your reputation progress by selecting player progress from the main menu.

Shop Reputation

Reputation, along with Brass, is one of the primary outputs of running a shop. Whilst all reputation gains are added to your Reputation Urn, the shop ledger will also track reputation gains earned exclusively from the shop. As this is different to your overall reputation gains.

The more your customers appreciate your service the higher your shop reputation will grow. The higher the reputation you gain, the further afield you'll attract customers from. Ranking up your shop reputation also rewards you with perk points to spend on shop upgrades. Over time it also dictates the complexity of customer requests. Running a shop starts off relatively straightforward but then evolves to be more complex over time.

You will gain reputation when a customer is pleased with your service and price. How this works is different for each shop type.

Goods Store

Reputation in the goods store is based almost entirely on item price.

• Set the price high and you might make more money but your reputation will remain low.
• Set the price low and you'll receive more reputation at the expense of less profit.

Keep an eye on the brass customers are willing to pay for each item and set your prices accordingly.

Being slow to serve a customer can also generate a drop in reputation.

Blacksmith

As prices are fixed in the blacksmith, reputation is gained on the quality of the final product.

The higher the quality the more pleased a customer is with their purchase.

Reputation can drop by being slow to serve a customer but it will drop significantly if an order isn't ready to collect when a customer returns.

Apothecary

Similar to the blacksmith, prices at the apothecary are fixed. Reputation gained on the accuracy of a cure.

Patients come in with ailments with multiple symptoms, the more of those symptoms you can counter with a single cure the better. The biggest reputation gains are made on perfect cures. Cures that cover all ailments and have no lingering side effects.

Renown

As your Reputation Urn fills up it will eventually cap.

The player should visit the Grand Masters at The Circle before that point to cash in their reputation for Renown levels.

Your renown level is what pushes the story along. Each new level reached unlocks some story exposition from the Grandmasters, a new item and a unique quest related to the ongoing narrative.
