As players do good deeds for the various Factions in Aestilon, they will collect Renown points.
These renown points, or reputation points, will grant them benefits with these factions.
A character earns renown by completing missions or quests that serve an organization's interests or involve the organization directly. Renown is awarded as the players complete these missions or quests, typically at the same time you earn experience points. Completing quests is the most direct manner, as you earn 2 Renown with the questgiver, 1 with each if it was a joint quest.
However, you can also indirectly gain renown. If your actions during a quest or during downtime directly benefit a specific organisation, you will gain renown with them.
Disagreements with members of an organization aren't enough to cause a loss of renown within that organization. However, serious offenses committed against the organization or its members can result in a loss of renown and rank within the organization. The extent of the loss depends on the infraction and is left to your discretion. A character's renown within an organization can never drop below 0.
As your renown with an organisation grows, you'll gain access to more advantages from the organisation. Your primary organisation will even grant you big bonuses which you can utilise.
Below list will show the benefits that all organisations have. The individual organisation pages will list the bonuses unique for that organisation, as well as the various ranks you can get within the faction.
