Fame: points in the beginning of a family?

[vonGenf]

Or perhaps the fame point doesn't apply to adventurers? Think about t for a second. Adventurers are commoners, not noble. What truly noble family would acknowledge that their family tree contained commoners? Wouldn't that be a logical impossibility? What could a commoner do that could possibly bring fame to a noble family, when that family vehemently denies any such connection exists?

I am 90% certain I once got a fame point for my adventurer dying.

Then again, that advy had recommendations, he just had not used them yet.

Recommendations wouldn't matter.

I'm absolutely certain that I got a fame point when my adventurer was executed at least. I don't know how it was with the one that got killed in action before that...

Aha, ok, so it's just not actually as definite as I thought then.  I was thinking, since it was on the Fame Box page, that "Unique Item" gave fame, for definite.

Clearly either it's to do with owning a unique item, not finding one, or it's just an educated guess that isn't actually right ;-)  Either way, not something for the bug tracker.

Keep in mind that the Fame Box page is merely a player's "Best Guess" as to what gives fame. It is no more authoritative than any other player's guesses. It is much sexier, though. :P

When Gsklee started Fame Box, he tried to keep it to confirmed fame only. As far as I have seen, it has mostly stayed that way. But even so, although we know that there is a'Trader" fame point, and 3 "Legendary Hero" fame points, the exact details of how you get them may still not be known.

I'm about 95% certain that I got the trader fame--sold food for 50g/100 profit to a starving City, and got a fame point.

I'm with you on that. Got a fame point after selling food to starving Wudenkin following the founding of Valhus. To be honest, I thought it was pretty widely known and had been discussed on the wiki somewhere. I guess even with the forum and IRC and everything else, there is still a lot of mystique to fame ;-)

It's listed on LemonFame2 but not officially confirmed by Tom, last I checked.
