Easiest Way To Gain Honour & Prestege
« Topic Start: November 24, 2012, 10:24:48 AM »
Hi all,

Can anyone help and advise the easiest way to gain honour and prestege, I want to become an infiltrator but our regions are quiet at the minute to no battles are happening.

Thanks in advance.

Better yet, try to fight monsters/undead on your own. That works wonders for your honour and prestige.

Think my character in Sorraine gained much more h/p while staying at home slaying monsters than the noblemen who went out to a long distance war.

Of course, fodder means investing in your own region/city, since you get most of it back through the production increase.  Otherwise it's a terrible means of increasing prestige as it's much too costly.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

it's not terrible if other means like battles don't give you much prestige after 40ish/50ish...

of course.. that's not why my priest lord (who is now 2nd in pres over in bt) invests a fair bit..

As long as you have a never-ending supply, I guess.

I've been getting it every week for almost seven years now. Doesn't show any sign of stopping.

If you have high-income characters and no expenses, sure.

What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

If there's no fighting, then you're not spending a lot on soldiers. And with the shortage of players, having a low income is your own fault.

As an aside, you can always ask your neighbors if they need help fighting monsters. This is especially welcome if your neighbor *is* at war.

If there's no fighting, why stay in that realm?  Battles are much better at prestige gaining than investing ever will be, albeit less safe for older chars.

A shortage of players, yes, but not so short that everyone can gets 200+ per week in every realm.

I'd be very surprised if you had neighbours willing to let your army into their realm unless it's being completely overrun with monsters. -_-

Some people like their realm, despite the lack of battles. Yes, changing realms and seeing some real battles will probably be best for your H/P, though.

No, you may not be able to get 200+ in every realm, but 150 isn't exactly poor. If you're getting less that 100, you're probably getting ripped off. (Or you're one of those 3 realms in the entire game that have "enough" nobles already.)

It doesn't take an entire army to go monster hunting. 3 or 4 nobles will do. And any realm that is at war will normally be thankful to a friendly neighbor that can take care of a random monster group that is bugging them.
