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.

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.
