[image]http://i.imgur.com/lcdeVKW.png[/image] Reputation Farming Guide With the recent release of reputation many people have been asking "How do you rank up so fast?!?!?". This guide is to help those people. At the moment there are quite a few places that incorporate reputation. These places include Dwarfhold, the Evil side, the Good side, Yokai, Vampire and more!. So, lets begin. If you have trouble killing any monsters or need help with any of the quest, you can always make a post in the =AQW= Lets Party thread found within AQWorlds General Discussion. However, due to the nature of most reputation quest factions, oftentimes it is not necessary to find parties, or even full rooms. See below for more details. Table of Contents: Basic Tips: These are some ways to make farming less slow and more accessible for older computers. They may not be necessary at all if you have some sort of futuristic supercomputer. - Play on low quality with no sound (Options -> Visuals -> LOW, Sound effects -> OFF). Low quality graphics = reduced strain = less lag = faster farming
- Join a server with fewer people, if possible. This also reduces lag.
- Clear your cache, it also helps reduce lag by reducing the number of things your computer needs to handle at once
- Hide pets.
- Use simple items with little to no animation. Caladbolg is cool, but skipping frames isn't.
- You can even go as far as turning off capes and helmets. Do not unequip them because you will need the stat boosts.
- Pace yourself. You probably won't be able to go from Rank 1 to Rank 10 in a day, set some goals, only do a certain amount every day to avoid burning out.
Breakdown of Reputation Requirements - 1-2: 900 Rep
- 2-3: 2,700 Rep
- 3-4: 6,400 Rep
- 4-5: 12,500 Rep
- 5-6: 21,600 Rep
- 6-7: 34,300 Rep
- 7-8: 51,200 Rep
- 8-9: 72,900 Rep
- 9-10: 100,000 Rep
Rarely will you ever have to farm a faction starting from Rank 1 (most typically drop you off between Rank 4 to 6), but in total, you will need to gain 302,500 Rep in order to get a faction to Rank 10. This number seems daunting (doing the same 400 Rep quest would take 757 times), but as mentioned above, if you only do a little bit each day, it'll add up and finish soon enough. What class should I use? You will oftentimes need different types of classes to handle the different kinds of reputation farming. You will need a multi class and a single-target class. The following are some recommendations on either. There are more than the ones listed, but these are a few choice classes that make your farming experience much less painful. Out of these, Scarlet Sorceress requires the lowest effort to acquire, although it's not always the most efficient. Perhaps get SS, then grind out the factions for the other ones suggested! [;)] Multi-target Classes (for farming lots of monsters at once) Eternal Inversionist (AoE 6) Archpaladin (AoE 3) Blaze Binder (strong AoE 3) Blood Sorceress (AoE 3) Scarlet Sorceress (AoE 3, requires level 50) Royal Battlemage (strong AoE 3) Shaman (strong AoE 3) Daimon (AoE 3), only 200k gold required [image]http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/local--files/image-tags/membersmall.png[/image] Single-target Classes (for farming bosses) Dragonslayer General is probably the easiest to get one out of these, and is pretty strong against even non-dragons. Necromancer (Rank 10 Doomwood is needed for Blaze Binder, the buff makes this a decent pick again) Darkblood StormKing (doubles as a decent multi-target class) Dragonslayer General Legion Doomknight (seasonal) Stonecrusher Lightmage (requires 1000 ACs) Lightcaster (requires level 80 and Lightmage) Learn how to play them by following guides around the internet or by asking in the =AQW= Class Discussion threads in AQWorlds General Discussion. Advanced Tips: - Learn your skill keys. Skill 1 corresponds to keyboard button numeral 2, 2 = 3, and so on. Not only is this more efficient than clicking the skill icons, but it is also less strain on the hand.
- Know how you are farming. As many locations involve repeatedly defeating low-HP monsters, it is better to use something like Shaman than it is to use Elemental Dracomancer. There are some exceptions, which will also be detailed in their respective post positions.
- When possible, room-hop. This means typing /join place-100000, using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Copy the /join text, and then when you clear the room, press Enter, Paste, Enter to quickly join a new room. This is oftentimes faster than waiting for the room to respawn (especially when farming alone), and gets you to your goal faster.
- Know what you're farming. Exploiting type weaknesses can let you finish significantly faster than if you are not using them.
- If your faction involves killing a lot of chaos monsters, grab a Chaorrupter Unlocked to inflict 50% more damage.
- If your faction involves killing a lot of undead monsters, you may need a Blinding Light of Destiny, or Dual Chainsaw Katanas, or one of the Khopesh weapons to inflict up to 51% more damage.
- If your faction involves killing a lot of dragon monsters, equip the Dragon Blade or Evolved Dragon Blade to inflict 50% more damage. However, note that the first one costs 2500 ACs and the second is Legend-only, so you may not want to follow this tip.
- Sepulchure's Doomknight Armor or the Necrotic Sword of Doom can inflict up to 51% more damage against Humans. For players without access to those two items of dark power, Dual Chainsaw Katanas also does 25% more damage to Humans as well.
- For anything else, equip the Burning Blade, one of the three sacred Celestial Realm weapons, or any of the Archfiend DoomLord items to inflict 15% more damage to all monsters!
- Make your farming count for more! Use 2x Reputation Boosts, farm on Server Boost days, or equip items that grant more Rep per turn-in.
The following are a short list of items that improve Rep rewards. For best results, not using the weapon from these sets allows you to have a static weapon, or use one that grants boosts against monster types: - Equipping any piece of the Arcana Invoker set grants +15% more Rep
- Equipping any piece of the DoomKnight Battlemage set grants +15% more Rep
- Equipping any piece of the Set of Awe grants +25% more Rep, Exp, Gold, and Class Points
- Equipping any piece of the Light and Dark Sun Mage sets grants +25% more Rep, Exp, Gold, and Class Points
- Equipping any piece of the Archfiend DoomLord set grants +25% more Rep, Exp, Gold, and Class Points (and the aforementioned damage boost)
- Invest in a teleporter multi. If your quest-giver or the monster is in a location that's difficult to access, consider registering a new account (or several), placing him or her in position, and then you can use /goto to quickly handle quests.
