Please forgive me if this is a repeat, as I searched and could not find the question. What is the best way to earn reputation? I cannot seem to earn enough to get the rank for my level. I am trying, bit I do not know what to focus on......

Please advise.
Thank you

    1.) Buy anniversary packs/tokens (preferably with real life cash)
    2.) Open anniversary packs. If you bought tokens instead, skip to step 3.
    3.) Go to PWI boutique agent
    4.) Exchange tokens for commander reputation badges
    5.) ???????
    6.) PROFIT!!!

    I dropped the worry on the way-

    it's not unusual that it'll take more lvls to get the rep you need ;)
    best thing you can do is do all your quests and pick up some one man army quests along :) they'll get you reputation too.
    The other option is buying badges(?) that give reputation. They cost some though.

    If you don't want to buy your rep, I don't... You can run fbs with other people tabbing. Also when you can, you can work on solo fb51 runs, if it is still the same, it has the best chance of dropping darkness stamps. Which are more rep.

    Also you can do one man armies. No, they aren't quick to get rep from them, but if you have nothing else to do but grind anyways, it adds up.

    If you bought the packs, do #2, if you bought the tokens, do #3 instead.

    I hear the new public quest is a good source of rep. I wouldn't know since my main is in the level slot (81-94) where there is no public quest. b:angry

    It's FB59 which has the best drop rate on darkness stamps. Best FB51 run, I got 4 stamps. Best FB59 run, I got 18 stamps. Average from FB59 when I was level 73-79 was 8-12 stamps per run.
    Also you can do one man armies. No, they aren't quick to get rep from them, but if you have nothing else to do but grind anyways, it adds up.
    OMAs are a waste of time for the rep you get. If you're killing those mobs anyway for another quest, definitely pick up the OMA. But if you have time to burn, you will make more rep just grinding and buying a wraith soldier's dog tag (5 rep) for 40-50k. I suppose you could just grind on OMA mobs, but many of them are not ideal in terms of drop rate, ease of kill, or location.

    At higher levels, some OMAs give 3 rep, so those might be worth it.

    You'll never have enough rep to keep up with your rank, unless you buy it with IRL cash.

    I currently have a little over 4k rep, which equals to rank 3, which is the one you can get at lvl 50 b:chuckle

    Slowly but steady working towards rank 4 though

    Things must have changed then I guess. Because fb51 used to be the one to drop. I don't believe I have ever gotten any from fb59. But then again, I have run a few fb39s lately and before I never got them from there either. But I had the last couple I had done.

    Yea, FB59 gives good stamps, A few every run for me (but than again, I'm not verry lucky hearing how other gain stamps in the tens per run()

    Best way w/o spending irl cash: Do tons and tons and tons of FB whenever you can.

    The other best way is ofc spending irl cash: buy ani pack - get tokens (or items: sell it for coin and buy token from others) - exchange for rep badge. b:victory

    which is exactly what you did, right!? even with all that money spent, still an easy kill sadly... PVE server wizards fail at knowing how to shard gear; they all think G7+ citrines is the end all be all to gear.

    lol. you know, those little things called anni pack reward gear and garnet gems are pretty much allowing wizards to have kick-**** pdef and way more than expected HP with about 90% of the sockets on gear filled with G9 Citrines.
    But that doesn't come even close to what a Archer can do with about he same amount of cash , lol.

    In its first couple weeks, it was since there were many participating in it. Now it's not worth the time, and repair costs can easily exceed what you make in coin there.

    It's FB59 which has the best drop rate on darkness stamps. Best FB51 run, I got 4 stamps. Best FB59 run, I got 18 stamps. Average from FB59 when I was level 73-79 was 8-12 stamps per run.

    Yep, wine is wasted on this. I think it was level 74 that I cleared to drake in less than 14m while picking up all drops on the way.
    OMAs are a waste of time for the rep you get.

    Not at all. Rep tends to run at 10k ea, and at our level that's ~30k value just for hitting the NPC for small breaks. The mobs also drop rep items, and the quest leaves you available for FBs which you can watch for in WC, and FC. On the other hand: Public Quest would tie you up from FBs and cost you leveling and coin earning time.

    It's best if you can squad with other people on them. The NPC is usually close by as opposed to Justice Quests, and you get kill's that others make, so 40-60 mobs can go quick. Anyone that wants to do some rep farming on Styren Champions on Heaven's Tear: look me up.
    Be kind: Help the GMs to depopulate the servers.

    get a few people around your level to do one mans army quest w/ you
    since there are more of you, you can finish it much faster

    then just keep doing and doing and doing it

    Absolutely agree on FB59 - the stamps drop all over the place (maybe an average of 3 per spoke) - and give 8 rep per stamp. Very tasty.

    Other than that, your normal quests are the most efficient, once they're done, one man army isn't terrible.

    All pale in the faceof the might cash shop, of course. Still, I managed rank4 by level 80 without cash shop or sending many levels to the genie (Level 59 I sent, I think it was).

    Beyond that... 10k rep?! And no stamps dropping in FB69+ ... forget it.

    If you want to earn it, nothing beats FB59. I use a Zeal Genie to solo it, and can get plenty of darkness stamps for 8 rep each far faster than any other method (FBs, OMAs, Justice Quests, etc...)

    However, even the mighty rep-generating machine that is FB59 can't compare to the power of the Anniversary Packs. Both my girlfriend and I were able to buy Rank 6 (35k rep each) by buying Tokens and then selling Oracles for profit. Neither of us spent any real-life money, and it took us about a month to do.
