Factions in Deepwoken

What is Reputation in Deepwoken?

Reputation in Deepwoken represents how factions perceive the player based on their actions. It ranges from -300 to 300 and determines the titles and benefits or consequences associated with each faction. High reputation can grant allies and buffs, while low reputation can result in attacks and restrictions.

What are the reputation statuses?

Reputation statuses in Deepwoken range from -300 to 300, each with distinct effects:

Title Reputation Amount Effects
Hero 300 Highest positive reputation, likely grants significant benefits (details not specified).
Ally 150 to 299 NPCs from the faction count as allies, benefiting from buffs and talent effects.
Friend 1 to 149 Positive interactions with the faction.
Neutral 0 No significant effects.
Enemy -149 to -1 NPCs attack on sight, player appears on bounty boards, and loses access to certain NPCs like Blacksmiths.
Hunted -150 to -299 Player can be attacked by randomly spawning NPC ambushes.
Villain -300 Cannot pay Bribe NPCs to reset reputation.

How can players gain/lose reputation?

Players can gain reputation by:

  • Completing quests from specific NPCs.
  • Completing Bounty Hunts (excluding factions without Bounty Boards).
  • Helping NPCs in certain random events, primarily Faction vs. Faction scenarios.

Players can lose reputation by:

  • Committing crimes within faction-controlled areas (assault, assassinations, killing town guards or players within the town).
  • Killing NPCs from random events that spawn without an enemy faction.

How does the bribe system work?

Players can pay specific NPCs up to 1200 notes to reset their reputation to the starting amount, usually Neutral (0). The exact cost depends on how much below 0 the player’s reputation is. Note that only 6 of the 11 factions offer this service.
