Renown
A per-guild contribution score. It rewards the people who actually turn up.
Where renown comes from
Renown is defined on character slots. Every slot — on an activity, an event or a recurring pattern — has a Renown Reward field: Points awarded upon event completion.
Setting it needs renown write rights (or edit rights when changing an existing one). Without them the field is disabled and shows (No permission). See Roles & permissions.
Put the reward on the activity, not the event. Slots copy across when an activity is used as an event template, so you set the numbers once and every future run inherits them. Weight the unpopular slots higher if you want them filled.
Awarding it after an event
Renown is not automatic — someone confirms who actually showed up.
-
Once an event is in progress or finished, open it. The header gains a Renown button.
-
The panel has two columns. On the left, To Process lists every participant with an Accepted / Declined toggle. Accept All and Decline All handle the common cases in one click.
-
Check the summary line — {n} accepted, {n} declined — then press Process Renown.
-
Processed participants move to the right column as a read-only history. When the left column empties it reads All participants processed.
Accepted participants receive their slot's renown. Each gets a Discord DM titled Renown Earned, and a summary is posted to the guild channel.
Awarding it by hand
For anything that did not come from an event — helping a new member, running a side group, whatever your guild values.
Open a member from the guild's Members tab. With renown read rights you see their total; with write rights an Adjust: field appears. Enter a positive or negative number (−9999 to 9999) and submit.
Manual awards are not tied to an event. The recipient gets a Discord DM titled Renown Awarded.
Where renown shows up
- A sortable Renown column in the guild's Members table — your de facto leaderboard.
- The same column on a role's user list.
- On each member's detail page, with a count of accepted awards.
- In Discord: the
/trax renowncommand, and the weekly guild digest.
Using it well
- Be consistent. Renown is only meaningful if it is processed every time. Make it part of closing out a run.
- Price the hard slots up. If nobody wants to tank, make tanking worth more.
- Decline honestly. Declining someone who did not show is what keeps the number worth having.
- Say what it buys. Renown is a number, not a rule — put what it earns (loot priority, raid spots, titles) in your guild announcement.
