1k base rep (according to wiki/whole value makes sense) +200% Mandate for 3000 final rep, missing 750

Is this intended - or a bug report to be filed? :thinking:

Altar reputation / xp boosts do not affect quest turn-in rewards.

so useless then :sweat_smile:
+75-100% on 1-2 rep trash mobs is… :woozy_face:

It all adds up tho. There are so many mobs to kill, especially totem farming. Plus, that % boost to rep helps when you kill hero/champs and/or bosses. It’s a tad bit of a time saver. For a crystal, it’s one of the cheapest mats to sacrifice. Yeah, should say rep (or exp) bonus on monster kills.

Edit.

I wonder if the altar rep bonus stacks with faction Writs and Mandates. That would be nice.

I noticed it when I tried to max Noktukari rep, where quest is the only source.

for what it’s worth it should also work for infamy.

7

what mi0 says
also kinda kurn :sweat_smile:

If this is during levelling then why the Dread are there? And altar cannot be used from the start of the game…

because i used the altar to try the new bonuses, void spawn chest etc too, i’m already deep into FoA there, at Utak Kunar

speaking of new bonuses, Resplendant chest doesn’t seem to spawn on Norm/Vet, or does anyone know if it’s just ridiculously low chance as altar bonus?

Dread should not spawn outside of ascendant. Just makes it tedious.

11

i realized, so i turned it off/reset the altar a bit after drying the sweat off from that 10min fight :sweat_smile:
i figured i’d just try and see XY, not expecting it was actually manageable to engage the Dread by then… well, as manageable as a lot of hit 'n run duck and weaving is for 10mins that is :woozy_face: - honestly thought i’d be more 1-2-3 tippity-tap deaded in attempt two
(aside from initially expecting it to just have despawned after killing me first)

unfortunately looks like it doesn’t boost infamy :confused:

13

okay, looks like it does work on infamy, but not properly on trash atleast, since i’m still only getting 1 rep for some trash kills instead of 2 :thinking:
Checking with actual boss kill infamy gain it’s very noticeable it’s applying there

could it be to rounding errors in the calculations, like floor instead of ceil?
