Tribe Fame System: a research

Post by gcaldani »

Hello homins,

you can't believe how much fun was for me doing this research. I decided to do it, at beginning, because I was looking for a way to move safely packers in Trench of Trial, thru Bounty Beaches. Mainly I hate teleporting all the time to level my bad PR foraging skill. Bounty Beach is a nasty place, so would be really helpful having a tribe camp there to rest my bones and feed my animal. I soon discovered that the only tribe that could be useful, the Slavers, are a nasty bunch of evil homins that hate us, poor friendly trykers...
Having -67 fame with them I decided to discover how to increase it so I can use the camp safety but, as often happens in this strange planet, I found myself soon doing a whole research on all the tribes living here.

Most of them were already landmarked on my map, the few I missed I used BM site for the position (I normally never use spoilers, but I will need a lot of timework for this research so I decided to do. Anyway, only 6 tribes were missed in my map).

The research took me about 4 atysian months to complete and now I want to share with you my results, because would be nice to see the research done by a kamist and a neutral and other races, to compare the different results about current/max fame.

My starting setup:

I am tryker, karavan aligned and stateless. Before, I have done only Corporal and Karavan missions (in towns). Unfortunately, I never wrote on paper the fame gained/lost from Corporals, so my actual fame can be a little different from the default. In the past I have done missions only for Corsair, Silt Sculptors and Green Seed, but this happened before the fame system was patched in game, so I think they didn't affected my fame at all.

I have done 1 mission from the Tribe Welcomer of each tribe, choosing between a "reconaissance" mission and a "hunt carnivores" mission. I never choosen a 'kill bandits' mission as I don't want to gain/lost too much fame, expecially when I had to do missions for kami aligned tribes :) . Anyway I have seen that most of the tribe fame gained was at least 1 point, the same was for race fame, while my karavan fame never moved from the actual value (don't know if it is because of the fractioned value or just because it is bugged).

I found also 2 bugged Tribe Welcomers, i ticketed when found the first, didn't ticketed for the second, but csr told me that developers are aware of the problems into the fame system.

My initial fame ( i don't write here the tribe fame, as you can easily find it in the following table, subtracting 1 point):

All races: 50/50
Karavan: 92/100
Kami: -62/-50

Here is the full fame table (highlight the text to read):
(if you don't want spoilers and go to research by yourself, don't highlight the text to read it)

Fields with '!' means I was not able to get missions from the Tribe Welcomer.
In parenthesis there is the name as it appeared in my fame window, different from the effective name.

(x) Strangely, after the mission i can see the tribe listed, but it shows -66 fame, 
this means i had -67 before the mission. 
Why the Tribe Welcomer gave me a mission? This sounds a bug.

(*) These tribes attack me also if i have a fame higher than -65.
I was able to get a mission tho, but it's up to you to discover how i got them.

(**) They have no sign of a faction into camp, but 2 give positive fame 
with Karavan and 1 with Kami, also 2 of them are enemies of a tribe 
present in the same region, regardless of the faction.

(*) I have done one mission from some city welcomer, captain, corporal and
ambassador. It seems to me that everyone gives the same fame related to
their race, so i assume all the NPC in towns gives the same fame. 
'Same fame' means, here, the same kind of gain/lost fame relations 
with tribes, not the fame values.

Furthermore, karavan welcomer at altars give only karavan fame, 
i suppose the same is for the kami side.
But, finally, I discovered what I was looking for at beginning: 
factions into tribe camps :) give me the fame needed.
The requirement is '0' fame with the faction so, at least a small advantage 
to neutrals is here (very small, i admit) as they could work with all tribes,
if they want to.

I will work in the future to remove the '!', but anyone that can fill them is welcomed.

Final note:
Seems to me that tribe fame is not faction related.
For ppl that, sure, will tell me that there is a matrix in ryzom.raum, I just point that it is not complete and not easy to read (and, as i said, i had a lot of fun doing this).
I don't know if the rule 'less than -65' should be the only one for the KoS behaviour, but some tribe KoS also with a higher fame, probably because of something related to the Lore. Also I don't know if they stop KoS if you get 0 or higher fame (i have to try it) but i suppose they should do. For sure the system have some bug and I hope the developers will work to fix them. Tribe Camps are very useful.

I hope you appreciated this job and would be really nice to see any addiction to it, expecially from homins with different starting fame (and relationship).

You should be KOS at -51 or -50.decimal. -66 is a hard cap for fame only dependant on your racial origin and/or Citizenship, Faction allegiance.

The initial tribal fame scores depend on your race. The tribal fame caps are faction dependent. For instance, if you went to the Ecowarrior tribe as a Tryker before you took the Karavan rite, you would have found an Ecowarrior tribal fame cap of 100. However, because they are such ardent Kamists, after you took the rite, your Ecowarrior tribal fame cap drops to -50. You can get to -50.0000 fame with them and they will stop attacking you however.

If you want to see more discussion of tribal fame caps and such, there is a old Ballistic Mystix thread:

I know that, that's why i asked different homins to put their contribution and why i wrote my initial fame.

I have also indicated what tribes attack me, and there are only 5 kara tribes and 6 kami tribe that kos me actually.

The BM post don't show the gain/lost fame for missions, that is what this post is meant for, not for the caps. I shown the caps just because there is room for it.

I have advised for a couple of mistakes in the tribe listing at BM (and they corrected them pretty fast) so this job had some use ;)

x Calel:

don't seems to me that -51 is the limit for KoS as Tutors don't attack me, but, hey, it can be a bug then.
But, Ecowarriors, speaking about one named by riveit, not only didn't attack me when i had -51 fame (now is -50) but they helped me when I got aggroed.
Also, the tribe welcomer minimum fame to get missions is -65, so for me the kos is for fame lower than -65 unless lore/racial related.

Nice work, Gilgameesh. :) We should compare KoS lists. I have some odd ones that chase me even though I have +16 fame with them.

Ty :)

Well if some tribe chase you with positive fame, this answer to one of my questions. In this case, reaching 0+ fame don't give friendship? Maybe it's another bug. If it's race/lore related, then I hope Nevrax had some logic when they implemented the fame system.
Actually, if things are lore related, should be nice to have advises from NPC (maybe the tribe chief or any other) instead of having to read, eventually, the chronicles outside the game.

Bear in mind, they didn't help you really, they killed those tresspassing in their sector :P

PM me any locations you needs for tribes (or other misc info), I had them all listed before my old site host died and I lost all my notes... I have screenies of the locations of all tribes and, just haven't redone the work to repost them logically.

BTW, I always love folks that do their homework... fame is complicated.
