Doing Rites while we can and helping others

With the new fame system being introduce soon, I was thinking now would be a good time to get some of the opposing factions Rites done. With us only being able to get 25 fame in one apposing race and 0 in the other, this leaves us not able to do their Rites.
I was trying to get the Fyros Story 2 Rite done last night and realized I can't make Fyros MA of MQ or the 2H sword. I would really like to get the durability bonus from this Rite but lack the Fyros crafting plans. I'm looking for someone to help me finish this Rite. I have the required fame and skill but need someone to team with me and craft the appropriate items for the missions.
If anyone can help me please let me know, I'll be standing in Pry giving the mission giver a dirty look from about 4PM-8PM PST tonight.

i dont want to say anything bad, but..... isnt this kind of cheating ?

besides, why would you want to do opposing faction rites anyway.
You should hate them.
next thing you would suggest for world trek to get those missing tp's so everybody can stack tickets to apartement
(sry, i'm sleeping at 2am, so cant help)

With the new system you could do all the rites - it would just take you longer to do and (in some cases) you might need to change citzenship etc.
Back on topic: Send me a tell ig and I should be able to help you

No it isn't or else why would you be able to complete the rite by being teamed with someone and letting them craft? It's just one of the ways to complete rites and promotes team work.

I asked this to a GM several months ago when I relized this "rite by proxy" approach

The GM asked Nevrax/The powers that be. The official answer is that this is a perfectly valid way to accomplish rites.

You should hate them.
that's a RP choice. Some players that are deep into RP choose not to. Others don't even use racial spells other than their own.

The current rites only need around 35 fame with the races which will be still be possible for all non-citizens after the citizenship patch (capped at 50). So if you're going to choose a civilisation to join (remember, not talking about cult which will affect tp tickets) then yes, now is a good time to get them done.
I imagine there will be new rites that need >50 fame with a race one day, plus of course there are the citizenship/cult missions which will require messing about with fame if you want this content.
My question about stockpiling tp tickets hasn't been answered yet in the feedback section

I completed that rite a few weeks ago for the same reason
Be aware there's a minor bug in it. After the tribe chief tells you to go the first outpost, the mission doesn't go to the next step when you enter that outpost. It didn't proceed for me until I'd sat at the outpost for about half an hour. For all the outposts after that the mission does immediatly go the next step when you enter the outpost.
I believe the NPC's you're referring to are the ones connected to that rite, Cir.

The rite works as intended, the only thing that you can call a bug is, that the tribe chief doesn't explain, that the trial starts at midnight (I'm not sure if its exactly midnight or 1am) and you have to complete it until dawn.
If you know this, you can plan for the trial.

Thanks to the people that helped and offered to help, I got the Rite done today.
Anyone know what will happen to the fame I have now when the new fame system gose live? I have over 50 fame in all 4 races.
