So now that you the temple guards are unattackable, we are expected to run the same missions HUNDREDS of times to get 60 fame for PR teleports?
Im presuming there is another way i dont know about or something, cause thats completely ridiculous...trying to raise my fame at lvl 25 doing those missions was PAINFULLY slow, so god only knows what it must be like at lvl 40+.
Im SO glad I have my fame already, as running those missions over and over and over and over again is about as appealing as zahans mismatched armour

it's not that slow if you do the bandit mission's. and still fast if you are kami and spend some time with the kuild

(sure there is similar kami village if you are karavan)

Guardians of the Eternal Tree for example?

(or whatever that tribe is called...

)

Welcome to my world. I couldn't gain fame from the guards after -100 karavan, so I've been doing missions since about -86 kami fame. Hey, I'm up to -58 fame, about a month and a half's work.
And Rushin, tell me more about these missions with the Kuild?
But yeah, doing missions where only half work...is a major pain, and a zillion times worse than digging alone.

Meh, the missions are no problems really. I got three of my Karavan points from the guards, but as that was an exploit it didn't feel right for me. The rest is from missions
If you take a few missions every time you leave your home town it's not that bad. For a Matisian there are 4 bandit tribes to pester plus a bunch of those kill gingo/ragus-missions that takes no extra time to do (because the dogs will seek you up anyways).

so, if i get this right, you are not allowed to defend yourself when guards attack ? how boring is that ;-(
about missions: fh/dd/rw/pyr/yrk/zorai tp welcomer kill bandit/tribe missions are the way to go. you dont need xp, so you can just use your higest level to kill them (oops, now they gonna nerf this too

I'm with Rundll on this,
I did the missions myself to get from 0 kami to 61 kami and it took me an age, I noticed the higher level missions *dont* give more fame than the lower level missions so really it was a case of going to each capital, killing the bandits there (except tryker due to silly amount of swimming)
the missions dont need to be changed, what does need to be changed is the amount of fame relating to the lvl of the area. Killing a purple level tribe should net you a massive fame boost where killing blue level bandits just a small increase.
killing tribes also no longer alters fame (not even negativly) as I kill the green seeds *from habit* every time I happen to pass and since the patch a while ago my fame has not moved with them.
It does need pointing out grinding missions is not a fun or productive way to spend 4-5 hours playtime a night for 3 weeks (hmmm maybe someone should point that out to blizzard too)
