Fame Box/Careful Research

Highlight

Mentor Fame

Source

Extract from Class-page: "Slowly but surely, you may just see your fame rising and your name being echoed in far-away lands."

Guess

Related with the amount of gained mentor points.

Deduction

'Slowly but surely' indicates two things, 'slowly' that it is that not much or that often, 'surely' that it is a definite Fame point at one (or multiple) pinpoint number(s) of mentor points, and not randomly. As I have already two people concurring with one of those numbers being 50, it is most likely correct. Other persons don't know exactly what number, but agree they could very well have recieved the fame point for benig mentor.

My guesses at other numbers would be 100 and 150. Since no one reported ever to have gotten higher, I don't know whether it is just every multitude of 50 or else.

Bounty Fame

Source

From one of Tom's hints in Lemon Fame.

Guess

Related with the amount of gold be put up within a single addition.

Deduction

It seems safe to assume that there is no Fame for the sheer size of the bounty, at least not solely depend on which. We know that the highest bounty ever is 1550 gold. We know from Tom's hints that this Bounty Fame has been collected by some. I have a character with a bounty of 1000 gold but there is no Fame for this. So unless a trigger was set for a bounty beyond 1000 gold, which seems very unlikely to me, continuing the search towards this direction will likely to yeild no result.

One of the popular guesses is that there are something between the Fame and the number of nobles adding to the bounty. I hold this to be unlikely as well, because contrary to what is stated on the bounty board that all additions are anonymous, this will require a few more hidden variables attached with the bounty to do the checks on this Fame. And if this Fame was not there as early as the bounty board function was implemented, this might cause some problems. More importantly, it is my own belief that all of the Fame points are checking on some parameters that can be viewed by the players as well, hence the above guess has basically violated this belief of mine.

The assumption that this Fame is related with the amount of gold in a single addition you make is also an extension of such belief. It sounds logical, is something the Fame trigger can check on without attaching more hidden variables, and is something the player can see.

I am able to tell that if this is really it, it is a value higher than 150 gold.

Infiltrator Career Fame

Source

From one of Tom's hints in Fame page and Lemon Fame.

Guess

Total bounties collected, amount or times.

Deduction

From "technically also in others, but I doubt anyone but an infi could really pull it off", I would guess it referred to the fact one can collect bounties by seriously wounding or killing someone else. And the comment was given before Duel was implemented.

Skill(s) Fame

Source

From one of Tom's hints in Fame page and Lemon Fame.

Guess

Well, in fact we are almost sure that the threshold indicating "exceptional" is at 50%. What we don't know is that whether all eight skills currently inside the game stand for their own independent Fame point or share over one single point.

Deduction

My current guess, based on several observations to some other players, is that you will be awarded 1 Fame point for each of your first three skills reaching above 50%. After that, you have got all Fame in this category, and further 50% in other skills will not grant more Fame.

Marshal Fame

Source

From one of Tom's hints in Fame page and Lemon Fame.

Guess

A battle huge enough, perhaps the using of marshal staff is required.

Deduction

Too little is known to make any useful deductions. It's placed here simply because it is more than plausible. Doesn't mean we know more about it.

Plausible

Trader Fame

Source

From one of Tom's hints in Fame page.

Guess

Ending starvation without profit.

Deduction

Reported by Gloria Santos. Sounds plausible, but perhaps a little bit too easy? Shouldn't be hard to varify if you have a trader character.

Religion Fame

Source

From one of Tom's hints in Fame page and Lemon Fame.

Guess

Loren suggested it has something to do with either the combined sizes of all temples, or the declaration of a state religion, or perhaps both.

Deduction

Sounds plausible, but seems not easy to be verified.
