Devlog #42 | Faction Rewards
A devlog post about the state of Vagrus - The Riven Realms
With the arrival of Factions to Vagrus, you guys got a new way to specialize your comitatus.

The Name of the Game
In its core, the system is well-known in video games: build more reputation by doing repeatable, procedurally generated Tasks as well as unique stories, unlock higher tiers of Standing with a Faction by doing so, and receive your rewards. The higher the Standing, the better the rewards - it is that simple. Or is it? Of course, staying friendly with a Faction might be a challenge of its own, seeing how they tend to hate each other so passionately.
