Ryzom: Tribe Fame System: a research

Hello homins,

You wouldn't believe how much fun this was for me doing this research. I decided to do it, at the beginning, because I was looking for a way to move safely packers in Trench of Trials, through 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.

Code:

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. # CITIZENS (*) Gain Fame Lose Fame -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fyros Fyros Lawless Frahars Hunters Renegades Leviers Scorchers Oasis Diggers Pyromances Watchers Root Tappers Water Breakers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matis Matis Ancient Dryads Darkening Sap First Deserters Green Seed Sacred Sap Sap Slaves The Slash and Burn The Arid Matis Woven Bridles Kuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zorai Zorai Antikamis The Company of Darkening Sap Eternal Tree Goo Heads Ecowarriors Master of the Goo Icon Worshippers Sacred Sap Siblings of the Weeds Tutors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tryker Tryker Lagoon Brother Corsairs Slavers Ecowarriors Green Seed Root Tappers Shadow Runners Silt Sculptors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (*) 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).
