Guild Renown

Overview
Guild Renown is the method that a Guild uses to gain Guild Levels, as a Guild goes up in levels they unlock various Guild rewards. See Guild Level article for the list of rewards.

How to get Guild Renown
The most basic way to gain renown is to kill NPC's, once an NPC has been killed whether by you or another party member (and you must be inside the quest instance) you will have a percentage chance of gaining renown from that kill.

Guild Trophies (Renown tokens) can also be found in chests and reward lists sometimes.
 * Heroic Deeds - + 50 Guild Renown
 * Tales of Valor - + 150 Guild Renown
 * Impressive Trophy - + 500 Guild Renown
 * Legendary Victory - + 1,000 Guild Renown


 * "We've made a change where mob renown won't rely on collectible bags. Hopefully this change will hit Lamannia on Friday." (Dev MadFloyd on 06-10-2010, 08:30 AM link)
 * "'Odds of renown dropping should be similar to the mechanic used to give XP vs the level of a quest. The higher the player is vs the content the lower the odds, and vice versa.' That has always been the intention." (Dev MadFloyd on 06-10-2010, 01:02 PM link)
 * "We've increased the base chance of finding trophies in chests, and also increased the "epic difficulty" bonus. End rewards should have trophies available very often. (Nearly 100% for Long or Very Long dungeons, in fact.)" (Dev Eladrin on 06-10-2010, 10:38 AM link)

Small guilds (by number of unique accounts, not characters), with get double renown. This was broken on Lamannia and applied to ALL guilds, and is currently turned off. 25 or fewer accounts is considered "small."
 * "The small build bonus has been fixed and will appear in a patch." (Dev MadFloyd on 07-02-2010, 02:36 PM link)
