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.

 * "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)
 * "When you run quests at level, you have a 20% chance of finding renown in chests. For every level you're above the quest level, that chance is reduced by 4%. So if you're 3 levels over, you're looking at an 8% chance to find renown." (Dev MadFloyd on 07-22-2010, 01:01 PM link)
 * "the length of the quest affects your chances for renown in the end reward. Unless you're 5 levels over the quest, you should have a minimum of 50% chance to see renown and it goes up from there to 100% for a very long quest." (Dev MadFloyd on 07-22-2010, 01:43 PM link)
 * "it's based on the player with the highest level in the party." (Dev MadFloyd on 07-22-2010, 03:08 PM link)
 * "On Epic you have a 7% additional chance for drops from chests and monsters compared to Normal." (Dev MadFloyd on 07-22-2010, 03:09 PM link)
 * "the level of the quest iplays [sic] a role in the average value of the renown." (Dev MadFloyd on 07-22-2010, 03:30 PM link)
 * "Guild renown drops from chests and end rewards have been increased. End rewards now have a 50% chance to drop." (Update 5.1 Patch 1 release notes on 07-26-2010, 11:59 AM link)

Small Guild Renown boost
Small guilds (by number of unique accounts, not characters), get a "small guild bonus" to renown received by any of their members. 25 accounts or less should get this bonus. The bonus is supposed to ramp up the lower number of accounts are in your guild (26+ accounts get no bonus, 25 accounts get a small bonus, 24 accounts gets a slightly larger bonus, etc.).

Accounts per Guild boost multiplier. source Problem with Small Guild Renown Bonus Formula
 * 01 = 2.5
 * 02 = 2.8
 * 03 = 2.4
 * 04 = 2.6
 * 05 = 2.8
 * 06 = 3.0
 * 07 = 2.9
 * 08 = 2.8
 * 09 = 2.7
 * 10 = 2.6
 * 11 = 2.5
 * 12 = 2.4
 * 13 = 2.3
 * 14 = 2.2
 * 15 = 2.1
 * 16 = 2.0
 * 17 = 1.9
 * 18 = 1.8
 * 19 = 1.7
 * 20 = 1.6
 * 21 = 1.5
 * 22 = 1.4
 * 23 = 1.3
 * 24 = 1.2
 * 25 = 1.1

Example: If you had 6 unique accounts in your guild your multiplier would be 3.0 of the base renown gained. 5 renown would be 5 + (5 x 3.0) = 20 total.
