Suggestions for Renown (and breaking down Von1 Epic grinding)

[Okram]

so... now that we're done *****ing about epic tokens, how about renown?

[Kromize]

Honestly, I wish that monsters did not drop any renown. I personally loathe looting monsters' corpse. It is something from other MMOs that I was happy DDO did not include. It slows down the combat and quest progression too much. Putting something valuable in there makes it even worse. Consequently, it would also completely remove the chance for there to ever be a situation where "grinding mobs" the is the best way to acquire renown. It would all be about chests and end rewards.

If you really have to keep the corpse looting, then steal a page from FPS games and make us auto-pick the loot when we walk on it.

Hmm...grinding mobs...like...von 5 puzzle room...infinite respawns...infinite grind...hmm...they just might wanna think about that...

Thank you VERY much for this post (and all the work involved in it). I believe your numbers ARE accurate (or very close), but I'm going by memory.

Thanks also for you suggestions. I totally agree that a level 19 quest shouldn't offer 50 renown as a quest reward.

What about mobs that do not drop bags at all or have a low drop rate?

I ran Genisis Point on casual (killing anything I met) and got no bags at all (and so no renown).

The same lvl 19 then ran Kobold Assault on hard and got 150 (3 x 50) renown .
