One of 2 topics I'd like to put out there today.
*just a concept, but I'm hoping that moar and better ideas spring up from this*
400 favor is currently unattainable for most houses.
Why not have a progressive counter? (Normal/Hard/Elite rewards stack.)
The actual awards could be an additional % or + # to ship buffs,
Or give an XP boost,
Or a choice of the area's named heroic loot,
Or give a related boost to a skill (much like Coin Lords diplo & intim)
Anything will work, It's like the Monster Manual, (overlooked by many) a part of the game that people could get some lootz or a boost for achieving.
