How to get Faction Reputation Points in Windrose

Windrose has different ways for you to gain resources and rewards, and Faction Reputation Points will help you to get some of them by completing various tasks. You’ll be introduced to four different factions as you progress along the main campaign.

Getting Faction Reputation Points will help you to improve your standing with them and get more rewards. Let’s find out how to obtain these points.

How to earn Faction Reputation Points in Windrose

Before you can earn Reputation Points, you’ll need to unlock factions. You have a relationship with every faction, and you begin at level one. As of writing in early access, the upper limit is four for every faction.

To earn these points, you’ll need to hand over special items to Bounty Agents. You’ll find an agent associated with each of the four factions. You’ll need to find the main base for the factions, and then interact with the bounty agent to hand them the special items. Some, like the People of Tortuga, can be pretty tricky to find on the map.

Here’s a list of all items that you can exchange and get Faction Reputation Points in Windrose.

• Newhand Insignia: One Point
• Deckhand Insignia: Four Point
• Veteran Insignia: Twenty Points
• Old Salt Insignia: Eighty Points
• Letter of Favor: Ten Points

How do you get a Letter of Favor in Windrose

To earn a Letter of Favor, you’ll have to complete Faction quests. You’ll unlock them as you progress along the main storyline. There are several that you can complete on the side. Finishing these quests will fetch you a Letter of Favor that you can then exchange with the Bounty Agent.

How do you get Insignias in Windrose

Insignias are random drops in Windrose that you can find when you defeat different enemies. You’ll have higher chances of getting an Old Salt or Veteran Insignia from tougher enemies, but they will be significantly harder to take down.

Insignias can be found in a pretty routine fashion as long as you’re actively engaging in combat.

Tumbaga Ingot is one of those rare materials that you’ll need to find in Windrose, which is required to ascend different equipment. It’s one of the several types of Ingots you can obtain in the game. However, you can’t smelt it, which makes the process more difficult.

Let’s find out how you can get this unique ingot on your pirate adventure.

How to find Tumbaga Ingots in Windrose

So, you can’t smelt and make Tumbaga Ingots. In fact, you can only find it in specific locations. To find Tumbaga Ingots, you’ll have to head inside Ancient Ruins. Ruins are marked on the map, but their locations will be different due to the nature of the game’s map.

When you reach an Ancient Ruins, you’ll find a cellar entrance. Just look around the ruins, and you’ll find the cellar. Take the entrance to reach underground, and look around. Look for chests that are located in the ruins. Be careful, as you’ll find enemies (I found them during my rounds, but this can once again be different in your case).

Open the chests, and you’ll find Tumbaga Ingots. On my save, they’re not guaranteed, but the spawn rate appears to be quite common. However, they only appear to spawn inside the specific chests found in Ancient Ruins. This could change in the future since Windrose is in early access, and there will be updates.

How to use Tumbaga Ingots in Windrose

When you find a Tumbaga Ingot and read its description, it says that it’s required for ascending weapons. Since I am in the mid-game stage, I haven’t actively reached the stage where the weapons can be ascended. It’s tied behind a quest.

While it will take some time before you can ascend weapons, you can upgrade them quite early in the game. If you choose to upgrade them, you can improve their stats and how they function. Ascension, on the other hand, adds new skills for the weapons.
