Displaying your Trophies

You’ll earn trophies at the end of most major quests. You can also earn them by winning contests outside of quests as well. The primary use of trophies is to gain renown; if you select your trophy from the item menu while in a town, you’ll be given a set amount of time to show it to as many people as you can. If enough people see it, you’ll
receive a renown bonus (depending on the trophy) for each one who did. Several tips designed to maximize the amount of renown you earn with your trophies appear below.

• Well-respected characters can ask any townsperson to follow them, and they’ll agree (if only this worked in real life!). Spend a few minutes finding all the people in the distant corners of town, ask them to follow you, and lead them to a central location. Then display all your trophies one by one for easy, huge renown bonuses.
• At certain times of day, especially when day turns to night, large groups of people will gather in areas like the local tavern. Needless to say, these are the best times to display your trophies. So don’t be modest; hoist that baby high and give the groveling masses a taste of your well-gotten gains.
• You can display each trophy as many times as you want, so don’t worry if you mess up. You’ll receive more renown, however, only if you beat your old best score for that trophy.
• The best places to display your trophies are large, open towns with lots of people. Early in the game the Heroes’ Guild is best, but later in the game Knothole Glade is
• easier.
• Always start at a place with lots of people so you can earn a large time bonus right from the start. Then go running after the stragglers.
