Reim Questions

[0zymandius]

Have gone on three successful runs with the wife so far, running as a level 14 cleric and level 13 warrior, both Voln UAC brawlers, and have accumulated a few questions (more to be added as we do more runs, most likely):

1) Will rares spawn in an area where you've already killed a rare (on that particular run)? To date we haven't seen one, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

2) How much reward do you get from the Reim Bounties? We tried to quantify it last night, but it's either completely negligible, or we were doing something wrong. Are these even worth doing?

3) Without need of blesses or boosts (so far anyway), is there anything we 'should' be using our Energy on? We live in Icemule, so it's an easy hike already.

4) What is the benefit of increasing Reputation?

5) Is there any way to get the Conqueror of Reim title to stick beyond your next login?

6) We've been using the system for Favor, as a quick way to rank up in Voln... but once we're done with that, the Reim system overall seems like a poor choice to spend our time? The treasure is far below mediocre [We're averaging about 30k total in coins, {precious few} boxes, gems and pawned items for two hours solid of hunting], there's no way to saturate... what's the appeal if not accumulation of favor? Just 'something different'?

Thanks all.

1) Once you kill a rare and received credit for it, no more rares will spawn FOR YOU. That distinction is important because if someone misses (your wife in this case) a rare will spawn for them (may take some time). Once everyone in the party has credit, no more will spawn in that area until you reset.
2) about 25-100 it seems since they reduced the earnings. Sometimes over 100. Reim bounty rewards ARE effected by goggles per Retser.
3) use as needed, BOOST ATTACK for emporer and empress to go faster, recover HPs recover mana as needed.
4)Reputation lets you hold more energy right now. There was talk at the start of allowing it to unlock items for sale or better prices but that was scuttled for the ghost bucks system per my knowledge.
5)There is not as of right now. You can unlock perm. titles by meeting certain REIM ACHIEVEMENTS
6)Ghost bucks, a constant like level hunting ground, Voln favor, which gets hard to accumulate in some level ranges. A near constantly spawning area to burn through LTEs and absorbs if you use them. Ghost bucks is a long term investment, if you are premium and enjoy the area, combined with the treasure roll at the end, the ghost bucks are icing on the cake to get yourself a nice prize in a month or two.

Re: 1) Does the leader of the group affect this? So once one spawns, if we want to get another, should we swap the group leader?
Re: 2) Blah. Still, every little bit counts, and since we're doing it ANYWAY
Re: 6) Forgot about these. Is there a way to consolidate them between my wife and I (assuming not, but figured I'd confirm)? And what's the most 'worth it' prize to shoot for? Both UAC users, and I know they have some gear for that, but haven't seen any details on the items

Appreciate the input, thank you!

No

50-100 script, some xp and stuff


3) Without need of blesses or boosts (so far anyway), is there anything we 'should' be using our Energy on? We live in Icemule, so it's an easy hike already.
Teleportation, Mana, Stamina, Attack/Defense boosts.


4) What is the benefit of increasing Reputation?

Increases potency of answer to #3


5) Is there any way to get the Conqueror of Reim title to stick beyond your next login?

No

Ghost Bucks, Ethereal Armor

1) Nope, even normal ghosts spawn @~level of specific people, you'll see it in the messaging A SUCH AND SUCH RUSHES SO AND SO. Group leader has no effect on anything other than normal group stuff in Reim.
2) exactly, it doesnt effect your cap, if you want next level stuff - Get a bounty 2 hours before you do REIM, go to reim with that bounty, if its easy or early, finish bounty turn in and try your luck on a second bounty you might be able to finish in that same run. Doesnt always work out, but sometimes you get 2 easy (like 50 kills or something like that) that you can easily accomplish in a single run.
6) Ghost bucks are character specific and non-transferable right now. "Worth it" is subjective. There is some really neat fluff items, or you can gamble for stuff (go vault, look treasure to see what is currently in the "hopper"). Or save up for the unlock certs and unlock and sell off a piece of Reim armor w/unlocks. The market is mostly around 10k ghost bucks = 1 mil silvers, more or less. There isn't a lot of demand for stuff, but there isn't a huge supply (right now) of it either. That may change over time as people save up ghost bucks, or it may drop off and be a bastard child. With Capped reim running nightly, and Reim defense fortress enjoying a niche group, its hard to see Ghost bucks going anywhere any time soon, as far as being abandoned.
