Standing and Tokens

Each faction tracks your Standing with it, and each yields its own Token. Both are per character and do not carry between characters.

Standing Points (SP). You earn SP for clearing that faction's sites and for killing its mini bosses. A small site gives about one point, a larger one more, and a Captain or Champion more again. To receive credit for a mini boss you must have done at least 5% of the damage it took (or equivalent healing) and been there when it died. There is a limit on SP per hour per faction, so carrying or looping does not help.

Stage	SP	What opens
I, Initiate	0	Sites with Captains
II, Veteran	10	Champions and grander sites
III, Champion	30	The faction's Hold
After the Hold	Warden killed	The first Writ (Pinnacles and Writs)
IV and V	60 and 100	Cosmetic titles and token discounts, no power

Expect several hours of focused maps per faction. Most of that happens while levelling from 69 to 85.

Tokens. Lion Crest, Falcon Feather, Cobra Fang and Naga Pearl. Each site yields one to three, mini bosses more. They are bound to your character. You spend them mainly on extra Writs: 15 Tokens (or 100,000 gold) buys another attempt at that faction's pinnacle.

Seasons. Standing restarts in each season and is kept in Standard (Seasons).

Where to see it. The Atlas window shows each faction's SP, stage and Tokens. The Atlas table sells Writs.

Tips. Pick one faction at a time. Stay on one Focus until Stage III so that your sites keep coming (Atlas Focus). Parties share a site's rewards fairly (Parties in maps).

Status: Standing and Tokens work. Stage III's reward, the Hold, is being built (coming soon).
