Tribute and You

• System unlock: Available around Omens of War / The Serpent's Spine on live servers.
• Four tabs (alt+U): Personal Tribute, Guild Tribute, Trophies, Guild Trophies.
• Active slots: Five personal tribute effects can be active at once. Pick the five worth paying for.
• Costs favor: Each active line drains favor every 10 minutes. Higher ranks cost more.
• Toggleable: Activate before a fight, deactivate when AFK to stop the drain.

• Guild halls: Both a personal tribute master and a guild tribute master are stationed there.
• Starting cities: Various starting cities have a personal tribute master. Plane of Knowledge does not.
• Summoned personal tribute master: A clickie from the Special tab summons a level-1 personal tribute master wherever you drop it. Same interface as the stationary NPC. Carries the system anywhere you can stand.

• Heroic stats: Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, Agility, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma. Most classes load the heroic stat that matches their primary role.
• Resists: Magic Resist, Fire, Cold, Disease, Poison, Corruption. Slot when you know an encounter pushes one element.
• Focus lines: Burning Affliction (DoT damage), affliction haste, and others, useful when your gear is missing a focus you'd otherwise be wearing.
• Defensive stats: AC and HP lines for tanks.
• Ranks: Each line has multiple ranks. Higher rank = bigger effect, higher activation cost, higher 10-minute drain. Rank up and down to tune cost.
• Rank ceiling: Most lines scale to level 130; the high-rank values are below current-tier gear but fill gaps.

• Open the tribute UI (alt+U): Shows your active personal tribute, drain rate, and the activate / deactivate button.
• Sample drain: A loaded set in this video drains 352 favor per 10 minutes.
• Effect on toggle: Stats jump immediately on activate. Example: heroic dexterity went from 38 → 44 with the tribute live in the recording.
• Deactivate when AFK: Under Options, enable Auto Off Tribute when AFK.

• Donate gear at the tribute master: Right-click into the donate slot, see the favor value, hand it in.
• High-tier gear pays well: A raid weapon shown in the video lists at ~46,000 favor. Tier-1 cleric raid armor lists at ~37,000.
• Defiant gear pays modestly: ~64 favor on a defiant spear, fine for incremental top-ups, not the main income line.
• Use old raid gear you no longer wear: The cleanest source. As you outgrow a tier, dump the lower set into tribute.
• Reference favor pool in the video: 2.4M, built up by donating outgrown raid loot over time, not by farming.

• Who can change it: Guild leader and officers, not regular members.
• Separate favor pool: Funded by donations from guild members.
• Effect example: The guild tribute line shown grants +700 HP, mana, and endurance when active.
• When to use it: Raids, guild tribute usually stays off during normal play and toggles on for raid windows to control the drain.
• Solo guilds: If you run a one-person or small guild, this is yours to manage too. Cheese resist or focus lines you can't otherwise stack.

• Where they live: Placed in your house. Activate from the inventory tab while inside.
• Old-school sources: Quest rewards from expansion lines. The House of Thule grants a lot of trophies through its quests.
• Modern sources: Expansion collection achievements. Shattering of Ro's Storm Chaser collection awards the Brazier of Magic trophy, +115 to all heroic stats and +250 spell damage / healing.
• Trade skill trophies: Each trade skill has its own trophy. While active, the matching skill cap raises from 300 to 345.
• Persona caveat: Trophies settings are persona specific, so you must set them for each persona.

Activate flow: Shift+I inside the house → Items → Trophies tab → activate. Stats update live; deactivating reverts.

• Tanks: AC, HP, heroic agility, heroic stamina. Add Vengeful Aura when you can fit it.
• Melee DPS: Heroic dexterity, Fury of Combat (flurry chance with two-hand attack), attack-line buffs.
• Casters / healers: Heroic wisdom or intelligence, focus lines you don't already have on gear, mana regen lines.

• Magnitude: Modest. The level-130 HP line gives ~650 extra HP, a rounding error against a 100,000-point hit.
• Where it matters: AC lines (~85 extra AC at top rank), heroic stat lines (+26 heroic), and focus lines that fill gaps in gear.
• The honest summary: A small lift. Worth running for the gear-gap fills and the heroic stats; don't expect tribute to carry an undergeared character.
