Destiny: Rising Reputation Guide and Tips

by

Starting out in *Destiny: Rising* can be overwhelming with all the icons, quests, menus, and different types of currency. Like many games of this type, there’s a lot to do! One system you might miss at first is Reputation. While it doesn’t give you instant rewards like new characters or better gear, focusing on Reputation is a really smart way to make steady progress in the long run.

What is Reputation in Destiny: Rising

In *Destiny: Rising*, Reputation shows how much different leaders and groups throughout the game trust you. As you earn Reputation, you’ll rank up, gaining access to valuable items, unique rewards, and more ways to improve your team.

Consider Reputation as a way to help your campaign move forward and level up your team faster. While your characters get stronger through experience, gear, and specializations, Reputation makes sure you consistently receive the essential materials and currencies you need to continue progressing. This includes things like Lumia Leaves, Glimmer, Mythic Weapon Parameters, and even rare Engrams – it’s a reliable source of resources.

How to Unlock Reputation in Destiny: Rising

You won’t be able to use Reputation features immediately. You’ll unlock them as you play through the game’s story, specifically when you reach the “Imminent Storm” quest in Chapter 1-2. This quest will take you to a new area called Jiangshi Metro, which you can access from your World Map. There, you’ll meet Mu Ying, who is the first character that lets you spend your Reputation points.

By talking to him, you can view:

  • Your total Reputation earned
  • Your current Reputation rank
  • Rewards you’ve unlocked so far

As you play through the game and discover new areas, you’ll encounter other leaders who have their own reputation systems. Building relationships with these leaders unlocks unique rewards and ways to progress, encouraging you to explore everywhere. The game introduces this feature gradually, but it’s easy to miss. Once you unlock it, regularly completing missions for these leaders is a great way to earn rewards and improve your standing.

How to Increase Reputation in Destiny: Rising

Now, let’s get into the exciting part! Earning Reputation is versatile, with lots of different ways to do it. However, some methods are more effective than others. If you want to get the most out of your time and climb the ranks quickly, here’s a breakdown of the best approaches, ordered from most to least efficient.

Daily Commissions

The fastest way to gain Reputation is by completing Daily Commissions. Each one rewards you with 70 Reputation, but you only receive a limited number each day. Because of this, it’s best to focus on completing your Commissions as soon as you log in to ensure a consistent flow of Reputation.

Public Events

Public Events are similar to Front Lines, but offer more variety in what you’re asked to do – one might involve defending a location, while another has you defeating groups of enemies. They don’t offer as much reward – around +25 Reputation each – but they happen often and are a good way to pass the time when you’ve finished your daily Commissions and aren’t playing Front Lines. Plus, it’s enjoyable to team up with other players!

Exploration and Side Content

While exploring isn’t the fastest way to increase your Reputation, it definitely helps! You’ll earn small Reputation boosts by opening chests, finishing short quests, and completing objectives unique to each area. Think of these as little rewards that add up as you discover new parts of the map – a nice bonus on top of everything else.

Front Lines

Front-line missions are quick, randomly appearing tasks on the map. They generally involve defeating enemies in a specific location and give you +35 Reputation each time. Although they don’t offer as much reward as Daily Commissions, they pop up frequently and are easy to finish. Completing several Front-line missions one after another is a good way to consistently earn Reputation while you’re exploring the world or working on other goals.

Final Thoughts

Okay, so the Reputation system in Destiny: Rising isn’t super exciting to look at, but honestly, it’s *so* worth it. I’ve found that if I just do my Daily Commissions regularly, and throw in some Front Lines missions and Public Events when I can, I climb the Reputation ranks pretty quickly. And the best part? It unlocks a really consistent flow of awesome stuff! It’s a great way to get rewards if you put in a little effort.
