Reputation is a core mechanic in Caves of Qud. Each creature in Qud, including the player character, are favored or disliked by each individual faction. The particular reasons for faction feelings are randomly generated (described in more detail on the faction relationship reasons page). Depending on the reputation with a faction, the members of that faction will be out of three different feelings:

  • Hostile- Actively trying to attack the player. Cannot be spoken to for water rituals or conversations.
  • Neutral- Has no major feeling either way. Will become hostile if purposefully struck.
  • Friendly- If the creature that the faction is friendly to is attacked, all members will turn hostile towards the attacker.

Gaining and Losing Reputation

Reputation is used as a sort of currency that can be traded, gained and lost depending on the player character's actions.

Gaining reputation

Reputation with a faction can be gained by:

+100 +50
  • Water Ritualing a Legendary creature loved by that faction
  • In water ritual, give gossip that the faction is interested in
  • Kill a legendary hated by that faction
  • Water Ritualing a Legendary creature liked by that faction
  • In water ritual, give a secret that the faction is interested in
  • Kill a legendary disliked by that faction

180-200 reputation can also be gained by using a Schrodinger page from the Annals of Qud.

Unconventional reputation gains

Depending on the faction, reputation can be gained in unique ways.

  • Donating an artifact to the sacred well will grant variable reputation with the Mechanimists based on the artifact's commerce value.
  • Completing quests will grant reputation with a certain faction
  • The council during the The Earl of Omonporch will alter faction reputation wildly in either direction

Losing Reputation

-100 -50
  • Water Ritualing a Legendary creature disliked by that faction
  • In water ritual, ask for a secret
  • Kill a legendary liked by that faction

Unconventional reputation losses

There are certain ways to lose reputation due to more specific actions, some specific to one faction.

  • Barathrumites can teach the player tinkering recipes for reputation
  • Merchants' Guild and the Consortium of Phyta will trade their most valuable item in their inventory/equipment for reputation
  • Factions based in villages will teach a recipe and/or a signature skill for reputation.
  • Using precognition to equip the amaranthine prism and cancelling the vision to unequip it will decrease the player's reputation with Highly entropic beings by -100
  • Killing any creature that the player has previously performed the water ritual with in that game will violate its covenant, decreasing the player's reputation with all factions by -90 to -110. [2]
  • The council during the The Earl of Omonporch will alter faction reputation wildly in either direction

Reputation's Effect on Trade Prices

Reputation with the merchant also affects trade prices, acting essentially as a bonus or penalty to the player's ego modifier.

Reputation with merchant Bonus applied to Ego Modifier for Trade
600 or more +3 bonus
250 to 599 +1 bonus
-249 to 249 0
-599 to -250 -1 penalty
