# Faction Fame

**Fame** measures how much you have done for your faction or organization. It comes in two layers - a shared pool that benefits everyone, and a personal score that ranks you against your peers - and both grant real bonuses.

Open the **Fame window** in game with the `@fame` command to see your standing, your rank, the active bonuses, and your decay timers at any time.

## Pool fame (shared)

Every faction has a **shared Fame pool** that all members contribute to, mainly by completing [Adventurer's Company](/aincrad-legacy-docs/progression/adventurers-company.md) missions.

* As the pool grows, the faction unlocks **cumulative tiers** of bonuses.
* These tier bonuses apply to **every member** of the faction - your effort lifts the whole alliance.
* A baseline **passive bonus** is always active for members, even at tier 0.

## Personal fame (individual)

Your **personal Fame** is your own score within your faction.

* It **ranks you against the other members** of your alliance.
* The **top 3 ranked members** each earn a distinct, rank-specific reward bonus and a visible status effect that marks them as elite.
* The top 3 also display an exclusive **title** right before their name, visible to everyone, for as long as they hold the rank:

  | Group           | Titles                         |
  | --------------- | ------------------------------ |
  | KOB             | 1st / 2nd / 3rd **Oathkeeper** |
  | DDA             | 1st / 2nd / 3rd **Dragon**     |
  | MBC             | 1st / 2nd / 3rd **Panther**    |
  | ALF             | 1st / 2nd / 3rd **Liberator**  |
  | Laughing Coffin | 1st / 2nd / 3rd **Mad Demon**  |
* Personal Fame **persists** even if you change guilds within the same alliance.

## Laughing Coffin and PvP fame

The **Laughing Coffin** organization earns Fame differently - through **player versus player combat**. When an LC member defeats another player, they **steal** part of the victim's Fame (the victim loses it). LC also has its own deep set of cumulative tiers.

## Fame decays

Fame is not permanent. Both pool and personal Fame **slowly decay over time**, so staying near the top of the rankings means staying active. The `@fame` window shows exactly how long until your next decay tick.

## Switching alliances has a cost

Changing to a **different** alliance (for example, KOB to MBC, or a faction to LC) applies a **Fame penalty** - you lose **40% of your personal Fame**. Switching guilds *within* the same alliance, or simply leaving to no alliance, costs nothing. Loyalty is rewarded.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aincrad-legacy.gitbook.io/aincrad-legacy-docs/factions/faction-fame.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
