WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
The relevant faction quartermaster in a friendly hub. Check the faction’s reputation tier and vendor inventory.
Writs and Mandates are faction-specific consumables that increase reputation gains. A Writ becomes available at Honored and is used by the character who buys it. At Revered, a Mandate becomes available; it can be placed in the shared stash for another character. The practical farm is reputation through quests, faction kills, and bounties, then purchasing the appropriate consumable from that faction’s quartermaster. These are purchases, not random drops.
Reach Honored with the faction to buy its Writ, or Revered for its Mandate.
Have sufficient Iron Bits for the purchase.
Shared stash access if transferring a Mandate to another character.
Open the Faction Window and identify which faction’s reputation you want to accelerate.
Complete that faction’s quests, kill its enemies if it is hostile, or take its available bounties.
When the faction reaches Honored, visit its quartermaster and buy the Writ if useful.
Continue reputation gains until Revered, then return for the Mandate.
Use a Writ on the purchasing character; place a Mandate in the shared stash to transfer it if desired.
On the target character, retrieve and use the Mandate before earning more reputation.
Continue normal faction activities with the bonus active and buy further consumables when available.
Farming tips
A Writ helps one character; a Mandate is the transferable choice for preparing alts.
Faction reputation also unlocks quests, gear, augments, blueprints, and services, so choose the target faction based on what you need.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable as a vendor purchase when you meet the faction tier and have Iron Bits. Each consumable is used once; the reputation already earned is not farmed again.
Common mistakes
Looking for a random Writ drop: buy it from the faction quartermaster after reaching Honored.
Trying to transfer a Writ: only Mandates can be shared through the shared stash.
Buying before checking the tier: earn Honored for a Writ or Revered for a Mandate first.
When to stop or switch
Stop purchasing once the target character has the desired reputation tier or enough bonus to finish the next unlock; spend further Iron Bits elsewhere if reputation is no longer the bottleneck.
