Can we move this discussion of SL and the Paladin in SL to this more positive and constructive thread (I give some good information about Conduits etc) about SL prot?
SL PROT: BRIEF REVIEW AND GUIDE - KYRIAN
To answer your question, renown gain should be much faster than reputation gain. That has been my experience so far. I have received sever al renown tokens which give you 1 renown. Renown rank ups also give you specific rewards. You get most things from unlocks from daily quests(not sure about that one), world quests and the campaign. You get conduits as quest rewards. The quests seem to move along pretty quickly and the unlocks with them. If you will respond to my SL Prot thread, I can list some things you unlock over there such as
Forge of Bonds - Conduits
Sanctum Reservoir - Covenant or Zone Unlocks
And so on. Dont let yourself get distracted with grinding dungeons for gear. Conduits are more important than the best gear.
