Being a hero is not always easy, because sometimes that means being a villain to others. So it's even more important to keep a good reputation. Especially, in Final Fantasy 16 with his renown system, where you can get donations and gifts once you increased it. Here is everything you need to know about the system.

Final Fantasy 16 Patron's Whisper Guide: Renown System And Rewards

Final Fantasy 16 will have a renown system which can help you during your playthrough. Here is how it works: There are several people in the in-game world that will donate crates filled with items and resources to you. You can get them, when you increase your renown by solving missions.

You're able to claim this donation from the character Desiree. Just talk to her and choose the "Patron's Whisper" dialog option. You will find Desiree and the Patron's Whisper in Cid's Hideaway, the central hub area of the game. The Hideaway will be unlocked while progressing through the game's campaign.

The Donation Crests

As stated before, the crates come from different people in the world when you increase your renown enough. The crates contain items, resources or materials. You can use them to craft or upgrade equipment. Also, some of them might contain ability points, which you need to learn or upgrade skills and abilities.

Talk to Desiree and choose the donation crate, then press the claim button and open up your donation. Hopefully there is something you need in it. Good Luck!

Raise Your Renown

Is there a better way to help the Final Fantasy 16 world by slaying mighty and fearsome enemies? No, of course not, so it's a nice coincidence, that you need to do exactly this to increase your renown. You just have to hunt marks from the Hunt Board. To get the hunting quest, just talk to the character Otto, he is standing right next to the hunting board.

Then you will be able to claim the hunting rewards and increase your renown points. Your targets are located all over Valisthea, so be ready to travel a lot for these missions. But hey, the prospect of donations with free materials, resources and especially ability points makes it worth!
