OK, Is this something new? Please tell me what this is in regular speak...........

Reputation Virtue Enhancements
With the release of book 11, several reputation centers were put in the game allowing players to earn reputation based rewards with the various factions. Among the rewards are new items for the four races: racially specific rewards, called Awards, that grant a new racial trait which will increase 3 specific virtues by 1 rank for that character.

The 4 races each have their own racial award and may currently only use the award for their race. Here is a table showing the 4 races and their award information:

Race Reputation Center Rep. Level Needed Award Name Virtue #1 Virtue #2 Virtue #3
Thorin's Hall Friend Award of Dwarf Virtue Fidelity Honesty Loyalty
Elves of Rivendell Friend Award of Elven Virtue Charity Patience Wisdom
Mathom Society (Shire) Friend Award of Hobbit's Virtue Empathy Honesty Idealism
Men of Bree Friend Award of Man's Virtue Confidence Justice Patience

Thanks,
Ast

I see your lips moving, but I can't make out what you're saying ....

ast, when you have friend standing with one of those rep factions, you can go to your own race (for you its the elves of rivendell) and go to that rep faction vendor. you can buy a scroll that will give you +1 on certain traits.

so if you got the one from rivendell, you will get +1 on charity, patience and wisdom.

you can only buy it once and be used once

Thanks Bio for speaking clearly and slowly and even with that Aussie
accent we all like, I got it!

You also have to equip that trait under your race with the bard for any of those traits to take affect. Just reading the scroll won't do it.
