Status Loot or status items are documents,
relics, scrying stones and amulets that various sentient monsters (Gnolls,Orcs, Nightbloods,
Goblins, Skeletons, etc.) hoard. When killed, they may drop one of these status items,
which may then be sold to certain city guilds to obtain personal and guild status points.
These are called "reverse writ".
Status items are sold to city adventure guilds to obtain status points. there are four
adventure guilds in each city; Fighter, Mage, Priest, and Scout. Each guild will only give
you status for their matching type of status item. In addition to gaining personal status
points for selling these items to the correct guilds, your guild will receive 10% of your
gained status, towards the guild level. Your guild will only receive status points for items
if the guild is lower than the item's tier. Regardless of the guild's level, you will always
receive personal status points.
You can visually confirm what type(s) of status you will be awarded by looking at the
status part of the sell price at the merchant. Blue numbers will give both you and your
guild status, yellow will only by awarded to you. When selling items in Qeynos and Freeport
there are multiple NPC's to sell to in each Guild area (this is left over from a long time
ago when each tier's itmes had to be sold to specific NPC's).
In Kelethin each guild only has one status buyer. The NPC will have a tag attached
to their name similar to .
In Neriak, City of Hate, you can sell all status items (regardless of type) to
T'Roveus M'Otal in the Guild hall (-103, 8, 319).
In Maj'Dul, there are Faction Merchants inside the faction locked Courts (e.g.,
Coin Faction Merchant inside the Court of Coin instance) that will buy all your status items
(regardless of type).
NOTE: Reverse writ status items do not give
faction.
