How do mechanics like item trading and faction reputation work in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader?
The item trading in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader is primarily based on the reputation that you’ve earned for each faction. Other facets are also considered, such as your Profit Factor. Here’s a quick summary:
- Each Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader faction has its own item pool and vendor. The higher your Reputation Points (RP) and rank with that faction, the more items you can buy.
- Instead of spending gold/credits/cash on each item, you only need to look at Profit Factor, which is more akin to a set level than a deductible currency.
- For each reputation tier that you reach, and assuming you have the necessary amount of Profit Factor, you can buy all the items for free.
- Here’s a quick example:
- Let’s say you’re at Rank 0 for a particular faction and that vendor is selling five items at Rank 0.
- You have 20 Profit Factor. The vendor has four items with a requirement of 20 Profit Factor or lower. The fifth requires 25 Profit Factor.
- You can buy those four items, but not the fifth. Your Profit Factor won’t be affected. Again, it’s not like a basic currency seen in most other games.
