Marika's Reputation
R-E-S-P-s’vee-T

Marika’s reputation affects how friendly NPCs interact with her. If they are dismissive, she will need to gain reputation.
Marika’s reputation with Lyrika, her home city-state, rises as she gains Rogue Rating ranks. A perfect rating contributes more than a lower rating, but any rating other than E contributes something.
Marika’s reputation with Golga, the head of Vallas, rises as she completes areas. She starts off as unknown, but can quickly make a name for herself! She gains one point toward this reputation per area completed, regardless of rank.
Shopkeepers tend to care more about Marika’s city-state reputation, as do NPCs that may reveal bonus areas.

Other NPCs, such as those that unlock key progression areas, care more about Marika’s reputation with Golga and Vallas.
Tip! If you are playing especially well, you may earn a high reputation with Lyrika early, thus unlocking hard levels before Marika is well-equipped to clear them. In the first chapter, one such level is Oil Well. However, there are powerful rewards for completing hard levels early!
