Why Honor ceased to advance

The virtue Honor of my Bard stuck at the 2nd level. It doesn't increase even when I killed balrons. How come it is so, any idea?

Honor has two components that factor into gains... The fame of the monster and the method of attack.

I don't know the specific calculations, but I'm guessing provocation may discount your honor gains like taming does. Do you still get the message about gaining honor?

No, I no longer see the message of gaining honor.

Gaining Honor:

You can gain Honor by engaging in honorable combat with monsters or NPCs. You can do this by double-clicking the Honor icon on the Virtue gump and targeting an appropriate opponent. You will face your opponent, bow to them, and speak the words, “I honor you.”

You then must defeat your opponent in an honorable fashion.

Honorable combat is defined as:

  • Allowing your opponent to damage you first.
  • Engaging in one-on-one combat.
  • Not using ranged weapons, unless you stay in the same spot where you honored your opponent, or you only damage your opponent while adjacent to them.
  • Not allowing your pets or summoned creatures to help you during the battle.
  • Avoiding the use of poison.
To engage an opponent in honorable combat, your opponent:

  • Must be one that you can perform negative actions upon.
  • Must be at full health.
  • Must not already be honored by a nearby player.
  • Must be close to you, in your line-of-sight, and have a clear path to you.
The amount of Honor you gain from defeating your opponent is determined by how closely you followed the above guidelines for honorable combat, as well as your opponent’s level of fame.
Most bards run magery or mysticism, what is your template. If you are ranged or a caster, make sure that you stay in the same spot that you honor them which can be tough.
