3. Right-click on the crests to gain guild reputation. Consider using a reputation accelerator (may be granted by Hobbit presents, or purchased from Marks vendor).
4. Remember to repeat the process of making each crest each day, and consume it to gain reputation.
   • with normal real life interruptions, a character can gain Westemnet standing with the Guild in about a month
5. The easiest way to reach Honoured (Minas Ithil) Master of the Guild standing is to have the Minas Morgul Expansion.
   • Pick up the quest Back to Basics - Chainmail from Hávar.
   • Follow the quest chain to get a total of 200.000 rep, which is what you need to reach Honoured (Minas Ithil) Master.
