I was told that I should make a thread for this since I was crouding the chat box! ; )
I've noticed that it isn't worth it to try and quest and try to rank up. If ranking up is your goal then there are some things that I have noticed that help.
- Having a piece of armor that you are wearing with the "popular" rare qualiity will really increase the rate at which you gain rank.
- Also, if you are interested in gaining fame as well from gaining rank, then you should wait to before talking to the queen (which is the bottom icon in the courts that requires 3 quests to click on it) until you have checked the rank/favor charts and find yourself around 10000 favor. If you do this and gain all of your ranks at the end then you will gain over 8k fame when ranking up from squire to Seneschal. It's a substantial amount of fame so I find that it's worth it since otherwise you will lose all the fame you gain from ranking over the period of gaining favor in the Courts.
- I can't be sure conclusively right now if Gaming or Mingling is better, but in my opinion you should go with the stat that is higher (guts/charm) or the stat that you are more interested in getting. I personally favor gaming since it is a stat that I don't mind increasing in the Courts. (You can gain great amounds of charm in other ways so I choose guts & gaming in the Courts). Up to personal preference though.
I hope this is helpful to people and I hope that it makes ranking and gaining favor in the Courts easier for a lot of people. Thanks for reading my spiel if you read through it all.
