Status points
From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki
Status points are a kind of currency that you can earn in various ways, and they can be used to purchase 'special' items that would otherwise be unavailable to you. If you visit a merchant and some of the price of the item is displayed in light blue, then you will need to use status points to pay that cost.
You can earn status points in a number of ways. Your earnings will be visible in your Persona menu, alongside your normal adventure stats. If you're a guild member then a bonus of 10% of any status you earn also gets credited to the guild, which in turn enables the guild to level up and gain access to particular equipment and housing. Note that although your personal status will reduce when you spend it, your contribution to your guild status is not affected.
[edit] Some ways to earn status points
- Performing Rush Orders or Work Orders (both types of crafting Writ Quests), available from NPC's in the tradeskill instances.
- Completing Heritage Quests from various NPC's in the world.
- Completing City Writ Quests, available from the class Guilds (Fighter, Priest, Mage, Scout) in each city.
- Status loot items are dropped by sentient enemies such as gnolls, orcs, undead etc. See status items for more information.
- Defeating certain named NPCs
[edit] Typical items requiring status points to purchase
- Mounts
- Housing and upkeep
- Items from City Merchants (e.g., crafting stations, titles, and rare artwork)
- Items from tradeskill faction merchants (e.g., special recipes)
Note that some of these items also require you be a member of a guild of a minimum level.
