An example of Renown Awards
Renown (名声ボーナス Meisei bōnasu, Fame Bonus in the Japanese version) is a game mechanic that was first introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening. It is a system of points earned through various gameplay features that can be spent on in-game items and mechanics.
Overview[]
Beginning with Fire Emblem Awakening and continuing with the games that followed through Three Houses, Renown points can be earned for completing or accomplishing certain in-game tasks, the nature of which vary from game to game. Any Renown earned can then be spent on features such as in-game items or gameplay boosters. In most games that feature Renown, the total carries over into new games started while clear data is present (taking the highest value if more than one clear data file is detected), or in the case of Three Houses, starting a New Game+.
Earning Renown[]
Awakening[]
- Clear a Chapter, Skirmish, or Paralogue: 10 points
- Defeat (or hire) a SpotPass or StreetPass team: 50 points

Shadows of Valentia[]
In Shadows of Valentia, Renown is for the most part used as a scoring mechanic to compare with other players. Renown can be earned in five ways:
- Recruiting characters.
- Defeating bosses.
- Defeating generic enemies.
- Clearing subquests.
- Obtaining Rewards.
For all forms of Renown gain other than obtaining rewards, if the player is playing on Hard difficulty, each amount of Renown gained is multiplied by ×1.25, and, if the player is playing on Classic mode, by ×1.1. These bonuses can stack, such that a player playing on Hard Classic mode will receive a multiplier of ×1.375.
Unlike in previous games, Renown does not carry over between save files, with the exception of Renown earned from rewards, as the rewards themselves are shared between save files.
Three Houses[]
In Three Houses, renown is mainly earned through two different ways:
- Clear a non-chapter battle: 100 points.
- Clear a quest: Varies (200, 300, or 500 points).
Upon loading a New Game+ file, an amount of renown is awarded for clearing the previous playthrough (added to whatever's left over), starting with 10,000 renown and increasing by 10,000 per playthrough cleared, up to a maximum of 50,000. The previous playthrough's difficulty also affects how much renown is given, with the higher difficulties awarding more renown than easier ones.
Cindered Shadows[]
After clearing the Cindered Shadows storyline, the player can get a reward of 10,000 Renown.
After the player gains access to Abyss, they can use the Pagan Altar to trade Storehouse Items in exchange for Renown. The amount of Renown gained depends on the item, ranging from 1 to 30 Renown per item. They may also spend Renown in exchange for various items, though there is an overflow glitch when spending more than 65,535 Renown (ie, if a player spends 65,636 Renown at once, they'll receive the agreed items yet only spend 1 Renown in practice).
Three Hopes[]
In Three Hopes, Renown is gained two ways, by spending Activity Points with the Chore Master - the amount varying on the rating (2 for Perfect or Great, one for Nice) - or clearing story missions, which is worth 10 Renown each, plus 2 Renown for every side quest on the War Map that was not completed.
Renown Use[]
Awakening[]
In Awakening, Renown can be used to aquire each item on the below table once per game file. The Renown is not spent as a currency; rather, the player simply must earn the total required to unlock the item.

Three Houses[]
In Three Houses, Renown is almost exclusively used in a New Game+ file, though there are options to spend it on a new file playthrough.
On all playthroughs, Renown can be spent to restore statues of the Four Saints, which unlocks various growth bonuses. These bonuses include weapon skill experience gains while tutoring, regular experience point growth, battalion experience, and class experience gain. Additional Divine Pulse charges can also be unlocked. Statue restoration progress carries over into a New Game+ between playthroughs, and 10,000 Renown is needed to completely renovate a single Saint Statue.
In a New Game+, Renown may be spent on Byleth's Journal for various purposes:
- Restore Support levels between Byleth and other characters up to their highest level in previous playthroughs (400 points per level per character).
- Restore weapon skills, class certifications and masteries, up to the highest level achieved in previous playthroughs (500 per level per skill/class).
- Restore Byleth's Professor Level up to the highest level achieved in previous playthroughs (500 per level).
- Purchase Dragon Signs. A character in possession of a Dragon Sign gains the power of an associated Crest (1,000 per Dragon Sign).
- The availability of Dragon Signs is dependent on which route was completed during the previous playthrough of the game, which will result in select Dragon Signs already being present in the player's inventory on starting a New Game+.
Cindered Shadows[]
After the player gains access to Abyss, they can spend Renown with the Influencer. By spending Renown to Inspire Worship, they will unlock the ability to spend Renown for weapons and items at the Pagan Altar. Additional services include: Encourage Recycling, which allows a small, random selection of degraded or rusted weapons to be found in the Scrap Heap every month; Reduce Inn Prices, unlocking the Mysterious Teacher to check your characters' stats; Summon the Wayseer, an NPC who can use spent Renown to strengthen bonds between allies (and also ensure certain characters end up with each other); and Organize the Shadow Library, which allows access to numerous banned books that detail new truths about Fodlan.
Warriors: Three Hopes[]
On a standard playthrough, Renown can be spent to buy one of every stat-boosting item per save file. After beating the game and booting up the beaten save data or by starting a New Game+ file, more options are available, such as Heroes' Relics or unique units. Dragon Signs are available depending on the last route clear, with some being available on one's first route clear.
All Renown units cost 60 Renown each to unlock. Each starts at Level 50, have C-rank support limits for all other units, and are only playable in auxiliary battles, with the exception of Arval's unique Paralogue. Upon unlocking, each Renown unit has already mastered all Beginner-tiered classes, as well as the Intermediate and Advanced classes that are part of their preferred class lines (Mercenary and Swordmaster for Rhea, and Mage and Warlock for Sothis and Arval).
Of the three, Arval is unique as their available classes are determined by the gender of Shez in the current save file.
