	Explorer - Earned by visiting the Atlantis citadels, visiting the Cursed Isles, visiting the Haunted Seas ship graveyards, visiting the Kraken, completing expeditions, purchasing charts at the Explorers' hall, and traveling around the ocean.
	Patron - Earned by hosting tournaments and event blockades, as well as participating in tournaments and puzzle competitions.

It has the same nine levels as fame which are:

Aspiring
Obscure
Rumored
Noted
Established
Renowned
Celebrated
Eminent
Illustrious

Please note that reputation diminishes over time and must be kept up by continually performing related actions.

Reputation is calculated on a curve in a similar manner as puzzle standing and fame, that is, the reputation of any given pirate, crew or flag is scored relative to the performance of others on the ocean, and each higher level is a smaller percentile than the last. However, one difference is that there are minimums for each level of reputation. For example, a pirate will never be rewarded with Illustrious Conqueror just by defeating two sets of skellies in a week. [1]

Pirates with the celebrated-level trophy in the relevant category may place the conqueror's sword rack, explorer's shelf, patron's card table and magnate's treasure chest furniture items, while pirates with any illustrious-level trophy may wear the notorious corsair's hat and notorious corsair's coat clothing items. Note that any pirate may purchase these items - the trophy is necessary only for placement or wearing - and it's necessary only to have the trophy itself - the pirate's actual reputation at the time is irrelevant.
