View source for Imperial Standing

<div class="toau">
The Near East's version of [[Conquest Points]] and [[Allied Notes]], also known as "credits." You can view how many Imperial Standing points you currently have by using the in-game menu category "Regional Info" under the topic "Besieged," or simply typing the '''/bmap''' command.

Standing credits are earned like [[Conquest Points]] as a fraction of [[Experience Points]] earned in battle while the player has the [[Sanction]] effect on. The common ratio is one IS per 10 exp. This ratio goes up under certain conditions, such as defeating mobs in areas with the [[Astral Candescence]] (when not under [[Al Zahbi]] control). Standing credits can only be earned in Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion areas.  They are also given as a reward for successfully participating in [[Besieged]] and from some quests.

Standing credits can be exchanged for various equipment and maps at the [[Imperial Gate Guard]]s who grant [[Sanction]], as long as you have a high enough [[Mercenary Rank]]. They can also be exchanged for Near East Imperial coins with [[Ugrihd]].  Credits can be used to purchase [[:Category:Key Items|key items]] from [[Shajaf]] for entering [[ISNM]] battlefields.  Finally, for 200 [[Imperial Standing]], you may purchase a [[Runic Portal Use Permit]] from [[Sharin-Garin]] to use the [[Chamber of Passage]] to travel to a Staging Point [[Runic Portal]] for which you do not have an Assault Order.
