Shogunate Claim Requirements
To claim the Shogunate, you must accumulate: (1) 1,000,000+ Ryō in liquid wealth, (2) Tier 5 reputation with at least 3 factions, (3) Master rank in at least 2 professions, and (4) Win the contested influence battle against rival claimants during a server-wide event window.
- 1,000,000+ Ryō (roughly 200 hours of S-tier profession work)
- Tier 5 reputation with Farmer, Trader, and Warrior factions
- Master rank in 2 professions (typically Merchant + Blacksmith)
- Win influence contest (server-wide event, 24-hour window)
Influence Contest Strategy
The influence contest is a 24-hour server-wide event where top-ranked players compete for the most influence points. Influence points come from: completing high-tier quests, donating Ryō to faction treasuries, defeating rival players in sanctioned duels, and holding strategic territory (estates, shrines, trade posts).
Don't try to win the contest solo. Form a faction alliance with 3-4 other high-ranked players. Shared influence and contested duels give you 2-3x the points of solo play.
