Letter of Favor

Initial version
A favor in writing: the pirate's version of a royal pardon.
Letter of Favor is a Rare reputation item in Windrose, turned in at any Tortuga archipelago faction for a reputation reward. The letter's primary text reads "Whom it may concern: the bearer of this letter has earned their standing through deed and loyalty. Treat them as a captain of proven worth, one who can be trusted with coin, cargo, and sensitive work," which positions the item one rung above the standard Faction Insignia chain but below the legendary Old Salt Insignia cap.

Letter of Favor is not bought or sold by any vendor. The only use path is reputation hand-in at a faction's Bounty Agent to raise Faction Reputation.
Letter of Favor is not currently exposed in any known loot source in the item database. The letter's phrasing ("earned their standing through deed and loyalty") strongly implies that the item is a scripted quest or rank-reward drop rather than a random loot-table roll. In practice, players encounter Letters of Favor during mid-game faction questlines and as occasional rewards for completing Bounty Agent contracts.
Because Letters of Favor are infrequent drops, most players hand them in at the faction whose rank is closest to the next threshold. A Letter of Favor handed in at the wrong faction still raises that faction's reputation, but the relative value per item is highest when matched with an impending rank-up.
The stack cap is 200, so there is no realistic ceiling concern. Stockpile Letters of Favor across multiple factions and burn them in deliberate turn-in sprees rather than mixing them with standard insignia hand-ins.
Do not confuse Letter of Favor with the insignia chain. Letters are scripted rewards; insignias are mob and chest drops. Both go to the Bounty Agent, but only insignias have a predictable farm.
Letter of Favor is faction-agnostic. A letter earned from one faction's questline can be handed in at another faction for an identical reputation bump.
Pair Letter of Favor turn-ins with Veteran Insignia hand-ins during rank-threshold pushes. The combined reputation from both items routinely crosses a rank in a single visit.
