It's official...

Renown can't exceed your core rank at least at low levels. Some people were debating the other day whether renown could go above level and i discovered last night that my renown was hard capped on the cusp between 16th and 17th level. As soon as i eventually raised my core rank to 17 renown followed in one kill.

This can't be the case all the way through the game because we know rank 80 renown is possible but there it is for lower levels anyway. I am guessing we'll need core rank 40 to allow renown to go above that.

Did people not know this? I hit the renown cap every level because i spend most of my time in scenarios or raiding. My renown is still capped at lvl23, as you said will be lvl40 before it releases, wouldn't make much sense having rr80 lvl12s running around would it :rolleye11

Yeah - it wasn't totally clear and a number of people (including me) were wondering so i thought i'd post this. I reckon you'd struggle to still be level 12 if you'd attained RR80 but that sure would be interesting ;P

Oh its possible, all you need is to leach, fair few ways to do that.

well its possible in open RvR you get really crappy xp, but really nice RR points
