One particular resource that you earn in Fire Emblem: Three Houses which is separate from your Professor Level is Renown. Unfortunately, the game isn’t very clear on what you actually have to do with your Renown. Sure, you acquire more from successfully kicking butt on the battlefield, turning in quests, and generally being as helpful as you can be as the chosen one. Our Fire Emblem Three Houses Renown guide will tell you what to spend your Renown on and what it can do for you.
Fire Emblem Three Houses Renown Guide — How to Restore Saint Statues
The primary use of your Renown in Fire Emblem Three Houses is going to be the restoration of statues of the various Saints of Seiros inside the cathedral. There are four Saint Statues in the monastery’s cathedral, and restoring them will give you a plethora of various bonuses that stack and persist in-game. In order to have access to this restoration (which doesn’t cost any Activity Points), you first have to complete the quest called Tending to the Saints — Flayn will give you this. Completion of that quest will unlock the ability for you to interact productively with the Saint Statue Artisan.
Chatting with the Saint Statue Artisan is good for one thing and one thing only. It’ll allow you to undertake restoration works of the four different Saint Statues in the monastery — Saint Cethleann, Saint Cichol, Saint Indech, and Saint Macuil. The only way to restore these statues is to spend your Renown points on them. You’re going to need 10,000 Renown points to fully restore one Statue to its former glory. However, you’re not locked into just fixing one up at a time; you can mix and match your approach to the Saint Statues to unlock perks that you think are the most suited for your current circumstances. Check out our list of each tier of restoration for each statue and what it’ll be worth to you.
