In addition to gaining status by completing writs assigned by city NPCs, it is also possible to gain status by turning in "status items" dropped by creatures you defeat in combat. Each city faction is interested in a certain type of item: fighters are interested in relics, mages in scrying stones, priests in amulets, and scouts in sealed documents.

The quality of items found will vary depending upon the level range (tier) of the zones in which they were dropped, with higher-quality items of course being worth more status. Regardless of where the items are found, though, they may be turned in for status to any writ-giver of the appropriate city faction.

Unlike completing writs, turning in status items does *not* affect your actual faction standing with the city factions.
