Earn renown in Final Fantasy 16 and unlock Patron Items with our Careful Whisper trophy guide. About 15-20 hours into the story, you’ll finally unlock this important new feature — Renown! By completing side-quests and defeating Notorious Marks, you’ll earn a special currency that increases your fame across the realm. The higher your renown, the more free items you’ll get from the Patron’s Whisper vendor in the Hideaway. Some of these items are pretty great, including some songs you can only unlock through Renown. Learn how to earn Renown and what all the rewards are with the full guide below.

What Is Renown?
Renown is a special currency that can only be used at the Hideaway. After completing Main Quest #31: Release, return to the Hideaway to unlock two important new facilities — the Hunt Board and the Renown Vendor.
The Renown NPC will give you rewards in exchange for Renown. Renown is earned after the time-skip for completing certain types of activities.
- Earn Renown Through These Activities:
- Completing Side-Quests
- Defeating Notorious Marks
For each side-quest you complete and Notorious Mark you destroy, you’ll earn Renown. Side-quests can be missed so you’ll want to complete them ASAP. Check your map to see all the currently available quests. Notorious Marks will also appear as you progress but are always available to hunt — they spawn in the open-world environment.
Unlock all 16 Patron Items (rewards for turning in Renown) to earn the Careful Whisper trophy.
All Patron Items | Careful Whisper Trophy
Spend Renown you earn through side-quests and Notorious Marks at the Patron’s Whisper vendor facility in The Hideaway. You can find side-quests through the Allant Report nearby and find Notorious Marks from the Hunt Board.
