Well Connected
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
Well Connected costs two starting points and adds 15 starting reputation with every faction. It advances faction relationships, but it does not directly supply equipment, starter kits or shop cash.
Compare the next threshold
Faction benefits activate at specific standing thresholds. A head start can shorten the distance to an unlock without granting it immediately. Check the actual faction status before expecting a new customer or service to be available.
| Point cost | +2 |
|---|---|
| Starting reputation | +15 with all factions |
Do not confuse reputation with referral
Joe Wild’s profession referrals are purchases with their own starter kits and visiting suppliers. Well Connected is a standing modifier, not those paid unlocks. Preserve enough opening capital for the specialty you choose even if the faction meters look healthier.
