Alright, partner, pull up a chair by the fire. Let me spin you a yarn. So there I was, fresh off the ranch, and the word on the dusty trail was simple: to truly leave your mark on this unforgiving West, you gotta get famous. Not TikTok famous—this is 1911, for cryin' out loud—but the kind of fame that gets your name whispered in saloons and scribbled on wanted posters. My goal? To reach the absolute pinnacle, that mythical "Legend" status and snag that shiny "Man of Honor" achievement. But let me tell ya, the path to becoming a legend ain't always straightforward, and I learned a few... creative tricks along the way.

First things first, let's bust a myth that had me wandering around like a clueless greenhorn for weeks. That cool-looking bandana? Ditch it. I felt like a proper outlaw, all mysterious and intimidating, until I realized I was gaining zero fame for my deeds. Turns out, you can't build a reputation if nobody can see your face! It's like trying to get famous while wearing a paper bag over your head. So, rule number one: let the world see that handsome (or at least memorable) mug of yours.

Now, onto the good stuff—the activities that'll have folks talking. The game throws the obvious ones at you:

• Main Missions & Strangers: Gotta do 'em. They're the bread and butter of your fame diet.

• Winning Duels & Games: Show off those quick-draw skills and poker face.

But if you wanna speed-run your way to legendary status, you gotta think outside the box. Here's my personal playbook, earned through trial and a lot of error.

The Art of the Duel (The Polite Way)

Duels are a goldmine, but there's a right way and a wrong way. Killing your opponent? Amateur hour. That only nets you a measly 50 Fame. A true legend shows mercy and skill. Disarming your foe, however, is where it's at. That's a cool 100 Fame right in your pocket, and you get to walk away feeling all noble. It's a win-win! My favorite method? Slap on the fancy Elegant Suit, sit down for a friendly game of poker, and then... try to cheat. Just a little! It almost always triggers a duel. Then, bam, you disarm the sore loser and soak up the fame. Rinse and repeat. It's my go-to fame farming strategy.

To Kill or Not to Kill?

The game sometimes gives you a choice: finish 'em or let 'em live. I used to be trigger-happy, but I learned that sparing a life when given the option doubles the Fame reward. Suddenly, playing the merciful gunslinger felt even better. My honor might have taken a hit from all that poker-cheating, but my fame was soaring!

The Shadier Shortcuts (Use at Your Own Risk)

Look, I'm not proud of all my methods, but a cowboy's gotta do what a cowboy's gotta do. If you're in a real pinch and don't mind your Honor taking a nosedive, you can... ahem... relieve civilians and working girls of their belongings. Each successful "transaction" nets you 50 Fame. It's fast, it's dirty, and your conscience will hate you. I don't recommend making a habit of it unless you're aiming for the "Most Notorious Scoundrel" title instead.

The Golden Ticket

For those of you who, like me, splurged on the Golden Guns pack, here's a sweet bonus: using those gilded beauties to take down enemies gives you a fame boost higher than normal. So not only do you look incredibly flashy, but you also get famous faster. It's the ultimate flex.

The moment of truth – disarming feels way more legendary than killing.

After all my scheming, brawling, and occasional acts of mercy, I finally climbed that fame ladder. Let me break down what all those fancy titles actually mean:

Fame Rank	What It Means	My Experience Earning It
Unknown	Who are you again?	Starting point. Felt lonely.
Insignificant	A face in the crowd.	Did a few chores. Still lonely.
Notable	People start to recognize you.	Helped a stranger! Progress!
Remarkable	Your name carries some weight.	Won my first few fair duels.
Prominent	A force to be reckoned with.	Folks in town would nod. Felt good.
Famous	You're a known entity across states.	This is where the poker-cheating-duel loop paid off BIG time.
Celebrated	Songs are probably being written.	Started getting fancy offers. Maybe a song or two?
Heroic/Legend	You are THE talk of the West. Achievement unlocked!	Finally! The saloon piano player definitely wrote a song about me.

Reaching "Legend" was a wild ride. It wasn't just about being good or bad; it was about being memorable. Whether through skilled mercy in a duel, completing epic tales, or just being the fanciest, most golden-gun-toting cowpoke in the territory, the key is consistent action. So get out there, ditch the bandana, and start building your legacy. Just maybe go easy on robbing the townsfolk... unless you're really, really desperate for those last 50 points. Happy trails, future legend!
