Yep, to administer the Oath you are charged 10 gold as the Oathgiver. But that also remember is supposed to give you an in-game bond with said character.

Then to get promoted to next tier is 25 gold.

Then to next tier is 50.

To Elite is 100.

To Sect Leader is still 100 I think.

To Emperor is we will never know :P

TMNS, you need to have a chat with your source, it's just mind boggling to me how you had 500 gold in donations and didn't even want to try, even IF it cost 100 like you thought. TRY things out, there are still plenty of things in the game that haven't been revealed through a FAQ. IE, people might know about some of the assassin edges now, but it took someone picking them and saying it.


Wood-elf warrior edges, same thing.

Black circle, same thing.

Etc, etc.
