Reputation ranks
Ranks only ever go up; points can drop but your rank stays.
About reputation ranksGreat mod, it definitely adds a use to Chainmail. It's better when paired with a mod that allows you to craft chainmail like Chained so that you actually have a higher likelihood of using the slots.
My ONE issue with this mod is that you can't hide the under armour from showing up like you can for most of the stuff that goes into curios slots (like Relics, Artifacts, etc.), so if you're using something like Cosmetic Armor Reworked, it looks really strange.
