If you're new, or maybe even if you're a veteran, you might not realize just how useful karma is. You can use karma to not only buy high-level gear but also trade it for other currencies or unlock the very best crafting recipes. You also need a huge amount to craft legendary weapons (which are considered a long-term late-game goal by most of the player base).
Just like in the real world, you can build up Karma by doing good deeds. Completing Renown Hearts in the open world will always reward you with more Karma. One method is to simply just level up your alt characters and explore the world, completing Renown Hearts as you go, you can build up a massive store over the long term just by doing this.
For those who don't know, a Renown Heart is a heart-shaped icon you can see on the world map. The tasks to complete these are usually straightforward, such as helping NPCs with tasks or dealing with local threats (like those pesky Dredge). Hearts can reward you between 90 - 675 karma a pop, which might not seem like a lot but after taking a few characters through some maps, it adds up.
