How to get honor quickly?

[BackdireinEis]

I learned that greeting people gives you honor, but obviously that little, that it almost doesn`t count.

Does anyone here know, how many honor points you get by greeting people?

Is there any other method to get quickly many honor points?
I`d like to know other means then missions.

Lots of time as your are riding around you get little white blimps for strangers. Lots of those will increase you honor....depending on how you handle them.

Assuming u r talking bout offline:

The basis: every time your Honor Ranking goes up or down you’ll receive an in-game notification and a note if there’s a significant change. The Honor Ranking is a scale from -8 to +8, with 0 as neutral. Not every rank gives you bonuses, but be aware that if you’re Honor Rank -6 you’ve got a long way to go before you can get back in people’s good books.

Here’s what changes as you move up or down the Honor Rank scale:

Honor 7: 50% price discount in all shops.
Honor 6: unlocks the final set of outfits to buy in stores; the Deuville, the Drifter, the Dewberry Creek, the Farrier, the Faulkton, and the Gambler.
Honor 5: 25% off at all stores in the game.
Honor 3: unlock new outfits: the Bulldogger, the Chevalier, the Corson, the Cumberland, the Cowpuncher, the McLaughlin, the Roscoe, and the Valentine.
Honor 2: discount at shops is 10% off.
Honor 1: When you loot bodies the drop rate is improved so you’ll find more tonics, jewelry and food.
Honor -1: When you loot dead bodies the drop rate is increased for the following items; Dead-Eye tonic, thrown weapons, alcohol and tobacco. There’s also a chance of more money and jewelry from dead lawmen.

How to increase or decrease your Honor Rank

Addition benefits of honorable actions

Helping people in their hour of need can have unforeseen benefits past the increase to your Honor Rank. For instance, if you help someone that’s been bitten by a snake on the side of the road by sucking the venom out, then if you see them again in town they might call you over. If this happens, you can get great rewards like a free item of your choice from the local gunsmith. And yes, that means anything from a box of ammo to a Rolling Block rifle.

It's all here boah: https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/Honor

The quickest way is story missions.
There are also lots of little ways...horse care, throwing back small fish, every three animals skinned you get resourceful which gives honor, helping strangers, (not the missions, the white blips) and letting the leader go free in hideouts. Those are just some of ways I can think of at the moment.
Oh....I forgot you can go see Old Man Jones and pay to have your honor changed for 3 gold bars.

Edit: Forgot to ask if you were asking about single player or online. My tips are for online.

Online:
Feed & brush your horse.

Yes.
Take a look at this: https://rdr2map.com/
Click on HIDE ALL, then scroll down to EVENTS and click on STRANGER and RANDOM EVENT. You will see all random missions. Most of them depends on in-game time.

I use an inlay version of this and oh boah, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing all this game can offer. There's a GTA V version too.
