Edit: Favor Quoins How do they work? (or "a discussion for n00bs as led by a very unobservant not-so-n00b")

Forgive me if this is old news, but I just noticed a change in Favor Quoin behavior, and was wondering if it was new.  Previously (as in, a few weeks ago at least), Favor Quoins gave you favor for all the Giants.  So, find a 30 favor quoin, all 11 giants get 30 favor. 

Now, I'm getting notices when I get a favor quoin that say things like:  "Gained 30 favor with Cosma".  Which is cool, I suppose.  Cosma's great!  But what about Pot?  What about Spriggin?

So, my questions are these: 

1.  Am I just really unobservant, and this has been around for a while?
2.  How is the giant for which I gain favor from a quoin chosen?  At random (like crystal making)?  Or based on something else?
3.  What do you all think of this change (and, unless I am woefully uninformed, it IS a change)?

So yeah, discuss amongst yourselves.  Any help for this quite befuddled Glitch would be most appreciated.

  • 1. Favor quoins have always had the kind that only awards to one giant. It was just not easy to notice without the Local Chat text. There are also the kind that give to all giants (perhaps a bit more common than the single-giant type).
    2. The giant is set for that quoin in a location. It'll always be the same giant for that particular quoin.
    3. Not a change, just more noticeable now :)

  • Huh... I could have sworn that there were universal quoins that gave favor for every giant.  Maybe I just misunderstood the text previously when it used to just say "You gained 30 favor".

  • I've noticed in the Ancestral Lands that some quoins there DO say +30 favor with ALL the giants :) So I think that does happen.

  • Ahhhhh, maybe that's it.  I usually encounter them in the Ancestral Lands. :)  It's all coming together now....

  • I don't recall any of the favor quoins in AL saying "ALL the giants" before; maybe this is an unadvertised change that came out with the new "keepable" cards earlier this week?

  • The message is new; the quoins haven't changed.
