#### 55,000 favour for one giant in just two RL days!

Well, no, I don't know how to do that. But I've seen a player do it and was wondering, which clever trick am I missing here? Having got 40 emblems first and then continuous playing for 48 hours? At the same time, having a giant house full of literally thousands of molybdenum ingots?
Or am I really missing something here? The limit per game day IS the amount to get from 0 to emblem, right?

- 1) As you get each emblem, the favor limit goes up by 100. There are 6 Glitch days per RL day. SO 12 in 48 hours. So, yes, that is a median (?... not sure of my math terms) of 4583. So yes, it would be an effort to get it that high... not not impossible.
  2) The limit is just from donations. Not from quoins, Icons, quests, etc..
  If one were diligent about clearing emblems, it would be doable.

- You don't have to donate Molybdenum Ingots. Meat + Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder is much more efficient.
  It depends on how many emblems they've already gotten. But like you said, if they already have 40 emblems from that giant, then the favor limit is quite high.

- They were just...rushing past and I couldn't believe my eyes. Not sure what that kind of dedication means! *slightly scared*

- Getting that amount of favor will take approximately ((55 000 * 10) / 3) + (12 * 400) = 188 133 currants [ (55 000 * 10 / 3) for favor with ESHP, (12 * 400) for the ESHP itself ] . It's quite hard (though I won't dismiss as impossible) to gather that much resources in two days. Most player would take a much more laid back approach to resource gathering than that, hmmm...

- It's actually not that difficult to have that much donation fodder. When I was doing the icons, I got to the point where I would donate max to all 11 giants in a single game day because I disliked the xp boost (I have no real desire to level up). I did that for 3 game days in a row, which was about 75-80k favor (side note: theres a great stretch from Ounaas Means into Kalavana where you can pass a shrine to every giant with only 1 duplicate). It was all gathered in a couple of days before hand with a mix of mining and harvesting & nibbling my way through the groddles. I did 0 processing - just dumped loads of gems & music boxes, with meat, sparkly & milk as filler. Most donations took 1 shot of EHSP though, towards the end, some of the shrines with higher limits took 2. It was actually quite an efficient way to go about icon collecting - if you aren't after the xp bonus as well. (well, for those of us who are both obsessive and lazy, heh. selling stuff off and doing it all with meat or whatever would probably be more efficient, but ick. effort.)
  As for time, well... if they had started out 4000 favor limit, they'd add 54,600 at the end of 12 game days (or 2 RL days).

- Not really that hard to gather that much in two days. My go-to is cooking up Tasty Pastas, because it uses no scarce resources, doesn't use more than three of any single resource (three allspice -- unlike Awesome Stew which uses soooo many beans) and has a number of steps which therefore leads to a lot of xp gain.
  Right now, I can cook up 400 per game day before my xp cap hits. That's over 40,000 currants right there, and I can do it in under 90 minutes. Even with expenses (olive oil, veggies if I'm lazy, a portion of that food to eat to keep up my energy, etc.) I'm still netting 25-30k.
  And that's just how I make fat cash. There are any number of other ways to do so.

- Thanks for those hints- I'd been doing awesome stews all the time, and making molybdenum ingots- I may try the other ideas now, too, because I never get that much per game day (okay, my icons eat currants, too).

- If you find the right place to mine, you can make serious coin (and favor) just seeking out sparkly. I did some math the other day and I think I came out to about 35-40k or so (in currant value) in 75min. That's straight sparkly + gems.
  Like Kjel said, there's a number of ways to make good money in this game if you're willing to sit down and work for it. And it's not THAT hard. Just find something that works and that you don't mind doing - cuz if it FEELS too much like work, you probably don't want to keep doing it all the time.
