Scammed by the gods... again!

So there I was, minding my own business and trying to complete my Iconize quest (which popped up just AFTER I had created my firs icon... grr...), donating immense quantities of meat to my god of choice.

And - once again - I badly overshot the quantity of donations needed to get the current emblem. Result: one emblem got, but hundreds and hundreds of favors vanished as the counter just reset without taking note of the surplus favors.

Isn't there really any way to correct that "feature" (more "bug" to me) in order not to waste so much donations?

  • Are you keeping the donation meter open as you drag items into the shrine? It's not a fix, but it helps to see how close you get. Donate in smaller quantities until the bar gets close to the end, then top it off with meat (1 meat = 1 favor point, makes the math super simple).

    Hope this helps!

  • I keep 'checking favour' after each donation.

    I'd totally disagree with that! I would never donate without shrine powder and then you need to donate as large an amount as you can in one go.

    But the first two posts  I agree with. Either do the maths yourself or use Agent86's FavorSaver

  • What i do is name my donations bags like this "Diamonds 200 Favour" etc... Remember to multiply by 3 if using ESHP. Then i let my calculator do the math as I'm rubbish at maths! lol
    Hope this helps u :)

  • Favor Saver FTW.

    Though I do the maths myself on some things, like seasoned beans, since I know they're 45 a pop with EHSP. Just take the total you need, divide by 45 and there you go.

    In the case of meats with EHSP.. divide by 3.

  • Yup, meats are 3 and sparkly is 2.4 - those I have memorized.  Everything else I look up.

  • I didn't factor in shrine powders, true. I rarely use them, because they're either too expensive or too time consuming to make. But I'm more of a casual donator. I'm not in a hurry to get icons.

  • It's simple: Get one emblem per day. If you start the day at 0 favor, you can only donate enough to get the next emblem. You'll automatically get warned if you're donating too much.

  • You won't always start each day at 0 favor, due to quests, leveling up, mourning/celebrating, etc. But that's still a good way to keep track, for the most part.

  • Pippette, I like your bag-naming system! I'm going to use it.

  • I am probably the only Glitch to approach 60 without using favor saver aren't I? I kind of roll up to the shrine with some idea of what i will get with ehsp and what is in the bags, go for broke with a big donation, and back the item quanity down from there in small increments until I get a donation in. Now that I'm not spending favor points to learn skills I've been playing it pretty loose and reckless at the shrines!

  • I try and donate the max that I can each day.  Whenever I am about to donate more than I need to get the emblem, a box pops up asking me if I am sure, since I won't get the full XP credit for it.  I also get another pop up when I am going to donate over the maximum daily value.

  • Not so Jillybean :) I always just do the math myself real quick :P Use meat of course, to keep the calculations simple :P

  • Math math math Math.. The Giants are very generous.. and also very wise.  Do the homework and don't waste what you've accumulated.. If leveling up is what you want to do, this will help you get there.
