Just wondering - I don't have any actual data. But on my first go-round I was getting blocked on all the skill trees by needing those first emblems and having to make tons of donations to get them before I could go on learning. If I remember correctly most of the giants were at the 2-400 favor level when I hit the emblem needed block. This time I haven't yet progressed in any skills to where I need emblems to continue, but all my favor levels are in the 4-800 range. So it's looking like in most cases I'll be near or at the emblem level by the time I need it for the skill. So am I just playing a little differently somehow, or has TS tweaked the favor levels for the early quests, achievements and levels?
