is it possible to get the icons without donating?

Out of curiosity, is it possible to get 11 emblems just by playing the game (doing quests, getting achievements)? So far, I'm level 22 and I have 6 Lem emblems and less from the other giants, I don't want to rush, but I don't want to wait forever either.

  • Yes but it would take a long time with the small bits of favours from quests and badges.

  • Or you could just buy them (that or 11 emblems for each Giant and make them yourself)

  • Yes you can but I agree that it would take a long time.  After the last Reset I did not donate anything to any shrine until lev. 15 but by then I had earned 3 or 4 Emblems without a single donation.

  • I have all the Icons and many more emblems and donated very little.   Most of my progress came from hanging out in areas of Ur that have big all-giant favor quoins,

  • Lem is probably the easiest Giant to get emblems for without donating, since he hands over a nice chunk of favor with every region you explore, but you could probably get there eventually with all of them. Having a high quoin multiplier (so you get the most out of favor quoins) would help a lot, too.

    ...That said, there are also achievements for shrine donation! So it's probably worthwhile to donate at least sometimes if you're collecting badges.

  • Yeah, a high quoin multiplier + lots of favor quoins in the ALs = effortless emblem collection :)

  • I don't donate anything and yet I've managed to collect all icons. I'm even on my second set. I do interact a lot with Ur and I earn favor points from badges and achievements.

  • Why wouldn't you want to donate? Don't you love the giants?

  • Making a crystal gets you 5 favor with one giant (and sometimes all 11). It'd take forever this way, but every little bit counts. :)

  • I want to see someone earn a complete set of icons entirely by mourning dead glitches.  :)

  • That's quite an undertaking, Pale Queen. :)

  • You can also just buy the icons.

    Also, if you donate you get img on top of more favor points.  Using extremely hallowed shrine powder triples what you normally get with any donation.

  • With a high quoin multiplier (x100) and keepable upgrade mini-games, you can get enough favor with certain giants to get emblems relatively quickly, and icons slightly more slowly. At 100x quoin multiplier, the favor quoins in the mini-games offer 100-300 favor for their specific giant, per mini-game. A list of the giants associated with each game is here: www.glitch.com/forum/genera...

    If you're going this route, Abysmal Thrill is your friend; it offers favor with ALL giants!
