spend emblems to advance learning

At this stage in the game (level 25) I am mostly donating to shrines for the XP.  I don't check my favor too carefully, so I keep ending up with duplicate emblems.  It would be nice if I could somehow spend them for 1000 favor worth of skill learning.  Right now they aren't useful for anything.

  • Wow, that's a fantastic idea, yes! I like caressing my emblems (that sounds so, so dirty) for experience and energy once a day, but I'd love to spend a couple towards skill learning!

  • You know that you can donate to a shrine and before it hits 1000, you can spend the favor on skill learning already? Then you don't even get the extra emblems because the level never gets to 1000 to earn an emblem.

    But I do see your point, if you already have the emblems, it probably would be nice to turn them in, or spend them on something like skill learning like is done with the first ones.

  • It's not easy to gauge how close you are to an emblem right now.  It would be great if when you hit 1000 you were offered the choice of an emblem or cashing in for skill.

  • @Beach Bum: I know I can spend before it hits 1000.  I'm just lazy and don't want to worry about it.  It's also not always obvious - I might be dumping several gemstones all at once that give me more favor than I expect.

    @Meezles: I really like the idea of being given an option at that point!

  • @Meezles:  That's exactly what I've been wishing for.  After a while, and after you've spent the first emblem for each Giant, you can easily have a whole bag full of emblems, and I'd love a choice (when I've accrued 1000 favor with a particular Giant) to either get another emblem OR cash in the 1000 favor towards accelerated learning.  I'd also love to be able to donate an emblem I already have, perhaps only to a shrine of the Giant of that emblem, to receive 1000 favor (or perhaps a bit less, due to depreciation or something) for skill learning, too.

  • what happens if you donate the emblem back? or even better to a different God

  • +1 this would especially be helpful for the "under the wire" quest. Which I've overshot once already. Will have to be more careful next time.

  • Spending emblems for learning speed would really fix a major problem in the UI where you can overshoot while donating. Maybe make it so the first emblem spent lets you learn the skill associated with the giant and subsequent emblems give the 1000 favor worth of speed boost.

  • maybe for each set you accrue you get a toaster?
