Once you have the Icons...

... is there any point donating to the shrines?

I only donated as much as I needed to get the emblems for all my Icons.  Now that I have the whole set (yay me!!! ^_^) I find no use in donating to shrines except when I want an XP boost.  I don't fight in Rook attacks though I've heard you donate to shrines during them.

If you have the whole set of Icons - do you still donate?  Why?  Am I missing something..?

  • Instead of getting emblems, now I use my Giant Favor to speed up learning. Of course, I have a big pile of accidental emblems, but I do my best to spend it.  I'm almost done learning all the skills, though, so I'm not sure what I will do after that.

  • Do you have all your skills? Because when I was learning skills I donated to the primary and secondary giants and spent the favor to speed things up. Otherwise it would just be for the xp if you want to level faster.

  • I have the whole set of Icons (plus one extra due to the quest) and nearly all the skills (Unlearning is being learne just for giggles) and the only reason I'd need to continue to donate is to get my Shriner Fourty Niner badge, which is the last donation badge i need to get. Other than that, I've been getting emblems for getting badges and such, and those I've been giving away (in the case of one), trading (in the case of two, and I traded for a bunch of resources), or selling (which I really ought to do). Otherwise, donation for for XP and that badge would be the only reason to donate.

    Unless suddenly there's a change in the furture wherein we'll need extra emblems for something...

  • What about the leaderboards? :O

  • I'm literally on the last skill I can learn (other than unlearning, which meh), so I'll be focusing my donation on the remaining icons I need...and I assume that by the time I've collected all the icons, at least a few new skills will come out to learn. 

    I'm really curious to see how the switch to imagination will affect the shrine process. It might look completely different!

  • Mood, XP, learning, the 151 Emblems badge, and the Iconify quest for those of us who got all the icons before it came out.  That's it.  Oh, and the Favor leaderboards, or just to suck up, I guess.
    (And now I'm impressed that Ayasta got all her icons before getting Shriner Forty-Niner, unless she bought them.)

  • Personally, I drop them in remote locations or give them to players just starting out in the game.  Altruism gives you a warm glow.  (No, seriously, psychologists have studied it and everything.)

  • Ooohh yeaaahhh forgot about donating to speed up learning XD  guess I *was* missing something... <files this under Still Human, Damn>

    >_>

    As far as giving to lower level players (the emblems) that's a nice thing to do, but I prefer selling for very cheap as opposed to just giving them away.  Because, you know, I'm rather greedy like that.  >_>

  • I have all the skills I want, 12 icons, am level 60, yet donate to shrines anyway. For fun and because of devotion, I suppose.

  • Wait, 12 Icons?  I thought there were only 11!  ~O.O~  Who's the 12th??  Do we have a Rook Icon I did not know about???

  • I have 12 because the quest came after I had all 11, so I keep one Humbaba in my bag and one in my house.

  • I am trying to get to level 60. Donating is the best way I know to do that. I have 2 sets of icons, and 55 emblems

  • I donated tons to get skills learned faster and saved up emblems for them. My thing was this: donate to the primary giant and spend that favor, then go donate to the Giant of the next skill I'm going to learn for emblem. I only bought a couple emblems because I traded them, but I still had all the same favor on all the Giants (2200) which didn't make me get them faster. Even if I hadn't traded my emblems, i still would've gotten my Icons just the same. I started working on getting emblems faster just shortly after Icons were announced.

  • At the moment, I donate for XP points and to speed up skill-learning. As the games changes, I'm sure I'll find other reasons to donate.
