Donation and Favour with the Giants

I am sorry if this should not go here, but I am curious if anyone has a guide, or has been working on a guide for the Giants, and their donation bowls/coffers. I am curious because I noticed that depending on the item given to a particular Giant both changes the amount of favor received as well as the level of the item donated.

Case in point, I donated some cherries to one of the coffers, can not recall exactly, and it actually sighed at me. I received 3 xp for that donation and no favor. However, when I took a jar of 7 fireflies, and donated it to Ti (shortly after the Whistle quest/achievement) I received nearly 50 or so favor and xp. I assume because Ti is associated with fireflies and such, since Ti's name was all over the ancient yet futuristic lab where the whistle was held.

Anyone else notice this? Anyone else have any other good combinations for donation?

  • Fireflies are worth a lot more than a few cherries.

    Generally, the favor you get is 10% of the value you pay for an item from a vendor -  a  Fancy Pick costs 1000 and will give you 100 favor.  Certain items might grant you more favor with certain giants, but we're a little fuzzy on details there,  I think

    There's a group here that has some more info

  • I'm pretty sure the 10% of value rule holds for all items with all giants. I think certain items to certain giants are more likely to give you bonuses (aka super donations) though. For instance, I've gotten most of my bonus XP from Humbaba when I've donated meat.

  • I think many of us initially thought that the shrine donations would be pleasingly complex, but, while there have been rumours of more interesting dynamics (and some nice suggestions in the Ideas forum), I've never seen it deviate from the rather dull 10%-of-an-items-value rule mentioned above. Apart from when you get bonus XP from donations, of course, but unless they've changed it recently, that's just random.

  • Thank you for the links, they are all appreciated. I am thinking of joining the Giant Donation Group. It seems exactly what I was looking for. Again, thank you for your help everyone.
