Shrine Donations and Emblem Spending

Donated to and Spent 1500/1700 Favor at a Tii Shrine before the New Day.

New Day comes and I donate again. Instead of getting 1500 favor I get an emblem. Sad Face. I donated close to the end of day but donated and spent before the new day happened. Shouldn't happen.

Insult to Injury: For my 1500 favor I could have sped up my learning of Metalworking by about 4 hours. Now I don't have that option and can spend my Emblem of Tii. Since the Emblem is worth 1700 Favor I should get more than what I would have gotten for spending 1500 favor, but instead I am offered 2 hours and 46 minutes reduction.

It seems like this is either bugged or the math is wrong. If not a bug/bad math, what is the rationale behind having an emblem worth 1700 Favor count as less than 1500 favor accrued at a shrine?

  • I believe emblems, when spent to speed up learning, always count as 1000 favor regardless of how many favor it took to earn them.

  • The "spend" verb on emblems has always given exactly 1000 favor, no matter what donations you made to get it.  

    Let me see if I have the sequence correct:
    Donated enough stuff to earn 1500 favor.
    Spent that favor.

    New Day
    Check favor, it was 0
    Donated enough stuff to earn emblem (1700) favor.

    That's how it should work.  What were you expecting?  Do you remember what you donated each time?

  • Windborn here is the sequence:

    Donated 5 Fancy Picks with EHSP: 1500 favor. Spent.

    New Day: Donated 5 Fancy Picks with EHSP: Emblem.

  • did you check the favor before you donated on new day?

    Also, did you leave the shrine, or use any tools while you were waiting for new day?

  • Also you might be maxed at how much you can spend toward time reduction so if there was still favor left over when it hit the max it wouldn't disappear and that extra counted toward the emblem.
