Favor - nngh! Good Giants Y'all - What is it Good For?

I understand how to get emblems and their usefulness to open up new skills - the first time. After that I'm not clear about why I should continue to increase favor by donating to the Giants.

  • Aboutely nothin'!

    Anyway, aside from the 1511 quest, there doesn't seem to be much reason to collect emblems aside from just increasing favor capacity or just for the mood, energy and xp boosts.

    Been discussed many times, but yeah, there should probably be some additional alternative uses for them.

  • I'm not asking about the usefulness of emblems, as much as the usefulness of favor.

    Using it up on faster learning vs. saving it up for some other purpose, for example.

  • Well, if you haven't gotten an elbem yet, you need 1000 favor points to get an elbem. If you donate to a shrine, it increases your favor. You can also spent favor points to speed up skill learning, which consumes many favor points.

  • I know that all these things can be done, but someone mentioned an achievement for high favor, that is the kind of thing I'd like to know. Strategy of using it up for learning vs. saving.

    Thanks for trying. Never mind, no one understands me *cry* *pout*. ;)

  • Maybe favor could be used for mystery prizes and stuff?

  • There are also achievements for having lots of emblems (47, maybe 117?).

  • You're right. There isn't. You might as well spend favor when ever you can. To maximize your efforts you should spend favor from shines dedicated to the current skill you are learning (saving up the other favor for different skills... but you risk going over the limit and getting an emblem). So to avoid that you can just spend favor whenever you get it, opening every shrine you pass. Of course that takes time. Not much but some.

    But that is for now. More things will (most likely) be added.

  • Absolutely nothin'! ...say it again!

    I think there's a fair bit yet to come on the Giants front so don't despair (love the mystery prizes idea!)

  • There's some good. Example: You cannot learn some skills without spending the Emblem. It sucks though that I have to spend who-knows-how-much to get an emblem to learn something that will take a few days to learn.

  • Would love to be able to display my Favourite Giant's Emblem on my house wall or barring that on my trophy shelf.
