Donating to Shrines - Big spenderoonies, tiny favour gains ;_;

Not sure what happened overnight: I have for a couple of days now been donating 399 meats to Mab under EHSP and gaining 1197 favour: just under my 1200 favour limit for an emblem, then spending it to speed up learning my gardening skills. No problems there. Only I just tried to do the same thing this morning and only received like 20something favour. Tried again, same story. Looks like I just blew a few thousand grand's worth of meat and EHSP on a fart.

Not sure what's going on there. A bug, or yet another nerf?

Edit: Just want to stipulate I made 100% certain (checked and double-checked) that I made no miscalculations. Started at 0 favour, sprinkled EHSP, donated 399 meat, checked, had 20something favour, spent it, sprinkled, donated the rest of my 300-odd meat again, same story – minuscule rewards.

  • I noticed that, too. This probably belongs in the bug forum, but something definitely changed. I initially thought I might have donated to a shrine I'd already hit, but I tried again, made note of the fact that it said I was at 0/2400, donated 500 meat with an EHSP and only got around 60 favor, if that.

  • 1) Were you over your favor cap (doubtful, but it will be asked)
    2) How many meat?  1meat=10energy=1favorx3 for EHSP (known, but will be asked anyway)

  • Same here. And I know it's a new game day.  Or maybe I've misunderstand, and we can only to the max (or nearly max) favor once a RL day, not once a game day?

  • Favor donation limits are per game day.  So either a bug or (less likely) a change in how favor is calculated whose upside has not become apparent.

  • I use meat to top off donation amounts. Yesterday it was one meat for one favor. Today it took 3 meats to get one favor point. Has meat been nerfed or is it buggy?

  • Ok, it's been fixed. It was in all likelihood a bug. Would be good to hear from devs to confirm though.

  • It was a bug and it did get fixed.

  • Just to double check I understand favor limits. 

    Say the limit of a peculiar shrine is 1500 to get that emblem.  I donate 1400 that game day to spend on speed learning.  Now, for the rest of that game day, I can only get 100 favor, from that same shrine, for the rest of that game day no matter how much I donate to that shrine?  I have to wait until the next game day to get another 1400 for speed learning. 

    The same for all the other shrines.  I can donate to the limit (or one less) to each shrine to get all the favor available that game day for those shrines. :)

    (hope I wrote that clearly) :)

  • Yes, Tibbi, that's right.  However, you would get warnings if you were going to donate more than you would get favor for.

  • Oh, bug! That explains why I only got 180 favor from a donation of 16 Awesome Stew under 3x Shrine powder. :-(
