Quick Question on Voln Favor

[grapedog]

How is favor calculated...I can't find a resource that actually says how it's accumulated during hunting other than you release undead and gain it...but nothing specific numbers wise.

If I'm level 15 and kill a level 15 undead...how much favor would I earn?

The following assumes One (1) unit of favor is equivalent to the favor from a level 1 creature. It is unknown if the value is linear as you progress up through older creatures, but this should give you a relative approximation of favor required for using and obtaining various symbols.

I read that website already and didn't see anything that gave confirmation or solid numbers which is why I was asking.

They cite it as creature level = units of favor. As far as I can tell its a decent estimate.

When you hunt the trick is to use favor sparingly. I can hunt level 20-25 and keep courage and protection running no problem. If I try to use submission on everything I burn out pretty quick.

Favor (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Favor)

When a character helps defeat an undead (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Undead) or merely witnesses another character kill an undead, that character gains favor (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Favor). Favor is a bank of points used to power symbols (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Symbol) and advance in the Order of Voln.

Discrete favor values are not displayed in-game; however, there are some ways to measure favor. One currently accepted measure of favor is based on the amount of favor granted by killing a single level 1 undead by oneself. This is called a unit of favor.

Favor gain is linear; that is, killing a single wind wraith (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Wind_wraith) generates precisely as much favor as killing 60 lesser ghouls (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_ghoul).

A Master (rank 26 member) of the Order of Voln can view his or her favor in an arbitrary measure called spins (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Spin) by visiting the globe (http://www.krakiipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Globe&action=edit) in the Master's hall (http://www.krakiipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Master%27s_hall&action=edit). A spin is approximately 250 units of favor.

Gaining ranks and obtaining symbols (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Symbol)

One receives a new symbol (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Symbol) for each rank one receives in the Order of Voln. To advance in rank, one must obtain a certain amount of favor, visit a monk on the path to enlightenment (http://www.krakiipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Path_to_enlightenment&action=edit), and then complete a task. To check if one has enough favor to obtain the next rank, one can either visit a monk on the path to enlightenment or enter the vision (http://www.krakiipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vision&action=edit) room and PRAY (verb) (http://www.krakiipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PRAY_%28verb%29&action=edit).

The first rank and Symbol of Recognition (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_of_Recognition) are given without any task or favor requirement.

Each subsequent rank requires an amount of favor equal to the following:



Favor (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Favor) required = roundUp((Rank - 1)/3)*600 units of favorFor example, to obtain the 23rd rank, one must first gather
roundUp((23 - 1)/3)*600 = roundUp(22/3)*600 = 8*600 = 4800 units of favor
