Favor
From Glitch Strategy
Favor is given to you by a Giant when you donate something to their shrine, finish an Achievement or level up. Certain rare Quoins also give favor. Favor can be spent to increase the speed of the learning of a Skill. One favor point speeds up learning by 10 seconds for a primary Giant, 7 seconds for a secondary Giant, and 5 seconds for every other Giant.

Shrine donations for Favor
You can donate items to a Giant at their shrine to increase your favor with that particular Giant. Typically any item that has a street value can be donated, but there are some exceptions, such as Hog-tied Piggies.
The amount of favor generated per donation is calculated like this:
- favor points = market worth x 0.1 (rounded to the nearest value)
For example, a cherry is worth 1 currant and would generate 0.1 favor. A donation of 1 to 4 cherries is rounded down to 0 favor. A donation of 5 cherries has a favor value of 0.5, which is rounded up to 1 favor. A stack of 250 cherries is worth 250 currants, which results in 25 favor. Some commonly donated or high favor value items, and their favor values, are in the table below.
Increasing Favor from donations
Fairly Hallowed Shrine Powder and Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder can be used to increase the amount of favor generated by a single donation. Sprinkle Fairly Hallowed Shrine Powder to double the amount of favor generated by your next donation or use Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder to triple the favor.
Shrine Mechanics
Shrines have a maximum amount of favor they can "store". At first, this is 1000 favor points per Giant. When 1000 favor points are accumulated with a Giant, you will receive a notice that an Emblem is waiting for you at that Giant's Shrine. You will not collect more favor points for that Giant until you pick up the Emblem up.
Getting an Emblem from donations works in the same manner. Any amount donated that causes you to exceed the maximum amount of favor with that particular Giant is wasted. For example, if you currently have 800/1100 favor points with Cosma, and you make a large donation worth a total of 500 favor points, you'll reach your maximum favor with Cosma (1100/1100) and receive her Emblem but the excess 200 favor points are sadly wasted. If you're concerned with wasting favor, be sure to put some thought into your donations and donate items in smaller, incremental amounts. Or use agent86's Favor Saver.
After collecting an Emblem, the maximum amount of favor points you can have with that Giant is increased by 100 points. This means you will need to accumulate 1100 favor points for your second Emblem with that particular Giant, 1200 favor points for the third, etcetera.
Daily Limits
Favor earned from donations each game day is limited by your current maximum favor with that giant. For example, if your next emblem requires 1200 favor to earn then you can only earn 1200 favor during that game day through donations. This updates when you gain a new emblem. For example, if you were at 600/1200 favor and earned 600 favor you would gain an emblem and go to 0/1300. Your new maximum favor from donations would be 1300 so you could gain an additional 700 favor that day through donations.
Formula
F/0.1 or 0.3 (if using ehsp) = Currant Amount.
Favor divided by 0.1, or 0.3 if using EHSP equals the currant amount. So if I only had meat to donate at 10 currants each and my favor was 1000, I divide the favor by 0.3 (as I'm using EHSP) and get 3333.3 currants. If I need an Emblem I go one above the number, If I need Favor I go a few under the currant amount to be able to spend the favor. So 3333.3 divided by 10 is 333.3 meats to donate.
