Revise Favour

[noinfo]

Many of the favour options are signifcantly dated and could use an update.

Among them:
Agents favour that provides a dragon shard. This is almost useless now as it not longer allows respecing of feats at high level. Instead I would suggest a lesser heart of wood.

Silver Flame Favour 400 is great for the silver flame pots. But to get the lesser at the same level seems a bit backward. Allow lesser pots at 150.

1750 Favour for 32pt builds and a +2 tome. I can still appreciate the 1750 for 32pt builds, but a +2 tome? At the time of release this was something worth working for but now... How about considering the following progression:

400 Favour: Drow and +1 tome
1000 Favour: Veteran and +2 tome
1750 Favour:32 pt builds and +3 tome

I suppose you could make the +3 tome more favour but...

The only issue that TR's could TR 6 time for a +3 to all stats. But personally if someone is going to do that then they have earned it.

I much prefer to be able to work toward things then lottery based loot. This maybe the result of the last 8 or 9 20th raid lists getting jack. But I would like to see things such as the tome of legends developed for end game. At least you can trade stuff. An example would be tome of might which could require 8 pages dropped from Shavarath quests that unlock and item or tome.

Just some thoughts...

They have already said a review of the favor system is on the to-do list... eventually.

I'd rather see a higher tier Dragonshard for Argonessan favor, as the current one is level 10ish, and you get that favor more around level 14. I know, Dragonshards are kinda meh, but for new players at least its a level appropriate one.

I could see the +2 tome earlier, but I disagree with giving out +3's.

Earlier Silver Flame pots would be nice as well.

I'd say that Coin Lord 400 should grant a Lesser Heart (+0).

Yep but I took that to be the system not the rewards themselves. Yes the whole system needs a rework but in the meantime a review of the current rewards seems like it would not involve as much work and is badly needed.

Honestly there are a fair number of things that could be done. For one thing normalizing the total favor rewards would be something worth looking into. A reward unlock on every 250 total favor.

To give an example of what could be done:
0250 Small Hireling Contract Folder (BtC)
0500 Drow (Server)
0750 Free Feat Exchange Token (BtC)
1000 Veteran Status (Server)
1250 Character Bank, Upgrade 1 (BtC)
1500 32 point builds (Server)
1750 +2 tome of choice (BtC)
2000 Half-Orc (Server)
2250 Character Bank, Upgrade 2 (BtC)
2500 Favored Soul (Server)
2750 True Heart of Wood (BtC)
3000 +2 Character slots (Server, happens only once just like any other server perk)

And like I said, only an example before somebody goes ballistic over that. :D
Though the rewards I put down at 250, 1250, and 2250 would only occur *once* per character because of how they work. No getting them yet again on a TR.

Though I do agree that some of the tiered group favor could also use some adjustment.
Silver Flame... Blessing at 75, Lesser pots at 150, Greater pots at 400
Free Agent favor: +2 tools at 75, +4 tools at 150, +5 eternal tools at 400
House J favor: *all* Buffs at 75, special foods & oils at 150 that go beyond current items but have higher price tag.
Coin Lord: at 400 a Lesser Heart for free, or a Greater Heart for 50K platinum.
