View Full Version : Favor Tracking Spreadsheet

Pretty simple spreadsheet to help plan your favor. Go through the list and click "Skip" in the "Done" column on all the quests you want to skip. This will update the sheet with quests "Planned" (not marked "Skip")
Then you should see how much favor is left and how many quests you need to do to get that favor.
As you do a quest, mark the difficulty done, in the Done column and the sheet will update to show how much you have earned, planned and skipped.

You can actually skip a lot of quests and still get to 5,000. There is 7403 favor if you do everything so you can skip 2403. You will need to do about 360 quests to get 5k favor and there is 498 quests (and raids and challenges) allowing you to skip around 138 things and still get your 5k favor.


download the file or open in sheets
the only thing you need to do is pick the difficulty or Skip from the Done column, the spreadsheet will do the rest.




Quest name, Level and Favor should be self explanatory
Possible shows a total of all favor possible to that point whether you do the quest or not
Earned = running total of all quests you marked as done
Lost = running total of all quests you marked as Skip
Total favor planned = total favor of all quests not marked Skip. This allows you to plan what quests to skip by letting you know how much favor you will have once you marked all raid and other quests you want to skip.
Total quests planed = Number of quests not marked Skip to give you a number of quests you plan to do.
Quests left = number of quests planned - number of quests done.
Quests skipped = number of quests you are skipping (Marked Skip)


NOTE: You have to download the file to make changes to it. I made this using excel and while it seems to work in Sheets, I make no promises.

NOTE: I added some comments in the title fields to explain what each number means, just hover your mouse over a total to see the notes.

The spreadsheet does have some fields already started for you. For best results just deleted all the Y/N and start to fill it in fresh.

There are a few duplicates, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not:

This is also a great planning tool. Just add a field with '=F399-H399' then you can go ahead and mark quests you want to skip and it will give you a running total of what favor you get for running EVERY other quest in the game.

If I plan on skipping just about every raid and most quests with beholders I should be at about 5100 favor.

Great tool, thank you.

Added a "Total Planned" field at the top to track everything you don't have marked "N"

Marked all raids as "N" and added " (RIAD)" to their names.

It looks like you can safely bypass all raids (some may be done on normal somewhat safely I think) and some of the more dangerous quests (like crucible) and still have enough favor to hit the 5,000 point mark. It will be a serious grind though, doing all 341 quests on elite or higher without dieing

Updated a few items.

Did you know you can skip 70 quests or so, you can skip most quests that have a huge chance of death in them. If you plan it out correctly, the road to 5000 could be a lot less stressful.

More changes, made the "Y" or "N" a drop down and added some more calcs.

In short:

download the file or open in sheets
the only thing you need to do is pick Y or N from the Done column, the spreadsheet will do the rest.




Quest name, Level and Favor should be self explanatory
Possible shows a total of all favor possible to that point whether you do the quest or not
Earned = running total of all quests you marked as done
Lost = running total of all quests you marked as not done
Total favor planned = total favor of all quests not marked N. This allows you to plan what quests to skip by letting you know how much favor you will have once you marked all raid and other quests you want to skip as N.
Total quests planed = Number of quests not marked N to give you a number of quests you plan to do.
Quests left = number of quests planned - number of quests done.
Quests skipped = number of quests you are skipping (Marked N)


Premarked all 18 raids as skipped. This loses you 486 favor but leaves you 5762 favor to earn from other quests. This allows you to skip quite a few more to bypass the bad quests.

FURYous

Major updates, it now lets you pick the difficulty and adjusts the favor to match.

NOTE: you have to choose from the drop down list with the difficulty that you plan to do the quest. Also you need to choose "Skip" on the quests you plan to skip to update the totals. For convenience, I pre selected most of the quests I normally skip. You need to change these to match your play.

Quite amazing, thank you for sharing.

A small thing - the dropdowns are missing for the last set of challenges.

A further improvement might be to add which chain / zone each quest is in and sort by that within each level, or simply sort by favor within each level as that is already in the sheet.

I added those things to the sheet.

That is strange. All I did was change the reference cell for the formulas on line 46 from Line 40 to line 45.
And correct the formulas for the Solo quest from doing a *3 to an *1 and also modified the formula to recognize if the drop down had "Solo" as a value.

I think I have all the solo quest favor calculations ironed out. I took out the challenges because the star system and the low favor you get from them don't make it worth the effort. I think I have all the quests now.

I'm not sure where the errors are, but your total favor for House J, The Twelve, The Coin Lords, The Gatekeepers, Sharn and the Summer Court are all wrong. Also some have the wrong number of quests.

For some reason the first page is protected and I can't remove the protection it so I can't easily tell where the errors are located (I am using Open Office, not Excel). The second page is not protected.

for the sake of completion I have updated the list to include all the high end raids. I am not doing challenges as the star system is a PITA to incorporate in the spreadsheet for as little favor as they give.

Please update if you have a version earlier than this post if your are interested in earning favor from level 32 raids, good luck on elite ;)

Not that I know of. Here is what I do:
On a clean copy, I copy/paste "Elite" on all the quests up to the level I am working on. Then I go back and mark the ones that I skipped or did on a different difficulty.
It takes a few minutes but isn't too hard.

The in game favor list shows which quests have not been done and unless you are skipping a ton of them, it should be easy to mark the ones skipped.

Being as I am the one making the sheet, I can also update the formula's on my current sheets as I make changes ;)

One of the reasons I have some of the quests pre-marked as skip is those are the ones I normally skip so I don't have to go back and mark them, I just mark all the others as elite.

Fixed the favor, I don't add epic versions because the favor doesn't stack and it screws up the calcs. Also I sorted by level then by house favor to keep chains together when possible.

Ah, I see, the "Total Favor Planned" just checks if you are doing things or skipping them. It assumes that if you are not skipping them, then they are done on elite. If you want a running total of actual favor earned for the level you did the quests on, look at the "Earned" Column.

Let me think about how to best change the "Total Favor Planned" to add elite if blank or the marked favor if not blank. The blanks are what makes it tricky

In the updated copy I had linked above, these fixes and extra statistics were already made. I had also fixed the incorrect favor calculations and some other things from your spreadsheet, but it was a while ago so I don't remember what all I changed. You can always reorder the quests with the sort option since you didn't like how I reordered them, but I would definitely suggest working off of that updated copy where I fixed and added a bunch of formulas. It would just need any content added after HC 4 (so Saltmarsh?).

I can't even see what you changed. all of my calculations are still there. the only difference I see is that you added a column that does the exact same thing as the column next to it that I already had but gets the total favor wrong.

https://i.imgur.com/sVEwjJZ.jpeg

The first line seems to add 4 to the total favor you can get for that quest, this of course screws everything that comes after....

I got bored with it after that because everything else is EXACTLY my work.

I really like how you reference lines in the header like Q2 and X2, quality work there....

=IF(L3="", IF(D3<>"Solo",(F3*3)+Q2, F3+Q2), Q2)+X2

Insult? That is not at all what happened. I just said your spreadsheet has some bugs that I had fixed. As far as my own work, yes, I used your original spreadsheet (well, I think I started iterating off of Noir's update to your original spreadsheet... updated myself since then) but updated all of the formulas and added some additional functionality. Not sure why you are getting up-in-arms about me improving your spreadsheet that you were gracious enough to share with us in the beginning (and only just now complaining about it when I have been making updates and posting them for a year and a half (same with other people also in this thread)).

I can't even see what you changed. all of my calculations are still there. the only difference I see is that you added a column that does the exact same thing as the column next to it that I already had but gets the total favor wrong. nope

https://i.imgur.com/sVEwjJZ.jpeg

The first line seems to add 4 to the total favor you can get for that quest, this of course screws everything that comes after up.... nope, you must have 4 favor elsewhere on that spreadsheet. that column shows the total favor that will be there after you complete that quest. it includes any favor you have already gained later.

I got bored with it after that because everything else is EXACTLY my work. nope, but again, your spreadsheet a year and a half ago was the base

Nice job being not only an arrogant ****** but being wrong on top of it. namecalling completely unnecessary and unwarranted

I really like how you reference lines in the header like Q2 and X2, quality work there.... look at where they reference (a brand new section you didn't have). no reason to duplicate the code from another section. but sure, belittle me all you want.

=IF(L3="", IF(D3<>"Solo",(F3*3)+Q2, F3+Q2), Q2)+X2

The cell I highlighted that shows 10 favor, is the one that references cells in the header, this is why it is wrong and that error is propagated all the way down the sheet. I had nothing to do with this whole column, you added that and it seems to match my column "Total of non skipped" all the way down with the exception of the wrong starting amount that gets added all the way down.

Here is YOUR calculation in Q3

=IF(L3="", IF(D3<>"Solo",(F3*3)+Q2, F3+Q2), Q2)+X2

if you note, you are calling cells Q2 and X2 that are part of the header and not part of the spreadsheet proper. This is screwing something up to give you a total of 10 instead of the 6 that you should have. But don't worry, I fixed your bugs in my spreadsheet found here: Spreadsheet download (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O_uonb4NUC8YlDRsm5yQquQ9jHxgNvft/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=104463891375490944084&rtpof=true&sd=true)

Spoiler alert, I fixed it by not adding the redundant column (with the bad calc) at all

it is and if you look at the history I liked and added the corrections people brought to my attention. The wording of your post seemed pretty insulting.

Instead of calling all the other spreadsheets buggy and lacking features, you could have just pointing out how you added the epic challenges, sorted the names without the "The" at the beginning and added the 4 quests I forgot from the hunt pack and the isle of dread preview.

I have corrected all this btw, and feel free to let me know if I missed anything.

I am human and make mistakes but calling the spreadsheet I spent uncountable hours creating over the last 5 hard core seasons, buggy and lacking features, will get you a negative response. You reap what you sow.

Just a note:
https://i.imgur.com/SBNaaps.jpeg

If you note, in the new column you have called "Favor after complete", this seems to be from a much older version of my sheet before I added the challenges to it. Note how marking the challanges as 5 star doesn't change the value? It stays 6381 until you get to a line with a quest that fixes the error.

In the column "Earned" I fixed this issue by adding the calculation for the star rating in challenges. Also I think what you are trying to do is get your running total of favor you have already completed. I normally do this by looking at column O after the lowest completed quest but I can add a total of earned favor so far at the top if you like.

As I put earlier, all of my changes have been since whatever version of your spreadsheet was out a year and a half or so ago (Noir's HC 3 post is a good reference to see differences). So any calculation changes you made to the bulk of the spreadsheet since then matching up with changes I might have made are purely coincidence from me using the same bulk data source and spreadsheet program. I have only updated my edited version of it since then.

I think you are misunderstanding what the new column I added is doing. It takes your current favor and tells you (starting from the lowest quest level) what completing the next quest will put your current favor total at. So, while these values (Q) will match up with the other column (P) if you run everything exactly in order, if you say complete all of your 15s and have a collection of 18s done, the new Q column will show you what your current favor total will be at after running these lower level quests next. I found it useful as I was running HC, so I added it.

X2 is intentional for a current favor total after completing the next lowest quest. Q2 (and related ?2s) could be removed from row 3, yes, but considering Q2 is blank (and part of a merged cell) it does not interfere anyways and allows an easy resorting of the quest list if wanted to arrange the whole list differently without breaking calculations. Again, the 10 would be because you have 4 favor somewhere else in your spreadsheet (or unmerged and typed a 4 in Q2).

I added some of the features from your sheet to try and keep a single version going. I am confused as to what you are looking for in column Q so I didn't add that as I think the information is already available in column M on mine or in the new cell T1

P.S.
I think what you have in column Q is your already earned favor + the favor of the quest on the line? So X2+m3 (if you choose elite or reaper) for line 3?

Since it looks like you just updated the favor totals to be correct now, there are just a couple more things (if you don't plan to add the extra column). Total Quests Planned shouldn't include any quests that give 0 favor (imo). Also, the dropdown for quests/challenges/etc. should only show the relevant difficulty options (can't 6 star The Pit or something). Finally, not sure why you removed the 6 star option for challenges (I think you had that before... don't think I added that one).

Yes, Q is already earned + favor of the next quests in order from lowest level to highest level. It is useful when you complete some higher level quests before lower level ones and need to see how many more of the lower level ones you need to do to reach your goal.

I know you like your spreadsheet ordered differently, or I'd just suggest copy-pasting the edited version I had, but you should be able to find the logic to quickly do these next fixes in the spreadsheet I linked if you don't already know how you want to code it up.

https://ddowiki.com/page/Challenges#Star_ranking

Star ranking
You get 1 Favor point for each star, and 1 additional Favor point if you achieve all 5 stars and run the challenge at its maximum available CR, for a total of 6 Favor possible per challenge. (With 21 Cannith and 6 Eveningstar challenges, this is a total possible Favor of 162.)

Stars are awarded only if the main objective of challenge is completed successfully, and are not awarded progressively. To get all 5 stars, you must complete all 5 objectives during a single instance.

Stars also reward a large amount of bonus XP, this bonus XP is much larger the first each star # is achieved. See the XP section for a detailed explanation on how this works.

Total Quests Planned shouldn't include any quests that give 0 favor (imo).

I pre-marked them skipped, this allows you to unmark them if you like to add to your total or leave them skipped if you want to do them for reaper XP or something.


Also, the dropdown for quests/challenges/etc. should only show the relevant difficulty options (can't 6 star The Pit or something).

I wanted a universal formula for earned favor so I didn't have to manually use one formula for quests and another for challenges. This allows me to mix and add things without worrying that I messed up the earned favor and having to go back to fix them. Being as the "Difficulty" column can be copy/pasted and well as drag copied, I didn't think it was that big a deal.


Finally, not sure why you removed the 6 star option for challenges (I think you had that before... don't think I added that one).

I did have it before but you can only 5 star challenges, I added the 6th star if you did the challenge at the highest level and got all 5 stars for the extra favor point, but this ran into issues with confusing some folks and the extra point couldn't be over-leveled so it just got messy. I took it out to simplify things as those extra points don't really add up to much (21 favor if you do them all on the highest level at 5 stars). I could add it back again if people think it is worth it. being as the challenges give so little favor to begin with, I assumed everyone skipped them

You are fine, I love the bug reports and other input. Please keep it up.

I just got a bit ticked when someone claimed their version was the only one not filled with bugs and lacking features. If you want to do your own project, great, the more options the better, but to take someone else's work, tack on quests that came out since the last revision, add some minor edits, then bad mouth everything you built your changes on, poor form.

I encourage you guys to make your own spreadsheets and add whatever you like but if it is going to be based on my work, just give credit and don't bad mouth it. If it was good enough to use as a bases for your work, then it really couldn't have been all that bad.
