Favor - Some Update Suggestions

[OfElectricMen]

You fine folks have done some work in updating Favor rewards, in terms of pretty minor skill buffs. That’s fine, but there are still things that need to be addressed / changed / updated.

For all Favor, please finish out the Tiers that are missing. Before adding even more groups that provide Favor.

The Harpers

• Remove the shared cooldown between the Lesser and Greater Pins.
• Add an alternative to the Harper Agent if that has already been gained or purchased.

Keepers of the Feather

• Increase the tier 1 feat bonus to +4
• If a character already has a Small Augment Bag, allow them to upgrade to a Medium Augment bag or make the Small Bags unbound and sellable
• Add an alternative to Vistani Knife Fighter if that has already been gained or purchased

Purple Dragon Knights

• Offer an alternative to the Key to the City of Eveningstar. No one needs more than one, and if you have one, this is pretty poor
• Offer an alternative to the Spotted Wolf Pup creature companion OR make it unbound so it can be sold

Sharn City Council
Offer an alternative to the Inquisitive tree if this has already been gained or purchased

The Silver Flame
Replace the Half Price with I don’t know, a +2 save versus Evil or something. No one really uses spirit binders for spell casting

The Summer Court
Add an alternative to the Feydark Illusionist tree if that has already been gained or purchased

The Twelve

• Move the 400 Favor +2 save versus spells to Tier 1 as an alternative to the Small Ingredients Bag
• Increase the Tier 4 bonus to +4

Account Favor

• Tier 1: Offer an alternative to the Drow race if that has already been achieved or purchased. Perhaps a Medium or Large Collectibles Bag
• Tier 2: Offer Veteran 1 status (level 4 characters), a +1 Ability Tome (unbound), a +2 skill tome, or a +1 to +2 upgrade Ability Tome
• Tier 3: Offer 32 point characters, a +2 Ability Tome (unbound), a +3 skill tome, or a +2 to +3 upgrade Ability Tome
• Tier 4: Offer the Favored Soul class or a +3 Ability Tome or a +4 skill tome, or a +3 to +4 upgrade Ability Tome
• Tier 5: Offer Veteran 2 (level 7 characters) or a +4 Ability Tome or a +5 skill tome, or a +4 to +5 upgrade Ability Tome
• Tier 6: Offer a +5 Ability Tome, a +6 skill tome, or a +5 to +6 upgrade Ability Tome

Nice suggestions but yeeea I don't see em giving away so many tomes for free.

[Kessaran]

Too many unbound tomes would flood the market, SSG wouldn't do that. Make them BtC (favor rewards have always been character specific or server unlocks, no need to change that aspect). I would agree with the total favor rewards being changed a bit, earning Veteran Status repeatedly does nothing for us. Skill tomes +4 at like 5k favor and +5 at 7k favor seem appropriate and wouldn't mess with their cash flow much, if hardly at all. Nobody farms that kind of favor except the truly dedicated, the rest of us just bought all the +5s when they were on sale a while back. Repeat Total Favor rewards should also allow you to double down on a favor based skill/saves etc. buff you already earned. For example, instead of giving +4 right away for hitting Tier 3 Keepers of the Feather Favor, offer a +2 skill tome from them and then Nyx can allow you to get an additional +2 saves if you reach 2k total favor. That keeps the power creep locked (mostly) for Epics because most people don't spam favor every single life. Might actually encourage people to play things outside of the optimal leveling path/slayers. Maybe at 5/7k total favor it doubles ALL the unlocked skill/save bonuses from favor, that'd be awesome.
