How to get Favour

Favour is obtained by donating an amount of your geld on the Altar of Darkness, found in the Black Market.

You need to donate a significant amount to stand a chance.

  • Minimum is 10% of your total geld. Total geld includes all of your geld temporarily stored on the Black Market in the form of bids.

On top of that,

  • the minimum for Beta/Blitz server (1 turn/5 min) is 20,000,000,
  • the minimum for Guild/Solo/ArchWar server (1 turn/7-8 min) is 15,000,000,
  • the minimum for Arch server (1 turn/12 min) is 10,000,000.
  • You need to have spent at least 300 turns (all servers, no trial-and-error reincarnating/rushing).

If the above conditions are satisfied, you have a 50% chance to receive Favoured status.

Standard Favour Effects

Each god has a standard favour effect that lasts for 48 hours.

  • Nature gives......... +10% geld generation by farms/towns and pop income
  • Sun gives............. +3% accuracy in battles
  • Moon gives........... +5%/+10% without/with oversummoning node m.p. generation
  • Magic gives.......... +20 SL and decreases casting cost by 10%
  • Science gives......... Doubled item generation(UBB). Especially useful during research, when Guilds are the highest percentage of your land.
+10% increased yields when using items (like the skill Legendary Artificer).
Note: Science's protection of items such as Magical Compass, Minor Indulgence, and Uniques, is not in any way linked to favor status
  • Satan gives............ lowered unit upkeep by 10% (Mana Upkeep only lowered by 5%)
  • Lucifer gives........... +10% summoning yields/attack power (primary + counter, perhaps also secondary attack)

Random reward for getting a god's favour

On top of that, you also randomly gain one of the following(chances estimated)</sup):

Jealousy table

It is possible to be in favoured status with multiple gods concurrently. There is an inherent risk that donating to more than one god will result in jealous backlash, outlined in the table below. Safe combination of certain gods used to be possible, though this is no longer the case.

Nature Sun Moon Magic Science Satan Lucifer
Nature --25%25%50%50%50%25%
Sun 25%--75%25%25%50%25%
Moon 25%75%--25%?25%25%25%?
Magic 25%?25%25%?--75%25%25%
Science 50%25%25%75%--50%25%
Satan 50%50%50%25%50%--75%
Lucifer 25%25%25%?25%25%75%--

Jealousy remarks

  • The table dates back to Archmage and may no longer be completely accurate.
  • It is harder to get favour right after recovering from disfavour. When you are in Hatred status and you pay it off, do not try to get a second god's favour immediately after, as it will result in jealousy again.
  • Nature is the god on its own, Sun-Moon, Science-Magic and Satan-Lucifer can be seen as each other's opposites. Their combinations are the hardest to achieve.
  • Certain gods have lessened chances of becoming jealous based on the order of the donation received. Known beneficial orders include:
    • Nature, Magic
    • Magic, Moon

Disfavour and Hatred status

You receive Disfavour and Hatred status from making gods jealous and donating puny 1 geld amounts.

  • In Disfavoured status, you experience the opposite effect that favour would give you.
  • In Hatred status, that negative effect is doubled.
    • e.g. -40 spell level for Magic Hatred.


On top of that, there are short term penalties associated with Disfavour and Hatred status. They are more detrimental under Hatred. The possibilities for Disfavour are:


The possibilities for Hatred are:

Hero testing

When a god turns from favour to disfavour, one of your heroes may be tested by a God. The possible outcomes are: your hero gains one level, your hero stays, your hero loses a set amount of experience, or your hero dies. If your hero is very low level when it loses experience, its level may decrease by two.

Example 1: Gaining Sun's favour right while having Moon's favour. Get a hero, and get it leveled right after.

You offered 30,000,000 gold to Sun, the Father of the Sky.
Sun, the Father of the Sky seems to be very pleased by your generous donation.
Inner strength filled your spirit.
Your action has gained you the favour of Sun, the Father of the Sky.
The hero Vendu Clatian Berserker came to you and offered to serve under your command.
You sense a heavenly conflict between Sun, the Father of the Sky and Moon, the Light in the Night.
You hear roar in anger. You are now disfavoured by Moon, the Light in the Night.
Moon, the Light in the Night tested your hero Vendu Clatian Berserker.
Vendu Clatian Berserker passed Moon, the Light in the Night's test.
Moon, the Light in the Night is pleased with Vendu Clatian's performance.

Example 2: Two levels are lost.

Magic, the Mother of All and Nothing tested your hero Vandergaard of Faerun Berserker.
Vandergaard of Faerun Berserker terribly failed Magic, the Mother of All and Nothing's test.

Name Vandergaard of Faerun Berserker Level 6 (Xp: 16048)

    • For Nature, it is said that you have to be peaceful, without attacking other mages for days.
  • You need a special kind of relationship with another god (e.g. Hatred with at least one other god, all neutral, etc) - differs per god
  • The requirements for Most Favoured sometimes change.
  • If all of the above are satisfied, then you have a 50%(unverified) chance to become Most Favoured.

Jealousy of other gods

  • Other gods may become annoyed once Most Favoured status is attained.
  • Once becoming Most Favoured, other favoured status gods may get jealous (like when getting normal Favour) and change status.
  • Once becoming Most Favoured, other neutral status gods may get jealous (unlike when getting normal Favour).
  • Once becoming Most Favoured, other disfavoured or hatred status gods may get jealous.

Benefits

Most Favoured status brings double what normal favour brings, for double the time (96 hours). There are additional benefits which are specific to each god:

Tactics

Pull off a Moon Most Favoured at Armageddon, have the biggest power boost with no turns spent possible, and secure yourself a surprise Hall of Immortals spot that way. However, this only gives 13.3 million Net Power.
