__NOTOC__'''Favor is ''' represents your current relationship-status with a certain NPCs. Favor is raised by giving specific [[Gifting|gifts]] to NPC. By raising your favor with that person you'll recieve various rewards such as the ability s, according to utilize new skillstheir likes and dislikes, experience, recipes, ability to list a limited amount of items for sale to other players (similar to auction houses in other MMOand completing quests as well as [[Hang Outs|hanging out]] with them. Some NPC's) and increased value on items soldfavor requests are much harder than others, this is intended.

Favor is raised by giving specific gifts to NPC's, doing favors for them or completing quests. By reaching 100% Raising your favor you'll take the relationship to the next stage, the amount of favor gained has diminishing returns based on how many times you've reached 100% favor. The different stages of relationship you can achieve with an any given NPC goes as followscan earn various benefits:

==Selling prices==Until you reach high favor with a merchant NPC, a small exclamation mark icon (!) next to your items informs you that the NPC will not pay full price for this item. Generally you'll want to gain high favor with most NPCs, however it is worth noting that some NPCs will buy a great variety of items, or buy items that sell for a good price (such as weapons and armor). The location nearby to a dungeon or a teleportation circles can also make certain NPC merchants much more useful. ==Relationship levels==By reaching 100% favor you'll take the relationship to the next stage. Each tier of relationship has diminishing returns. The different stages of relationship you can achieve with an NPC goes as follows: {| border="0" cellpaddingstyle="background:#efe;border-radius:3px;padding:3px;width:100%;border:1px solid #9C9;margin:0 0 1em;"|- style="text-align:center;"| Despised| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;"|⇐| Hated| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;"|⇐| Disliked| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;"|⇐| Tolerated| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;"|⇐| '''Neutral''' (starting)| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;"|⇒| Comfortable| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;" cellspacing|⇒| Friends| style="width:1%;color:#9b9;" class|⇒| Close Friends| style="article-tablewidth:1%;color:#9b9;" |⇒| Best Friends | style="floatwidth: left1%; color:#9b9;"|⇒| Like Family| style="width: 500px1%; margincolor: 0px auto#9b9;"|⇒| Soul Mates|} To get from Neutral to Comfortable requires 100 favor. To get from Comfortable to Friends requires 200 favor. To get from Friends to Close Friends requires 300 favor. To get from Close Friends to Best Friends requires 600 favor. To get from Best Friends to Like Family requires 800 favor. To get from Like Family to Soul Mates requires 1000 favor. To get from Despised to Hated requires 1800 favor. To get from Hated to Disliked takes 300 favor. To get from Disliked to Tolerated takes 200 favor. To get from Tolerated to Neutral takes 100 favor. ===Total Favor===The total favor required to obtain each rank is: {| {{STDT}}!

They will reward you with '''Favor''' as well as miscellaneous rewards in theme with the activity you selected. You don't need to remember to do that every time you log off by the way. You can chose an "Hang Out" activity with any NPC as you play, and the last one you selected will be active once you log out. You also don't have to worry about logging back in sooner (whew), the activity will continue next time you log out. ==Gifting Mechanics==There are two principal ways of gaining favor with an NPC. The secondary method is performing a limited number of [[Quests]] (favors). Once these are exhausted (or sooner if some quests are undesirable or too difficult to complete at some stage of the game), the player is left with the primary method of gaining favor: giving gifts. When the player engages in Small Talk with an NPC, she learns the NPC's loves, likes, and occasionally dislikes. (Some of these preferences may remain hidden until a higher favor level is obtained). Loves and likes correspond to Keyword Categories. An item in a category the NPC like or loves will have a positive effect on Favor for that NPC, while a dislike or hatred will have the opposite effect. For example, [[Velkort]] "Likes Exotic Potions", "Likes Unusual Animal Trophies", and "Hates Food". (He also has a hidden like that the player doesn't discover until reaching {{Favor|Comfortable}}.) In game mechanical terms, this means his favor will go up when presented with an item with the keywords "Potion" ([[:Category:Items/Potion]]) or "CorpseTrophy" ([[:Category:Items/CorpseTrophy]]) or down if offered a piece of [[:Category:Items/PreparedFood]]. The amount of favor earned with an NPC for an item depends on the Keyword Category and is proportional to the value of the item. For example, Velkort gives around 6-7% of a potion's value in favor and about 4% of a corpse trophy's value. (Anecdotally, e.g., 33 for a 500 value {{Item|Basic Stoneskin Potion}} and 0.2 for a 5 value {{Item|Feathers}}. The percentages quoted here are based on experimental results and are not exact.) Perhaps surprisingly, this ratio does not seem to be necessarily higher for Loves than for Likes, even on the same NPC.<br> SoulmateThere are a few exceptions to this rule, as some items have Keywords that alter their value when used for gifting. For example, {{Item|Lead Figurine of a Goblin}} in the category [[:Category:Items/Figurine]] has the Keyword "Figurine=50", while {{Item|Brass Figurine}} has the Keyword "Figurine" (without an equals sign). The value of the goblin figurine is 10, while the value of the brass figurine is 200. When gifted, however, the goblin figurine will act as though it had a value of 50, so a single brass figurine will provide as much favor as only four goblin figurines, not twenty. Further information on Keywords can be gathered from items.json and npcs.json in the public data at http://cdn.projectgorgon.com/, or possibly through third-party (generally player-authored) tools. Favor from gifting can also be increased by raising the statistic "Favor Earned From Gifts", viewable on the General Stats tab of the Persona screen. Typical ways of increasing this stat are [[Civic Pride]] (offers 5% at the current maximum level of 50), [[Notoriety]] (up to 15% at level 93), and occasional Weekend Event bonuses. ==Favor Guide==Please note that some NPCs do not have favor options yet.{| {{STDT}}!
