Symbol of Return favor cost is based on the member's level (not Voln rank). See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. Each use has a relative favor cost of 10x [[Symbol of Protection]]. In other words, 1 activation of Sym of Return uses the same amount of favor as 10 activations of Sym of Protection.

[Courtyard]

A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see a mottled grey hedgehog, some ambrominas leaf, some woth flower, a large fel tree and a polished marble bench with some stuff on it.

THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS

Symbol of Return favor cost is based on the member's level (not Voln rank). See Table for specific examples. Each use has a relative favor cost of 10x Symbol of Protection. In other words, 1 activation of Sym of Return uses the same amount of favor as 10 activations of Sym of Protection.

Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Return

Formula: 2400 + (( level2 × 40) ÷ 3 )

Ex. level 15 member: 2400 + ((15 × 15 × 40) ÷ 3) = 5400 favor

Ex. level 20 member: 2400 + ((20 × 20 × 40) ÷ 3) = 7733 favor
