{{Spoiler}}

Symbol of Turning has a base cost which is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples.

The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. This base cost has a relative cost of 3x [[Symbol of Protection]]'s favor cost. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead is present. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected. Since living creatures are unaffected by Symbol of Turning their presence does not increase favor cost.

*[[Undead]] are vulnerable to all that is holy.
Symbol of Turning has a cost of 72 units of [[favor]] when either targeted or untargeted (mass attack) with one [[undead]] creature in the room. The mass attack version has an escalating cost that increases for any additional undead present. The first two undead cost 72 units of [[favor]] each. Additional undead cost 36 units of favor each. There is no favor cost for any living creatures present.

Favor Cost

THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS

Symbol of Turning has a base cost which is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See Table for specific examples.

The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. This base cost has a relative cost of 3x Symbol of Protection's favor cost. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead is present. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected. Since living creatures are unaffected by Symbol of Turning their presence does not increase favor cost.

Favor Cost Table

Undead
Creatures 		Favor Cost
1 Base
2 Base × 2
3 Base × 2.5
4 Base × 3
5 Base × 3.5
6 Base × 4
7 Base × 4.5
8 or more Base × 5

Favor cost example for a level 40 member with 4 undead creatures present. (Lvl 40 base cost = 219)

219 × 3 = 657 favor

Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Turning

Formula: 2100 + (( level2 × 35) ÷ 3 )

Ex. level 15 member: 2100 + ((15 × 15 × 35) ÷ 3) = 4725 favor

Ex. level 20 member: 2100 + ((20 × 20 × 35) ÷ 3) = 6766 favor
