The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead are present. There is no favor cost for living creatures. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected.

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. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead are present. There is no favor cost for living creatures. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected.

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

Cost example for a level 40 member (Base Cost = 219) with 4 creatures present.

  • Formula with 4 undead from the above table:
Base Cost × 3
  • 81 × 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
