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.

===Monk's Teaching and Instruction Highlights===

*[[Undead]] are vulnerable to all that is holy.
*[[Phoen]] has taught us how to use this holy power to turn the undead, repelling or potential destroying them.


=== [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Task ===
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.


This task is straightforward. Drop a [[blue crystal]], blue crystals contain the spell [[Spirit Strike (117)]], into the lava at the volcano in Danjirland.
Cumulative cost example:
*Obtain a blue crystal (the bound blue crystals from BOOST work for this)
*From the North Gate: {{boldmono|SW, S, S, S, S, S, SW, S, SE, S, SE, S, S, S, SW, S, S, SE, SE, SE, SE, SE, E, E, NE, E, E, E, Go Trail, N, NE, E, SE, E, NE, N, NE, N, N, N, Go Trunk, NW, NE, U, N, U, U, W, W, NW, NW, Go Gash, D, D, D, D, N, NE, E}} (Lich ID 4131)
*Drop crystal in lava
*Return to monk to receive symbol (Lich ID 18191)


=== [[Ta'Vaalor]] Task ===
*One undead = 72 units of favor
*Two undead = 144 units of favor
*Three undead = 180 units of favor
*Four undead = 216 units of favor

Step 22

The Symbol of Turning, governed by Lord Phoen, is obtained at the twenty second step of the Order of Voln. This symbol can be used as either a single target or mass attack against undead creatures. This symbol uses the standard success resolution system to determine success or failure. There are several possible outcomes, from benign to instant death, that may occur depending on the level of success. The untargeted version uses the standard AoE Targeting system and will hit a maximum of 10 targets.

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
