When adventurers accomplish heroic deeds, '''favor of the gods''' is granted to their world. The favor of the gods affects all players in the game world, regardless of where they live in the real world. The [[special command]] ''/favor'' displays the amount of time remaining in the current favor or, if the world is without favor, the number of feats required before it is granted. While the world has favor of the gods, [[statue]]s to the gods are animated, the [[drop]] rate of [[Item rarity|rare items]] increases, and [[Silver Vaettir]] can spawn.

== Favor mechanics ==
Favor is granted based on how often [[character]]s obtain the ''maximum rank'' in a qualifying [[title]]. Each time this happens, the game announces the achievement via the [[chat window]] in the three [[outpost]]s that provide access to [[the Fissure of Woe]] and [[the Underworld]] (i.e. [[Chantry of Secrets]], [[Temple of the Ages]], and [[Zin Ku Corridor]]) and the four [[Port#Intercontinental ports|intercontinental ports]].

* After twenty announcements, the gods will grant favor for 60 minutes.
* While the world has favor, each additional announcement extends the duration by three more minutes.

== Notes ==
* Favor is capped at 34,999 minutes (~24 days), the equivalent of 11,667 achievements. Maintaining a constant level of favor requires a new achievement every three minutes.

{{bug|Use of the ''/favor'' command immediately before favor of the gods ends may incorrectly state that 71,582,788 minutes of favor remain. This suggests that an unsigned 32 bit integer is used to save the favor of the gods duration in seconds, as 2<sup>32</sup>-1 seconds is 71,582,788.25 minutes, or just over 136 years.}}
{{bug|"The world no longer has the favor of the gods." sometimes appears twice.}}

== Trivia ==
* During the [[Weekend events/2007|weekend of March 23, 2007]], a special event was held where both FoW and UW were opened to players at all times, without the requirement of favor of the gods.
* Prior to the [[Game updates/20070809|August 9, 2007 update]], favor was granted per [[territory]] and depended on events in [[The Hall of Heroes (arena)|the Hall of Heroes]]; when teams of a single territory defended the Hall five consecutive times, all players in their territory gained favor.
* The Treasure Hunter and Wisdom titles did not count towards earning favor between the [[Game updates/20081113|November 13, 2008 update]] (which made these titles account-based) and the [[Game updates/20090611|June 11, 2009 update]].
* Prior to the November 13, 2008 update, the [[Sunspear rank|Sunspear]] and [[Lightbringer rank|Lightbringer]] titles counted towards favor.
* The [[Game updates/20091022|October 22, 2009 update]] removed [[Hero Battles]] from the game. It is no longer possible to gain ranks in the Commander title track.
* The [[Feedback:Game updates/20130926|September 26, 2013 update]] increased the drop rate of rare items when favor of the gods is active. Prior to that update:
** Characters could only summon a god's [[avatar]] at the relevant statue while the world had favor of the gods (excluding [[The Goddess of Truth]]).
** While the world did not have favor of the gods, the only method to enter [[the Fissure of Woe]] or [[the Underworld]] was to use a corresponding [[Passage Scroll]].
