Provisions, Honor & Donation Guide
Tired of explaining honor to your inductees/disciples? Just link them to this thread.
tinyurl.com/provguide

I’ve included links to other guides within the text where appropriate. This is a collection of the information I have found in the forums + my own knowledge. I hope it helps!
Please correct me if any info is wrong!

Disclaimer: Erm I enjoy coloured text so I therefore hold no responsibility over the burning of your retinas when reading this guide. xP

What to donate
There are 2 specific types of provisions:

1. Drops

These are acquired when you kill mobs, bosses, mini-bosses etc. Anything with the green text Grade # Provision in the item description is a donateable provision. Mobs on each map drop different grades of provision, ranging from Grade 1 in Sunstream all the way up to Grade 10 in Shura (as pictured above). Higher grades of provisions exchange for higher amounts of honor.
These things are the most valuable items you can get from killing mobs, and one whole stack (50) can earn you 50s-3g~ each when you sell them to an NPC. This is a good way to make money if you don’t want to donate them. (For more information on how to make money ingame, click here).
You can also sell provisions in the Trading Realm on a stall because they are necessary items for upgrading the clan skill Shared Fortune.

2. Merit Incense

This is the best type of provision you can find in Jade Dynasty and it consequently earns you the most honor/piety for donating. They usually come in stacks of 100, which earns 20,000 honor points.

How to obtain Merit Incense
You can get 1 stack of 100 for free every day by doing the daily quest Mystic Tome.
Merit Incense is untradeable, but you can buy Merit Incense Bundles (1 bundle = 100 Merit Incense) from other players.
Lv9 crafters can produce 1 Bundle per day.
3 Bundles can be won for 4th prize in the Blessing Bag and Elysium Proclamation lotteries, which are for sale at the Sky Dweller in Sunstream City. (The latter requires you to kill some Celestial Vanguards in Kunlun)
You can exchange 20 Universal Coins at the Stashkeep in Jadeon once daily for 100 Merit Incense.
Completing certain mandatory quests rewards you with incense
You can get a single Merit Incense when you summon Greedy Gnarrlio as part of the Alliance Duty quest. (use the Key of Summoning at the Summoning Stone near Rock Giant in Jadeon)
You can also get a single Merit Incense by summoning Shadow in the Alliance Duty quest too. (use the God’s Key at the Ether Stone near Caelumcide in SS)

How to donate
1. First up, locate your Faction Representative or the Piety NPC. (Find yours under the "Where to donate" heading)
2. Next, talk to them (don’t be shy! xD) and look under Quest Related.
3. Select the Donate All Your Provisions option.
4. Wait a few seconds… then voila!
WARNINGS:
Every single provision in your bag at that moment will be donated to that NPC. If you have any provisions you DON’T want to donate, I suggest leaving them in your Stash.
Many times when you try to donate you will get the "Quest Log Full" message. This is a pain, but you cannot have enough quests in your Quest Log to have to use a scroll bar to read all of them, otherwise it will not work. xD

Why donate?
Honor
1. Honor Gems
Get enough honor to be in the Hall of Excellence to gain weekly (free) honor gems. The higher your ranking, the more honor gems you get.
If you are in at least the top 500 in honor rankings, you can also exchange your honor points for Honor Gems at the Elder of Mystery in Sunstream. 240k honor = 20 Honor Gems.
2. Hero Scrolls
In each map you will find a Herald of your faction and you can acquire Hero Scroll quests from them, provided you have enough honor. There are 3 types: Red, Silver and Gold and each type rewards you with increasing amounts of exp.
3. Flameagle Order
This is a quest you can obtain from your Faction Representative to kill 10 Shura Celestial Vanguards for the reward of Taichi Pills (exp). This quest can only be obtained if you have at least 5 million honor points. 10 million and 20 million honor points open up higher levels of the Flameagle Order, which in turn reward you with more exp. (You also get your name broadcasted in World Chat when you complete the quest!)
4. Free Ethereal Gear
If you have enough honor, you can get free Ethereal weapons from your Faction Representative. The more honor you have, the higher level gears you can acquire.
5. Ascension
If you have at least 5 million honor points for your faction, you are not required to do the ascension quest. You can get a Nirvana Insignia from your faction representative, but be warned: it only lasts 24h so only take it when you want to ascend!
6. Titles
Being in the rankings of the Hall of Excellence for honor earns you special titles, depending on where you rank. You need to be ranked there for about 10 days before the update which will give you your title.

Clan
Donate to your clan to level up your skill Shared Fortune. The higher the skill level, the more exp you can share with your online clan mates. Go to the Clan Master in Sunstream to get the quest Shared Fortune. Each level of Shared Fortune requires different provisions. Click here for more information on clan skills. The more provisions you donate, the more Contrib. you have. (Contrib. doesn’t give you anything apart from the respect of your clan chief. xD)

Alliance
1. Renown
Renown has several advantages. The more renown you have, the more Arcane Bullions and Arcane coins you receive from doing the Alliance Duty quest (obtained from Alliance Master). If you leave your alliance, you will lose all of your renown.
2. Construction
Everything you donate goes towards the Construction points of your alliance. Higher amounts of construction mean a higher alliance level and a higher alliance level means more clan slots. At alliance level 4, you are able to participate in the Fort Siege.
3. Ascension
If you have 200k+ renown, you don’t have to kill Skyscream to ascend.

Piety
1. Honor Gems
Much the same as when donating to faction representatives, getting into the top rankings for piety can earn you free weekly honor gems.
2. Free Gears
With enough Piety points, you can get free Ethereal gears (head, body and boots) from Nura in Sunstream City.
3. Titles
Being in the rankings of the Hall of Excellence for Piety earns you special titles, depending on where you rank. You need to be ranked there for about 10 days before the update which will give you your title.
