Traveling and Favors

I've found a bit of a hard time when I come to traveling to other cities for hunts and finding the best/fastest way to get the new favor in the city.

I think I just found the worst way though. I did this:
Quit the old favor
Completed 3 cases in old city
Traveled to Shainghai
Had to do 4 cases to get the next favor.

Did I happen to do it the worst possible way?

What’s the best way ya’ll (2nd person Plural) have found?

I like to have just completed a favor in my old city before I travel (since credit for all cases toward a favor seems to vanish when you leave and return, you may as well cash in all that credit before leaving). Then, in the new city, I normally only have to do 3 cases to get my first favor there.

I've never been sure if quitting or walking out on a favor in Delhi, for instance (not my home) will mean I need to do 4 for the next favor in my next new city or that I need to do 4 on my next trip to Delhi. sounds like your experience suggests the former.

Hehehe, yes there is a bit of a trick to it but I can't tell you because you are on our list to get past. Happy Sleuthing!

You're right P.Rockwell, that IS the worst possible way to do it

Glad you posted this. It happened to me too. Plus, I can't remember if when I returned, if I had to do less work to get the next favor. I think a favor was just 'flushed.'

It's not quite the worst way. I left a city after doing a case without checking for a favour, and then in the next city I had to do 6 cases to get a favour. :(

I have come to notice if you have a favor waiting in your current city.Solve it before traveling as you will need all possible cases when traveling.Otherwise it is like quitting a favor.It will require 4 cases to get a new favor in the new city you traveled to.Also the harder the cases you do a favor may appear after 2 cases even.Just don't quit a favor before leaving as yes it will definitely take 4 cases until the next favor.

Right Sheerluck, when you leave a cuty for favor is gone. The townies just don't remember like they used to.
Good luck getting past Mehome :P :)
3 cases a day won't do it :D

Traveled again this tim ecompleting the old city favor and one time it took 4 cases and the other it took 3.
