How to Get Free Favor in SMITE

SMITE (and its sequel SMITE 2) is a third-person MOBA from Hi-Rez Studios where you control gods from different mythologies. The game runs on two currencies: Gems, the paid currency (bought with real money, aside from small amounts handed out in login rewards or the Battle Pass), and Favor, the free currency earned by playing matches, used to permanently unlock gods and some skins and chests. This guide focuses on Favor, since it's the only resource in SMITE you can genuinely farm without paying. You'll find the highest-value methods — wins, first win of the day per game mode, daily login rewards, account level-ups, and the free Battle Pass — with real figures pulled from the official wiki and the community, plus an estimated monthly table and answers to the most common questions about this economy.

What's the fastest way to get Favor in SMITE?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Favor, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

100 Favor per mode Daily

First win of the day (per game mode)

The "first win of the day" bonus grants 100 extra Favor the first time you win a match in each game mode (Conquest, Arena, Assault, etc.). Since it stacks per mode, if you play and win a match in two or three different modes on the same day, you can rack up 200-300 Favor from this alone, before even counting the base Favor from the match itself. It's the most time-efficient way to earn Favor from your daily play session.

~50-150 Favor/match (depending on length) Daily

Winning regular matches

The Favor from each match depends on its length: the longer the match, the more Favor it hands out. If you win, you get double the Favor you'd get from a loss of the same length, so prioritizing wins (even in faster modes) multiplies your return per hour played. Long Conquest matches typically land around 100-150 Favor on a win, versus 50-70 on a loss or in shorter modes like Assault.

~1,250 Favor and ~50 Gems per week Daily

Daily login rewards

Simply for logging in each day, SMITE hands out a reward that rotates on a weekly cycle: the first five days give Favor (adding up to around 1,250 over the week) and the last two days give Gems (15 and 35, about 50 Gems weekly). It's one of the few legitimate ways to get some free Gems, even if only in token amounts. The cycle resets automatically once completed, so it's worth logging in every day even if you're not planning a long session.

Favor and variable chests per season Every patch

Free Battle Pass

Every Battle Pass season has a free track that progresses using the same progress points as the paid track, though it only unlocks the free tier's rewards. This tier steadily hands out Favor, chests, and some cosmetics as you level up by playing regular matches. There's no cost to claim it, but the total amount of Favor varies by season and how many levels you complete before it expires.

Favor, boosters, and god/skin rentals One-time

Account level-ups (Player Progression)

Every match grants account experience, and leveling up unlocks one-off rewards: Favor, XP boosters, and occasionally temporary rentals of gods or skins. These rewards taper off as you level up (spaced further apart at higher levels), so it's a major source early on but a diminishing one over time. Still, it's worth checking the account progression tab, since some level milestones still hand out Favor in sizeable chunks.

Up to +15% on match Favor Variable

Goodwill bonus

The Goodwill system tracks your in-match behavior (not leaving, not getting reported, playing regularly) and, when maxed out, adds up to 15% extra to the total Favor earned per match. It's not an independent source of Favor, but a multiplier worth keeping high simply by playing fairly and finishing your matches, since losing it automatically reduces everything you earn from every other source.

How much free Favor can you get per month?

Source	Estimated amount	Frequency
Daily login rewards	~5,350 Favor	Daily (weekly cycle)
First win of the day (1-2 modes)	~3,000-6,000 Favor	Daily
Additional match wins	Variable	Daily
Free Battle Pass	Varies by season	Every patch
Estimated total	~5,000-10,000 Favor a month for a player who logs in daily and wins at least one match in one or two modes	—

The figure combines daily login rewards (fixed) with the first win of the day and additional wins (variable depending on how many modes you play and your win rate). More active players or those with multiple sessions a day can comfortably exceed this range; casual players will land at the lower end.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get free Gems in SMITE?

Only in very limited amounts. Gems are the game's paid currency and there's no real method to farm them by playing. The only verified free sources are the last two days of the daily reward cycle (about 50 Gems total per week), occasional event gifts or official promo codes, and sometimes small amounts included in the paid Battle Pass. Any website or generator promising unlimited free Gems is a scam — never enter your login details on those sites.

Does Favor unlock every god?

Yes, every god in the roster can be permanently unlocked using Favor, with no need to spend Gems. The Favor price varies depending on how recent the god is (newer gods tend to cost more), but sooner or later all of them become available this way. Favor can also be used to temporarily rent gods and unlock certain skins and chests.

Is it worth playing longer matches to earn more Favor?

Yes. The Favor from each match depends directly on its length, so a long Conquest match hands out considerably more Favor than a quick Assault, even when you win both. Still, if your goal is to maximize Favor per hour, the most efficient approach is usually chaining wins across several different modes to take advantage of the first-win-of-the-day bonus in each one, rather than only playing long matches in a single mode.
