Following this pattern:

Steps					1 through 3		4 through 6		7 through 9
Amount of favors per step:		25			50			75

So this is exactly the amount of favors that you need: 
Step	# of Favors
1	25
2	25
3	25
4	50
5	50
6	50
7	75
8	75
9	75
10	100
11	100
12	100
13	125
14	125
15	125
16	150
17	150
18	150
19	175
20	175
21	175
22	200
23	200
24	200
25	225
26	225
Total:	3150

You really don't need to release 3150 creatures to make Master status in Voln.
You also gain favor by watching other Voln members release the undead. You gain 1/3 of the favor that’s you’d receive if you’d released the undead yourself.
Please note that if you release undead that are higher than you, that you receive more favor for it.

Example:
Henkkon is Level 10, Henkkon releases, kills, a level 20 undead creature...this results in him receiving the favor twice as fast. (2 favor for every kill).

Also note that if you kill creatures under your level, then you are receiving less favor for it.

Example:
Elfstan is Level 20, Elfstan releases, kills, a level 10 undead creature...this results in him receiving half the amount of favor he could have received by releasing a creature his own age. (1/2 favor for every kill).
This process by which favor is counted is a linear scale, there are no flaws and it works very well.
