Description
Altars are primarily used to pray at to gain Faith.
Another use of altars is sacrificing.
Domain
Altars also create the domain of the gods. You know when you're in such a domain when you get the message "You feel the presence of <god>". When you first build an altar in an area without a domain, you will receive the message: "The domain of <God> now has reached this place."
The Domain with the greatest "power" takes effect, and only 1 domain can be in an area.
Domains get updated approximately 5 minutes after a server is restarted, so for a small period of time after a restart, there are no domains. A new altar's domain can take around 5 minutes to update, and a domain change can take up to 10 minutes.
When you are in the domain of your God and have at least 10 faith, you'll get certain bonuses, including a fighting bonus. The amount of the bonus is affected by a great number of things, such as faith, alignment, the type of the altar (see below), the distance to the altar, the quality of the altar, and if you're a Champion.
Priests also get several bonuses from altars, including a bonus of up to 20% to successfully cast a spell, and an increase to the chance of casting a higher strength enchant spell.
You can have 1 domain below ground and 1 other above ground without them affecting each other.
Underground altars will still give their bonuses above ground. For example, underground Libila altars will spawn mycelium above ground. However, you will not receive the domain message moving through these underground altars.
Notes
- The material type of altar does NOT affect domain range. A quality 10 wooden altar will have the same range as a quality 10 golden altar.
Creation
If you are trying to make an altar for a Priest of a different religion, i.e. you are a black lighter and your priest is Vynora, you can build the altar, and have your priest put the last piece of the altar on by unclicking faithful and attaching the last piece. Works for wooden and stone altars.
Destroying an altar
If you desecrate an altar of your deity you stop following that god and have your faith and favor reset to 0. Exorcism xp is gained. The altar is removed from the game.
Before desecrating, it should be noted that mayors and everyone with 'destroy' permission are able to equip a maul and have a minimum of 10 faith. Right click an altar to select the destroy (or desecrate) option.
Do not desecrate your deity's altar unless you are certain you want to deal with the faith and favor resets. There are no known penalties for destroying an altar on deed if you are the mayor.
