Main / Religion / Faith

Description

Faith gives priests the ability to cast spells at certain levels - see the information on each god for more information on these spells.

You gain faith (and some favor) by praying at altars after converting to a religion. The maximum amount of favor you can get while praying is equal to your current level of faith. You can gain faith 5 times per real-life day, but you must leave 20 minutes between these prayers. Any prayers in between these 5 prayers will not raise your faith but will get your prayer skill up.

You cannot raise faith above 30 without becoming a priest.

At 30 faith, you may travel to the Altar of Three(WL) or the Bone Altar(BL) (depending which of the Gods you follow) and become a priest of your god. If you're on the Freedom server, you'll need to find a priest from your religion with 40 faith to perform a ritual for you in order to become a priest yourself.

At 40 faith, you can identify to which god an item was blessed: examining a blessed item will have "It bears an aura of <god>" in its description.

At 50 faith, you can become a champion of your god on the Wild server; this does not carry over to Freedom, however. You can also randomly get flint, salt, and gems from praying.

Other Information

  • Faith gain is not affected by sleep bonus or by praying at different types of altars (i.e. made of gold, silver, stone, or wood). Faith skill is not lost when a player dies.
  • It can take a player approximately a month (praying five times a day) to reach the 30 faith needed to become a priest.
  • It can take a player approximately 100 days (praying five times a day) to reach 70 faith, at which point most spells are available.

Sermons

Holding a sermon will reward a preacher with a faith related bonus when preaching to a group of listeners. A valid listener is a premium player of the same kingdom (both follower or priest), which has not received an alignment gain in the past half hour and is near the preacher (4 tiles).

  • Sermons give 0.02 faith per valid listener (priest included) in the area, minimum listeners for faith gain is 4 and maximum gain seems like its 2.50 (not confirmed).
  • Sermons reset the prayer counter for the preacher if 6 valid listeners attended. This counts only for Freedom servers, preachers on Epic servers do not get this benefit.
  • Followers of sermons now count as long as you have a deity and are in the same kingdom (since update of 2/05/2012)
  • A sermon has a three hour cooldown for the preacher. Although, within this window that same preacher can be a listener in another priest's sermon.
    • If your listeners have less than 100.00 alignment they may gain up to 4 alignment depending on the number of listeners (+ for WL, - for BL)


Despite-check - Discussion

    • Alignment gains exceeding 100.00 still count as a gain.
  • Alignment gains are notorious for breaking a sermon, make sure this requirement doesn't disqualify one of your listeners. (space sermons 30 mins apart to prevent this - see Discussion for more info)

vs.

  • Sermons need to be Spaced 30 mins apart to Count.
  • A player with an alignment gain in the last 30mins doesn`t count toward towards a sermon (they won't cause a Sermon to fail but they wont count so make sure you have enough listeners excluding them)
