Main / Religion / Sermon

Description

A Sermon is held by having a priest preach to 6 or more listeners. A qualifying listener would be a follower of a deity with a premium account.

Procedure

To hold a sermon, activate a statuette, right click an altar, and select Preach.

  • A valid listener is a premium player of the same kingdom and of any religion, who is within 4 tiles of the one giving the sermon (being mounted - on an animal or on a vehicle, or on foot within this distance does not matter). Listeners are allowed to sit. They must also have not gained or lost any alignment within the past 30 minutes. If the player is already at maximum alignment, the alignment change might not be visible, but will still invalidate the listener. Note that listening to a sermon will always result in an alignment change.
  • 9x9 Tile Area. If you stand in the center of 1 tile, 4 tiles is the max distance you can see event messages in chat
  • The minimum number of listeners for faith-gain to take place is 4. At a normal altar the priest successfully holding a sermon gains 0.02 faith per valid listener. Faith bonus for altar rarity is an extra 1% for rare, 2% for supreme, and 3% for fantastic.
  • The priest giving the sermon does not count as a listener.
  • To receive a reset for faith gains, you need at least 1 priest and 6 valid listeners.

be performed.

Cooldown

The listener can participate in any sermon only once every 30 minutes due to alignment ticks. Note: it is always good measure to wait 31 minutes between sermons, so there are no mishaps.

There is a 3 hour cooldown before a priest can preach again.

Additional Notes

  • Without becoming a priest, it is not possible to raise faith above 30.
  • Faith-gain is not affected any differently by sleep bonus or by praying at different altar or tile types; all faith-gain is the same.
  • Faith is not lost when a player dies.
  • Faith can be lost when going Unfaithful and performing actions your deity does not approve of. The faith loss occurs even if the action is cancelled before it is completed.
  • Players can receive a map of a Holy site from giving sermons or by praying, but only on those actions that could possibly give faith.
  • If listeners have less than 100.00 alignment, they may gain up to 4 alignment depending on the number of listeners (+ for WL, - for BL)

Faith swap

Priests may swap their faith to another god by purchasing a Faith swap token from the marks shop. This bypasses the 7 day cooldown period that generally applies on PVE servers and immediately changes the priest to another faith. If on a PVP server, changing faiths will be subject to the kingdom change cooldown period.

Holy sites

Players can receive a map of a Holy site from preaching.

The chance to get a map is increased by:

  • Current Faith Bonus
  • Altar rarity
  • The number of valid listeners
