Vynora Holy Site
Contents
Description
A mystical fountain whose waters quench curiosity as well as thirst. It bears an aura of Vynora.
A Vynora Holy site will spawn randomly and will have a Vynora theme and biome. It will be in a unsettled area of the map.
There are two different types of Vynora Holy sites that can spawn
Wellspring of knowledge
- A mystical fountain dispensing knowledge.
- Spawns on beaches and other natural waterfronts.
Akashic mirror.
- A weird, black mirror that appears to be peering into another world.
- Spawns on roads and other paved areas.
Positive effects
Holy Sites have several positive effects. Except when otherwise stated, all these effects are available only to accounts with Premium time, and that have at least 30 Faith with the Holy Site’s deity.
Passive effects
Doubled QL gain bonus for items favored by Vynora, which means items receive +20% to QL increases from improvement, rather than 10%.
Special actions
Wellspring of Knowledge
- A small chance to catch any special fish while fishing, as long as you are using a tool that can be used to catch that type of fish
- When you imbibe the Wellspring of Knowledge you drink a liquid that grants a long spell effect, which grants additional chance of rarity while improving items. This bonus it for any items you are improving (not just Vynora's favored items).
Akashic mirror
- Gaze into the mirror for skill checks (with significant potential skill gain) in various characteristics, a meditating skill check with half the skill gain of a normal meditating action but without affecting your meditation cooldown timers, and a small increase to a random skill.
Pulse effects
Wellspring of Knowledge
- Awards a small amount of Sleep Bonus to everyone present within the Holy Site.
Akashic mirror
- Awards a small amount of Sleep Bonus to everyone present within the Holy Site, and has a slight chance of giving a treasure hunt map.
Creature spawns
Creatures, often with conditions, may spawn in or near the holy sites.
- This may include creatures with conditions that cannot spawn normally. For example, a scared seal or champion sheep.
- The types of creatures that can spawn, and the condition they are likely to have, depends on the type of Holy site.
Backlash effects
When performing any action at a Holy Site that might affect its Power or Corruption level (praying, preaching, purifying, or desecrating), there is a chance of a negative “Backlash” effect happening to you. This effect usually shares a theme with the Holy Site type or deity.
The chance of a Backlash effect, and the average intensity of them, is increased by:
- The Holy Site’s Corruption being above 40.
- Higher Corruption if praying or preaching to increase Power.
- Higher Power if attempting to desecrate the site.
- Lower skill for a Power or Corruption influencing action (Praying, Preaching, or Exorcism).
- Actions relating directly to Corruption (purifying or desecrating).
If the Holy Site’s Corruption is above 40, there is also a small chance to trigger a Backlash effect when performing the Holy Site’s special action.
All Backlash effects may be partially or completely resisted by a Soul Strength skill check.
Various Backlash effects are possible, including a random wound, various hostile spell effects being applied to you, or hostile creatures being summoned against you.
Expiration effects
When the activated Holy sites expires, the following things will happen:
- A very large amount of favor, for charging Rite of Spring will be granted.the amount will be increased by rarity and power values and decreased by corruption.
- One last pulse effect is triggered, but with a significantly enhanced effect, as if the site had a power closer to 100.
