Completely reworked, as the previous iteration needed improvement, updating, and the page was marked by the editors as needing reworking.
== Description ==
Altars in Wurm are primarily used to [[praying|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 as 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 focus 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 [[Godsreligion|Godreligious]] and have at least 10 faith, you'll get certain bonusesrituals, including a [[fighting]] bonus. The amount of the bonus is affected by a great number of things, such as faith, [[alignmentpraying]], the type of the altar (see below), the distance to the altar, the [[quality]] of the altar, and if you're a [[Champion player|Champion]]. Priests also get several bonuses from altars, including a bonus of up Wurm diety in order 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 gain religious [[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 [[Settlement#Permissions|'destroy' permissionsacrificing]] are able to equip a maul goods 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 mayoranimals. == Types of altars ==
