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 50 faith you can become a champion (this does not exist on the Freedom server). See the champion page for the other requirements.
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.
If you preach to a group of 11 other followers of your faith, you gain 1.00 faith, regardless of level. Tested on a priest with 86.71 faith, jumped to 87.71. Other followers can be priest, of the 11 we had, 6 were priest. Also we used a stone altar of 30ql.
- Note, you need 11 premium followers and the preaching priest. (We tested a previously premium, doesn't work.)
