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 listener is a premium player, of the same religion, which has not received an alignment gain in the past half hour, and is near the preacher(4 tiles?).
- With six or more listeners the preacher's faith gains through prayer are reset to five. This can be done every three hours per a priest.
- With eleven or more listeners the preacher is rewarded with a .2 instant faith bonus in addition to the size six reward. This can be done every three hours per a priest.
- Sermon frequency is limited to every three hours for a priests. Although, within this window that same preacher can be a listener in another priest's sermon.
- Alignment gains are notorious for breaking a sermon, and make sure this requirement doesn't disqualify one of your listeners.
- If your priest has less than 100.00 alignment they will gain +1.00 Alignment and zero Faith (need this verified Tritus)
