Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) With the Valrei teaser posted yesterday showing us some information about new holy sites, I have a suggestion that can make it a little more interesting to begin following one of the gods or becoming a priest of that religion. This is not intended to replace the existing conversion options. Occasionally, an avatar of a god will appear on servers for various missions or possibly at these new holy sites. I'm proposing some new interactions with these avatars. Pledge Fealty This allows a player to pledge fealty to the chosen god to become a follower. They are converted and begin at 10 faith because they made the pilgrimage to seek out the representation of their chosen god in our world. To pledge fealty, the player must seek out the Avatar of their chosen god, activate the appropriate statuette, and right-click > Pledge Fealty. If the player is already the follower of a different god with more than 10 faith, there is a small chance that the avatar will attack them instead due to their fickle loyalties. Declare Devotion This allows a follower to interact with the avatar to be granted the honor of becoming a priest of that god. Due to their resolute beliefs and faithful pilgrimage, they are awarded with a 1 week affinity to both faith and channeling. To declare devotion, the player must seek out the Avatar of their chosen god within an area of influence for this god (This might mean they must show their determination by constructing an altar nearby) then right-click the avatar with a statuette activated > Declare Devotion. If the player is the follower of a different god with 30 faith, the avatar will become enraged by their infidelity and attack the player. *Because both of these mechanics would put the presence of the avatar at risk for the sake of completing the mission, should the avatar be killed, a replacement will be sent to a new location on the server where a player has prayed to that god within the last 24 hours, and the mission would be reset and updated appropriately. The new avatar may not be needed for the new mission, but will grant a small boost to prayer for followers and priests within a set tile radius (larger or smaller based on the prayer skill of the player that had done the prayer). Renew Faith This allows a follower with 20 or more faith or a priest to interact with the avatar during the mission for a temporary (24+ hours) affinity based on that god's domain. This might look like: Vynora Toymaking, Magranon Prospecting, Fo Gardening, and Libila Butchering. This option does not appear for players that do not follow the god represented. To do this, the follower must choose a rare or better item to gift/sacrifice to the god, activate the item, and right-click the avatar and choose to "Renew Faith". Rare gives 24 hours, Supreme for 48 hours, and Fantastic for 72 hours. Edited September 21, 2022 by Seriphina 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
