*Praying may take place in back-to-back sessions, but a 20-minute cool-down period is needed between prayers in order for each subsequent prayer to count toward further faith skill gain, up to five times per day.
*While additional prayer attempts between these cool-down periods will not raise faith, they will increase the player's prayer skill. If faith is not gained from a prayer, the action will not be counted against the five prayer per day limit. This scenario occurs when praying as non-[[Account Typestypes|premium]].
==Faith-Based Abilities==
As a player gains faith along their religious journey, they can expect to also discover new, faith-based abilities. The following are some but not all of those reported abilities:
- At 10 faith, it becomes possible to [[Favor#Sacrificing|sacrifice]] at altars and to [[Exorcism|desecrate]] altars.
- At 20 faith, god-specific bonuses become available. ([[Vynora]]-Small Exp. gain / [[Fo]]-Healing bonus / [[Magranon]]-Fight skill bonus / [[Libila]]--Fight skill bonus)
'''Procedure'''
*To hold a sermon, activate a [[statuette]], '''right click''' an altar, and select '''Preach'''.*A valid listener is a [[premium]] player of the same [[kingdom]] and of any religion, who is within 4 tiles of the one giving the sermon (being mounted or on foot within this distance does not matter; being embarked on any type of vehicle or , cart, however, invalidates the listener). Listeners are allowed to sit. They must also have not gained or lost any [[alignment]] within the past 30 minutes. If the player is already at maximum alignment, the alignment change might not be visible, but will still invalidate the listener. Note that listening to a sermon will always result in an alignment change.
*The minimum number of listeners for faith-gain to take place is 4. At a normal altar the priest successfully holding a sermon gains 0.02 faith per valid listener. Faith bonus for altar rarity is an extra 1% for rare, 2% for supreme, and 3% for fantastic.
*The priest giving the sermon does not count as a listener.
*Sermons have a three -hour cool-down cooldown period for the sermon-giver, and within this time, the player cannot give another sermon. Within this cool-down period, however, the same preacher can effectively serve as a listener in another priest's sermon.
*Note: if you did not gain at least 0.12 faith from the sermon itself, there were not enough valid listeners present to reset your prayer counter.
*Sermons reset the prayer counter for the preacher if 6 valid listeners attended.
*Sermons also indicate how much praying is required until the chosen god's ritual ([[Ritual of the Sunsun]], [[Rite of Springspring]], [[Holy Cropcrop]], or [[Rite of Deathdeath]]) is ready to be performed.
