Altars are primarily used to [[prayingComplete DB|prayMain]] at to gain / [[Faith:Category:Items|Items]]./ '''{{PAGENAME}}'''
== Description ==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>".  Domains can overlap, but only the strongest domain can affect you. When you Wurm are in used as the domain of your focus for [[Godsreligion|Godreligious]] and have at least 10 faith, you'll get certain bonusesrituals, including a [[fightingpraying]] bonus. The amount of the bonus is affected by to a great number of things, such as faith, [[alignment]], the type of the altar (see below), the distance Wurm diety in order to the altar, the gain religious [[qualityfaith]] of the altar, and if you're a [[Champion]].  Priests also get several bonuses from altars, including a bonus of up to 20% to successfully cast a spell, and an increase to the chance of casting a higher strength enchant spell. Another use of altars is [[sacrificing]]. Note by Phennexion: If you are trying to make an altar for 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. Underground altars will still give their bonuses above ground, for example, underground altars will spawn mycelium above ground. == Types of altars ==There are four types of altars. Wooden altars are the worst type, gold altars are the best type. The metal altars can be created inside each others domain, while the stone goods and wooden altars cannot. However, you can move or finish an altar in another domainanimals.
There are four primary types of altars:
:* [[Stone altar]] (includes stone, marble, slate and sandstone)
:* [[Wooden altar]]
:* [[Stone altar]]
:* [[Silver altar]]
:* [[Gold altar]]
=== Special altars ===
:* [[Bone Altar]]
:* [[Altar of Three]]

There are also two special types of altars on PvP servers which are not craftable by players:
:* [[Bone Altar]]
:* [[Altar of Three]]
 
== Domain ==
The domain of a deity provides bonuses to all their followers, priests and champions. An altar provides a portal from which a deity may funnel their domain into the lands of Wurm and also a place where followers may pray or sacrifice in respect to their deity.
 
When standing on a tile in the domain of your deity any follower, priest or champion will receive a small bonus to some of their skills, such as fighting skill. These bonuses vary between gods. The strength of the bonus is affected by many variables such as the follower's faith and alignment, the distance from the altar, and the altar's QL. The material type of an altar has no effect on domain influence or bonuses; it is strictly cosmetic.
 
The distance of influence for a domain depends entirely on the QL of nearby altar(s). The highest quality, and therefore most influential, will control the domain in the area.
 
In the below example, an altar of '''F'''o and an altar of '''M'''agranon are within 4 tiles of each other. The resulting domain influence for each tile is pictured.

== Destroying an altar ==
It is possible to destroy an altar via the "desecration" action. To desecrate an altar of your own faith, you must go "unfaithful" in the action bar. If you desecrate an altar of your deity you stop following that god and have your faith and favor reset to 0. [[Exorcism]] skill is gained. The altar is removed from the game.
 
You can also bash an Altar with a maul or similar item to destroy an altar.
 
== Note ==
* Any items placed on the altar do not get sacrificed - only items placed inside the altar do.
* Rarity in altars adds faith bonus and improves alignment gains in sermons. Faith bonus for altar rarity is an extra 1% for rare, 2% for supreme, and 3% for fantastic. While with normal status, an altar gives 4 alignment gain, rarity is as follows: 5 for rare, 6 for supreme, and 7 for fantastic.
* [[Sacrificing]] items at an altar requires one to have at least 10 faith with the deity that the altar belongs to.
