Altar

Altars are primarily used to pray at to gain Faith.

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 are in the domain of your God and have at least 10 faith, you'll get certain bonuses, including a fighting bonus. The amount of the bonus is affected by a great number of things, such as faith, alignment, the type of the altar (see below), the distance to the altar, the quality 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 and wooden altars cannot. However, you can move or finish an altar in another domain.
