(+1% for rare, +2% for supreme, +3% for fantastic). ==Sermons=== Holding a sermon will reward a preacher with is yet one more way in which a player may gain faith -related bonus when bonuses. This involves holding a service and preaching to a group of nearby listeners.   '''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 (both follower '''being mounted or''' prieston foot within this distance does not matter; being embarked on any type of vehicle, cart, however, invalidates the listener), which has . Listeners are allowed to sit. They must also have not received an gained or lost any [[alignment]] gain in within the past half hour and 30 minutes. If the player is near already at maximum alignment, the preacher (4 tiles)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. *Sermons give 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 (priest included) in the area. Faith bonus for altar rarity is an extra 1% for rare, minimum listeners 2% for faith gain is 4 supreme, and maximum gain seems like its 2.50 (not confirmed)3% for fantastic. *The priest giving the sermon does NOT not count as a listener. So you need 7 players total to reset the prays for the day (the preacher and 6 valid listeners). *Sermons reset have a three-hour cooldown period for the prayer counter for sermon-giver, and within this time, the preacher if 6 valid listeners attendedplayer cannot give another sermon. This counts only for Freedom serversWithin this cool-down period, however, preachers on the same preacher can effectively serve as a listener in another priest'''Epic servers do not get this benefits sermon.''' **If Note: if you did not gain at least 0.12 faith from the sermon itself, you did there were not have enough valid listeners present to reset your prayer counter.*Followers of sermons now count as long as you have a deity and are in the same kingdom (since update of 2/05/2012)*A sermon has a three hour cooldown for the preacher. Although, within this window that same preacher can be a listener in another priest'''Listener Benefits'''s sermon.**If your listeners have less than 100.00 alignment , they may gain up to 4 alignment depending on the number of listeners (+ for [[Whitelighter|WL]], - for [[Blacklighter|BL]]) *Sermons Note: sermons given by different priests need to be spaced at least 30 mins minutes apart in order to Countcontinue to benefit the listener.  '''Additional Priest Benefits''' *A player with an alignment gain in Sermons reset the prayer counter for the last 30mins doesn`t count toward towards a sermon (they won't cause a Sermon to fail but they wont count so make sure you have enough preacher if 6 valid listeners excluding them)attended. **Alignment gains exceeding 100.00 still count as a gain.*A mounted player does not count toward Sermons also indicate how much praying is required until the preacherchosen god's faith gainritual ([[Ritual of the sun]], [[Rite of spring]], [[Holy crop]], or [[Rite of death]]) is ready to be performed.
