| | | | |
| − | == Description ==
| |
| − | '''Holy sites''' are randomly spawned zones for players to find. They are themed after specific Gods and biomes, in unsettled areas of the map. Priests and followers of that [[deity]] can maintain the site through [[prayer]]s and [[sermon]]s. The Holy site will provide bonuses to all who have a [[Premium]] account. The site will also have some additional positive effects within it radius. Some of these benefits will be available to all [[premium]] accounts even if they do not follow that particular [[deity]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Holy sites are temporary and will last approximately 2 weeks.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Discovery ==
| |
| − | Each type of Holy site can only spawn in places matching certain features, limiting the areas you might need to search in order to find them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *You can receive a map, which will help guide you to a Holy site through [[prayer]], [[sermon]]s or [[meditation]]. Note that only actions that would give a chance to gain [[faith]] or [[meditation]] skill has a chance to give a map. These maps have various modifiers applied to make them less clear than a normal [[Treasure map]] or [[Cartography]] map, so you may need to compare maps with others or combine them with your understanding of the server layout in order to locate the Holy site.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *These maps hints will be given for Holy site's that have not yet been located and activated. They will also be associated with the God you follow.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *On PVP servers, you may also get hint about opposite-light gods' (i.e. maps of a White light Holy site if your God is Libila and vice-versa).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Holy sites that have been located and activated can be seen by right clicking an altar and choosing "locate Holy sites".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Using this action will show the locations of all activated Holy sites on the in-game map.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Activation==
| |
| − | A Holy site is dormant and provides no benefits until it is found and activated by a follower or priest of the site's [[deity]].
| |
| − | *To activate the Holy site, pray or hold a sermon (with enough listeners for [[faith]] gain at the special item in the center of the Holy site.
| |
| − | *Once activated, the expiration timer of the Holy site will reset, in order to guarantee that a site will last for its full duration after being found.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Power and Corruption==
| |
| − | Power and Corruption are the two most important characteristics of a Holy site. Each ranges from 0 to 100.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Power''' is the strength of the [[deity]]'s influence.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is represented by the [[QL]] level of the special item at the center of the Holy site, and can be seen by examining it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Power affects'''
| |
| − | *The size of the Holy site.
| |
| − | *The power or effectiveness of almost all Holy site benefits, such as the [[QL]] level of goods received from it.
| |
| − | *There is a possibility of the Holy site expiring early, if the power ever reaches 0.
| |
| − | '''Power is increased by:'''
| |
| − | *[[Prayer]]s and [[sermon]]s within the Holy site by [[follower]]s and [[priest]]s of the site God.
| |
| − | *Only [[prayer]]s and [[sermon]]s that are valid for gaining [[faith]] may increase the site's power.
| |
| − | *The [[prayer]]s and [[sermon]]s may be done at the Holy site's special item, but any altar will work, as long as it is within the current borders of the Holy site.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Power is decreased by:'''
| |
| − | *Natural decay over time once the Holy site is activated.
| |
| − | *Chance for decay occurs at the same time as Pulse events.
| |
| − | *Amount of power decay is randomized and may not occur at all.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Corruption'''
| |
| − | *The malicious taint and impurity, which makes the Holy site less effective and possibly resulting in negative effects.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *This is represented by the damage of the special item at the center of the Holy site, and can be seen by examining it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Corruption affects:'''
| |
| − | *Damage on items received from the Holy site.
| |
| − | *Chance of backlash effects when performing [[prayer]]s or [[sermon]]s to increase the Holy site's power.
| |
| − | *Disabling of pulse effects, item improvement bonuses, and some passive bonuses if the corruption is at least 40.
| |
| − | *The effective power of the Holy site when providing benefits. For example, a Holy site with 80 [[QL]] that has 50 damage will only have the effective [[QL]] of 40 power for most purposes.
| |
| − | *The corruption will not affect the size of the Holy site.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Corruption is increased by:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There is a random chance when performing [[prayer]]s , [[sermon]]s, or special Holy site actions within the site.
| |
| − | *This is far more likely if the current corruption is already above 0.
| |
| − | *Power-affecting actions (prayers/sermons) have a higher chance to corrupt the site than special actions do.
| |
| − | *Any corruption from performing an action may be partially or fully resisted by a soul strength skill check.
| |
| − | *Chance of corruption over time is triggered on pulse events and scales with the number of players who have contributed to the site's power since the last pulse.
| |
| − | Natural chance of corruption over time once the Holy site is activated.
| |
| − | *Just like power decay, this chance occurs at the same time as pulse events.
| |
| − | (PVP only) Desecration actions performed by [[follower]]s or [[priest]]s of an opposing [[deity]], using [[exorcism]]skill.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Corruption is decreased by:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Purify actions performed on the Holy site item by [[follower]]s or [[priest]]s of the Holy site's [[deity]], using [[exorcism]] skill.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Scaling effects on decay'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Chance of corruption gain and power decay over time is increased with the number of players who have somehow contributed to the Holy site's power since the last pulse event.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Rarity'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Generally improves the results of actions and effects, and has a significant impact on [[favor]] granted to the [[deity]] upon expiration.
| |
| − | *This is represented by the rarity of the special item at the center of the Holy site, and can be seen by examining it.
| |
| − | *Rarity of the Holy site is determined randomly when it spawns, and does not change.
| |
| − |
