Description

Praying can increase your faith and give occasional gifts and boosts. It used to contribute directly to how quickly you regain favor, but this is no longer the case.

In fact at the moment you only gain half the favor while praying compared to when doing nothing.

It is still being discussed wether or not prayer skill affects the type and amount of rewards given when praying at an altar. (see discussion).

Characteristics gained

Soul / Soul strength, Soul depth

Gaining Faith

You need to pray at an altar of your god to gain faith.

You can pray as often as you want but only five prayers, spaced at least 20 minutes apart, will increase your faith in any 24 hour period. The 24 hours is determined by server uptime. Use the chat command /uptime to check this. In other words, you can pray five times between zero uptime and 24 hours, five more between one day and two days, etc.

Praying Locations

You can pray at other locations than altars, depending on your god. While these actions will still give you prayer skill, praying at these locations does not increase your faith.
