{{stub}}==Description== A '''Sermon''' is held by having a [[priest]] preach to 6 or more listeners. A qualifying listener would be a [[follower]] of a [[deity]] with a [[premium]] account. ==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 (being mounted - on an animal or on a vehicle, or on foot within this distance does not matter). Listeners are allowed to sit. They must also have not gained or lost any [[alignment]] within the past 30 minutes. If the player is already at maximum alignment, the 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.*'''9x9 Tile Area. If you stand in the center of 1 tile, 4 tiles is the max distance you can see event messages in chat'''*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. Faith bonus for altar rarity is an extra 1% for rare, 2% for supreme, and 3% for fantastic. *The priest giving the sermon does not count as a listener.*'''To receive a reset for [[faith]] gains, you need at least 1 priest and 6 valid listeners.''' *'''Sermons also indicate how much praying is required until the chosen god's ritual ([[Ritual of the sun]], [[Rite of spring]], [[Holy crop]], or [[Rite of death]]) is ready to be performed.''' ==Cooldown==There is a cooldown of 30 minutes between sermons. '''Note: it is always good measure to wait 31 minutes between sermons, so there are no mishaps.''' There is a 3 hour cooldown before a [[priest]] can preach again. ==Additional Notes== *Without becoming a priest, it is not possible to raise faith above 30. *Faith-gain is not affected any differently by [[sleep bonus]] or by praying at different altar or tile types; all faith-gain is the same. *Faith is not lost when a player dies. *Faith can be lost when going Unfaithful and performing actions your deity does not approve of. The faith loss occurs even if the action is cancelled before it is completed. *Players can receive a map of a [[Holy site]] from giving sermons or by praying, but only on those actions that could possibly give faith. *If 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]]) ==Faith swap==Priests may swap their faith to another god by purchasing a Faith swap token from the [[loyalty program|marks shop]]. This bypasses the 7 day cooldown period that generally applies on PVE servers and immediately changes the priest to another faith. If on a PVP server, changing faiths will be subject to the [[Convert#Changing_Kingdom|kingdom change cooldown period]]. ==Holy sites==Players can receive a map of a [[Holy site]] from preaching. The chance to get a map is increased by:* Current Faith Bonus* Altar rarity* The number of valid listeners ==Tools== ''Note : The value returned by the tool below is much too high. Dividing the answer by 2 will give you an approximate estimate.''<br />[http://webdepp.sense-net.at/~toni/wurm/faithcalc.php Online Faith gain Calculator] == [[Titles]] ==* Padre/Norn at 50 faith* Devout/Mystic at 70 faith* Enlightened at 90 faith* Illuminated at 100 faith [[Category:Religion]][[Category:Babel/S]]
[[PriestCDB|Main]]s and / [[Champion_player:Category:Religion|championReligion]]s have the ability to hold a '''sermon'/ '' by activating their god's channeling item, right-clicking an altar and choosing {{PAGENAME}}'preach'. There needs to be at least one follower of the preacher's god near to the altar in order for it to work.
