Diff - worship and blessings - Romestead Wiki

11 Worship and Blessings is the focused mechanics page for the Altar system in Romestead. It complements The Gods and Worship (which catalogs the seven gods) by explaining the underlying numbers and interface.

33 The Altar

56 The Altar is the worship interface. It is crafted at the Workbench from 3 Stone and can be placed anywhere in a settlement. Interacting with it opens the god panel.

78 Offerings and Affinity

910 Players click on a god portrait to open that god's offering window. Items are offered from inventory and fill that god's affinity meter. Filling the meter rewards 1 Worship Point. The "Discover Gods" quest tracks the first offering made to each god.

1011

1112 Each item resonates with a specific god. The relationship is not random; each god has a domain.Confirmation is required when buying favors (patch 0.21.1_3), preventing accidental Worship Point spends.The Altar shows a preview of upcoming worship unlocks (patch 0.20.2_1).Offering window money-splitting bugs were fixed in patch 0.20.1_26.Research notes were removed as Mercury offerings in patch 0.20.1_25 to focus the route.

1314 Sacrifices

1415

1516 A recruited citizen can be sacrificed at the Altar for bonus Worship Points. The baseline is +5 Worship Points across all gods per sacrifice; the relevant god gains an additional +10 per level of the citizen's aligned skill. A high-Blacksmithing citizen sacrificed to Vulcan therefore returns much more than a brand-new survivor.

1718 Worship Points and Talent Trees

1819

1920 Worship Points are spent in a god's talent tree. Each god's tree contains:

2021

2122 Construction unlocks (new buildings or building upgrades).Stat bonuses (damage types, armor, resistance).Citizen-buff favors (improving expertise, efficiency, etc.).An Altar Blessing (described below).

2223

2324 Talent point costs range from 1 to 3 per node, with most upgrades sitting at the 1-2 range.

2526 Altar Blessings (One Active at a Time)

2627

28+

2729 Each god offers an Altar Blessing. Only one Blessing can be active per character. Three are documented in the published Worship UI:

2830

2931 BlessingEffectBlessing of Ceres+25% overall Health.Blessing of Mars+10% overall Melee attack power.Blessing of Venus+10% overall Health and +10% overall Energy.

3032 Specific Blessing values for Minerva, Diana, Mercury, and Vulcan are not yet documented in the published Worship UI. Their talent trees still include construction and citizen-buff unlocks; the Altar Blessing slot for those four is implemented but not yet detailed in the wiki references this article relies on.

3234 Altar Level 2 and Teleportation

3335

3436 Altars upgraded to level 2 unlock teleportation. To teleport between two altars, both must be level 2. This makes multi-base play and quick travel between distant settlements practical. The Altar level-up XP display was added in patch 0.23.1_7.
