Current Faith Rod Research

All prayers were 350 GP, so the GP totals could be off by up to 350 GP.

My aim with this research is to imprint three rods with rituals of varying sizes (gp cost to perform) and discover the maths behind them. My first method is to simply count prayers of 350 GP each and note down these counts as each stage advances. Once I have some general figures, I shall go back and carefully analyse the individual stages to gain more exact figures for the final formulas.

Ongoing theories

My current thinking is this:

"GP" = GP cost to perform ritual

  • 750 + (GP * 12.5) for imbued stages
  • 1500 + (GP * 25) for impressed stages (or twice the imbued cost)
  • Important to note: I believe only 90% of the prayer GP goes into the rod, whilst the other 10% is taken for Deity Points.

Additionally, the Softly pulsing stage appears to be treated the same as the impressed stages overall, although the artifact only becomes impressed 80-90% through this stage.

Still to test

  • Exact amounts for a sample imbued and impressed stage
  • What percentage through the Softly pulsing stage does it impress?

I only started keeping track when I hit the 'dim' status. I'll come back and test the initial phases afterwards.
