Priests receive several guild specific commands. Only one faith related command, pray, is available to all worshipers.

Pray

This will channel some of, or all, your guild points to your deity, reminding Him of your existence and if you are out of alignment, moving you back into His favor with a satisfactory alignment for your god. How effective your prayer will be in this is determined by your skill in faith.rituals.special. You'll find it easier to perform rituals right after you prayed. Whether praying has long-term effect on rituals or not, has not yet been established. To be eligible for election to the High Priesthood, you also need to have prayed in the last 10 days or so.

The following pray messages have been gathered by Milly, Emiko and Jeanie:

<70gp
You briefly bow your head and mutter a few quick words in praise of Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers.
Milly the milkmaid briefly bows her head and mutters something.
70-120gp
You spend a moment with your head bowed praising Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers.
Milly the milkmaid spends a moment in thought with her head bowed.
120-190gp
You lower yourself to your knees and silently offer up a short prayer to Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers.
Milly the milkmaid gets down on her knees and spends a short time in silence.
190-270gp
You quietly recite a lengthy hymn of praise to Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers, while kneeling.
Milly the milkmaid seems to spend some time talking to herself while kneeling.
270-400gp
You prostrate yourself on the ground and speak at some length to Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers.
Milly the milkmaid falls flat on her face and spends some time talking to the ground.
400-551gp
You prostrate yourself before the vision of Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers, that appears before you and pray loudly and at great length.
Milly the milkmaid prostrates herself and shouts praise to Pishe, Goddess of Slight Showers.


Burial commands

This will bury a corpse to the greater glory of your God. Like pray, this will move you into better standing with Him, and if you are out of alignment, it will bring you back towards your desired alignment. It costs 50gp (100 for some of the commands) to perform for each corpse, and how effective it is in changing alignment is determined by your faith.rituals.special. It is more effective in moving your alignment than pray (especially because you can perform multiple buries for the gp of one pray). The different gods get various commands, with other description, but basically they are all the same. You can not use this commands whilst in combat, and you need to be at least guild level 25 to learn this command.

Bestow

This command allows you to put a ritual onto a faith rod. For more info, visit the Faith rods page. Bestow is learned by "worship"ing your god at your high altar with a guild level of 75 or higher.

Scour

This command allows you to remove a ritual from a faith rod. For more info, visit the Faith rods page. Scour is learned by "worship"ing your god at your high altar with a guild level of 75 or higher.

Consecrate

This consecrates an item to your deity, so it can be used for things such as Remember Place and Divine Guard/Divine Sentinel. This has to be done at the High altar of your deity or at the small altar at the entrance of the TOSG (read the room description carefully, it’s not very visible), and you will also need to be within alignment. It takes 50gps to consecrate an item, and you need to have at least 150 bonus in faith.rituals.special to attempt this. The command itself is learned at guild level 50.

Obsecrate

High Priests have a special command called obsecrate. With this command they can ask the deity to alter various things about the way deity points are spent. You can get rough details on the current setup with the Devout Inquisition ritual.

The things they can currently do are:

  • Reduce ritual costs - up to 30% of ritual costs can be set to be shouldered by the deity point pool.
  • Increase ritual costs by taking tithes - rituals can be made to cost 30% more than usual, with some of the surplus being put back in the deity point pool. This is a more efficient way of converting gp to dp than praying.
  • Make rituals easier and better - self-explanatory really, this can chew up a large amount of dp.

As usual, heretics are unaffected by all of this.

Meditate
