Deities

Which Deity Should I Pick?

There's a bunch, and they each have minor advantages but honestly if you are new don't bother with that shit yet, it's splitting hairs and not going to make a huge difference to your first characters (and you can change later anyways). For your first char you just want the easiest deities to 'favor up' with so you can supplicate your corpse whenever you die. Pick one of these:

For Good align: [A'enari]    (Works for most classes, dislikes Thieves however) 
For Evil align: [Vl'aresch]  (Also Neutral align chars)

I just use those on all my characters. I don't give a shit about the minor bonus's the other ones give you. The advantage of quick favoring and corpse retrieval with those is, to me, fucking worth it. Some random minor 5% this or that bonus isn't game breaking to me, I'm not living or dying because of those deity bonuses, so I'd rather get my corpse back and get back to work in under 2 minutes. The process of gaining favor with a deity is a bitch that can take a fucking while, that's not what I want to be doing with my time, let alone doing it under duress in the middle of a run or something.

When you've hit a new low in your own personal life, and truly 'give up', and are ready to look into the rest of the Deities you can check em out on the Deities page.

How to Devote to a Deity?

You devote to a deity by walking to their room or their naos and using the command 'devote <deity>'.

• Directions to each included on the Deity Directions page.

You can always view/check your own deity in the 'score' command output

You can see other players deities in the 'whois CHARACTER' command output

Quick Favor Guide

These deities have some 'trick' or easy peazy (and scriptable) methods to gain favor:

Deity	To Gain Favor
A'enari	Walk in/out of their room until Praised
Vl'aresch	Walk in/out of their room until Praised
Sh'Vath	Walk in/out of their room until Cherished
Masefi	Attack Inyasa in Mountain of Lost Souls, flee/return/flee/return for like 3 minutes until Loved
Ghordohl	Visit and pay him 1m coins per favor level.

These rest of them have more 'traditional' (i.e. pain in the ass) favoring methods, like killing & sacrificing corpses. As I test more I will update the table above with other easy ones, and maybe build out a quick-reference table for the traditional ones.
