Karma and Worship
Karma is an OOC representation of how much a deity likes you. Each offering you make, whether it be a prayer or an item or even participation in a quest, can earn you karma points [KP]. When you reach a certain number of karma points, you can trade them in and ask for a boon or a favour such as a special weapon or a unique pet.
Gaining Karma
You can gain karma in many different ways, both in-character and out (though mostly in). Some are easier than others but will not earn you much in the way of karma points; others are dangerous but more rewarding. It's up to you which you choose. ^^
- Offerings
- The easiest - and least dangerous - IC method of earning karma is for your character to leave money or items in the bowls beneath their chosen god's statue. Each god is different and will be more or less receptive to certain types of items but it's up to you to figure out which.
- Monetary Offerings
- Generally speaking, each $10 is worth 1 karma point up to a maximum of 20KP per item (the gods are not that impressed by worldly goods, after all). However, it should be noted that gods don't value money all that much and that financial offerings will bore them after a time, thus making the rewards fewer and further between.
- Sentimental Offerings
- If an item you offer holds sentimental value, you could earn up to double its monetary value in karma points.
- Questing
- The most dangerous IC method of earning karma, you can join in on official plots and quests. Quests usually involve other rewards as well as karma, including special weapons and potions.
There are other methods but it's up to you to find them. ;)
