Even though they've been created, Elem. skills will not be introduced in Straylight
ES Skill: Master of the Martial Form (60CP from Way of the Whirlwind)
Cults are end-game content that has been worked on forever. They will be added in Straylight.
There are nine shrines around the Nexus, one for each Power.
One of these shrines is located in the Witch's Waste
If you meet the right criteria, you can pray at an altar and join that cult.
THIS IS PERMANENT.
You must be of the right alignment (not necc. morality) to join that cult (only Angels can join Namm, Barass, and Alonai, for example)
Namm cultists MUST have Hand of Zealotry
Alonai cultists MUST NOT have Hand of Zealotry
Favor is a new statistic once you join a cult that tracks how much that EP likes you
Increasing favor comes in many forms
In Tlacolotl's cult ONLY, gain favor by killing a fellow cultist with higher favor
Alonai likes it when you heal people
Everyone can sacrifice stuff to their respective shrine to gain favor
Everyone can kill opposing cultists to gain favor. This is a bounty system
See the Political Matrix for which EP hates which--this might help you identify bounties
As favor increases, you get bonuses, CP, and Gifts
Once you reach a favor benchmark, you get a badge granting you CP
This starts at +5 CP and increases by 5 thereafter to a max of +50 CP
You can gain up to 250 CP from Cults
One time CP grant only
Gifts are essentially skills tied to favor. Each cult gets 4.
You only have a Gift if you have favor greater than or equal to the favor benchmark
Known/Rumored Cult Gifts:
Agh-za-haru: Inflict Insanity
"shenanigans gift," touch-targeted status effect; if afflicted, target has like, a 75% chance to hit different targets than he aimed at and/or move to incorrect squares
Alonai: Immunity to Agony Curse
Barass: decreased AP cost for talking (?)
Barass: Free faction mail (?)
Barass: Can rejuvinate other peoples' pets (high favor)
Barass: Cultist gets full bonuses in allied territory
Goros: Secret Doorways: Gain access to portals only Goros cultists can use (high favor)
Hashaa: Grants MP if anyone dies in your square for any reason (high favor)
Hashaa: No toll needed to access Nifleheim
Hashaa: Cultist has some latitude in their respawning
Marquai: Grant AP to another player
Marquai: Additional AP to the cultist
Namm: Killing neutrals grants +MO
Namm: Immunity to MP drain
Thloaghru: Can steal MP from pets (high favor)
Thloaghru: Spell reflection
Tlacolotl: Increase damage bonuses as you lose HP
ALL the powers hate killing mortals.
If your favor with your power goes negative, bad things happen
