Hello.

So I noticed my character having a Permanent Bless buff after each Partial/Full Rest.
I thought it was a bug. Looked up on forums, redd, even asked here on steam... everyone said it's a bug.

Well, good news, I figured out what provides this Permanent Bless buff. After backtracking my save files... I can say with a 100% certainity that it's A statue of yourself, sold by Boney for 5000 Gold

You go there, select the "I'd like a statue of myself for my camp" dialogue, pay the 5000 gold.

You can go back immediately to your camp and the Statue of you will be standing. From that moment, whenever you Partial/Full Rest, you get a Permanent Bless buff.

EDIT: Also, this is not a concentration Bless. No matter how the enemy smacks you, it wont get removed, unless you manually overwrite it with your own Bless... then it only comes back if you do another Partial/Long Rest

Great knowledge. Concentration slot is precious for my cleric, and my warlock definitely needs it for blasting.

Then there is this...

You can disarm the statue and it drops the weapon(s) you had equipped while talking to the imp.

Ah, looks like i flubbed learning Shovel as ritual by scribing it. And interesting to see theres unique stuff for Gale as player.

if you avoid long resting you can keep Bliss Spores, Morninglord Radiance and Bless (for entering the prism in Creche) all the way to transition between Acts 2 and 3 where the game forces long rest

I wouldn't do that if I were you. there are a LOT of story and companion triggers that ONLY happen when you do a long rest.

indeed, but if you're doing repeated or solo run you don't care about that too much

I get the bless icon but it does not add anything to my rolls... Is it not working?

[Indure]

That would explain why Shadowheart has permanent bless in my playthrough. I wasn't sure where it was coming from.

[DYSEQTA]

Remove all your gear before buying to get that authentic stone statue look.

[Diss]

Same thing happened to me. Super frustrating. I went back with a ton of gold to buy it and it doesn't show up in the camp... even though Stoney literally tells you he will deliver it... So stupid.

[Moonbane]

Shows up just fine in camp.

[Lakasouso]

Ohhhh yes, this is it! Thanks for solving the mystery!

[ExcaliburV]

I was wondering what was causing that bless. That's really cool.
