After how many days of prayers Gods will give you gifts?

[fkr]

In my first ever run, in the puppy cave, i found an altar and started worshipping a god.
After many days of prayers the god gifted me a pretty strong companion and a an overpowered broken weapon, a mace, that cause earthquakes when fighting someone going for a min of 100 and a max of 150 plus damage.
Still didn't find any weapon that could top that in any way.

Question is does anybody know precisely the steps to obtain them both? Cause i feel i got them out of sheer luck

It should be whatever the max favor value is at levels 15 (Pet) /30 (Weapon) of the Faith skill.

So, maybe not precisely, but the wiki says that it's determined by a piety value of your total offerings.
And that your piety cap is 30 x your Faith level.
So if 15 is the Pet, that sounds like it'd need 450 piety, and 900 for the Weapon.

If you check the wiki's page on Gods, it says how to approximate the piety value of offerings.
I guess just keep track of that and manually pray after offerings just to be sure?

This run I will go try to get that as well, but not first. I'm told that the god of earth is the toughest to get out of because of the penalty...but havent tried it yet so am unsure. Other nice thing is that earthquake isn't based on faction, so you would still get that proc if you switched out of him.

To answer your question, once you get the pet/weapon from one god, you just worship another. You get punished by your god and will get a heavy weight for a lot of ticks. Then you just keep praying/feeding the new alter until you get the message that says something like you feel your god close to you. Means your piety is high enough...then of course you have to manually pray to get the rewards

I don't believe prayers result in any piety gain. You gain affinity with your god through offerings, like corpses, or whatever else your specific god is looking for. The amount of affinity you gain is generally based on the weight of what you offer, up to a max of 30 at a time. Rods, for the gods that accept them, are always worth 5 points each though, ignoring their weight.

So they will get mad if you start worshipping a new one?

yes, and it's pretty punishing so you should be prepared when you switch.

Is there any info if there's any gameplay sense in continuing giving offerings after getting the weapon?

When i got gifted them both Prayers were the only thing i did, dunno if offerings speed up the process tho

I guess it increases the stat/skill boosts from the god.

Higher faith and better affinity with a god means their god feat is more effective. I personally don't think it's remotely worthwhile to change gods, unless you find the one you picked initially just doesn't vibe with your playstyle.

There's very little overlap between god weapons, it's not like collecting all of them will significantly benefit you in most cases, and god followers don't play nice with each other, nor are they really that much stronger than normal followers.

Urge to collect... god weapons I won't use... rising....

Ha, I guess if nothing else, you could place the ones you aren't using yourself as furniture.
Some of them are kind of nice-looking. For weapons.
Or, let your allies equip them for the Faction-wide effects some of them have, like Horome's Long Sword granting bonus Nether damage to attacks and a passive Float effect.
