zeal farming

[[MM] ★ Nielser]

What religion is the easiest to farm zeals with?

[ehyder]

They are all easy to farm, since one npc=1 manifestation of Zeal + consumable. Perhaps you mean most useful? If so, almost all of the shrines produce a useful consumable from harvested humans (with the appropriate shrine tool). I find the least useful early game consumable is Ymir since you cannot store the ice, or have recipes that use ice, until later in the game. And the ice melts very quickly.

Anything but Ymir.

...or Derketo (acquirring bugs can be a pita).
I like Yog or Mitra as the (Yog) food and (Mitra) ambrosia are both very useful and neither require any other ingredients.

I found derketo to be super easy to farm zeal with due to the bugs, and the stacks of CC break pots were certainly a plus.

Set is also good and his Potions cure all of the damaging status effects so he can be very helpful early or even late game. 1 heart = 1 potion + zeal and all you need is 5 branches and 1 Zeal for Snake Arrows.

this i know, the thing however is that a while ago one would get zeals for making the other items that didn't need heartsetc, aka the tools themselves. however now u need the specific items sadly.
so i was looking to see what doesnt make me have to harvest 500 human bodys

All of them require harvesting human bodies.

so not a single item gives a zeal without me having to rip out a haert or whatever for it? and every one of those is a "unique" item

Yes, that is correct.
Edit: More specifically, you use what you collect with the god-specific tool to make something at the altar, and that is what makes the zeal for that god. One other noteworthy issue, which may have been the case when you played before, is that zeal cannot be moved once created. So if you decide to build the god's altar someplace else you cannot transfer the zeal you already created to the other altar.

or is there a way to get more than one religous item (haert etc) per body

No. Just whatever else you can make using the zeal.

Wait, i actually think this isn't the case

Dont you get zeal for farming the actual god tool? For example doesnt derketo's kiss - which is used to farm the human element for altar recipes- give zeal when farmed?

[Fast Johnny]

Pretty much anything you make on an altar results in tokens. At least, that is what I have found.
