Maximum raw Cathedral rating? (Not graveyard)

[Draftbeer]

...without candles and incense?

Any idea about optimal build for min-maxing? Thanks in advance!

Hi. I'm waiting to see if we get the option to rotate the candlebras on the floor, as the cathedral gives you two 6x3 spaces either side of your pulpit that at the moment you can fit a shrine in but wuth some leftover unsued space.

My cathedral's at 88 base, and over 150 with full candles and incense. I imagine a base of 100+ might be possible?

88 base
209 with candles

I'm not sure, since I can't remember how much incense candles II gives. With all soft benches, all three stone church shrines (you could probably do two more, but the confessionals are better), both confessionals, and ten candelabras III, I have 85 church points. Everything, except for possibly the candelabras are the highest raw rating for the position. I just can't recall whether candalabra III gives the more or less (or the same) points as incense candles II. I think it was the same.

Edit: Didn't realize I was missing a candalabra. Must have been missing some gold nuggets and didn't quite finish the job. The max raw rating is 88. Also interesting that when I replyed there were no replys above mine, but the suddenly appeared after posting saying they had been made 2 hours ago.

Candelabra III has a base value of 3. With T3 candles, they have a value of 9.
Incense Burners have a value of 3. With T2 Incense, they have a value of 7.

Incense Burners are worse, but they don't require gold jewellery to make like T3 Candelabra's do. If you're going for maximum church rating, replace the burners, otherwise don't worry about it.

I notice though that making your own candles is pointless. The way the game works right now, maximizing your apiary to get all the wax you need, takes so much effort and money, that it's not worth it.

Sure for 'gloating rites' I totally get this max rating of 85/88 (I think you need the one stain glass window, as well).
You'll never get enough wax to make enough candles and the price of the max candles just mean you never get paid on 'pray day', so.. meh.

From an efficiency standopint, for success of prayers, 60 base is all you need. SURE, if you get more base rating, you get more faith per prayer (I get that!) but it's just not worth it from an economic standpoint.

P.S:
Is 'standpoint' a compound word, or two words - stand point. I never knew

My rating is 94 without candles or incense.
Soft bench x6
Stone church shrine x3
wall cadelabla x4
incense burner x4
stained windows x1

If you now replace the Confessional with Shrines, you can get to 96 in passive

Alot of English words are just two words put together, and then either shortened (or slered) over time until it becomes a recognized word. Thats why its nonsense when people say things that people say aren't words, half of our language probably wouldn't be official words if they judged everything equally. And if you go back further you then get compound words from Latin.

TLDR: Meaningless rant on dictionaries.

Back on topic, its a real shame that base 100 isn't possible..

'A lot' is two words. Ahem :) Sorry!

I wish we could add more windows than one in the chirch.

Mine is 94 with four incense burner IIs. With 4 incense II each service it's 110. The incense II is trivially easy to keep up with each week, unlike wax candles. Just don't wait too long into the day to do the service - I've almost missed more than one week once I'm busy with everything else!
