In order to Ascend you must be sponsored by an Elder God, that is, Rimbol,
Smote, Mephiston or Siva. In order to be sponsored by them you must sacrifice
a corpse in the presence of their high priest who can be found in their
respective temples at the summit of Kalmara, in the Temple of Ascension.
This will allow you to join their religion. From the summit, go NE for Smote's
Temple, SW for Siva's, Temple, NW for Rimbol's Temple, and SE for
Mephistons Temple.
In addition, you need to kill 25 of the achievement bosses. Type 'achievement
boss' to se the list of bosses, including ones you have already killed. The
goblin can only be found in the Initiation and thus can only be killed before
level 6.
You must accumulate faith points with them, and then complete 3
"ascension quests" at every rank. You may get faith despite not reaching
the next rank, but cannot gain the next rank without completing the quests.
The ascension quests are available from the ascension quest masters located
in the temple of each religion.
The ranks for religion are as follows, with the amount of faith points required
to reach them:
* Neophyte
* Acolyte (100 faith)
* Follower (250)
* Evangelist (450)
* Prophet (700)
* Saint (1000)
To get faith points you must sacrifice corpses or things of value. Objects or
gold work, and 1k gold = 1 faith point. The higher level the corpse the more
likely you will get a faith point upon sacrficing.
Once you reach the rank of Saint, you can ascend by typing "ascend" anywhere in
the world. To ascend a second time, after you reach level 100, you do NOT have
to do the quests or gain ranks again.
In addition, faith points may be spent at the high priest to gain god
blessings. Simply go to your high priest and say "list" to see the options.
Then say the name of your blessing and kneel to receive the blessing. This
reduces your faith points, so if you are trying to become a Saint, it may be
worth holding on to your FP until you achieve the rank required to ascend.
The righteous mystic found NW of Palace Square performs a similar role, but for
gold and QP instead of faith points. He is available for all players,
regardless of religion.
