Blessings

Blessings

A blessing is a timed boost for every player on the server. It starts by itself each time the realm's total offered passes a milestone — by default every 150 points.

• Blessings cost nothing: they don't take points from the pool. Performing a rite never costs anyone a blessing.
• Timers only run while at least one player is online. A 2-hour blessing gives 2 hours of play, however many days that takes.
• Every blessing start and end is announced in chat and on Discord.
• Blessings use the game's own world modifiers, so every player sees the same effect.

Every blessing

Blessing	Effect	Lasts (online)	World modifier
Odin's Insight	Skill XP ×1.5	2 h	Skill gain rate
Freyr's Bounty	Resource drops ×1.5	2 h	Resource rate
Bifrost Hour	Ore and metal pass through portals	30 min	Teleport all
Valkyrie's Grace	Keep your equipped gear when you die	1 h	Keep equipment on death
Mercy of Hel	Skill loss on death ×0.5	2 h	Skill reduction rate
Pack-Mule	Carry weight ×1.5	1 h	Carry weight rate
Feast of Valhalla	Food lasts ×1.5	2 h	Food rate
Truce of the Gods	Monsters do not attack	20 min	Passive mobs

Which blessing comes when

Milestones follow a fixed order, then start over:

Realm total offered	Blessing
150	Odin's Insight (XP)
300	Freyr's Bounty (drops)
450	A random one of the other six
600	Odin's Insight
750	Freyr's Bounty
900	A random one of the other six
…	every 150 more: the same order again

"The other six" = Bifrost Hour, Valkyrie's Grace, Mercy of Hel, Pack-Mule, Feast of Valhalla and Truce of the Gods.

One offering can pass several milestones at once (a 160-point Crown Jewel at 140 offered passes 150 and 300): each one starts its blessing.

Rules

• Same blessing again = more time. If Odin's Insight is running and another Odin's Insight comes, the time is added; XP is never multiplied twice.
• Different blessings run side by side.
• Boosts multiply the server's own setting. If the server already runs XP at ×2, Odin's Insight makes it ×3 (2 × 1.5). When it ends, the server's own value comes back.
• On/off blessings (Bifrost Hour, Valkyrie's Grace, Truce of the Gods) do nothing on a server that already has that world modifier switched on; that milestone's blessing is lost.
• A crash or restart never makes a blessing permanent. Running blessings resume with the time they had left, and finished ones are rolled back at every start-up.

Limits

• Freyr's Bounty doesn't boost drops the game marks as "don't scale", some item types, or past the game's stack caps. Boss trophies are most likely not doubled.
• Freyr's Bounty stacks with Biome Lords' Iron Vein, and Pack-Mule with its Featherweight.

Changing them

Admins can edit names, effects, multipliers, durations, the milestone order and the random pool in blessings.yaml, and the milestone step with milestoneEvery (Configuration). Admins can also start and end blessings by command (Admin Commands).
