Derketo’s religion lacking a lot

I guess this was already addressed before, and it certainly pales in comparison to rather controversial changes of Age of War, but since there were no updates on it, I still have to mention it. From the RP perspective, Derketo’s religion is becoming my personal favorite (goddess of the dead with altar of black, golden and bone color? Hell yeah, I’m in), however, from gameplay perspective, it’s probably the weakest of all available ones. Let’s start with the most useful item it offers – the T1 potion. While it might be a bit upsetting that it is probably the only one T1 basic item that require another material other than simply religious item (although I’m aware that insect are pretty easy to get), I can’t deny its usefulness (especially now, with stamina being much more brutal). The “transmutations” however, that’s a different story. First, they require Sliver of Unfulfilled, yet grant no Manifestation of Zeal. Second the amount of resources you have to spend vs. what you gain is abysmal. Not only you get so little for quite lot, but the end products are not even worth the hassle in the first place – you are better off gathering them default way. And then we come to the biggest pain of this religion – T3. Where in other religions you get new weapon, decorative piece (aside form Jhebbal Sag) and feast (aside from Zath), Derketo offers only the feast. No unique statue to use as decoration, and no T3 weapon (since the only weapon Derketo offers is T4 sword Lusttaker, and you need to unlock it via Blessings of Derketo). Both from practical and RP perspectives, Derketo’s religion seems to be extremely lacking in comparison to other religions, and I always feel that I have to deprive myself of a lot of religious content whenever I choose it, which is shame, because when it comes to the visuals and lore, Derketo imho is cool as hell.

All of the religions are weak.

Hopefully the next Age is the Age of Gods with a religion overhaul.

Yeah… there’s easier ways to get honey, isn’t there? :roll_eyes:

xD yeah sure, with battlepass emblems and clay like armor skins.

And if you wait for 5 more years you will get a golden hatchet for the jubilee! :smiley:
