Hi, I’m not sure whether or not this is a bug but currently the Ymir religion is at a large disadvantage ever since the changes to religion tools granting only 1 of the religion specific ingredients such as hearts or unblemished meat. This change was also applied to Ymir meaning you’re gaining 1 shard for every body you hit with the hoarfrost axe meaning you need to kill 5x the amount as everyone else to get the same benefits/upgrades. Needless to say when this comes to god protection farming 2500 bodies isn’t very appealing when everyone else only needs 500.

Steps on how to reproduce issue:

1. Equip a Hoarfrost Axe
2. Hit a Human corpse with said Axe
3. Only 1 Ice Shard will be granted when it should be 5 to be on par.

Been saying this for a while. Ymir is a huge pain to level and farm because they assume you are still getting the ice shards from trees. Lvl 1 ice is really the only way to get zeals it it costs x5 shards and you only get x1 zeal each. Also lvl 2 altar costs 100 shards and lvl 3 costs 200 shards. No other altar also costs a ton of religious specific tokens. So it’s a huge pain, made even worse with religious token farming changes.

What in the world are you talking about. Crafting 50 hats (the ymir religion set) gives you 500 zeals and spends 250 shards. And said hats are available at altar lvl 2. So transition to lvl 3 is just as easy.

Ymir altar in indeed the most expensive one to craft to T3.

In return, it’s the cheapest one to maintain, because as Solry said, you just need half the shards (250) to reach 500. Making Ymir altar the best one for god protection bubbles.
