Altar

Altar Icon

If you ignore the altar there is a 30% chance it will spawn a monster and give you 1 - 450 steps of aggravate monster

The Altar can be desecrated or you can pray at it

Desecrating an altar has a 60% chance to spawn a monster from 4 dungeon levels deeper than the current level and give you +2500 steps of aggravate monster, a 12% chance that the altar is destroyed and a 28% chance that nothing happens

Praying at an altar in the Dungeon and the Temple are quite different.

Dungeon Altars

When you pray at the altar you have a choice to donate gold with your prayer for different outcomes

If you donate nothing you have a 25% chance of a monster spawning and attacking you (75% chance of nothing happening)

If you donate less than 10% of your gold a monster will spawn to attack you and you will get 200 - 500 steps aggravate monsters

If you donate more than 20000 gold the current level will be enlightened

Praying at the altar can also have one of the following effects: enchanting your armor or weapon melting rings in your inventory or identifying random items in your inventory

Holding a prayer wheel in your inventory while praying at the altar will give you a higher chance for the effects above and will also automatically chunk your donation to receive multiple blessings in a chain reaction
