This is my idea for a new worship test, for consideration for the worship monument. Amended after lots of constructive criticism from Pande. I'd like to incorporate any other suggestions to make this the best test it can be, so please /chat Spicy in game and/or add comments at the bottom of the page, ty :)
When a god hour pops up (not scheduled, starts with no warning) on the calendar, form a group of 3 at a special altar to burn coloured candles and offer chocolates to one of 7 gods. Complete all 7 gods to pass the test.
There will be a different altar type for each of 7 gods, and the altar must be built at least x coords away from a standard altar (far enough that it would take 10 mins or so to run between the 2) and each god requires a certain terrain/landscape feature for their altar to be built at (to make it harder to grab any random person and test their req at a standard altar when the hour pops up, and provide their candle and chocs). These should be medium cost to build (envisage as a guild project like EoH or Conflict Shrine). Each god will require a specific crossbreed of rose, orchid, sea lily or sandbloom to be planted next to it for the altar to be active, but these will be allocated randomly when the construction site is built, and then the req will also change each Egyptian season (so altars have a limited time they are active and must be maintained). (Could be extended to 7 different complex items, one type for each god - new flowers would be nice, otherwise could be an incense req, or a cut gem etc). Next to each altar, you will also need to construct 3 ceremonial candle holders.
To start the test, you'll perform a ritual at a standard altar and be given a list of coloured candle and chocolate requirement for each of the 7 gods. These will be rerolled each time you complete a ritual successfully.
These will be made from a candle and then coloured using a pigment lab.
Chocolates we already have in game could be used, but we'll have a new ability to build a chocolate producing machine. Chocolates will be made from cocoa and one other ingredient (eg choc date jumbles are cocoa and dates, choc wine cordials are cocoa and a bottle of wine, choc coconut wafers are cocoa and coconut meat).
This will be an Egyptian hour (about 20 Teppy mins) and announced randomly on calendar (like Ka hours). It will not be scheduled, the challenge will be to complete a ritual in the Egyptian hour with no notice.
When the hour pops up, you need to find 2 other people to do a ritual to one of the gods, before the hour ends (20 Teppy mins). Each of the 3 will need to bring their specific coloured candle and chocolates to the special altar. First person places and lights their candle, then places chocs on the altar, a prayer could be required here? Then 2nd person places theirs, then 3rd person. All bless the altar together to complete the ritual. You may perform a ritual to the same god many times to help other people to pass, but you need to complete a ritual to each of the 7 gods to pass the test.
20 Teppy mins sounds awfully short, if you have to run to a specific altar that has to be built on certain terrain. It's not always possible to find those configurations everywhere. This test sounds a bit like Beacons, but harder because of the reduced timeframe. -TheMazeEcho
