  "textContent": "Worshipping gods is one of the main ways you push your settlement forward in Romestead. By giving the right items at the Altar, you earn Worship Points, and those points buy permanent blessings, new buildings, and stat bonuses that apply across your whole town. There are seven Roman deities to court, and each one wants a specific kind of offering.\n\n⚡\n\nQuick answer: Finish the tutorial to build the Altar, then offer items each god prefers to earn Worship Points and spend them on that god's blessing tree. Start with Ceres for early food and production bonuses.\n\n* * *\n\n## How to unlock gods in Romestead\n\nThe deity system switches on the moment you build the Altar, which happens during the opening tutorial. Once the Altar exists, all seven gods become available to worship, though they first appear as shadowy figures. Each god's image is revealed after you fill their meter for the first time.\n\nYou earn Worship Points by making offerings. The amount you gain depends on both the item you give and the god receiving it, since every deity values different goods. You can also sacrifice villagers for extra Worship Points if you are willing to take the loss to your town.\n\n**Step 1:** Complete the tutorial quest, which walks you through constructing several buildings including the Altar.\n\n**Step 2:** Gather resources, crafted items, rare materials, and boss drops as you explore and build.\n\n**Step 3:** Open the Altar, select a deity, and offer items (or villagers) to fill their meter and collect Worship Points.\n\n**Step 4:** Spend those points in the god's progression tree to unlock blessings, buffs, and new buildings.\n\nCollect items through exploration to offer at the Altar.\n\nYou know it worked when the deity's portrait appears in place of the shadowy figure and your Worship Point total goes up. To reach more powerful blessings, you first need to build a Carpenter and then upgrade the Altar to level two. Only one blessing can be active at a time, so pick the one that solves your current bottleneck.\n\n⚠️\n\nNote: Do not dump rare loot into the Altar at random. Many offerings will fail and waste valuable materials. Follow the god objectives instead, since boss drops and quest items act as progression keys.\n\n* * *\n\n## All seven gods in Romestead\n\nEach deity covers a different domain, which signals the kind of offering it prefers and the bonuses its tree provides.\n\nGod| Domain| Focus of blessings\n---|---|---\nMinerva| Wisdom| Tied to the first boss, the Guardian of Minerva\nCeres| Agriculture and crops| Farmstead, Bakery, crop harvest and growth\nDiana| Nature, hunting, and the Moon| Ranged damage, lumber, leatherworker\nMars| War| Melee damage, armor, defensive structures\nMercury| Speed, innovation, and trade| Market upgrades, vendor prices, magic\nVenus| Love and beauty| Citizen efficiency, attack speed, energy\nVulcan| Fire and forge| Mining, walls, construction, armor\n\nCeres is the easiest god to progress early, and her blessings noticeably improve your production. Minerva's worship route is bound up with defeating the Guardian of Minerva and offering its Eye at the Altar, which unlocks additional crafting recipes and removes an early progression wall.\n\nDefeat bosses to earn special items you can offer at the Altar.\n\n* * *\n\n## What to offer each god\n\nItems are worth different amounts of experience, and rarer items found in chests provide a much bigger boost. A Scattered Spoils of War feeds Mars heavily, while Basic Cargo does the same for Mercury.\n\n### Ceres offerings (agriculture)\n\nCeres accepts almost anything connected to nature and farming.\n\nItem| Experience\n---|---\nSeeds (Olive, Cabbage, etc.)| 0.1\nSapling| 0.1\nWheat| 2\nFlour| 2.5\nBread| 4\nOlive Oil| 5\nHoneycomb| 10\nGarum| 12.5\nBay Leaf| 15\nGrapes| 25\n\n### Diana offerings (hunting)\n\nDiana wants meat, hides, and forest materials.\n\nItem| Experience\n---|---\nRaw Game Meat| 5\nPoison Mushroom| 6\nWool| 10\nLeather| 15\nSkeleton Bow| 15\nChanterelle Mushroom| 16\nStrange Crab Meat| 30\nLeather Hood| 42.5\nCured Hide| 50\nRotted Arquites Bow| 150\n\n### Mars offerings (war)\n\nMars takes bones, weapons, armor, and battle spoils.\n\nItem| Experience\n---|---\nFlint Pilum Head| 0.5\nBone| 2\nRusted Copper Gladius| 150\nRusted Copper Hasta| 150\nScattered Spoils Of War| 200\nLobber Wristguards| 840\n\n### Mercury offerings (trade)\n\nMercury wants trade goods and travel-related items.\n\nItem| Experience\n---|---\nRoot Boots| 52.5\nBasic Cargo| 200\nBuilding options expand as god trees are unlocked.\n\n### Venus offerings (love and beauty)\n\nVenus favors potions, accessories, and valuables.\n\nItem| Experience\n---|---\nChest| 25\nMinor Health Pot| 35\nEnergy Potion| 40\nFine Accessory| 200\n\n### Vulcan offerings (forge)\n\nVulcan loves copper, coal, and items crafted at the forge.\n\nItem| Experience\n---|---\nCoal| 5\nCopper Bar| 50\n\nMinerva centers on wisdom and her worship tree is the least documented of the seven, since it is tied directly to clearing the Guardian of Minerva and offering its Eye.\n\n* * *\n\n## How to choose which god to worship first\n\nBecause only one blessing runs at a time, the best god is the one that fixes your most pressing problem. Match the deity to the bottleneck in your settlement rather than chasing the strongest-sounding bonus.\n\nIf you need| Worship\n---|---\nFood and farming stability| Ceres\nStone, walls, and construction| Vulcan\nMelee defense and armor| Mars\nRanged damage and arrows| Diana\nEconomy and magic| Mercury\nCitizen utility and energy| Venus\n\nBread doubles as a solid Ceres offering, so bake extra and keep some aside for the Altar. In co-op sessions all bonuses apply to every player, so agree on which blessing stays active before anyone commits rare goods.\n\nRomestead is in Early Access, so some offerings and tree details are still being filled in. You can find the game on its official Steam page. For now, lead with Ceres while you stabilize food, then branch into Vulcan or Mars once your town can afford the materials each god demands.",
