Question about Deity Powers/Miracles

[Ookami-san]

<p>How do you gain Powers/Miracles once you perform the quest?  How long do they last?  </p><p>Is it a once and done deal?  You pray, you cast, you go back and pray again?  </p><p>Is it a pray once, use many?  Do you pray, get the miracle/etc. and the pay the cost once and then cast it for free?  Or do you pray once, get the spell then use status whenever you cast?</p><p>Trying to understand the limitations before I start playing around with this.</p><p>Thanks!</p>

After it opens up when you complete the quest, go buy it from your altar for faction points. You get 2 charges of the blessing or miracle, and once you use both charges up, you gotta go back and buy it again.

Wow... you must really burn through status quickly in that case.

It's not too bad if you get an Imbued Altar....I think I spend about 1800-1900 favor to replenish my blessing/miracle.  You just have to be willing to take the monetary hit by sacrificing items instead of selling them.  On average I think I get about 150-200 favor per item at level 70, and that's just the treasured junk drops.

<p>With an Imbued altar, I think my level 5 miracles cost like 1700 or so.</p><p>Anyways, there's a time limit you gotta wait before you can use the blessing or miracle again anyway.</p>

I haven't used the alter alot, but it seems to be a way of getting useful spells.  How much much an item be worth to "sacrifice" it for blessings?
