Hello all. I hope this hasn't been posted before, or else I risk looking quite foolish. In any case, the information I set out below is so useful it bears repeating anyway.

So I was near Beetletun in Post-Searing and I was killing Caromi Braves and such. I saw near Nebo Terrace a Statute of Dwayna, complete with the standard plaque. On a whim, I kneeled (/kneel) just to see what would happen. A cool sound played and a level 30 Avatar of Dwayna appeared. I talked to it and I had two choices which I could make an offering to.

1. One was to Conquest: yields an enchantment which stays with you until you go to another area (as far as I can tell). "Dwayna's Blessing. Enchantment Spell. Target ally regains Health faster while this spell remains in effect." Now, this is great because it gives you 3 pips of regen in health, coupled with Mending and Healing Breeze- you can't die! This offering requires 50 gold.

2. The other was to Courage, and this gives you a 2% morale bonus. I think this stacks if you keep giving offerings until you reach 10%. This offering requires 100 gold.

I hope I didn't mix up which offering does what...

By the way, I'm a clvl 17. Don't know if character level has anything to do with it. I tried kneeling in Sardelac Sanitarium but the avatar didn't do anything.

Anyways, see image below...

Actually I didn't know about it at all. I need to go search for other threads now to see what the other uses are. Thanks!

kneeling at the statues in temple of ages seems to summon avatars of the different gods only two would talk to me though

It works ... been to two of Grenths Temples ... one down west of Maguuma Stade and the other right near the soutern tip of Lonars Pass ... both offer the same plus an entry into the U/W.

I was hoping to stumble apon Grenths Footprints ... but with no such luck.

Cheers!

West of Maguuma? I looked there and couldn't find it. Though I did find a temple for Malandru by Old Jones (the ferryman). That is east of Maguuma.

Yes its true
"Blessings" (as i think there called) only work when your country/continent has favor...sadly
Which gives you a reason to kill the europeans!!!at guild wars of course

Do you know how OLD this tread that you brought back is?

The last post was 2 months after the release of the first Guild Wars game.

Thanks, yes I remember when I used to farm runes in Nebo Terrace and the 3 Pips of Health made the run so easy

As bad a necromancy as this is, the comment about "+3 regen + mending + healing breeze = you can't die!" was worth it. Hi-larious.

I read the beginning of this and, figuring it was a recent thread because it was bumped up so much, was ready to start bvagning out the noob comments, then I saw the date, lol.

Someone mentioned a Grenth statue in maguuma, I don't think there is one but I could be wrong, but there is a Balthazar one in the falls but unlike the Grenth one in Lornar's you cannot acces the FoW thru it.

Interesting thing about the Grenth's statue in Lornar's, you can get morale boost before going into UW.

With the Lornar's Pass entrance, you can enter from the International district with a mixed group so long as the favored territory has group majority.
