I've been fiddling with a Gnomish mindcrafter lately, and something came to mind. The gnomish gods like gems, but selling gems gets you a fair bit of money. That caused me to wonder...would it be better to sac the gems or sell them and sac the gold?

Anyone know?

I am not sure, but I suppose that how much gods like something is proportional to their value. This is modified (multiplied) if the item is of the right class (gems), and maybe it is also changed for gold.

So, if you should sac gems as gems, you receive the special bonus. If you sac gems as gold, you don't receive that bonus (unless gods like gold specifically), and also this gold is less valuable than gems.

That makes sense, though I wonder if it isn't a cumulative modifier but instead simply a raw number bonus (otherwise Trolls would be getting the short end of the stick when it came to pleasing the gods).

It's been my experience that gold and live sacrifices trump gods item preferences in most cases as far as the amount of piety you can get. I think the item preference is more helpful in the beginning & at low levels.

With troll characters (or anyone with gemology) the ants even manage to dig out gems and crystals too. Magic!

Start a Trollish Druid, go to PC2 and you should get a heap of ore and gems to sell.

And as for me, I just go dwarf (literally :)) and forget about this whole issue and instead just sacrifice $$$ and more of it!

Are the dwarf gods Ferengi or something? And after a dwarf dies, he is sent to the Divine Treasury?
