Intro
Because the wiki and alot of other guides are missing huge amounts of info, are outdated or just plain wrong, i’ve decided to collate my own findings for my own benefit. Steam guides make it easy to access whilst in game and have some nice simple HTMLformatting tools.
This information will be updated as i come across it in game or as i feel like it. For now assume everything here is incomplete.
If you want me to take your suggesstions and add them provide a dated screenshot.
Altars
Red altars– Daggers and any kind of sword are accepted. Generally rewards you with a magic weapon of any kind or strength potion.
Dagger> magic shortsword
Yellow Altars– accept Life and healing potions (possibly anything realetd to life, needs more testing). Has a wide range of rewards with no real pattern i can see, often strength potions or scrolls.
Green Altar– accepts rations. Gave me the blessed buff with a 3 minute-ish duration.
Accepts Healing potion, gives life potion
Accept life potion, gave +3 dagger of disarming
Sigil Crafting
This is done at an anvil, by combining a sigil and equipment.

Metal+Helm.
Makes the helm +3 and immune to both rust and acid.
