Incense Altar

The Incense Altar is a device added by Blood Magic used to gain a bonus to the LP gained when self sacrificing. When within 6 blocks from the Incense Altar, the Sacrificial Knife will be imbued and transformed into the Sacrificial Dagger. While imbued, the dagger cannot be used unless within 2 blocks of a Blood Altar. When used within 2 blocks, it will drain 90% of current health and apply bonus LP depending on the bonus of the Incense Altar. Use a Divination Sigil on the Incense Altar to see Current Tranquility and Current Bonus. For the Altars tiers described below, inter-cardinal directions are used for tranquility blocks and each tier unlocks extra area. The path blocks can be placed at the same level, one up, or one down from the previous level, but all cardinal directions require the same pattern. Tranquility spaces can be at the same level or up to two blocks higher then their respective path blocks. The altar has a vertical range of 6 blocks, so if the player intends to put this under their Blood Altar make sure that the base the Incense Altar stands on is level with where the tier 6 Blood Runes are.

Tranquility
Tranquility is determined from the items in the table below. Getting more value in each category has a reduced effect on tranquility, and is optimal to mix types.

An Incense Altar can be placed on a 3 x 3 square on blocks of any material and starts at 0 Tranquility and a bonus of 20% to self sacrifice.

Tier 2 Altar
The second tier is created by extending the four cardinal directions with 3 x 3 blocks of Wooden Path or Tiled Wooden Path blocks.

Tier 3 Altar
The third tier is made by further extending the Wooden Paths with 2 x 3 Stone Brick Path or Tiled Stone Path blocks.

Tier 4 Altar
The fourth tier is further extended by 2 x 3 Worn Stone Brick Path or Tiled Worn Stone Path.

Tier 5 Altar
The fifth tier is further extended by 2 x 3 Obsidian Brick Path or Tilled Obsidian Path.
