"Idols" are a crucial aspect of character development within the context of this game. They are items that can be equipped in specific slots within your inventory, much like armor and weapons, but with the key difference of providing various stat boosts. Understanding the mechanics of Idols is essential for optimizing your character's performance.
Each Idol occupies an "Idol Slot" within your inventory, and they come in different shapes and sizes. Some may only take up a single square, while others might occupy a larger space, such as a three-by-one rectangle. This variability in size adds an extra layer of strategy to inventory management, as players must prioritize which Idols to equip based on their size and the available space.
Idols also come in different rarities, with each rarity level offering unique benefits and power levels. Additionally, there are class-specific Idols that provide passive bonuses tailored to particular character classes. For example, a Rogue might benefit from an Idol that increases the duration of their "Hail of Arrows" ability, while an Acolyte could utilize an Idol that reduces the health cost of spells.
It's important to note that there's a limit to the number of Idols you can equip simultaneously, determined by the number of available Idol Slots in your inventory. As you progress in the game, you'll unlock more Idol Slots, ultimately providing you with up to 20 squares to accommodate your Idols.
Mastering the utilization of Idols is integral to maximizing your character's potential, as they offer valuable stat boosts and synergies that can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. Therefore, carefully selecting and managing your Idols is essential for success in your adventures.
Obtaining Idols in the game involves exploring various sources similar to acquiring armor or weapons, albeit they tend to be somewhat rarer. However, there are specific methods through which players can acquire a substantial number of Idols at once, such as Monoliths and Dungeons.
1. Monoliths: Certain nodes within the Monolith feature increased chances of dropping Idols as their primary reward. Completing these nodes will yield several Idols, making them a lucrative source for acquiring these items. Players can focus on these particular nodes to efficiently gather a large number of Idols.
2. Dungeons: Similarly, Dungeons offer opportunities to obtain Idols in bulk. At the conclusion of a Dungeon run, players are typically presented with a selection of chest rewards. By strategically choosing certain chest rewards, players can increase their chances of receiving a significant number of Idols as drops.
To unlock Idol Slots in the game, players need to progress through the main story and complete specific quests. Each quest completed will gradually expand the number of available Idol Slots. Players need to complete a total of eight quests from the list above to fully unlock all 20 Idol Slots. Once all Idol Slots are unlocked, completing additional quests will not unlock more slots.
