Just thought I'd make a post with a couple tips for people, not that it brings anything exciting to the Theurgy table, but if others have any other tips then they can be in one place for new people or people that are struggling with the skill. As a note my cleric has enough Theurgy for 200th+ and I still train it, it's easy peasy, just annoying since it really doesn't have any benefits and is just trained for the sake of training it.
1) Use Meraud in combat, as soon as you find the room you'll be in for a while, it opens up the doors to do rituals to regain that lost devotion. For me, once Theurgy drops below 20/34 I use Tamsine or Eluned, when it drops below 20/34 again I use the other one.
2) There's a 20 minute timer on gaining experience from using a particular commune, and mostly a 10 minute timer on gaining devotion from performing a particular rite but things like the prayer badge and anloral pins have much longer timers.
3) Incense, when you buy it, it's a stick of 10 parts, you can combine 10 of these so you end up with one incense that has 100 parts.
4) Dirt, find a thief and have them buy you one of the dirt containers from the thief shop. I use a leather bag from there and it holds 30 dirt, counts as 2 items (1=bag, 1=the pile of dirt).
5) Water, whatever container you use, fill it to the brim, Eluned can actually overfill the containers by a few parts so if you keep up on it you never have to worry about it again.
6) Beads, take a trip to Muspar'i and buy yourself some of the wood block wallets. Each wallet can hold 30 of X block and counts as 2 items total (1=wallet 1=pile of blocks), the wallets are specialized to a particular wood (dunno why), and in each major city there's an NPC that sells blocks to use for carving, the exception is Crossing the NPC is up in Dirge. The annoying part is they wander around and sometimes right in the middle of you filling your wallets they move to the next room.
