 Be prepared for this process to take some time, especially if your Priest 1 has not led a group with this god before. It takes time to work out all the details to ensure success. Be patient; the hardest part of this test is getting everyone in place at once and keeping one's cool when things go wrong. Any failure dissolves the group. The requirements will stay the same at the next attempt if the group is formed by the same person (even after failing midway through the rituals). There appears to be no timer.

 When you have completed a devotion to all five of your Gods, you may seek the blessing of one of those Gods. This choice can only be made once and cannot be changed. When a God has blessed you, you have the power to bless another person, once per day.

 You'll get a vision of five Gods if the ritual works correctly (if not, clear the altar, meditate and repeat the ritual - also check that you've signed up for the Test, and note that the directions refer to the ''statue's'' left/right). Your Gods will be chosen from Amun, Geb, Hathor, Heket, Maat, Nut, Ptah, Set, Sobek, Tayet, Tefnut and Thoth. Your Gods will not change if you redo the ritual.

 == Forming a Devotional Group ==
-Once you know the gods you have to satisfy, you should pick one and find four other people with the same god to form a devotional group. One person forms the group (Tests->Test of the Humble Priests menu) and the others in the group click on him/her to join. When a group of five is formed, all the members receive some instructions. Each person will be given a priest number that determines sequence and a set of instructions to go with it. The group must coordinate their instructions (see sample instructions for an example).

 Since a person can repeat a devotion to a God many times, even with different groups, it may be worth finding people with easy requirements for each God to help people through the ritual easily. If you have an especially easy requirement for a God and are willing to help other groups, add your name and requirements to Easygoing Priests.

 Incense has five attributes: quality, adjective, positive stat, negative stat, and scent. The gods will give you a requirement for three of these attributes - the other two attributes can be anything (e.g. a requirement of "Quality 245+, speed enhancing, giddy feeling" would be fulfilled by an incense of 300 quality, clove scent, giddy feeling, speed enhancing, forgetfulness inducing). Moss similarly can have multiple stats (dry, fuzzy, slimy, reticulated, etc.), but the Gods only require two specific ones - any extra attributes are fine.
-Be careful when constructing the Blessing of Humility: the phrases each person sees in his/her popup window can say "must have two or more". If it says "at least one" and you have two good options, choose ONLY one of them ('''yes, this is a bug'''). Do not use any phrases that offend.
+The Blessing of Humility has to be constructed from the phrases given to different priests.  Each priest should paste their instructions into main and choose one (and ONLY one -- including two phrases from any one priest will fail the blessing) of the required phrases after verifying that none of the other priests have reported that phrase as offensive to the god.  Do not include any punctuation in the blessing.  Capitalization doesn't matter.

 The fifth priest recites a Blessing of Humility when all group members are back at the altar by clicking Tests -> Test of the Humble Priests -> Recite a Blessing of Humility, then entering an appropriate prayer into the edit box that appears - not by chatting it in Main. The prayer should include all the phrases that are required but not any of the ones that will insult the God (check everyone's special instructions for these). Be careful; the instructions can say "must have two or more". If it says "at least one", and you have two good options, choose ONLY one of them (yes, this is a bug). Choosing both will counts as a blasphemous phrase. The prayer appears in Main for the group members to see. Reciting the prayer too early or when one or more group members aren't near the altar will fail the group.
-If all went well, you'll all get a popup saying that your devotional group has pleased your God. Note that you can still form devotional groups for and please that God again, allowing you to help others.

-If any character that logs on your machine does the emotes, it should download the data onto that machine. If you have a mule and it is able to sign up for the test you can use that character to load all the animations and not risk disbanding a group you already have formed. Also, you can watch someone else do the emotes and it will download the animations to your machine.
+Since it's the character initiating the group that determines the required incense and moss (which can often be very hard to produce), and since it has been proven that a character can repeat the ceremony, it would be wise to keep track of who has easy requirement for each god. You can do so here : Easygoing Priests.

+Priest 4 has the easiest task since they just have to crumble moss.  This is a good job for someone new to the test.  Priest 2 usually has the toughest task since they need to perform a complex ritual.

 If you create a devotional group with just you in it, you get the emotes and can see what they look like - the first time you do them, it will download the animation so you may not see anything until you repeat it. A good way to ensure you see the emotes when you do the real ritual is to make a 1 person devotional group and do each new emote until you've downloaded and seen them all.

 ''Humble yourself before five of twelve Gods. The faithful will not choose their gods - rather, the gods will choose them. Begin by performing a Ritual of Humility, by yourself, at a common altar. Place candles on the left and right pillars, signifying enlightenment. Place a small diamond on the left focus to provide clarity, and a jug of water on the right focus, showing purity of spirit. Light the candles in the order placed. Further instruction will come to those enlightened.'' - UWorship Test description
