Hey there!

Don't know if this is spoily, but just in case:

What is better: Sacrificing artifacts or selling artifacts and saccing the
money?

Thanks for reading

Also, bear in mind, that gods are not happy when you sacrifice a gift
they gave you (IIRC).

I almost always prefer selling, then saccing the money. I only make an
exception with races that get very bad deals from most shopkeepers, such
as Dark Elves.

Also, if you sell an artifact you can potentially buy it back at a later
time if you need to, say for rattling fodder.

Yes, that's one of the chief reasons. Another good reason is that money
is more easily "portionable" when saccing.

They most certainly are not. That one was fun finding out. <

There are some practical benefits to selling and saccing the gold, as
other people have noted, but I don't know if there's a greater value
assigned to your sacrifice one way or the other. I generally assume the
shopkeeper is not going to give my PC full value for the weapon (I
*never* work on my Haggle skill, it's a bad habit), so the gold I get
might not be quite as valuable as the artifact I had, and then sell the
artifact anyway. After the Casino I can get it back if I want to, and I
like collecting nifty stuff in the game.

That said, in the case where your god will value one sacrifice over the
other--dwarven gods prefer gold, and human gods prefer tools (like the
si)--I generally try to sacrifice the god's preferred offering.

Love and coffee,
Frances

*waves*

Don't mind me, life is hogging my time, and I'm in and out as much as I
can be but less than I'd like...

Love and coffee,
