Plantilla:Location Infobox

The graveyard is introduced in the tutorial. An integral part of the game is how well you "keep" or maintain your graveyard. The most important part of the graveyard is its rating. The church is located in the graveyard.

## Graveyard Rating

Graveyard rating is the main factor affecting the amount of money earned by donations in weekly sermons. It is therefore desirable to have a high Plantilla:Graveyard Rating.

There are four factors that affect quality: bushes, corpses, decor and graves.

### Bushes

Bushes are present at the start of the game and do not currently regrow after being removed. Each bush has a -1 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating effect on rating.

### Corpses

The quality of a buried Plantilla:Item determines the maximum rating per grave. The number of Plantilla:Red Skull, Plantilla:Green Skull and Plantilla:White Skull in the corpse rating are the basis of the quality. No grave can have a higher Plantilla:Graveyard Rating rating than the number of Plantilla:White Skull on that corpse. Additionally, certain autopsy operations increase the base Plantilla:Graveyard Rating rating of a grave. See Plantilla:Item for more info.

(Possible Bug Warning: If you exhume a corpse with 100% freshness from the right/east side of the graveyard, be wary of trying to improve it via autopsy. Corpses that spawned in the graveyard at the start of game may not acknowledge organs or parts added to them, effectively 'eating' the parts with no benefit. Parts can still be removed as normal. )

### Decor

Decor includes things like lanterns, urns with ashes, flower beds, prayer stations, etc. Each piece of decor adds some amount of Plantilla:Graveyard Rating. The fence around the whole graveyard can be repaired for +10 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating and further upgraded for +20 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating.

### Graves

Graves are an integral part of the game. Your first source of income in the game is Plantilla:Items. They are obtained by burying or cremating corpses, and can be sold to Horadric at The Dead Horse for 1 50.

Graves also have a positive or negative effect on the Plantilla:Graveyard Rating rating, based on the Plantilla:Item quality and grave decorations. As the maximum benefit for tombstones is +7 Plantilla:Grave Decor and fences is +5 Plantilla:Grave Decor, no grave can have a rating higher than +12 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating, even if the Plantilla:Item has more than 12 . (with the Game of Crone DLC the maximum benefit for tombstones is increased to +9 Plantilla:Grave Decor and for fences to +7 Plantilla:Grave Decor resulting in a possible max. of 16Plantilla:Grave Decor.)

Grave sites have no effect on Plantilla:Graveyard Rating when placed or "planned" with the blueprint desk located in the graveyard. After being dug out for burial, the grave has a -2 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating effect on quality.

#### Grave Maintenance

Graves will fall into disrepair over time. This is made apparent during the tutorial when you are shown how to repair grave decorations. Grave decorations that have deteriorated will provide less Plantilla:Graveyard Rating which in turn will provide you with less income.

#### Tombstones

As noted in the corpses section, the maximum Plantilla:Graveyard Rating benefit of a grave cannot exceed the number of of the corpse buried there.

#### Fences

As with tombstones, a grave quality is only as good as the corpse in the grave.

### Maximum Rating

The following table shows (without the DLC's Game of Crone or Better Save Soul) how to achieve a maximum graveyard rating (top/north to bottom/south and west/left to east/right). Instead of a lantern, a stone prayer station can be used for the same amount of Plantilla:Graveyard Rating. The 2x4 lawns can be replaced by marble flagstones.

In total that's

* 160 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating Plantilla:Item
* 1008 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating Plantilla:Item
* 36 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating Plantilla:Item or Plantilla:Item
* 29 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating Plantilla:Item or Plantilla:Item plus Plantilla:Item
* 20 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating Plantilla:Item
* 5 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating 1x Statue of the Bishop

adding up to 1258 Plantilla:Graveyard Rating, which seems to be the absolute maximum. Feel free to find a better solution. (Layout: https://imgur.com/a/kTP1pef)

edit: after version 1.3 a grave can have up to 16 quality, meaning new absolute maximum is 1594. (based on above layout: https://imgur.com/p5BKek1)

edit: With the new grave decorations and body part modification system in the DLCs the maximum score for a simple grave is now 26Plantilla:Graveyard Rating. A perfect corpse of 26Plantilla:White Skull with marble grave fence VIII and marble sculpture VI. With that in mind using any columbariums reduces your graveyard score since they only provide 20Plantilla:Graveyard Rating. The layout linked above can still be used, replacing any columbariums with graves and in some spots additional lawns/marble flagstones. You'll have more empty spaces in the end but a higher score.

## Graveyard Expansion

In the beginning, the west half of the graveyard is locked. The sign there tells you to speak to the Inquisitor about this. Once you have earned 20 Plantilla:Happiness with him, he hands you (or sells) a Plantilla:Item. Return to the graveyard and use it there at the sign.

The west half is quite overgrown with a lot of shrubs and big trees. You'll need the "Woodcutter" technology to get rid of the trees. You won't get any negative Plantilla:Graveyard Rating from it, but you won't be able to build anything without clearing the area first.

## Royal Services

Once you are a preacher, you gain access to the Royal services box located outside the front door of the church. It is through this box that you interact with the bureaucratic system behind the throne.

You upgrade citizen titles by spending money on the Crown. Each title costs you a certain amount of money, but grants you access to a number of items you'll need to advance certain quests.

### Exhumation Permission

Corpse exhumation is only needed when a badly autopsied corpse is negatively impacting your Plantilla:Graveyard Rating. To exhume a corpse, buy an Plantilla:Item from the church box. After you have removed the fence and the gravestone, you may select "exhume" and dig up the body.

**Note:** These cost 1 75, which is 25 more than what you are paid for the Plantilla:Item. You will earn much of the money back if you bury it again (after autopsy) or if you cremate it. So, overall it's a small loss for exhumation.

### Aristocrat
