Offering Pool

The **Offering Pool** is an interactive object found in various rooms within the Forest.

## Usage

The Offering Pool has a 70% chance of spawning and each room can only contain up to one of this object, though it can spawn in multiple rooms in the same floor, with a maximum of 2 per floor. All of them share their functionality.

While in combat, they act like other half-height objects, such that they can block movement and melee attacks (either by players or enemies) but not projectiles.

After clearing the room, the player can interact with the pool and sacrifice their weapons, with each of them turning into a certain amount of points according to their rarity:

* White/Common: 2
* Green/Uncommon: 3
* Blue/Rare: 5
* Purple/Very Rare: 9
* Orange/Epic: 10
* Red/Legendary: 12
* Magenta/Mythical: 12

Each Offering Pool can be used as many times as possible. There is a bar above the pool to indicate how many points have been collected. If the player attempts to sacrifice their only wielded weapon, they will be warned with a note.

If the player has provided 12 or more points, or if the 1-5 boss has already been defeated, it stops accepting items. If the player succeeds in getting Offering Pool to 12 points or more before fighting the boss in 1-5, the Goblin Priest (Haunted) will appear as a boss in 1-5. This method is required to access the Swamp biome.

* If the pool is filled to full at 1-5 (before fighting the boss), the boss room will be replaced with the one for Goblin Priest (Haunted) immediately.

The Whistle & Devotee of Peace cannot be sacrificed.

The Offering Pool can also be used as a fishing spot. Each individual Offering Pool can be used once.

## Quotes

* Interaction when vacant:

"*Nourish the lord with your weapons.*"
* Sacrificing a weapon:

"*Such an honor has been bestowed on you!*"
* No weapon:

"*The lord does not welcome the bare-handed!*"
* Full:

"*The lord has beckoned on you. You may now pay your respects...*"
## Tips

* When trying to access the Swamp, try to only keep the weapons that are really needed. It is likely that six common weapons (or just any six weapons) will be acquired before 1-5.
* A Pill room can completely fill the pool.

## Trivia

* The pool has a totem inside. Said totem seems to have a dagger stabbed above.
	+ When throwing weapons inside, the amount of points can be seen as glowing orbs being consumed by the pool.
* This object is exclusive to level mode.
* When first added in Update 3.0.0, there was a typo in the bare-hand reaction which was "...welcome the bare**d**-handed!"
* When playing as Costume Prince, it's possible to sacrifice the Magic Gloves he has when he transforms into Slime King. This disables the default attacks unique to this form & switches the weapon to the last one used.
* The progress bar of weapon points was added in Update 3.1.0.
	+ Also since same update, trying to sacrifice the only one weapon at hand will cause the character to respond "You have only one weapon. Do you want to sacrifice it?" before doing so.
	+ One more change in this update, some weapons can no longer be sacrificed. Trying to put these weapons (like Whistle) will cause the character to respond "The weapon is not imbued with the power that the lord desires." instead.
		- Later in Update 4.0.0 where fishing rods are no longer weapons, trying to throw them will respond "This is not a weapon." This also applies to Officer's Devotee of Peace, but not Costume Prince's Magic Gloves, strangely enough.
