[[User:t3h_flamee]] tested recovery from 0 pop while having [[The Altar of Blood]] on BETA (forum thread?)
 
−
* I wasn't researched yet when I had the altar zero my pop (by accident, didn't watch my pop).
 
−
* What I did was build 500 nodes, and cast [[Locate Artifact|LA]] nonstop, with around 1k guilds. Damage surfing. That got me enough items to sell to not die of geld problems, and even buy some BoPs in the meantime. Later on I could even afford Wines, as the item income was more stable.
 
−
* [[Pillage|Pillaging]] for recovery is not effective. IF you're UNGODLY lucky, and manage a streak of 40 10k pop pillages, you might end up with like 60k pop , coz altar takes near 4800 per turn, and then as you gain some minor pop the income starts growing. The point of stability in my case was around 300k pop, when income=upkeep.
 
−
* Recovery started with 44 BoP and 20 wines. Used all 44 books, got like ...150k pop, and then used 8 wines. I'm on 350k pop now. I'm safe, for now. Edited in for clarification. Books gave me around 8k pop each.
 
−
* {{white}} mages might have an easier time recovering from the popspiral than in the example above. Oncolor LA and skill would be quite handy in that.
 
−
* Nature favor helps.
 
−
* As a white mage with LA 5 and Nature favor, I used 40 books and got to 219k pop, just enough for positive pop income.  Then I topped off with a few wines.  I could have done it with only 30 books and a few wines,  I think.  [[User:Carltsai|Carltsai]] 15:34, 7 September 2008 (CEST)
