Advice for new players: Devotionals

As a new player there are 2 devotionals that will effect you far more noticably than higher level players.

Find a player owned town with a white pillar of light comming from the center on the overworld map.

Look in that town for some shrines with shallow pools in front of them. Look for Sacrifice (the crying eye) and Honor (the chalice cup) .

Jump into the water at these two shrines and you will recieve 8 hour buffs that greatly improve your health and focus regen. If your a newbie mage it is especially helpful.
