How to Get Sins in The Veil
Sins are the chaotic alignment currency — the gate for evil-aligned classes and PvP-intent players.
Quick answer: Sins come from chaotic play, most directly from killing other players. The community's fastest verified method is farming the Idol of Hatreds in the Weeping Crypt's cave (behind a bookshelf), server-hopping to repeat the loot, or trading kills with a friend of a different prestige tier. Classes gated by Sins: Gladiator, Duskwing, Hive Disciple and Cultist.
What Sins are for
- Sins are the chaotic alignment currency. They gate the evil-aligned classes — Gladiator, Duskwing, Hive Disciple and Cultist each cost 30 Sins.
- Killing players generates Sins but also makes some NPCs refuse to interact with you.
- Sins wash off at a shrine if you want back into the orderly side of the world (Offerings).
Verified farming methods
- Idol of Hatreds farm: a farmable item in a secret spot behind a bookshelf in the Weeping Crypt's cave, plus server-hopping to repeat the loot (creator-documented).
- Mutual-kill grind: alternate kills with a friend of a different prestige tier to stack Sins (creator-documented as efficient), picking up bounties for Offerings along the way.
- General PvP: outlaws and PvP kills outside the safe zone generate Sins; outlaws specifically hunt prestige carriers, so carry value into the maze at your own risk.
PvP rules you should know
PvP is off by default and toggled inside spawn town — the only safe zone. That toggle does not protect you outside town: once you leave, others can attack you regardless of your setting. Killing players generates Sins; dying to them can cost you prestige. The developers flagged PvP polish as the next patch focus after launch.
