Mercury — Romestead worship guide: unlocks, offerings & favours

How to discover Mercury

To reveal Mercury, sacrifice Mercury's associated items at an altar: cargo, trade goods and roots — Mercury, god of commerce, rewards the things you haul and sell. Worshipping first requires Minerva's Worshipping the Gods step, which opens the altar. Once revealed, every offering you make earns Mercury worship points to spend in the tree below.
