Stamps: how to get them and which Church upgrades to buy

Stamps are the Church’s permanent currency. You earn them by handing NPCs the items their quests ask for, and occasionally from enemy drops; you never lose them on death. Spend them with Arthur on the Church’s first floor, who opens after you beat the Goblin Cousin. Buy the Baptismal Font and some storage first; the shop-refresh upgrades pay off later.

Getting Stamps

Each Congregation member and several field vendors give one turn-in quest at a time: bring one to five of an item, receive Stamps scaled to how hard the items are to get. Finishing a quest offers a new one. The Quest Log on the right of the inventory (new in 1.0) tracks what each person wants.

Who	Asks for	Why it is quick
Skrip (Caves goblin trader)	Cheese and cheese dishes	Cheese is cooked from milk; cheeseburgers and fondue follow
Grossberg (butcher, from the Town on)	Meat and organs	Shoot enemies for organs, or use Scroll of Toxic Lobotomy
Gravedigger	Cheap food: beans, butter, stew, porridge, sticks, rocks	Caves ingredients
Ralphie	Repair and food items: air duster, dish soap, cotton swabs, burgers	Sewers loot
Kevin the Scholar	Reagents: herbs, kidney stones, sawdust, Swing-Ding	Swing-Ding grows in the Forest

If a request needs an item from an area you have not reached, finish an easier quest elsewhere and come back; after completing a quest, the yellow square rolls the next request.

Arthur’s upgrades

Upgrade	Stamps	What it does
Wall frames (three kinds)	5 each	Display one item. Decoration only
Baptismal Font	10	Removes all oils and scrolls from a gun; fee starts at 50 SULF and rises
Bulk Ammo Box	10	Ammo in bulk at a lower price
Snake Basket	10	Storage, 8 × 12
Toilet	18	Storage shared with toilets found in Forest and Desert events
Coffin	20	Storage by your respawn grave
Gun Cabinet	25	Storage, 9 × 13
Chrismatory	30	Rerolls an oil; fee starts at 100 SULF and rises
Target Dummies	30	Practice targets
Delivery Demon	35	A DH ’Ell Guy refreshes every Congregation shop
Holoreality Projector	50	Projects a random vendor you have met into the Church

Arthur also resets the rising fees of the Baptismal Font, Chrismatory and Telia’s Replicator for 5 Stamps. Stamps can rotate a Church vendor’s stock too.

Free storage

Three storage units cost nothing but a trip: the Suitcase (10 × 6) drops from the Goblin Cousin, the Refrigerator sits in a Sewers secret room at the end of a flooded tunnel (bring Diving Mask, fins or Extra Lungs), and the Chest of Drawers can be found in the Castle. Carry them home and they move into the Church.

Buying order

1. Baptismal Font (10). Without it, a bad oil stays on a gun until you sell the gun.
2. Storage (Snake Basket, Coffin, Gun Cabinet) as the stash fills with spare guns and ingredients.
3. Chrismatory (30) once you have guns worth tuning.
4. Delivery Demon (35) or Holoreality Projector (50). The Projector brings a field vendor such as Fex Shuen or Grossberg to the Church, which Chinese stamp-farming guides buy first because it shortens quest chains; the Delivery Demon restocks the Church shops between runs.
5. Wall frames last. Players who bought them first because they were cheap regretted it.

Room Decorator and House Decorator need 5 and 10 Church upgrades. Patch 1.0.1 fixed these achievements triggering when they should not.
