Perks

Perks are a large assortment of passive abilities that the player obtains as they descend deeper into the mountain, augmenting the player and their abilities in many ways.

A set of three perks are offered on an altar at the end of each Holy Mountain that the player visits. Upon selecting one, the other two perks disappear.

Perk Rerolling
Perks can be rerolled using the 'perk reroll' structure - resembling a set of weighing scales - located at the exit of the Holy Mountain. This replaces any perks on the altar with a new draw from the pool.

The perk reroll initially costs and will double in price every use (,, , and so on). Rerolling only affects perks that are currently on the altar and will not spawn new perks if a perk has already been taken. Rerolling will pull from the entire pool of perks, allowing for the possibility of collecting multiple instances of the same perk, aka perk stacking.

Rerolling will not affect the price of previously visited holy mountains; rerolling once raises the price from to, but the price of all previously visited holy mountains remains. For example:


 * 1) Player has visited two holy mountains (A and B) without claiming a perk. Both holy mountains start at a reroll cost of.
 * 2) Player then rerolls perks in B for  (cost in B goes up to ).
 * 3) Player then goes back to A and is able to reroll for  (cost in A goes up to, but the cost in B remains at ).

There are various complexities to the local economy, including that it is only possible for a denizen to possess $2.15 billion (23 rerolls). However, there are also ways to circumvent some of them.

Perk Stacking
Many of the perks in Noita, including essences, can be repeatedly stacked by means of going to Parallel Worlds or making use of the reroll altar.Unstackable perks will be removed from the perk pool when picked. Same type of damage immunity perks will not stack as well.(e.g. Oil Blood,Fire immunity)

The effects of stacking varies greatly: For perks such as the essences or Electricity, stacking means adding extra fire rate to the perk. Perks such as Lukki Mutation and Permanent Shield will grant additional length or a copy. Perks such as Stainless Armour and Perk Lottery will logarithmically get more effective, while perks such as Gold Is Forever will have no stacking effect. The full list of stacking effects is yet to be determined.

Special Perks
These perks are special in that they cannot be found in Holy Mountains, because they are hidden elsewhere.

Essences
The Essences are special perks that are not in the normal perk rotation, and instead only spawn in specific locations on the map. Seeking and handling Essences can be quite dangerous.
