Please give the perrenial altar some buffs

[WenericMember]

Yes I know people are sick of Wendy changes, but since being added the Perennial Altar has just being a slightly cheaper meat effigy.

For a tier three skill, this is incredibly weak, and if nothing else in the tree, I'd really love to see it buffed, as it's one of the most aesthetically pretty Items in the game.

Personally, I'd suggest allowing the player to choose between reviving at the spot they died, or back at base, while nerfing the cost to be more expensive. This would give it a fair bit more utility over the standard Effigy, by giving more options than other revival methods.

Would it be too good if it allowed Wendy to keep her items after dying like Winona? You could use it like a teleport and it *would* encourage you to die to make skeletons like Klei seems to want you to do. Maybe if it was more expensive?

That's another way of balancing it, but I imagine it might be hard to implement. Winona can keep her items because it's instant, with no choice in the matter. If you die with the perrenial altar, then revive using another method, I just don't know how they'd handle it.

Similar to how Winona's telebrella works maybe? You bring with you the items on your surroundings.

Another minor way to buff it could be Abigail not loosing her level and elixir effects due to Wendy's death (and loose them if Abigail herself dies, no changes here). Considering revival animation where it's Abigail who helps Wendy it would make sence lore-wise as well. 

Active perennial altar could also prevent Abigail from "dying" when Wendy turns into monkey and back. So Wonkey-Wendy would still be unable to use Abigail as intended, but upon switching back to Wendy Abigail would not be reset to level one and loose all potion effects.

I think also buffing it so you respawn with Abigail's flower in your inventory would be nice at the very least too.

Perhaps it could be allowed to teleport the Abigail's Flower, Picnic Casket, and Wreath to Wendy during the resurrection. As long as you have these three, you have complete confidence in bringing back the other items that were lost at the place of death.

And exclusive items for other characters.
