I searched for an answer to this but the results didn't give me the answer I was looking for. In fact it didn't give me anywhere near what I searched for.

Anyway, what I needed to know was how to get a master devotee when all blue heathens have been converted? I tried assigning someone to polish the statue but it didn't increase the person's devotion skills. And I tried to get someone to honor but it just said they were confused and walked away.
So I thought I'd put them with a master devotee but that didn't work either. So what are you supposed to do to get a master in devotion?

I typed the word devotion in the search box, clicked Go, and got these two topics:

Devotion skills

How do I train my villagers in devotion? No heathens left!

I typed devotion and got runners, heathen chief, and builders.
Sorry, for posting this.

It's perfectly fine to post when you're having problems finding answers. I just like to help people come up with effective searches, so they can find what they need faster.

So how do I get the master devotees to teach the trainees?
All construction is done. If I put trainees on the statue they just polish it. And their status says untrained.

I assigned the retired chief to teach in the nursery but he has the attention span of a gnat. He won't stay in the nursery. He's worse than a two year old.

I'm at a loss. This is the first VV game I have played.
I've played VF. But that's a different game.

Unfortunately, at the point in the game where you're at, the only way to build devotion skill in villagers who have none is to It can help to leave your game off while this is happening, since the villagers aren't distracted by laundry and other non-productive things when the game is off.

2 ways to get devotion is getting Island Event

Events are very unpredictable, and many players will never see certain events. That's why I don't typically suggest those as a means of attaining goals, although they are a nice boon when they happen.

I got the event about the broken mask and the heathen wearing a bag over his head. That gave a child devotion skills.
But she's still a child.

I actually got a event very soon after I started the game where the kid found a lost toy, so I had him return it. He gained devotion skill from that.

The kid won't be able to use the skill until they turn 14.
