Graveyard Keeper 2 Incense

Updated 2026-10-09 · Searched as “graveyard keeper 2 incense”

Short answer

Version 1.009 has two incense items, both made at the Formulation Bench: Simple Incense (1 Melted Fat + 1 Fragrance) and Fancy Incense (1 Melted Fat + 1 Fragrance + 1 Dream Dust). Their job is church quality: Church Smells I takes 3 Simple Incense for +1, and Church Smells II and III take 3 Fancy Incense each for +5 and +10. Searching for "exotic incense"? No item by that name is listed — Fancy Incense is the high tier.

The keeper stands among gravestones on an autumn path below the church entrance.

Why church quality matters

Church quality caps how many parishioners attend a sermon, and stronger prayers will not start below their minimum.

Together the three Smells upgrades add 16 church quality — every point is one more seat, as long as your Likes keep up. Our prayers guide lists what each prayer needs.
