Purify Curse?

[Star Paladin]

I took Purify Curse for my Cleric on my last level up. Gaulen got a curse, OH BOY, no more curses for me. Free curse removal. It does not work. The spell does nothing. :/

Wha???

[Kordanor]

Hrm, works for me. Though it has a second spell level which apparently does nothing but incrase the mana costs.

[Dorok]

There's no curse level? That would explain both it could not work if the curse level is too high and and why there's more than one level.

[Kordanor]

I was able to remove all curses with the lvl 1 spell till now. Not been to the islands and Vilak yet.

[Dorok]

I wonder about this design element, it's not bad, it's just that in practice in first parts it generates too many come back to get uncursed or disease cured. It's missing a management element before a character can learn the spell or even if a party doesn't get the spell.

Ok there's items doing the job, but for the price it's non sense with the game ballance, at least during first parts. The game could have implemented cheaper cure through a mechanism like for food and rest, the spell would be more for combats.

[Kordanor]

Totally agree. Ran around with these curses (2-3 for each frontline guy) till I got the spell.
So for me it was just a flat stat boost which looks like a missed opportunity.

There are minor and major curses, so I guess you need a higher lvl remove curse for a major one.

[SunnyRay]

That's true, level 1 spell removes minor curses, level 2 spell removes all curses. I remember seeing this in spell description.

I used level 1 spell multiple times thinking it is removing one curse on every cast, then I read description :)

[Kordanor]

So where to you get these major curses from you are talking about?

[SunnyRay]

According to bestiary book ancient cursed hounds and royal mummies produce them.

[MochiiKing]

Curses cost way too much to cure in the start of the game.

I think its a flaw, anything to make the early game harder should be tweaked. I bet more than a few people tried this game but got turned off because of how hard the early game is.

[Star Paladin]

It was a major curse (and so, a major pain), so I just had the Priestess remove it (for 1.5k). They need to have that spell appear far earlier in the game imo.

some greedy priestess she is...
