BSK1 - Socket Gems Curse

Post by Capt Cliff »

Socket gems are now unusable. The newer dropped gems will give and message the "Shalnath Curses You" when you try to use them. That's on armor or weapon. The older dropped gems do work ok but new ones are unusable.

It really depends on how you acquired them. In any event, it will happen a lot less after the reset.

I got 14 out of 15 cursed!! Basically ever one I got from the ants to Marvale and underdark. What do I do with them ... trash can?

Oh, perhaps having them turn red for being unusable would be nice. Then you can tell which are good and which are bad.

An does this curse apply to forge stones too?

I see now that it's not the socket gem that is cursed but the attempt to use it.

I think it is just you Cappy.

This may also explain the rate at which they are falling. Does remove curse spell work?
