World Blessings And Curses

Blessings/curses are buffs and debuffs that can be found on Ponoglyphs ( walls of cracked stone brick ) in dungeons .



What are blessings and how can I find them ? Blessings can be found on Ponoglyphs in many dungeons and ruins , within each Ponoglyph that contains a blessings a golden block will be in the middle of it. When you right click the golden block you open up a 5x5 chest menu with a Emerald block on the left in the middle and a red stone block on the right in the middle , in the middle of the 2 blocks a diamond block with the details of the blessing. You may only hold one blessing at a time so if you already had a blessing activated it would be deactivated when activating the current one .




List of a few possible blessings

Blessing of might - +1 strength
Kissed by fire blessing - +15% fire resistance
Born in the sea blessing - +15% water resistance
Blessing of the undead - do 15% more damage to undead mobs with a 25% more likeliness to crit




What are curses ? Curses are found in Ponoglyphs with a red stone block in the middle and can be found in a dungeon , the difference between blessings and curses are that instead of a buff you receive a debuff, now you may be asking , why would I purposely get a debuff ? Well in exchange of getting a curse you receive a legendary or higher weapon / armor ( each weapon will be dependent on the class of the player but the buffs are simmilar ). Each curse can be healed by a healing npc but will be very expensive upwards to 50eb and up


List of some possible curses

Curse of the straw man - -50% fire resistance
Curse of the weak - -1 strength
Curse of the sea - -50 water resistance
Curse of the undead - -20% damage done to undead mobs

 

Nice!
10 char :(

 

this kinda sounds like another accessory slot that is only unlocked if you raid dungeons.

 

it's not like dungeons are hard.

 

Great Idea! I would totally love this mechanic

yeah, but for higher levels, these basically become useless.

 

I think this is a cool idea, but maybe if you get a 50% chance of receiving a random curse or blessing as it doesn't really make too much sense to choose to be cursed or blessed. Also, is there a specific timer or a limit for how many times you can use a Ponoglyph? If you could speed run through a dungeon to get that same Ponoglyph again and again just to get more good items from curses and also get the blessing that you want, the system would be easily abused. This is why I'm suggesting a timer (maybe something like 24 hours after each use? Idk?) or a number of times that you can use one Ponoglyph. Btw, do the curses' effects stack or are they like the blessings? Sorry for making you read this really long paragraph, but I really like this idea!

 

Forgot to mention you may only receive the curse items once and blessings are like standing stones from skyrim like I said only one can be activated at a time
