Well if you identfy the gear you would know that its cursed...it would say so...but i can understand that a slip of the mouse might case you to wear it....

I am sure some healers and a few mages will offer to lift the curse...for a few of corse..maybe one of those healers will only render their services to you if you complete a specifc quest.

E.g you talk around to the common folk and they say Azbel...hes a realy good healer and some say that he can lift curses and sell the best magical stuff..but you need to be is friend...i hear hes looking for someone to get him a really rare gem.

Now my other idea was this:

Since the release of the new screenshot..im guessng that the divine world as changed....so please use your imagnation when consderng ths idea

Assume everythng in Rivellon is the same unless otherwise mentioned.

Ok you start off again in Aleroth...imagine you are at the north wall of aleroth.
Its not a fence anymore but a wall...but there is a opening between a row of trees which you emerge( but is off-limits..i.e you cant go there)
The east,south and west of Aleroth are also walls but do have one opening in them whereby there is one guard wanderng around for each opening...on the east opening there is a small house where the soldiers live.

The remaining houses are still intact and one of them is a small inn,2 healers,one weapons shop,a mage and the rest are families living there.
The dungeons are still there but only have 3 levels...the deeper dungoens have caved in..following paladins entering and combating some sort of evil.

When you speak to the townsfolk the mention some sort of slaughter by paladins because of some rock which made them evil...also that there was some sort of resergence of evil in the dungeons and therefore the paladins went down there...only a few came back...but they seemed confident that the evil has gone forever.
Outside Aleroth the south and the east are mostly light wooded areas.Indeed to the east before there was dense woods which could not be trespassed upon..but now the area has become lighter and is also crawling with enemies and woodland creatures..
To the very east of these woods near both the north and south egdes of the boundaries...you will find a evil witch and a huge ogre...quite a chalenge for the young adventurer!!!

Very south of Aleroth..near the brigde...you will find an old cave which is infested with bandits..the cave isnt as dark and stinky as the trolls had lived there but quite habitable...and clean.

Further South....and you will find dead tress and also a cemetary..were some undead will make you feel most unwelcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

Tragic
