• Pilgrims' Peril

News and Notes:

The Deck of Many Curses

• Collect cards to make Decks, then use those decks to apply mysterious Curses to your equipment! Cards from the Deck of Many Curses can appear in end chests throughout Update 63's Illithid Invasion quests.
• Once you have enough cards, click on a card to open a UI that allows you to turn 12 of each card type into a Deck!
• Cards are unbound, and Decks are Bound to Account.
• Click on a Deck to open a UI that allows you to add a random effect to an item of your choice! The item must be unequipped.
• Adding a Deck effect to your item does not impact its minimum level or ability to be equipped.
• A special Card of Curse Cleansing can appear very rarely in almost any chest throughout the game! This card removes an applied Curse from the Deck of Many Curses to an item, allowing the item to receive another Deck effect.
• Deck effects cannot be placed onto Cosmetics, Wands, Scrolls, Quivers, or Ammunition.
