something has changed with corrupting staves. anyone know what?
With a powerful magical gesture, and uttering ancient words of power, you draw
upon the corrupting influence of the servants of Morgoth.
In response, a strange black aura begins to form around the staff...
Wind narrates 'wow, grushk apologized for something'


Saving Blackfoot.

You feel less protected.

You try to channel the powers of darkness into the staff, which seems to
resist with every ounce of its strength.
Suddenly you scream, as painful arcs of lightning jump back and forth between
the altar, the staff and you.

The contest of will between you and the staff slowly continues.
Time passes by, as the target of your malevolence grows weaker and weaker...
...until it can no longer resist and is corrupted to its heart.


The aura around a carved oak staff becomes red, and then it fades.
You feel tired and your mind is empty for a while...

It's that last part where the curse is removed that i put on the staff (on thorough).  curse is pretty low %, so maybe it is not high enough % to do corrupt on puke staff anymore?

Just recorrupt it, you failed to corrupt, happens sometimes. % of curse don't matter, if you cursed it you can still fail, just recurse it.

I noticed recently it seems hard to dispel items/etc, if this is true perhaps its also harder now to remove curses.

deva i have corrupted staffs before. this question is posed to people who have actually done this recently, which i dont think means you. the part where it says it gets weaker, and weaker....used to mean that your were successful. if you failed to corrupt, that msg would not be there, in the past. now it keeps it but i still fail, and it has added the last part about the red glow of the curse faded - and i have to re-curse it - this is a new feature..and i have tried 8 times or so and keep failing

I think deva is right coz ya can fail also if theres msg it can no longer...
blackfoot2001-10-17 15:29:34
that made no sense. what do you mean? obviously i am failing, but the question is why? i am getting the message that USED TO mean it wa successful, but then it says the curse fades off the staff. which seems to me to mean the curse was not strong enough or something.

yeah i dunno , i had soem trouble corrupting some staves for mammoth other day. seems to work if u try a fe times tho (damn DAMN boring to try it a few times tho as takes an age and u need ppl 2 guard ya) *yawn* , also i found the 3d msg came up and still i failed it SPIT

well there's also the fact that their artifacts too, and limited as to how many
can be in the game at once. Awhile back when Nazgum and I were hoarding um, we
ended up having them all, and wouldn't let us corrupt more til we used some:P
Perhaps the number has decreased?
