Is that really it? Put it on, bless character, it goes back in inventory - quest line closed: no xp, nothing.

The first time I tried it, I dropped the ring on the ground, blessed it, but no change.

Sometimes, despite what the curse describes it does, there are no changes to my accuracy, dodging, and resistance stats. One time I briefly saw red numbers, meaning the curse was active, but I was flipping pages and when I went back all was well again - with ring still equipped.

The visual signs of that character being cursed are there, but not in the stats. Very buggy, not sure which to go by ... its a nice ring for a mage.

I just updated to the 909 hotfix, not sure if that fixes it though ... according to the very short changelog there's no mention of it.


Just wondering if anyone else had a different experience with this.
Nevermind, found out why I needed the ring.

Weird to even be in your questlog though, since it isn't a quest. Still bugged though, like above, wearing it doesn't affect my stats - though it should as it says "Cursed - permanent status".

Yes, generally, if something isn't immediately apparent it will be made apparent at a later time--it's not a "bug," but rather it's because of the game being non-linear in some respects...;)

is there anywhere else the ring is needed past the first Act?

The bug isn't what you can use the ring for.

The bug I mention is that when you view it you see exactly what the curse does to your stats if you wear it - but when wearing it, I briefly saw the red stats (negative effects), changed a page in my character sheet, and they were all back to normal. After that I kept going to different things (inventory, equip screen, etc) but every time I went back to my stats they were unharmed.

My character still had the hunched over cursed appearance, but the stats were normal. So, I don't know if the bug is that the curse doesn't work, or if they do but I can't tell because my stats page is wrong. Thats the bug I was referring to.

I'm holding onto it, but I'm not far enough to answer.

I looked this up elsewhere (after finding out what you can use it for) because of the weird stat bug while having it equipped as I mentioned above, and in one of the comments there someone mentioned when they unequipped it they got a log message saying "Maybe you can use this on someone else" or something like that - but I never got that message ... either I removed it differently (I assumed "bless" was the only way), or one of the last couple hotfixes changed the log for it.

But it is a relic of Braccus, so I'm going to hang onto it just in case.
