Description

Discover altars older than times long forgotten and suffer ancient curses for lucrative rewards. Acquire gems and socket them into your new amulet and gear to fight back against the curses! 

Cursed Altar: These altars spawn in the wild, right-click them to receive their curse, but beware that some curses are much deadlier. Completing a curse's trial will spawn a portal back to the altar allowing you to reap rewards off a configurable loot table. Each altar also gives one gem of Broken, Polished, or Perfect quality, with a rare chance of tougher altars giving you an Ancient Gem with game-changing and quality-of-life effects.

If you complete a Cursed Altar's trial...

Interact with the altar and its cursed energy manifests into loot, everyone's favorite. The altar then becomes dormant and you may use its mysterious energies to fuse lesser gems into more powerful ones, place 3 like gems into the altar, interact with it, and watch as the altar fuses them. 3 broken gems become a polished gem, and 3 polished gems become a perfect gem.

Ancient gems can only be obtained from completing the highest tier of trial from a cursed altar.

Be careful though... dying releases your soul back into the world and lets the altars feast on it and may have undue consequences...
