Curse

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Description

Curse is a harmful status effect that inflicts a number of bad effects until it wears off or is removed. Afflicted characters have their maximum HP, MP, and Movement Speed reduced. The amount reduced varies depending on the source of the curse.

Caution is advised when afflicted with curse while in an area with undead enemies, as the removal of curse can drop your HP percentage low enough to the point where such enemies will become aggressive and attack.

How to remove the effect

• The White Magic spell Cursna will remove this effect.
• Using a vial of Holy Water will remove this effect.
