Question and evidence dateWhat the source establishesLimits and next step
Venomed: the official FAQ also lists Cleansing Waters

Official FAQ clarification · 2026-08-21 UTC · edited 2026-09-02

The Game Mechanics FAQ explicitly lists Antidote or a mage's Cleansing Waters for Venomed. That supports the spell as a treatment route; it should not be described as wholly unverified. Antidote's current card also lists removal of Venomed, Dazed, Weakness and Blindness, plus 15 Health and 5 Stamina.

The FAQ does not specify normal versus Critical casting. The Trello Critical text names Venomed but links to Bleed. The healing tool therefore marks the spell's Venomed route as partial for a selected cast, rather than guaranteeing removal on either variant. Deepwound and Infection removal are explicitly Critical-only in the spell card.

Current player questions

Supply decisions: Antidote batches, shields and Living Bark

Read the recipe yield, defensive action cost and competing material uses separately. A listed price is not proof of stock, and a material's uses are not a complete farming route.

Player questionPublished answerRisk and next step
Why does Living Bark say it makes Vorant-Style Grilled Meat, but the recipe contains no Bark?

WIP checked 2026-09-10T07:21:27.171760+00:00

The current sources disagree. Living Bark lists Vorant-Style Grilled Meat as a use. The food card instead lists 1 Vegetable Oil, 1 Apple, 5 Wheat and 2 Zarzaberry—exactly the ingredient list on Fruit Cake's card. The two foods still list different recovery and status effects.

This could be a documentation mistake, but the source does not identify which card is wrong. Check the actual crafting menu before spending ingredients. Do not invent a corrected meat recipe, add Bark or Raw Meat yourself, or treat the matching lists as a confirmed shared recipe.

Compare the disputed recipe with the material card →
What does one use do?

The card lists removal of Venomed, Dazed, Weakness and Blindness, plus 15 Health and 5 Stamina.

It does not list Deepwound or Infection removal. Use the condition-specific treatment instead.

Match the condition to a published treatment →
What do I need to obtain it?

The published recipe is one Healing Elixir plus one Eye of the Night, with 'Makes 3'. The same card lists a town price of 25 silver.

The placement of 'Makes 3' does not separately confirm that a 25-silver purchase supplies three. Do not use that assumption for a crafting-versus-buying unit-price calculation.

Plan silver and copper costs separately →
Wooden Shield or Iron Shield: what changes besides Posture?

Both cards list 3 silver. Wooden Shield lists Max Posture +4, Speed −0.10 and Block Reduction +10%; Iron Shield lists +6, −0.20 and +20%. Both list Bash for 2 Stamina with a 1-turn cooldown and Dazed +2, plus Fortify for 2 Stamina with a 5-turn cooldown and Fortified +5.

The same listed price does not prove both are in stock. Higher Posture and block reduction do not make unblockable attacks blockable. Cooldowns still follow the official side-switch rule.

Check when to block and when defensive rules override the shield →
What should I compare before spending Living Bark?

The material card names Aggrovant as its source and lists uses in Vorant Mask, Vorant Plate, Dryadkin Stew and Vorant-Style Grilled Meat. The Mask requires 4 Bark; the Plate requires 15 Bark plus 1 Emerald.

The material use list conflicts with Vorant-Style Grilled Meat's recipe, which contains no Bark and repeats Fruit Cake's ingredients. Treat that use as disputed. The new enemy drop labels do not establish an optimal farming route.

Prepare for Aggrovant before seeking Living Bark →
Minivorant or Aggrovant for Living Bark and Dryadkin Moss?

WIP checked 2026-09-10T01:32:37.446Z

Minivorant's new drop section lists Living Bark 2–5 and Dryadkin Moss 0–3, each labeled 100%. Aggrovant lists Living Bark 5–10 and Moss 0–6, also labeled 100%. The Living Bark item lists uses in Vorant Mask, Vorant Plate, Dryadkin Stew and Vorant-Style Grilled Meat.

A 100% label beside a zero minimum does not establish a guaranteed positive Moss quantity. Larger listed quantities do not prove a faster or safer farm: encounter frequency, run time and the quantity-roll rule are not provided.

Check Aggrovant's Cave-tile note and attack cues →
Where do the new Rag and Bone Shard labels point?

WIP checked 2026-09-10T01:32:37.446Z

Undead Warrior and Abigail list Bone Shard 1–3 at 90%; Carcass uses the spelling Boneshard with the same range and label. Dust and Carnage list Rag 1–3 at 90%, while the four bandits list Rag 0–3 at 45%.

A material drop is not a complete farming route. Boss hazards differ: Carcass consumes Bleed to heal, Carnage can sever an arm or shatter a chestplate, and Dust threatens helmets. Do not equate a larger percentage with the safest encounter.
