View Full Version : Counteract Poison/Disease Don't Work

I've had two instances now, where neither of these spells seem to function at all.

The spiders in crystal caverns apply a velium poison, I tried to cure my monk friend of this poison with Counteract Poison, 5, 6, 7 casts in a row--nothing. At least this has no real info on it so maybe it has 60+ poison counters, who knows, but weird.

Now we're in solb, lots of shaman mobs, he gets slowed with Tagar's Insects, should have 9 counters. Counteract disease should remove 8 counters, so two casts. 5 casts in, nothing.

Maybe I'm just unlucky and these spells can't be handled with these spells, but it sure sounds like they should.

Supposedly they remove 8 counters per cast, but unless these effects are like 60+ counters I just don't think they work.

Deadly Velium Poison (https://wiki.project1999.com/Deadly_Velium_Poison) is cold based (Magic Dispel)
Tagar's Insects (https://wiki.project1999.com/Tagar%27s_Insects) in magic based. (Magic Dispel)

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

I know Tagar's is magic based, but it applies disease counters, implying its curable by disease removing spells.

Ah, I see, the wiki just lists it but its bait and slows aren't curable by cure disease until shortly after the timeline p99 is on.
