I was just offered a flash deal for 450 gems and a minor Orb of Ascension. For the asking price of $10, this is a pretty good deal—the gems alone would be $10 if purchased as two sets of daily gems, and would take you 30 days to collect. ---

How I love these Delve maps. So simple, yet so damn cool! 👍 I do die for a similar world/underworld map old fashioned look. Would be a nice alternative option at least. 🙂 ---

In case anyone is struggling to remember what Cursed does: > [@4.2 Patch Notes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/4-2-patch-notes/49843/1): > > _CURSED:_ This is a negative status effect that makes all other status effects (including itself) only half as likely to automatically cleanse. In addition, it makes all affected troops able to be devoured, mana burned, or inflicted with negative status effects even if they would ordinarily be immune. It also cancels the Blessed effect (see above). It can cleanse automatically like most other negative status effects (though at half the rate). ---
