Afflictions are the center of almost all PVP combat tactics, the proper curing and delivery of which is crucial to succeeding in Iron Realm Entertainment MUD combat. Most people do this through systems (IC: Reflexes) which handle curing to different degrees and aliases/macros to handle grouping all the commands for attacks into one simple command.
If you have questions about this, you may look to the forums in the Sparring Grounds or Tech Talk sub-forums, depending on what kind of help you're looking for.
There are many different ways to cure afflictions. Many classes have skills which can cure one or two random afflictions, survival has a handful of specific use cure skills, and the Tree tattoo is commonplace for combatants. The following is a list of all the afflictions and their common cures for living (herbs, smoking, elixirs, and salves) as well as undead (organ slices, tinctures, serums, and poultices.)
