With the new diseases that are encumbering are land, the many pilgrims of the new world are all searching for a way to keep the evil demons that wish to invade there earthly vessels at bay.

There are rumors however skimming over the pond that the foul smells that plague are daily lives, whether that be the smell of the humus that keeps are great land moving, or from the entrails of the great beasts that keep are bodies moving are the cause of these demons that invade the souls of are friends and loved ones. Do not Abandon all hope though, because the trails that brought forward the cause have also brought forward the solution, A pocket full of posies! Yes that's right, quite simply stuff your pockets (literally) with the sweetest smelling flowers and plants from across the land. You'll then find that the demons that wish to penetrate your being through the medium of the foul smell will be blocked be the heavenly scents that the lord has blessed are land with.

Sorry for the *****, basically my idea is to be able to take lets say three plants/flowers and craft a posie, and if you had slotted pockets into your clothes you could then place said posie into your pockets which would then act like the plague mask and give you protection from catching a disease from another player. Could also make it so better/rarer flowers make better posies which provide more protection. Seems like a good idea as currently as far as I'm aware the plague mask is the only form of protection which just equals everyone wearing plague masks which In my opinion isn't a good thing.

You can also just drink a small bit of berry juice and have disease immunity for 8 hours.

O yea, I forgot about that, oppppps. I still like my idea as it would give something that wouldn't run out as quickly as 8 hours, a crafted posie could last a few days before it rots or something.

It could... but it would also require every player that coughs to check every pocket on every player around them. Doesn't sound too ideal from a server-lag perspective for a mechanic that already has two unique ways to mitigate it.

Does this provide immunity from rat bites too? Server lag is making disease free hunting harder than it use to be.

Also only make it stop you from catching the disease from the bite, but not the fleas. ¦]
