there is some dude just exactpy at spawn in prov spreading disease. (black hair) He seems to be Coughing a lot so I took 3 wilow bark cures and was not working. Any one who got sick from him can share what it is ?

BTW it is quite retarded that you TP to prov and got sick instantly due to server taking like 3 seconds to load town.

Also can you help me on how to make more willow tonic ? I got one from some stranger. Wiki states to boil wilow bark in pot but I get only soacked bark from doing that.

It doesnt matter if the guy you got infected from had coughing disease, the disease you get is random. My suggestion is to wait for the bar to get to half and then see what symptom you get the most => cure it with the specific medicine

Are you 100% sure about that its random ? That would be absolutly ilogical and its not mentioned on the wiki.

And can I log off and not play for few days when Im sick ? I will have some personal matters that I need to take care or and I wont be able to play. I dont whant my character to die from sicknes wihile im out.

It is random, and the fastest way I have found to cure the illnesses is to write down each symptom straight away and whichever gets to 20 first is the disease you try to cure. It has worked for me 4 times with no problem and like I said, its quick.

The way it works is that the symptoms are more unrelated to the disease the lower your disease bar is. The fuller it gets, the more you'll get the symptom indicating the real disease. I too used to do what Fidgety described, and count symptoms until i was sure one was dominant. Alternatively, go hug rats and fill the bar quicker :D Don't spam diseases as it might be the case that that reduces the effectiveness of further cures. And sometimes with a low bar you might have to try the right cure several times and still have it fail. Just count a lot of symptoms and cure the crap out of the obviously dominant one.

it is Willow Bark TEA...make a cup or flask and toss the soaked bark, take the cooking pot into inventory, then leftclick the pot and rightclick onto the cup or flask......sip the tea.....2 times should be all that is needed, make a bucket to put the rest of your willow bark tea in for storage and future use.

Yes it is random. Count your next 10 disease events whenever you get sick. The most common one generally shows which disease you have.

Most of this game is illogical and not mentioned on the wiki (as you will see with a couple months playing).

Btw I cleaned some space in the recall area lifting some bodies there and pushed away the guy coughing. I needed 1 min to do that. The other 30 chars who passed there in the hour didn't bothered to do this and help everyone... =/
