Curse cleansing cards - what are they good for?

You are absolutely sure of this?
We've seen that once. Cleansing cards are listed as random loot, like world drops (there are 56 of them including the card). Since the ransack
rule only limits chest-specific named items, until zero value, there's still a chance to get one of those items regardless. Got a Dwarven Thrower
out of a chest I'd already sacked the same way.

100% sure.

Weird stuff with Feytwisted chests in wilderness areas too. Have caught one of those well into ransack and it reset the ransack counter to 1.

Feytwisted chests do not ransack. Do you mean the normal chest that spawns in the same place?

Yes. The normal chest was on ransack when it spawned as feytwisted. Hit the chest again right after (the Djinn right out the door), it was reset to 1. Was not timely timing on the 7 day thing either. Was same day of me starting farming out the rares there. Was just killing the Djinn just because he was there, didn't expect anything and was the first feytwisted chest i'd had seen (didn't know they existed). Rather sure it was the 11th hit on it.

I had some time to try this again. Got the djinn and displacer into ransack and pulled a feytwisted on the 11th hit on the displacer. It reported it as the 10th and I reset out and ran again. Hit the displacer (now 12th) and it spawned another feytwisted on me, which reported as the 10th on me again. Displacer 13, regular chest reported as 10th hit. Displacer 14, reported as 11th (dropped a diamond of haggle 19 for boot - not sure if those should drop in a ransack or not).

Summary - I am rather sure of what occurred before, but this small sample doesn't back that up. Did pull two new feytwisted items I didn't have, still not the belt I've been hunting though - so, more chances in the future to test.

I had let the loot boost expire before hitting any in ransack just to get that variable out.

As far as prices for the cleansing cards. I posted one on khyber with a minimum of 3 shards, ended up the final bid was near 350. There were 3 others with minimum bids over 1000 shards. Don't know if they sold or not. Still a profit for me, but after this i know i can put a minimum of 100 shards anyway.

All 4 were posted within hours of each other.

Why are CCs such a big deal? Do people not understand that they’ll all be outclassed whenever the new expansion drops and then you get to do it all over again.

Maybe not as soon as that. Current gear sets (or even pre-MD) should be serviceable for a while until a couple max-level increases occur.

I would say something but it would be against forum guidelines.

Pro tip: next time post at 4500 and buyout of 5k, even if there is a lower one posted(especially if that lower one doesnt have a buyout)

I use the same gear set for levelling 20-29 every life (doing racials) I don't see why I wouldn't use the same gear set from ~32 to 40 when they implement LTR.

several curse cleansing cards??? this is DDO lottery winning. you can sell these for ALOT of astral shards. save them up, post them for thousands of AS on shard exchange, and even more when new content comes out.

I had a curse card on auction house for 1,2k for a couple months on Khyber, then a while longer around 900. "Easy guarantee 4k" spoken like someone who has no clue what they're talking about.
exactly, i sold two and my buddy has sold 3-4. Maybe 700-800 > pre 64 bit move.

Now they look like 1200-2000? (weekend of 11/2)

I now have several curse cleansing cards. They do not stack and each takes an inventory slot. I have no idea what curses are, how they work, or where to get them. Do they kick in during legendary levels? Are "curses" good or bad?
Curses come from applying stacks of cards to items. It's random, one-way, and it doesn't overwrite. Curses are potentially nice, but there's a raft of dull pointless ones in the table. If you have a great item (reaper + mythic) with a bad curse, the cleanse permits you to try again for a better curse.

Stacks of cards come as Saga Rewards. If you're using your sagas for XP stones, you won't get cards (and vice-versa). It's a system for characters that have full epic PLs and pretty much never need saga stones for a quick epic PL.

My characters don't have full epic PLs, so no curses for me. The XP is too valuable on ER cycles.

IIRC, I have 3 or 4 cleanse cards in bank awaiting the day 10y or so from now when my chars are done with epic PLs.
