Some examples.

 

[rabidfox]

I also saw +2 fortune to int as one. It's RNG rules like GoMF so what you see in the window isn't what you get.

 

[rabidfox]

It's one and done per gear, you can't replace it once you apply it.

To quote Steelstar:
(To clarify: Nothing here actually reduces stats or debuffs you at all)
(OK sink like stone may be a debuff)

 

[Dielzen]

You can't remove the effect or over-write it? Ugh, nothing like having to farm another reaper bonus item because you got a junk roll on the first try, or a duplicate effect.

 

[Epitome]

Cool idea for a system, but akin to the Reaper item crafting system it's not great when you can't slot/unslot bonuses like you can with augments, sentience, etc (which are worth it even if one has to pay for unslot/removal kits, imo).

So, it's more RNG? Like we can't plan the curses... is a 8 or 80 system, go big or go home.

It's RNG like GoMF or Lodestone where what you see in the window isn't what's applied. Hope for good RNG as once it's assigned that item is stuck with it.

If you're going ahead with this system as pure RNG, please at least let us also have a system to remove a curse. Possible example, use a deck to also remove an unwanted curse, then have to use another deck to re-curse. Would make it cost two decks to effectively reroll the curse on items.

That is bummer... one of the cool things on DDO is the deterministic value the named loot has (we can hope for mystic/reaper bonus, but isn't a make or break situation). Already too jaded by PoE RNG crafting to get invested on RNG that can broke a nice mystic/reaper item.

They should let us at least modify/apply/overwrite a new curse for a price (Remnats or new collectible)

 

[rabidfox]

Curious if these cards are a permanent new item drop or just part of the event to unlock the new quests (and then going away).

Have you been getting these via Dojo, or new quests, or some other means on Lama?

EDIT: I guess Dojo since it says you can preview them there in OP. Was just curious if they are dropping in new quests or not over there.

Dojo so far. Was going to mess with the quests a bit later when I have more free time.

I agree, you should be able to spend another deck to let fate and fortune have it's thingy back, especially if you get sink like a rock on a +2 stat reaper boosted helmet lol.

 

[Wongar]

Does the fortune bonus stack like mythic and reaper - do the curses stack if you have the same curse on multiple pieces of gear?

 

[MrDorak]

Does that add a min level to the item or could it be applied to like a lvl 1 item ?

 

[Ipsum]

This is a very cool system, I like this a lot. It gives me something to chase on my endgame loot

+2% strikethrough isnt the same as +2% doublestrike or doubleshot or offhand strike. It just doesnt make sense to me.

 

[Scrag]

Is there any way you can definitely get the major imbuement curse?!
