Wretched Gore Question

[carcanken]

I recently decided to come back to this game to try out the new Hafen update,

I was wandering around the forest and a honey badger snuck up on me and decided to do what it does best... I managed to get away with 66 Wretched Gore under my health tab.. how am I supposed to get rid of it? Or is my health just permanently lowered by 66..

Is there anything I can even do about it being on a newer character?

Thanks!

You can stitch it with some thing.
Then it will heal with rate of 1 / day.
Faster way is to find some ancient roots and eat them which heals some of your wounds immediately.

So if I'm reading this right.. it will take 66 days to recover while I have a lot of my stats reduced? Should I just restart?

I can't tell you what to do. If that's your choice, since you've just begun, then go for it.

from my understanding wretched gore only occured during pvp? I havent partook in pvp because i dont want to die, but i've have my fair share of pve encounters, and i've never taken and wretched gore damage.

Yea, I've been wondering that myself too. That's what it says on the wiki, so I'm not sure how he got a wretched gore from a badger. And I don't believe that any other wound will progress into that.

I haven't even seen another player in game yet so that is really weird..

A large enough hit from anything can cause a wretched gore. Bears, badgers, and lynx (and larger, of course) can cause them if you're not armored. Also, several smaller wounds can compound into one much worse wound if I remember a statement from jorb correctly (I'd have to dig to double check that).

There are better options for healing it. Ancient Roots are great if you can get them. Better quality medical items increase the rate of healing by their multiplier, so q90 would heal 3 HHP a day vs just 1 for q10.

If you're just starting out again, there's no shame in shelving the character and starting a new one. Then again, there's challenge in soldiering on and seeing how far you can push things. That's a lot of penalty for a fresh spawn with no real attribute increases.

edit: oops, but in wrong resource item. I put in "heartwood leaves," and it should be "ancient root."

I got a wretched Gore from a bear in the last world so animals can give it too. You need a stitch patch to fix it and it is 1/per day. If you just started out then yeah it would probably be best just to restart.
