treasure

You will frequently find treasure on the bodies of the monsters you kill. Generally, more powerful monsters carry more valuable treasure, which is indicated by the monster's treasure type. In addition, you may run across type one and type two treasures wandering through the realm. A specific type may contain items you can use in your travels or gold and gems which can be used to buy things at the trading posts.

The chance that treasure is cursed is based upon treasure type. The more valuable treasures have a greater chance of being cursed. A cursed treasure knocks energy level very low, and adds some poison.
