Actually, I have a couple of other newbie questions, and I hate to start a new thread.

1. What are the alters sprinkled all over Serbule for? There are two in Town, and 2-3? out in the wild. What is their function?

2. Very confused about equipping a sword/bow/staff in one hand, and a bottle/ball/shield in the other. Sometimes I can do this, and sometimes I can't, but I can't "tell" the game what I want to go in one hand, or the other. Could really use some help here...

3. Curses - I've been careful. Not cursed at the moment. Are curses curable?

4. Loadouts - I'll be able to use this feature pretty soon (this week?). My question is: can this be used to switch out weapon/gear DURING combat?
