The values for damage caused by the wounds given in this article are horribly out of date and inconsistent with other articles. I do not have enough data to edit the page so it can be used, but so far dam/3-6 seems to give an accurate value for the leak-through from natural healing. Requesting that if anyone has data to add that they do so. --[[User:Icedblood|Icedblood]] 15:14, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
== Randomly Worsening Open Wounds_Infected Edges ==
By Dirk, 11/7/22
1) Infected Edges: Hole and Cut type wounds, and possibly other woundsothers, will randomly become worse with no event log indication. Examination will say something about the edges of the wound. I discovered this while skilling with a wound stabalized by a healing cover; all of a sudden the wound was getting worse. I "mined" some data from my event logs for the past 2 months and found 3 different versions of this wound condition and about 8 separate infection events.
2) Conditions I've seen so FarKnown Infected Edges Types:
"You see a straight-through gaping hole with faintly miscolored edges at the chest. The wound is worsening (-1)."
2) Types of Wounds and Data Collection: Currently, I data exists only have data for "hole" wounds at the chest as those are the fastest to getusing thornbushes. A person I know has seen them for cuts as well. I get the initial wounds by walking through thorn bushes. All wounds were between 49 and 60 damage as this is the size I've been using for skilling. Wounds are initially stabalized by 6 potency healing coverw/o bandaging. All infected edges events were observed while skilling, and appear to be random.
3) Duration of Infected Edges Condition: Infected Edges last between a few minutes and a few hours real life. The longest I've seen a wound with continuously infected edges wound was about 23 real life hours (8 hours logged in). Note these times are when I just happened to noticed it and examine. Once you get the infection, the duration and whether it gets better or worse seems to be random, most of the infections I observed only got better. The time between when you get the original wound and when an Infected Edges starts also appears to be random; I've gotten them 10 mins after getting a wound and after several hours.
Here's one example of an infected edges timeline. Note this was both the longest and most varried event I've recorded:
-Original wound obtained: ~21:00 9pm Day 1 (10/31/22)-Infection started: Day 2 11 pm, after 4.5 hours in game with the original wound. Inspection showed: "worringly deep red edges (-2)"
-8 minutes later: "faintly miscolored edges (-2)"
-9 minutes later: "faintly miscolored edges (-1)"
-6 minutes later it was "faintly miscolored "-1)"
-By 9p it was still "faintly miscolored "(-1)"
-After that I didn't examine it the wound again and my toon died at 2am the next morning (Day 4, 5 hrs later) while I as afk.
5) Curing It: In most cases I've observed, the infection has gone gones away eventually on its it's own. It is removed if you sacrafice a rare item to get to full health and or upon death. I donIt't currently have data on s not known whether applying a bandage will help cure the Infected Edges condition. Using a Life Transfer (LT) weapon will lower the damage of the wound but the condition will remain until the wound is completely healed. I haven't use a LT wep to see if the condition is removed before the wound is completely healed.
6) Speculation: It seems like there should be a "-3" or higher level of this condition based on the names "faintly miscolored" and "worringly red edges". "Worringly" suggests to me there is a worse version that I havent hasn't been seen yet.
