Affliction priorities

The nexSys4 Aff Priorities configuration tab

This tab sets your default affliction priorities: the order in which Achaea's server-side curing deals with your afflictions.

Reading the tab​

  • Each column is a priority. Prio 1 is the most urgent, and urgency falls column by column to Prio 25. Scroll sideways to see them all.
  • The first column, Ignored 26, holds afflictions that server-side curing never cures. Achaea treats priority 26 as "ignore", and nexSys shows its own 0 the same way.
  • Only afflictions that server-side curing can cure are listed. The rest are tracked by nexSys but can't be prioritized here.

Changing a priority​

Drag an affliction to another column, then select Save. Only the column matters; the order of afflictions within a column isn't saved.

How priorities work​

  • Achaea cures with whichever curing balance is free (herb, salve, smoke, sip, focus, tree), and on that balance it cures the most urgent affliction it can.
  • A cure that treats several afflictions removes a random one of those you have. A priority therefore really ranks cures. Raising one ginseng affliction means "eat ginseng sooner", not "cure this affliction next".
  • The order between afflictions that share a priority isn't defined. If the order of two afflictions matters to you, give them different priorities.

Leave columns 1 to 3 free​

nexSys's recommended priorities start at 4. Columns 1 to 3 are kept free for rules, which move an affliction there when the situation calls for it: asthma during aeon, for example. If you fill those columns yourself, rules can no longer put an affliction ahead of yours.

Defaults and temporary changes​

What you save here is your default. A rule may move an affliction for a while, and when the rule stops applying, your default comes back. Rules never change your saved defaults. If you change a priority by hand in game, nexSys keeps your change until the end of the session. See Curing and priorities for the full picture.
