There are some downsides to this method, like greater mood loss, but many players find it effective in fending off severe outbreaks. | ||

In order to cure a wolf's illness, you must use a specific medicine designated for that ailment. Medicines typically have the illness's name in their name. For example, Open Wound Salve will cure Open Wound and it cannot be used for any other illnesses. The only exception to this is Antidote, which cures Poison. | |||
Before curing an illness, the wolf must be '''diagnosed at the herbalist'''. Diagnosis is required before you are able to cure an illness, but having a herbalist is not required to do it. If you do not have a herbalist, Herbert will help you diagnose your wolf's illness instead. | |||

After diagnosing the wolf at the [[Herbalism|herbalist]], you can give them the cure from the Sick Wolves page or your Hoard. This will cure their illness and provide '''one rollover of illness immunity''' to the wolf. This means that the wolf will be unable to contract any more illnesses until you rollover one time. | |||
There are some illnesses—Constipation, Cough, Cystitis, and Diarrhea—which have a small chance to cure themselves on rollover. If this occurs, you will see a note in your Daily Rollover Summary informing you that the wolf is feeling better. Besides with these illnesses, wolves will stay sick until you cure them. | |||

Illnesses are a persistent mechanic that add a level of unpredictability and challenge to the Wolvden experience! While playing casually, your wolves will be able to get sick and injured, and you will be able to assist them with the help of a Herbalist. Illnesses can catch you off-guard if you're not prepared to address them as they pop up, so understanding illnesses and herbalism can be very important to ensuring your pack's longevity.
Illnesses and herbalism are unlocked on your fourth rollover with a new unique quest, Sickness and Health. Upon rolling over, Tala will inform you that your lead wolf has fallen ill and will walk you through assigning a Herbalist and treating the illness. New players have a brief illness immunity: until you have completed the Sickness and Health quest and rolled over five times, your wolves will be incapable of developing illnesses and you will be unable to assign wolves the Herbalist and Forager roles.
