    Default Corrupted? How?

    So I drank from a pool and it said "you feel reserved" which I thought meant decreased charisma - but every few steps after that I see a purple - "you are corrupted" around my character.

    It is only day 19

    I have checked all my items - the only unID items are two brown gems, a periodot ring(which I am not wearing), and a strange medal girdle(7s) which appears to act as a girdle of greed when equipped(its not presently equipped.)

    Nothing has a corrupting prefix or suffix.

    Am I missing something?

    Where are you? My guess would be it's just background corruption. The other possibility would be that you are carrying a corrupting artifact that you are not familiar with.

    Doesn’t it corrupt you faster when you are doomed too? It’s possible you got doomed at some point as well?

    Not Doomed.

    Just got to the Dwarven Village.

    I thought background corruption doesn't start until day 90, but by your question I guess its affected by dungeon depth also.

    Yes, getting past day 100 increases background corruption, but it doesn't actually affect which areas are corrupting.

    The rate of background corruption increases after 90 days. You can still suffer background corruption before 90 days depending on what you are carrying or where you are.

    Then it is background corruption. The CoC below D:9 is corrupting. You're approaching the core of the nuclear reactor.
    You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.
