Obtaining the Doll
At Notoriety Level 5, the pirate receives a quest to visit Tia Dalma on Cuba. She will send the player on the Voodoo Doll Quests. They will be required to perform quests to find the components of the doll, then to power it up.
Other, more powerful, dolls can be purchased from a Gypsy - once the pirate reaches higher skill levels. Quests for even more powerful dolls will be offered as the pirate's skill increases (See Below) and the pirate can often pick up a doll from found Loot.
There are 4 different types of dolls. The first kind is the basic, crude Voodoo Doll, including the original dolls (Straw, Cotton, etc). There are also Bane Dolls (attack dolls) which use dark energy like Dark Staves, Mojo Dolls (protection dolls) which use warding energy like Warding Staves, and Spirit Dolls (healing dolls) which use spirit energy like Nature Staves.
Use
To use the doll, you must first attune a target. Attuning means to basically touch them with it like you would with a sword. Either press CTRL or click the left-mouse button. It doesn't hurt them, but it makes them connected with the voodoo doll. A swirl of black will appear under your attuned target's feet. The attuned targets and their health levels will also appear on the right. You can also use attune to check how much health the person has.
Attunement can be broken if you get too far from the target, are hit by certain attacks, teleport, or by putting the doll away. You may also click on the target's name in your attuned list to drop them.
The advantage of the doll lies in the fact that a pirate can attune, then move away from the target to avoid attacks. Voodoo effects will be spread among multiple targets, reducing the effects to each.
Healing only affects allies, and harmful hexes only affect enemies. But, you can have a mixture of friend and foe attuned at once.
Each use of the doll, harm or heal, will provide Reputation for the pirate. Once reputation reaches the maximum for the pirate's doll skill level, the pirate receives a Skill Point, which can purchase new abilities or increase the power of the abilities they have.
This is how the doll acquires a target for voodoo hexes. The user must touch the subject, friend or foe first. Increasing this skill allows more friends or allies to be attuned at once (up to 5 combined). Hex effects will be divided amongst the targets.
