So my Droid phone had a hic up and when it finally resolved the action and reloaded the page it said I did an action that gave me taint. Yet, I never intended to do any jobs with taint as a reward.
I remember a while back there was a place you could go to get taint removed. I have searched and cannot find the thread nor the place in game to get this done.
Any help>?

Um, Shiro Kuni has some taint mitigation tasks, but I don't know their specific effects because I've never had to use them.

But the thing at Shiro Kuni can not remove your taint entirely, you can reduce you taint there not below 1 point...

Seek Relief from the Taint
min Taint 2, Courage 10, Requires Kuni Shugenja Ally. Success grants Jade Petal Tea
Then you can perform the action
min Taint 2, Courage 10, Requires Jade Petal Tea, consumes Jade Petal Tea, Taint -1
Yes, the minimums mean you cannot -EVER- reduce your taint below 1. Once Jigoku has its hooks in you, it never lets go.

Yeah, I ran into a similar situation, also courtesy of my phone. It's rather frustrating to be saddled with the irreversible consequences of something I never even intended to do. Doubly so since the only way to mitigate it also grants infamy. As far as I know, the only way to reduce infamy requires a Dragon ally which can no longer be obtained, since the conclusion of Winter Court.

I suppose, if the thought of playing tainted is too much to bear, you could seppuku...
Then, for the sake of authenticity, reincarnate as a Spider...
In all seriousness, it seems fair to me that Taint can never be eliminated; other options would be less than canon.
The inability to get a Dragon Ally, well, that chafes...

I think the people who got accidentally taint would like to pretend that they never got it in the first place to get rid of it. On the other hand there are a few quite rare options in Rokugan to become completely taint free. |

And remember this; there is not a single mission in the game that requires you to be taint free. So at least game play wise you won't be treated as tainted if you go down to one (which actually makes some sense RP wise, keeping it in check and such). Really, the biggest problem is having to spend the extra time getting rid of the accidental taint if you have more than 1, then having to get rid of the infamy you get if you care about that.
But really, just mean to say if you get 1 accidental taint it shouldn't really effect you in any way, and pretty much anyone would assume it to be an accidental point, OOC and IC.

On the other hand there are a few quite rare options in Rokugan to become completely taint free. That's pretty much my issue, yeah. I'm all for those dabbling in ick to have to deal with the consequences of their actions, especially since it's canon. I'm more angry with myself than anything, on account of making the mistake to begin with. If there really is a way to clear it entirely, though, even if it's rare, then I think I can live with it. I can simply pretend that my honorable bushi was infected while fighting in the Shadowlands or something, and is questing to cleanse himself. The search goes on. |

Well I started as Hida Bushi and did stuff around the shadowlands gaining taint. As a long time fan of the L5R universe I know taint is not reversible and probably will limit my options... my problem is: I've ran into a lot of "max Taint 1" actions, very cool ones and no corresponding ones for tainted characters. For example Shinsei shrine ( has a different name ) vs Festering pit of Fu Leng.
Is this something to change? If not consider a string of actions that let ppl lose taint to 1, I don't mean a no-effort proposition but something a lot faster than 1 evry 20 hours.

There is a long line that will allow you to remove taint until you have max taint 1. it is long, arduous, and very reflective of what it would probably take to deal with such an affliction. Some of us, (like myself) have no hope of ever seeing "Taint 1"
I think that the current time frame is a pretty good one.

Well, I think the main point is pretty spot on; it really would be nice to see some corresponding tainted missions at the Pit, maybe something to do with the Tao of Fu Leng or w/e, something that would be a dark mirror of Reihado Shinsei that required you have a minimum taint. Would be fitting for those choosing to follow darker paths.
