Observant players have noticed that it's hard to craft gear for animal-cursed players. There's only one [[Gems|gem]] that covers all animal curses, so you often craft Deer gear when you really want Spider gear, and so on.
=== General tips regarding playing in an Animal Form ===
Be aware that the Animal Forms stack. If you are a cow, and drink a [[Deer Juice]] potion, you will appear to be a Deer. However you are also still cursed as a Cow. So after drinking an Un-Deer Juice, you will not be in human form, but will be a Cow again.
When just starting animal say something in nearby Nearby chat every 5 min or so. That way you will get exp in your [[Beast Speech]], and won't bother people in globalGlobal. You can also set up a new chat-channel with a unique name and use that as a private channel to randomly type in, to level up Beast Speech.
To (some) animals Joeh will not talk. Thus causing a problem for those players when trying to sell gear loot-drops. Please know that [[Roshun the Traitor]] talks to animals and also buys gear. Storage unlocked in Serbule (from Joeh, Ivyn or Marna) will seem to be unavailable to animals since those NPC's wont talk to them. That storage can be accessed (at least as of the moment this is written) through the Bookshelf (between Marna's and Hulon's house). 3-sylabe word of powers include ones that will grant you illusion, making you look like elf for 2 min. can be helpfull when talking to npcsNPCs. Note that Spiders can learn a spell Illusion (that consumes a moonstone) to take human form for some minutes.
You definately should start working on favor in [[Animal Town]] asap, especialy if you are full time animal (eg - not wolf)

Completing quests this way is a fairly laborious process, because you have to research the Words and each Word is usable only once. It is intended that being an animal is a hard play style. The "human form" Words of Power just ensure that animals can access important skills and equipment that they will need at higher level, even though it will be a bit of a pain.
Spiders can learn the 'Illusion' spell (that consumes one moonstone each time) to assume a human form illusion for a limited time.
