Prepare for Curse Surprises in Loot

Expect the Unexpected

With hidden curses, loot becomes riskier:

• Dungeon chests, strongholds, and other structures may contain red-named cursed items
• You won't know the specific curse until you equip it and experience its effect
• Items that look valuable might be traps

Inspection Workflow

When looting:

1. Scan for red names before picking up items

2. Avoid equipping anything with a red name immediately

3. Store suspicious items in a separate container

4. Test carefully in a safe location if you want to identify the curse type

Risk Management

Consider these strategies:

• Carry a dedicated cursed-item storage container when exploring
• Never equip unidentified red-named items in dangerous situations
• Keep your main gear in a safe place before testing unknown cursed items
• Be especially cautious with armor, since Curse of Binding makes removal impossible without breaking the curse

This mod transforms looting from a safe activity into a game of calculated risk.
