Cursed Equipment

Cursed is a separate equipment quality. Generated Normal and Sealed Cursed equipment generally contains regular affixes, curse-area affixes, and one negative curse; Alien and Rune-Cursed equipment use their own structures.

Core Rules

• Cursed equipment cannot use ordinary forging currency to add or remove affixes.
• It cannot be enchanted or repaired.
• It can hold up to 8 regular and curse-area affixes. Negative curses, Sealed Affixes, Infusion Affixes, and Alien T0 affixes are displayed separately.
• Special gems still work where their own rules allow them.

Generated Cursed Equipment

Generated monster weapons have a default 20% chance to become Cursed. Chests, fishing, and merchants can also produce Cursed equipment.

A generated Cursed item normally has:

• 3–4 base regular affixes;
• 2–3 curse-area affixes: 75% for two, 25% for three;
• curse-area Tiers from T4 through T1;
• one compatible negative curse;
• 0–75% initial Infusion Value;
• a 10% chance to immediately undergo 1–5 Alien changes.
