3.5 - Uncurse weapon?

[Stephen2]

Hi there, sorry for the newbie question. My priest accidentally cursed his mace when he read an unknown scroll - it's really making life hard for him now! Especially with a Holy Avenger in his backpack waiting for him...

I found by searching the forum that maybe using enchant scrolls can remove the curse? Is this true? If so, is it just the normal to-dam, to-hit enchant scrolls, until the weapon is back to (+0, +0) ? Or is it the super *enchant* scrolls? Either way, what is the best way to get these now?

Thank you, on behalf of my sad Dwarven Priest.

I believe any enchant weapon scroll, or spell, has a given chance to break a curse.
Good luck!

Or if you have a scroll or spell of Remove Curse, you can just take it off and start using the HA again...

Curse weapon causes heavy curse. That cannot be removed by simple remove curse (and that scroll doesn't even exist in 3.4+). *remove curse* and priest spell dispel curse can remove heavy curses, but I'm not sure those exists either in 3.4+. IIRC dispel curse was in Holy Infusions and it isn't there anymore, and I don't recall seeing any *remove curse* scrolls either so I guess those too has been removed.

Enchant weapon scrolls and spells can break heavy curses. Even if enchantment fails curse might broke.

Remind me not to try 3.4.1....

Curses are pretty much nonexistent in 3.4.1. Artifacts might be cursed but you immediately notice that, and then there are those curse weapon and curse armor scrolls which IMO should be removed from game because they interfere with the idea of ID by use. I never really liked them even in old days either. Nothing else is cursed or causes curses.

I agree and have just removed them from 3.5 because they are game-breaking now that enchantment is not available in the shops and remove curse is no longer available.

Thank you everyone for the info - and thank you takkaria, sounds good. I guess my Priest is in for a long search for enchant scrolls then!
