The Tavern

[grumpy]Take hunting slings for example. They are such a big boost to early-game survival that pretty much any character wants to have up one. But if it's cursed, then you're crippled. A plain-looking weapon ought not have a curse risk. Glowing, etc.: that's a signal to have a remove cruse scroll on hand before trying it. You shuold't have to wait until you have your second remove curse scroll (after read-IDing) before you risk a plain looking weapon![/grumpy]

You explained it yourself.
