*If you worship [[Ashenzari]], you may convert scrolls of remove curse into [[scroll of curse weapon|scrolls of curse weapon]], [[scroll of curse armour|armour]], or [[scroll of curse jewellery|jewellery]] by praying while standing over them (the exact type of curse scroll you receive is random).

==History==
*If you need to take off a cursed item and don't have a scroll of remove curse, there are alternatives. A [[scroll of enchant weapon]] or [[scroll of enchant armour]] will uncurse single items along with their enchanting effect. This is true even for artefact weapons and armour, although the enchantment will not take hold.

*In [[0.27]], [[curse]]s were globally removed, removing the need to remove curse.
*[[Tukima's Dance]] is another option for unwielding cursed weapons, but the weapon will become hostile and remain cursed even after being "killed".
+
*Prior to [[0.18]], the player could use [[scroll of enchant armour|scrolls of enchant armour]] and [[scroll of enchant weapon|enchant weapon]] to remove curses.
*[[Sticks to Snakes]] can similarly remove certain weapons (those made of wood), but the snake will be hostile and the weapon will be destroyed in the process.
+
{{scrolls}}
*Acquiring a [[mutation]] that forbids the use of a certain item automatically unwears the item. For example, if you wear a cursed helmet and gain the horns mutation, the still-cursed helmet will immediately pop off.  Transmutations are ''not'' effective in removing armour, however.  It is instead melded, cursed or not.
