Desirability

Easily the worst artefact in the game. It is quite dangerous to wear for any period of time, given its mutagenic radiation, its teleportitis, and its prevention of spellcasting. And due to its randomized appearance, wearing any unidentified randart robe always poses a risk. Make sure you have scrolls of remove curse handy.

History

The Robe of Misfortune will be slightly less dangerous to wear in 0.12 with the revision to the magical contamination property. You still won't want to be wearing it, though.
