Certain nasty items will autocurse themselves (that is, instantly become cursed), so exercise caution even if an item does not appear to be cursed. The only items that autocurse are:
- Loadstones (appearance: gray stone)
- Helms of opposite alignment (randomised appearance)
- Dunce caps (appearance: conical hat)
The helm and the dunce cap will become cursed when worn, while the loadstone only becomes cursed when dropped - that is, picking up an uncursed loadstone is perfectly safe. However, since all loadstones are generated cursed (except possibly those in containers), they are still best left alone.
