# Forum:Cursed ordinary sack - concern?
&lt; Forum:Watercooler

If a bag of holding is cursed, there's 33.3% chance that an item will disappear when taken out of the bag.
However, if its just an ordinary sack ... the wiki doesn't say its a problem.  Should I bother wasting a cancellation charge on one?

As far as I know, there are no issues with curses on an ordinary sack. Ais523 (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Not in Vanilla, but in UnNetHack a cursed bag doesn't protect its contents from the curse items spell - if the bag is targeted, a random item in the bag gets cursed instead.
