Incorrect pseudo ID

[Guest]

I've just started coming across a phenomenon where the psuedo Id is
incorrectly identifying items. It's identifying items that should be average
as bad and also I dentifyong unduresed items as curesed. It even identified
a Weapon of mogul as only bad.

Any idea why this is happening or if it is a known bug?

That'll be the bad luck mutation. Not only does it generate more
cursed items in the game. It stuffs up pseudo-id. And one other really
nasty effect, it sometimes curses items when you identify them.

It certainly makes playing a challenge.

Several vars have features/factors that make you have a wrong
pseudo ID.
Post the variant in front of the thread....

How much difference does it make?

why not just go to the chaos tower if you play [Z] and spend some 5k
bucks on cure mutation?
