How to Use Curse of Binding

Curse can Only be Removed by Dying or the Item Breaking

There is no way to remove the Curse of Binding except by dying or by letting the armor piece break. If you want to save the item, die near your spawnpoint so that it'll be easy to pick back up. Keep in mind the Curse will remain with armor piece even after you die.

This also means there's no way to remove this in Hardcore mode, so make sure you don't accidentally equip an item with this Curse.
