Phantom Item Bug

I just got "bit" by the phantom item bug. It seems to affect "cursed" items (items that need to be uncursed to be removed - including those items that are not cursed but are of a different alignment then the character wearing them). In this case when unequipping my sarin's sash it will not let me re-equip. Item slot is empty. I can change guilds. A/D is as if nothing equipped. Only solution I've heard so far is to re-patch. Does anyone have any other fixes? If not, is there a downside to re-patching and what is the best way (I understand that items must be unequipped).

The downside is you hafta do the 3.1 patch and it removes your map and emptys the store and zoo then I imagin you will need to do the 353 and .dll thing again.

Thanks Dogg. For now I have gone back to an earlier save with the sash equipped. However, the moment I uncurse it and try to re-equip it or any other sash the problem re-occurs. I guess for now I just won't change guilds to turn in spell books and leave the sash equipped until it is slimed, corroded or I am ready to get the glyph.

Garth, Can you survive a trip to the level 7 swamp naked except for your sash? If you can, then head down there naked and running around in the quicksand and let it suck it off.

Eeew Varzil! I like that "workaround".

Varzil: Thanks for the suggestion. I went down for a quicksand bath. Sarin's Sash was destroyed. Went to town to try to equip another sash and was told that I was using too many. I then filled all 40 item slots with wooden shields and went back down to ensure that each slot was "attacked" by the quicksand. I managed to hit 39 of 40 slots. Came back to town. Got a sash and got the same message. Grrr. I guess later I'll head down for good order sake and get rid of the last shield but I am not optimistic. Any other thoughts?
