If you’re looking for cursed relics that actually help in a fight, go for ones that stretch your ammo. The Relic of the Unending Quiver lets you fire twice as many shots before the supply runs out, and the Cursed Magazine of Infinity keeps your rounds flowing, though it usually drains your stamina. Both can double your ammo budget if you’re willing to pay the price in endurance. Keep an eye on the side effects, though.

Got it. I'll keep a close eye on the stamina drain. If it starts looking like a wilted lettuce, I'll swap out the cursed gear for something more reliable. And yeah, the junky treasures are the only way to stretch a budget, as long as they last.
