Hello all. Im playing TOTSC right now, with quite a few mods, and I found Boots of Phasing in Durlags Tower. I think they were added there by one of my mods, dunno which :)

Its a cursed item with really cool properties. Extra AC and teleports you to enemies constantly - I never found these boots before, but its also my first time in Durlags Tower. Googling this, I discovered they were originally in SoA as well but patched out. A poster on the old boards said that this is because they were bugged, and another said even after removing the boots his character would still warp around... but there were few details.

Personally I feel like using them. Its a perfect item for my sturdy Inquisitor-tank, keeps him in the action all the time. I just want to know more about the bugs surrounding this item; is there any chance for it to corrupt my character with perma-warp effects? Anything else I should be aware of?

Thank you!

Everything I've read says these boots are not only cursed but seriously bugged, the curse can not be removed. Personally, I'd ignore them.

From my tests so far, I have no issue removing the curse. Ive been using them for a few hours now and I took em off three times so far.

Their biggest drawback seems so far that sometimes theyll teleport you away from an enemy to another, and then the AI script wont make the character switch targets, essentially making your character walk to his previous foe mid-fight, which can be a waste of time. Most the fights Ive used them for so far were good tho, but Id welcome any other advice or info about the specific issues that plague them.

The bug lies in the fact that these boots will sometimes place you on impassable ground.



I.e. the goblins in spellhold who shoot from pillars, if you are teleported to them, there is no way back down (unless another enemy wanders into LOS).



The boots of phasing were removed from the game for the same reason as the dimension door spell afaik.

Duh! Thats an excellent point and makes sense...

I love them so far tho... hmph. Ill see how common an occurance this is. If its fairly rare, I can Ctrl+J without too much suspension of disbelief. If its a frequent occurance, I guess Ill get rid of them. Theyre a blast tho! Cursed by arse! My paladin is always in the thick of it now :)
