Drop/Unequip weapons and gear

[gray old man]

Just simply would like to be able to drop pieces of gear that are currently equipped, when there isn't an alternative laying on the ground. I've had early pieces of gear drop that I either didn't want, and would like to sell to be able to pick something up at a merchant (that I'm replacing said item with anyway, but cannot access my current item's gold value), or because it has a secondary effect that might get me killed early in a run (like the life leech with 2.5x damage taken, or the 2x/2x damgae done/dealt).

Why would you pick up something without reading it if it has a bad effect? Dropping items makes no sense with forge upgrade right now. Once you get to rank 2 all gear gives passive stat bonuses so it's always good to have gear on you.

There have been a number of times where I wanted to drop something so I could exchange it for gold to have enough to buy an item in a shop. So there's at least one reason (edit: re-read OP's post, and he said the same thing, which only furthers the validity of the point).

Dropping items for money and dropping items with x2damage, or the "heal on strike, but take 2.5 more damage" are reasonable, but it opens up the problem of scumming the system for the "cursed" kinda items. Going into an area, afraid you might get hit? Drop your item, make it past, then use a teleporter to come back for it or just walk back when the danger is dealt with. This is my only problem with this idea. I support it otherwise.

Of course, you could still do this before, if you find any old item lying around, but it takes time to run all the way back to the item location, so it's just more tedious. If someone was going to do it the tedious way, then they already were and therefore making it more common isn't going to change much but speed up completetion times and reduce tedium.

Yea but there is already more than enough gold in the game. I often get to clocktower without buying anything. And shop items are cheap enough that you can afford at least one or two items per level if you kill everything. You are not gonna go into a shop with spartan boots and go I guess I'll take that over my rank 1 war spear coz it's two levels higher. I never had that problem so it never occured to me to drop items to be able to afford something.
