Is Curse of Binding worth it?
A trap, not a benefit. Check traded armour before you put it on.
Getting Curse of Binding onto your gear
Curse of Binding cannot be rolled at an enchanting table at any bookshelf count. You need a book from loot, trading, fishing or bartering, then an anvil. Because it always arrives as a book, combine it with your other books first and apply the finished book to the item last — that keeps the prior work penalty down.
Work out the cheapest order for a full set with the Minecraft enchantment calculator — it will tell you which books to pair up first and flag any step that would trip the “Too Expensive” limit.
