And? Did you get a hollowed dragon from the new item you picked up?

It's been long established that the game follows a fixed list and that you shouldn't think of the cursed items as the weapons/armors/rings themselves. What you get from them is decided long before they drop. They are just the means to get the game to move down the list.

You can easily test this, like I and many others did, in the ward of regret. It contains a riftstone to create a checkpoint (that you can return to after godsbaning at Olra) and two chests that can contain lvl 3 gear. Or move further into the midnight helix and pick up both Armor lvl 3. Check what you get, godsbane and then gift those things to a player and then obtain both lvl 3 armors again from the midnight helix. I guarantee you they will be the same as before because you didn't let the game move on with it's list. Feel free to try it on your own.

Throwing cursed items away is not advisable if you are looking for a specific item, it will only slow down your progress.
