Curio
Curios are special items that must be pieced together and, when completed, might be carried, worn or placed in a manse. Pieces often come from quests or promotional events. On top of the benefits of each individual completed curio, many curios provide an additional power when one completes all the curios in a collection.
Trade in curio pieces among adventurers is very common and facilitated by the CURIOMARKET command.
Known curios include:
