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:

Buffs and Blessings

14th Anniversary Batons

Kittens and Puppies

Each curio forms a pet that can be dropped and will follow you around and provide beneficial effects.

  • Ragdoll Kitten - Points out hidden exits when entering a room (randomly selects one if multiple directions are hidden)
  • Sphynx Kitten - Increases chance to spot illusions

Feature Curios

Feature curios enhance the appearance for better or worse, resulting in an increase or lowering of prestige. You can wear all of them at once for aesthetics, but for positive prestige you can only combine a Hair or Beard Curio with a Beauty Curio.

Item Generation

Genie Bottles

Once per game month each bottle can give a random prize out of 3-5 aethergoop, a master palette, lips, divine present or Wheel of Tzaraziko coin. Note there is a global cap on aethergoop that can be won per game month from all owned genies, treasure maps and ur'traps.

  • Red Genies (Crimson Bottle, Ruby Bottle, Vermillion Bottle, Scarlet Bottle) - collection power is a 1/8 health blessing.

Red Heart

The completed curio forms a candybox which generates a heart-shaped candy each game month, storing a maximum of 10 inside. When removed from the candybox, these transform into a random type of heart candy which provide a defense of some type, such as:

  • 1/6 resistance to a random element for 24 hours
  • 1/3 vital buff to health/mana/ego

Upon consuming the candy, the recipient will involuntarily exclaim the message written on it, such as

An ecstatic Elryn exclaims, "Always Yours!"
