Curio

Revision as of 03:00, 2 September 2022 by Hinic (talk | contribs) (Added a section for non-mechanic curios)

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.

General Curio Collections

Most of the earliest curios fit a pattern of being part of a themed collection of 4: a Magic Item curio, a Damage Resistance curio, a Damage Enhancement curio and a Travel curio.

  • Magic Item curios are enchantable like jewelry but can hold up to 200 charges.
  • Damage Resistance curios may either grant 1/7 resistance to each of two damage types or 2/7 in one damage type.
    • Only one Damage Resistance curio may be active at a time.
  • Damage Enhancement curios may either grant 1/7 buff for each of two damage types or some number for one damage type.
    • Only one Damage Enhancement curio may be active at a time.
  • Travel curios grant +1 celerity when in the pertinent environment.
    • All travel curios in one's inventory are active at all times.

Each of these collections also has a collection power that teleports to a thematic destination.

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 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 can be EATen for a defense based on color typically lasting 24 hours.

Candy color Buff
