Curio
Curios are interactable objects that appear during expeditions. There is a chance of a good or bad event happening by using a curio. Supply items, such as a torch or a key, can be used on them to favorably alter the chances.
Location
Curios can be found inside rooms and corridor segments. Different locations contain different kinds of curios, but some varieties are found throughout all types of dungeon. Each room may only contain one curio, while corridor segments can contain more than one. Unlike obstacles, curios do not prevent passage if not activated; it is thus possible to leave them be to minimize risk, especially if there is a lack of correct provision items to trigger their positive effects.
Interaction
Once the party enters a room or segment with a curio, it can be interacted with to activate a prompt; the curio can be investigated directly or with the use of a provision item. Curios will react differently to certain items. Normally, the use of the correct provision item will trigger a positive effect, removing the chance of negative effects occurring; however, there are a few harmless curios that do not display a prompt and are immediately searched when interacted with.
Some curios grant loot upon activation. There is a fixed pool of items that is used by specific curios. The Antiquarian can cause special treasure to drop when she interacts with curios.
Many curios have effects such as stress infliction, healing, bleeding, blighting, the application of buffs and debuffs or granting/removing a Quirk that will affect individual heroes. The affected hero is always the one currently selected at the moment of activation. It is advisable, upon activating risky curios, to select a hero with good resistances or one that could potentially be affected by the negative effects without endangering the expedition.
There are certain reusable trinkets which can have different interactions depending on the curios they are used on.
- The Reliquary's Spoil that is the Archeologist's Compendium can be used on Kvarotz type curios (such as the Primeval Vase) for guaranteed Darics.
- The Reliquary's Spoil that is the Amber Extraction Kit can be used on Amber type curios (such as the Amber-Consumed Ward) to safely cleanse them and reveal more Amber.
- The Reliquary's Spoil that is the Scavenger's Kit can be used on Corpse type curios (such as the Waxen Penitent) to safely cleanse them and receive provisions and/or loot.
- The loot provided will always be 0-8 Provision items, 0-1000 Gold, 0-1 Gems, 0-10 Relics, or 0-1 Trinkets
- The Celestial Trinket known as "Voidtouch" can be used to cleanse any curio, converting the reward into one gem.
Vendors
Main article: Vendors
Vendors are mostly humanoid curios with more complex items and cleansing. There are usually 2 vendors exclusive to a single region, with the loot they give and what they ask for being mainly thematically related to the dungeon they're in.
