Good Early Curios

[The_Lich_King]

Everybody knows what the late game curios are, to the extant they don't really need to be stated.

I was wondering however, what curios do people use pre-farming. Like for your initial start what are your fav curios?

I like Feather Trinket, Mirkwood, Seer's Bones for day one as well as any bloated bolete, Peculiar Flotsam and Emerald Dragonfly i can find.

Cone cow, woodworms are ok and easy to mass, worm-eaten apples are good and easy to farm, soldier ants are a classic, I like spired forest conch and they're pretty easy to produce

I usually don't start with conch until after farming because onions. Ants are always a bonus this is true. I forgot about worm eaten apples

I personally start going after them as soon as I can get dusk ferns because you can just stockpile so many of those and start cooking snails immediately

Honestly... valid

Cone cow, mirkwood, dragonfly, feather trinket, dewy lady's mantle. Then with more int or to fill gaps stuff like cattail head, birch boat, bolette, water strider, tubers, thistles, dandelion. Probs other stuff I'm forgetting.

Early game some of these forageables can be really, really good if you find a high q node. Especially stuff like dragonflies because you can find so many.

Nerf my dragonflies and I'll DDoS the server! Maybe.

Every world I sort this by LP/hr/Weight. Anything that's 40+ (after quality modifier) is a prime candidate.

Here's a list from those curios that have 1hr+ runtime (or should, mighta missed one) and are reasonably accessible in the new world. I'll star the ones that I often rely on. Some of these have techniques required to get them efficiently, not included.

*bat wings
*enthroned toad
bark boat (tedious, I don't often bother)
frogspawn
washed up bladderwrack
poppycaps
*royal toadstool
tangled bramble
*jellyfish (my guilty pleasure even into mid world)
bloated bolete
*water strider
ladybug
*feather trinket
worm eaten apple
*gooseneck barnacle
dewy lady's mantle
stalagoom
*mirkwood offering
thorny thistle
auroch hair
flotsam
*dragonfly
ant queen/empress

Ultimately pumping int to make less efficient/int but more LP/hour curios accessible is the key to snowballing your LP.

*bat wings

Be aware these wreck your XP hard. People know this about Mirkwood Offerings, but for Bat Wings it's less obvious.

Yeah my Int pump is where i always suffer mid-world. I have no issue getting to 100 int but for some reason its torture getting past that

I've never had issues with it early world when actions are varied so you're rolling a lot of XP. I tend to taper this list off after 2-3 weeks. 30xp for mirks and 40xp for batwings aren't the end of the world. Mirks used to be a lot worse iirc, like 100? That was brutal. Just keep tabs on your XP and all's fine.

Eh, for 100+ I'd just go for Jorbonzola. I had some great int orca recipes this world, but if whales are harder to get not sure if that's relevant.
