currently they are so terrible in the amount of LP that they give

bear capes, bear coats, bear tooth talismans is not something mass produced, people craft it a few times when they want to update to top quality and then they stop, boar tusk helmets are only early things cause later they are terrible compared to other helmets, and drinking horns are crafted as often as those other bear things

this means that you end up with a lot of leftover teeth that are quite useless - sure, you can use them for glue, but it is a bit of a shame to use fancy bone for this when you have a lot more of plain ones that can be used for this

you can surely use it for alts that use crap curios rather than good ones, such as claim holders which do not need a lot of LP, but those do not need as many teeth/tusks as you will stack up from hunts, so you will still have a bunch of them

also from mass farming chickens you get a lot of wishbones, but they are terrible curios, improve them as otherwise they are just as useless

pretty much the same applies for lynx claws and most other fancy bones, especially lynx claws should be improved because lynxes are rare

another examples like this are walrus tusk, wildgoat horn and red deer/reindeer/moose antlers, terrible curios

the only exceptions to the rule are whalebones and mammoth tusks and troll skulls, also flipper bones of a seal, so those can stay as they are, but other fine bones must give more LP

CONCLUSION: I suggest that fancy bones of small animals (from chicken to bear/moose) should give 200 LP/H/SLOT at q10 while also having some reasonable total LP and 400 LP/H/SLOT at q10 for lynx claws since lynxes are rare

if worm-eaten apples that can be easily farmed by noobs are good curios, then why can't fancy bones be?

The proper in-game term for "fancy bones" is "finebone", despite the fact that neither horns or teeth (including tusks) are made from bone.

I think 200/400 is a bit high for q10, but it would be nice to see fine bones actually be usable more other than just for slow claim alts. I think if you get like a Q200 bear tooth it should be easily 600/700+ lp/hour for example.

just for comparison some seer's spindle curio has 240 LP/H/SIZE at q10 while requiring cheap materials: a beautiful dream, wool, and block of wood

the vast majority of wild animals is still going to be low q anyway, so we wouldn't reach the top of the top with those values anyway
