But this statement

Is completely wrong. If you really think about the system itself, there is no reason not to use newb curios even when you are at high stage as they take 1,2,3 attentions and as you get your HIGH LP curiosities to the stage they all need 10+ atts, there will always be 1-3 att slots unused. The newb curios will be always plentiful and always used. More likely the high end curios will end up in using two to three most rewarding in terms of LP per hour and you will always complement it with newb curious.
