If the List of Curiosities thread is correct:

Lady's mantle: 60 LP/h (300/5)
Uncommon snapdragon: 66 LP/h (1000/15)
Thorny thistle: 23 LP/h (555/24)

I threw a few thorny thistles away after the one I was studying took hours and wasn't even 10%. It's not bad on mental weight but that doesnt help it any.
Come back two hours earlier.

Strange crystal is the worst. It requires 20(!) attention, takes days to study and probably is fate-type. It screws me so bad (since I'm a miner) that I never found any foragable fate curio so far. :)

It's not a fate type curio. I've found millions of them, and threw away just as many.

Almost sure Strange Crystal weights 12. Still pretty bad, though.

Uncommon Snapdragon and Thorny Thistle are not bad at all, they are average I think. Snapdragon takes like 8h and 4 mental weight for 1k lp at q10. Thorny Thistle is like 550lp/6h/2mw, so it is a bit worse. I think slots matter more in this new version of the game, so they feel worse than their previous version imo.

I've always benchmarked "average" curios at 100 lp/hour/slot by the time I hit midgame. Anything above I'm happy to run, anything below I get meh on.

That's a fair average for old haven, but I think we got to lower our standards for average a bit for this new version.

I'm not so certain on that. I think qualities are lower than legacy, not to mention the lack of 360%. That makes everything *feel* slow, but I've noticed a lot of attainable curios sitting in the 100-200LP/hour/slot range still.

The lack of the 360% is killing me D:

If you are correct, then they're not too bad, but please see viewtopic.php?p=562615#p562615 first.

Don't worry, it's killing everyone else, too.
