Bump. I still think this should be a thing. Curio juggling is very distracting - you basically never get peace of mind with it because as soon as a curio pops you are wasting precious potential until you get that filled again.

Just keep curios in your inventory and autostudy on so you can throw new one instantly even if youre like hunting or something.

That is what I do actually. My top inventory row is reserved for 2 or 3 basic items plus road-curios. But it feels weird.

Plus, this doesn't solve the problem or close the gap between auto-studiers and casuals. Autostudy is huge and I don't think we're intended to stay logged in drooling inside a cabinet.

I initially misread talauna's post, and it gave me an idea:

What if you could queue any number of curios, but they must all be unique and not already in your curio table? That way it would give more need for varied curios like the FEP system variety bonus does for food, and it likewise would make lesser curios more interesting (because you can't queue the good curios you're already studying). It also limits the queue length in a natural way, as your queue can't be longer than the amount of different curios you have (that you actually want to study).

I can say that this thing, something should be done to it.
But I think no one know what.

The idea is not everyone can run custom clients, so adding a default curio queue would help narrow the gap for those who cant use auto-study clients. Also, it would reduce curio handling as Jorb intended with the multi-use curio system by not having to stand logged in at a cupboard using a custom client to get ahead of those who cannot run custom clients :)

I wish people would quit going to the excuse of "custom clients already solve this problem" nonsense.

I thought it was just reverted because it had a few issues and it was right before they took a break for christmas, so they wanted to put it on hold until they'd be able to actually work on it. Why nothing has happened since then is A Mystery.
