Sand castle worst curio in havens history

Post by overtyped »

Let's look at it for a moment.
Q10 7500 lp for 223 hours
That's 8.4 lp/hour per slot. 33.6lp/ hour in total.
It's 2.5 times worse than the next worst curio, which is Q10 deer antlers. (20lp/hour)
How did you invent such a terrible curio?
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

At least it's better than it was ;)

How can you call it a buff if it goes from 2.8 lp to 8.4lp an hour per slot?
It's so bad, it should be called dogshit castle

Wait I thought it was "only" 96 hours...

An easy to craft 2x2 curio should probably suck. The value for 96 hours sounds reasonable imo.

if we were to layout every curo in the game, at q10 with LP per hour and LP per day. and ttl LP.
then sorted the curio from annoying to make to easy to make. maybe then we can start to balance the curio more?\

its something I would like to promote more.

abuse wise for curios
Hourly Curio pops are abused by bots
Long term Curio are used by alt'ers
really no work around- but since long term curio would give other people a fair chance without needed to worry about loading their study up every 1 hour.

Longer pops should be higher LP shorter should be less. is what I think.
