Curios 410+
Hey guys,

how a am I supposed to get max stat curios? Like 21% health 17% toughness or 3 Stamina? Just finished a auric damnation level and got my first curios since like forever. And got some 380 bs.

I have some curios from when i played the game over a year ago and they are mostly better than what I could get in the last 2 months when I picked up the game again. Did they lower the drop chance? Is there a reliable way to get higher curios? Are they gone from the "loot pool"?

You either get lucky and find them at Brunt or you buy a bunch from Melk and hope for the best

Easiest way is to check in every hour when brunt resets.

This and every day at Melk.

If you got the coins to spare, actual easiest way is to spam buy random curious at Melk

Can confirm they exist, just recently I scraped together three +21% healths on Zealot by spamming Melk random curios.

1. Check Brunt every hour, on the hour, for the next two weeks and you should find at least one max stat curio once you reach level 30.

2. Spend 50K to 100K Ordos Ingots at the Melk RNG curios shop in one sitting. His shop RNG seems to more or less rotate through inventory possibilities if you spam purchase.

3. Check Melk's Ingot store every day for the one curio that might be there and it could be max stat. Probably not though.

4. Run 3 curios with maxed out % chance to receive a curio as a mission reward and play nothing but Auric Damnation for the rest of the year. You might find something. Probably not though.

Slight correction to above:

Once you hit around level 26+, you can start checking Brunt. Resets every hour and you can keep checking for a perfect. Just note that different curios have different points where they max, so you'll only see perfect staminas at the lower end. I think toughness starts showing up next and finally health (ignoring wounds because those are always +1 (I actually recommend getting 0-6 low power wounds curios: 3 for farming because it is cheap to use low power curios for things like +exp or +curio drop rate, 3 for wounds builds because it is cheaper to change those if low power. 0 being if you don't plan to have those on a wound curio or have a different low power curio to put it on)) (Stamina show up around low 400, Toughness I think 400 or 410+, Health, I've seen it on 410s, but I normally don't see them perfect until 420 (I may have mixed Health and Toughness up)).

You can check Melk around 26+ for max curios. Out of 5 characters in about 3 months, I've seen maybe 6-7 max curios, mostly stamina and maybe 5 max weapons there. Very rare.

You can try to gamble your money with random curios to try to get a perfect, but I don't necessarily recommend that on the off-change you find a natural perfect in the store later of the type you want. You don't want to be like: I'm now 50 money short from buying that perfect!

You can keep running missions (Higher difficulties will have better max drop tiers (ie. Transcendent can drop in Damnation), but are not required to get curios to drop). Perfect drops are fairly rare, but can happen. You can run +curio drop rate to boost the chances. Not sure how much the auric and maelstrom effects affect drop tier/power. I'd estimate with an average of 4 runs a day, I have 2 perfects over 3 months, but I don't run +curio on my level 30 gear, only my level 8 curios.

Btw guys, is there even a difference with a 390 curios with a 17% toughness to a 410 anyways? I already have like a full 17% toughness and 3 stamina but not all are 410.

No difference.

In theory, the rating (which is now separate from everything except the top stat) would reach the next level at 10-20 higher rating than is possible. 17% toughness is then more like 17.3% or 17.5% as the rating goes up another 10 points even though you don't perceive the decimal.

I also got mine from spamming Melk's random curios. I only spent like 5k for my Ogryn and got 2 400 rating 17% toughness and 1 410 rating 17% toughness with an extra 410 rating 3 Stam as a bonus just using 5k. Pretty much you can get like 10k+ currency if you have all 5 characters to collect the weekly contracts.

The +3 Sta ones need to be at least 410 or they round down to only +2. HP and Toughness always are accurate, AFAIK.
