Learn how to get, craft, and upgrade Curios in warhammer 40000 darktide. Details on perks, blessings, and upgrade costs from white to yellow.
Curios are items you can acquire through regular gameplay in warhammer 40000 darktide. They can be found in the armory store, Sire Melk’s daily shop which rotates with weekly currency, and Emperor’s Gifts. The quality of curios is largely random, appearing in white, green, blue, purple, and yellow tiers. Emperor’s Gifts offer the lowest chance of obtaining curios, though some items can improve these odds.
You can upgrade your curios at the crafting station for more deterministic quality improvements. The costs are as follows:
- White to green: 150 Plasteel
- Green to Blue: 50 Diamantine, 200 Plasteel
- Blue to Purple: 150 Diamantine, 400 Plasteel
- Purple to Yellow: 350 Diamantine, 900 Plasteel
There are many different named curios with various icons, but currently, there is no discernible difference in their function, suggesting it may be for role-playing purposes.
Curio stats, perks and blessings
Similar to weapons, curios possess their own ratings, stats, blessings, and perks. Better blessings and perks, and more of them, increase the curio's rating. It is estimated that one perk contributes at least ten rating points, while higher percentages on blessings and perks further boost the rating. Generally, higher base ratings correlate with better stats on blessings and perks, though this is a trend rather than a guarantee, as some lower-quality curios can exhibit higher stats than blue or purple ones. Players may wish to re-bless and refine these when crafting features become more robust.
The number of perks and blessing quality also depends on the curio's quality:
- Yellow Quality: One blessing, three perks
- Purple Quality: One Blessing, two perks
- Blue Quality: One blessing, one perk
- Green Quality: One blessing
Curio Blessing and Perks List
Curio blessings and perks are comparable to weapon perks. Blessings on a curio typically offer a large percentage boost to a stat, while perks provide character stat bonuses like wounds, or stat/recovery growth. Some perks can also make in-game progression easier, such as increased experience gain, Ordo Dockets, or a higher chance to receive Curio rewards instead of weapons. Common perk types include:
- Stamina
- Stamina Recovery
- Toughness
- Toughness Recovery
- Toughness damage Reduction
- Sprint Speed
- Sprint Recovery
- Block recovery
- Max Health
- Experience gained
- Chance to get Curio as a reward instead of a weapon luck increase
- Damage resistance to enemies
- Corruption Resistance
- Cooldown reduction
The percentages for these perks typically range from 4% to 10% for most stat improvements. More niche stats like experience, dockets, and cooldown bonuses usually fall within the 2-5% range. Blessings, however, tend to be more focused, often providing bonuses to max HP, one wound, toughness, or maximum stamina. The specific values can vary: stamina can range from 1-3, HP from 10-20%, and toughness from 10-25%, depending on the curio's quality and luck. Higher values are possible but less common based on observed gameplay.
