wow What are Curious Coins in Legion?

[Valks 2,373]

You might have grabbed one of these new coins while leveling up over the past week, but may not know what it is! Here's a full guide to what the Curious Coins are and what you can spend them on.

Find out where to gather and trade in this new currency!

As one of the new currencies that have arrived in Legion, the Curious Coins might be a bit of mystery to some. They can be dropped from the following sources:

• Dropped by bosses in Legion dungeons (all difficulties)
• Rare chests and spawns around the Broken Isles
• Emissary and Mythic+ caches

When you do receive one, you'll notice the flavour text included on the item that leads you to a vendor by the name of Xur'ios in Dalaran. To find him, do the following:

• Go to Dalaran and to the Northern bank.
• Once there, turn left and walk towards the statue of Antonidas. 
• Xur'ios is standing between the two. 

The vendor sells two "types" of items: those that are always available and those that are on a rotation. The items that are always available are all profession recipes and are listed as follows with their cost in Curious Coins:

Profession	Item	Cost
Leatherworking	Recipe: Leather Love Seat	1
Engineering	Schematic: Mecha-Bond Imprint Matrix	1
Blacksmithing	Recipe: Flamespike	1
Enchanting	Formula: Soul Fibril	1
Inscription	Technique: Straszan Mark	1

The other items that are on a rotation can be slightly harder to grab hold of. A different item will appear on Xur'ios every day, with the possibility of there even being the same items for multiple days. If you're looking for a specific item, it's important to check back whenever you can. The following items are all part of the rotation, as well as being listed with their costs in Curious Coins:

Item Type	Name	Cost
Enchant	Boon of the Nether	50
Player Buff	Krota's Shield	50
Follower Equipment	Ingram's Puzzle	50
Player Buff	Gjallar's "Horn"	50
Cosmetic	Mote of Light	50
Mount	Arcadian War Turtle	150

When it comes to actually farming these items, the best way to do so is just play the game itself. The drop chances are tied to completion of objectives that you would need to complete anyway, so go out into the world, complete your world quests, go through dungeons with your friends and hope that some of the coins drop.

I looted from one in Eye of Azshara and, despite it popping up as a "piece of loot", it went straight to my currency tab. So I'm guessing not!

So that's how Curious Coin factors into the Mecha-Imprint Bond Matrix...I'd better get to leveling my engineer.

It's always nice to see homages to other titles, especially when you already know the reference. You have that moment of jumping up and down and pointing and going: "LOOK LOOK"
