What are Curious Coins in Legion?

Recommended Posts

HxkZ3X7.png

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.

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 SeatRecipe: Leather Love Seat 1
Engineering Schematic: Mecha-Bond Imprint MatrixSchematic: Mecha-Bond Imprint Matrix 1
Blacksmithing Recipe: FlamespikeRecipe: Flamespike 1
Enchanting Formula: Soul FibrilFormula: Soul Fibril 1
Inscription Technique: Straszan MarkTechnique: 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 NetherBoon of the Nether 50
Player Buff Krota's ShieldKrota's Shield 50
Follower Equipment Ingram's PuzzleIngram's Puzzle 50
Player Buff Gjallar's Horn"Gjallar's "Horn" 50
Cosmetic Mote of LightMote of Light 50
Mount Arcadian War TurtleArcadian 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.

Not seen any of these so far!  Are they tradeable :p

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"

      While the big War Within pre-patch news is certainly Dynamic Flight being added to old mounts, the system is also adding a new option for Dracthyr! 
      Since players will be able to switch between Dynamic Flight and regular "static" flying, Dracthyr will gain the ability to fly like a regular old flying mount, including properly just hovering mid-air and looking cool. Here's MrGM's short video of the feature, where we can see that the race still retains the Soar liftoff animation, even with static flying:

      Alliance players will be able to obtain three new wolf mounts soon. Check them out!
      Wolves are typical for the Horde and so Blizzard decided to give Alliance players access to some as well in the near future through the Trading Post.
