The quality of the curiosity is known to have an effect on the total LP gained. The exact formula is unknown for the moment. (Suggesting LPgain = BaseLPgain * sqrt(quality/10) )
 
Do note that not all curiosities are created equal. Cat Gold for instance has a very long study time, but contrary to what was first thought it also has a low LP gain. The concept is that as the int of a character rises, you will have attention to spare so that you can also study the lesser curiosities on top of the better ones. Unless of course you're rich enough to have access to the best ones constantly that is. And since quality effects the potency of a curiosity, as the world becomes established and item qualities begin to rise some items may gain popularity due to this mechanism.
 
An example of the quality issue is the cone cow versus dandelion. The dandelion takes x2 as long for the same base LP gain. But, to counter for this you can find higher than quality 10 dandelions quite easily, where it takes a fair amount of effort to get higher than quality 10 cone cows (planting and growing high Q trees).
 
Base LP should be given for the Curiosity at 10ql and for a learning ability of 100%.

Do note that not all curiosities are created equal. [[Cat Gold]], for instance, has a very long study time; but contrary to what was first thought, it also has a low LP gain. The concept is that as the intelligence of a character rises, you will have attention to spare, so that you can also study the lesser curiosities along with the better ones (unless, of course, you're rich enough to have access to the best ones constantly). And since quality effects the potency of curiosities, as the world becomes established and item qualities begin to rise, some items may gain popularity due to their potential for quality.

An example of the quality issue is the [[Cone Cow]] versus the [[Dandelion]]. Dandelions take twice as long for the same base LP gain. However, to counter for this you can find higher than quality 10 dandelions quite easily, whereas it takes a fair amount of effort to get higher quality cone cows (planting and growing high Q trees).

Curiosity is a mechanic, introduced in World 5, that allows a hearthling to develop Learning Points. It is implemented by studying peculiar objects either found or created in the game. The Study Interface, found by pressing the second button on the character window, is where curiosities can be placed for study. You can't study more than one curiosity of each type at the same time, but you can restudy the same curiosity as many times as you want. The sum Mental Weight of your curiosities can't exceed your Attention Limit, which is equal to your modified Intelligence. The quality of the curiosity is known to have an effect on the total LP gained. The exact formula is unknown for the moment. (Suggesting LPgain = BaseLPgain * sqrt(quality/10) )

Do note that not all curiosities are created equal. Cat Gold for instance has a very long study time, but contrary to what was first thought it also has a low LP gain. The concept is that as the int of a character rises, you will have attention to spare so that you can also study the lesser curiosities on top of the better ones. Unless of course you're rich enough to have access to the best ones constantly that is. And since quality effects the potency of a curiosity, as the world becomes established and item qualities begin to rise some items may gain popularity due to this mechanism.

An example of the quality issue is the cone cow versus dandelion. The dandelion takes x2 as long for the same base LP gain. But, to counter for this you can find higher than quality 10 dandelions quite easily, where it takes a fair amount of effort to get higher than quality 10 cone cows (planting and growing high Q trees).

Base LP should be given for the Curiosity at 10ql and for a learning ability of 100%.
