Vrischika's Curiosity Shoppe, also known as The Curiosity Shoppe, is an exotic items store owned by Vrischika the Importer and maintained by her servant, Standish. The shop is found in the southeast area of the Clerk's Ward and is accessible about halfway through the game. It is an ovoid building with an unusually long flight of stairs leading up to it. From it can be bought a large variety of objects, both exquisite and rare.

Store Characteristics[]

See Store (PS:T) for more information on markups and steal failure.

This store allows the buying, selling, and identifying of items. The Nameless One can attempt to steal from Vrischika, but it is recommended to save before doing so due to the high steal failure rate.

  • Sell Markup: 120%
  • Buy Markup: 80%
  • Identifying Cost: 100 Coppers
  • Steal Failure: 95% [Note: this can be drastically reduced by stacking Dirty Rat Charms and using Luck, along with high base pickpockets skill]

Vrischika sells normal magical items and exotic items, some of which are used in quests; (e.g. examining a bloodstained ground glass lens in the back of the shop leads to the Ghysis the Crooked quest). Using the Metallic Cube leads to the Modron Maze. Praying to the Lady of Pain Doll sends TNO to the Player's Maze, as does killing townspeople, and praying to Aoskar in the cathedral in the Alley of Dangerous Angles.

Items willing to buy[]

Vrischika will basically buy anything from TNO.

Most merchants, including Gonclave himself, will not buy Annah or Fall-from-Grace's original armors once they are replaced, but Vrischika will. This is true of other equipment most merchants do not want, as well.
