New Curio System in Manaforge Omega Brings Tertiary Stat Rolls Back to Tier Gear
Season 3 of The War Within introduces a powerful upgrade to gearing—the revamped Curio system. If you’ve ever felt limited by fixed stats on your tier pieces, this change is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. The new system lets players reroll for tertiary stats like Leech, Avoidance, and Speed, bringing more flexibility and BiS (Best-in-Slot) potential than ever before.
Key Takeaways
Tier gear now drops as tokens, allowing players to choose their slot and reroll it for better tertiary stats.
Hungering Void Curios remain useful even after you complete your tier set.
More player agency: You now have real control over how your stats roll and how your character performs.
How the New Curio System Works
In Manaforge Omega, raiders can earn Hungering Void Curios by defeating Dimensius the All-Devourer. These Curios can be traded with Acquirer Ba’theom at Shadow Point for tier gear tokens.
But here’s where it gets exciting:
Unlike traditional tier pieces, these are not pre-forged. Instead, you receive a token that allows you to choose the gear slot and reroll the piece for different tertiary stats.
That means even after collecting your full 5-piece tier set, Curios remain valuable - because now you can optimize your stats like never before.
What Are Tertiary Stats & Why They Matter?
Tertiary stats are bonus secondary attributes that provide additional benefits beyond your usual primary stats. These include:
Avoidance – Reduces AoE and environmental damage.
Speed – Increases base movement speed.
Indestructible – No durability loss = no repair costs.
Leech – Heals you for a % of damage and healing you deal.
Real Use Case Example
Let’s say you’re a Blood Death Knight pushing high Mythic+ keys.
You already have your 5-piece tier set - but now you want an edge.
Thanks to the new Curio system, you can keep trading in Hungering Void Curios to get tier gear with Leech. More Leech = stronger Death Strikes, less stress on your healer, and higher survivability in tough pulls.
It’s not just cosmetic - it’s meaningful customization.
How to Maximize the Curio System
Here’s how to make the most of this revamped feature:
Run raids across multiple difficulties
Curios drop from LFR to Mythic, but higher difficulties give better chances at BiS token rolls.
Save your Curios
Don't rush them. Target the gear slots you need most, and reroll intentionally.
Prioritize impactful stats
Tanks = Leech/Avoidance
DPS = Speed/Leech
Healers = Leech/Speed
Keep track of rolls
Maintain a list of desired tertiary stats for each slot to avoid waste.
Why This Change Is a Big Deal
Previously, once you had your full tier set, Curios became useless.
Now, every Curio is another shot at perfect gear.
This keeps raid content relevant and rewarding throughout the season.
It’s also a huge win for alt gearing, allowing faster optimization across characters.
Final Thoughts
The new Curio system in The War Within Season 3 is one of the smartest gearing revamps WoW has seen in years.
It rewards effort, enhances player control, and reduces RNG frustration.
If you’re aiming for high-end Mythic+ or Raid performance, this is your chance to go beyond “good enough” and hit BiS.
