Pickup jobs from the quoted guide

Keep Artifacts as stacking passives, equip one Curio, one Relic, and one Hexjar, and spend coins, keys, bombs, and crystals on their own jobs.

The quoted pickups entry says coins purchase items, keys unlock doors or chests, bombs blast rocks, and crystals activate curios or crystal devices.

Artifacts are the gold passive items that stack infinitely. Curios are purple active items that usually consume crystals, limited to one per Agent. Relics are cyan equipment with unique passive effects, discardable, one per Agent. Hexjars are blue thrown consumables that take effect immediately, discardable, one per Agent.

    Steps

    1. Check the item color before you replace something you already hold.
    2. Spend crystals on the Curio, and keep bombs for rocks rather than for doors.
    3. Discard a Relic or Hexjar only when the new one is the one you mean to carry.

Steps, requirements, and a stuck case are on this page.

What you need

The four names and limits are the Items entry in the quoted PC codex. Shop prices are a different capydb page and are left off this route.

If you get stuck

If a second Curio is offered, the quoted limit is one per Agent. Drop the held Curio first or leave the new one. Artifacts are the color that stacks.
