I do think either doing a new round of wiki editor recruitment and rework the current wiki, or a player starting a new wiki, would really help.
On the other hand I do feel that and have supported the suggestion in the past to simply make all AB files available to everyone + let you see what skills are upcoming in your skill tree and where they stand at. Would also make it more appealing to new players to see what goodies they can soon play with. New players who probably don't know about any wiki or anything.

@Steingrim If those numbers are optimistic, would you say you're consistently able to assemble even one full curio from a 100 piece crate? Or not even that?
Leaving the view of if they’re needed or not aside.
A hundred pack of damage curios are 200cr. If the goal is a
single curios I think the chances are high enough that someone would trade you
one for say 100 credits that I would try that route first. The more packs
someone would be willing to buy the odds of finishing one or more would go up.
I don’t remember off the top of my head how many rares you
get in a hundred pack. If you get 10 that is better than your odds off pulling
one in a quest (which seem to be one in 20 being a rare).
There are 19 non-quest damage curio sets. Even if you get 10
rares in a pack the odds are you won’t finish a single curio let alone the
specific one you want.
You can complete one, but consider this, which one do you
complete? You for the most part have no way to checking to see what pieces are
available to trade, which pieces are in a glut, and even knowing if someone
will trade with you.
That said patience will in all likelihood pay off, but
expect it to take months (and months more if you’re not the type to twist arms
and ask people to just give you stuff).
There are some people in game who tend to keep their extras
pieces to help others, there’s just few who do and more who won’t give you a
piece they don’t need unless you have something they want.
I’m not trying to be overly pessimistic here, if you have
the time you can probably get any you need, with the exception of broken
quests.
How willing are people to sell a curio they've completed, having finished the assembly grind for it themselves? I've only heard of people trading/selling pieces.

Ohai.
Finished most everything I've ever wanted, still have 1000+ pieces, and 5-8/10 pieces or so for a lot of older curios I don't particularly want to bother with trying to assemble.
I'm not always available and am sometimes cranky from getting off of a long workday, but chances are pretty good if you notice me around and ask I'll comb through what I got and trade what you need for randoms.

So far I've sold like 3 complete curios and given away like 6-7, even though they cost me real world money to get. So it really depends what you're looking for!

Yeah, it totally depends on the curio in question. When I've bothered to sell, they've gone from like 25-50cr, but it's not been big ticket items like vernal/soulless, etc. Those could go for way more.
Well thanks, @Selenity, now I feel like a lot less of a charity case for the wig. ^^
I think I ought to have enough to post some preliminary figures tomorrow, even if I'm not very comfortable with some of the rates I'm working with. Thanks for the input, everybody.

It would definitly help if you were able to put up curios you want to trade or allow a syntax for trading while someone is offline.
Would you feel if this was added to the curio exchange site that it would help? Just like how you add pieces, being able to add a completed one to either a wanted or owned list? I'll probably give it its own page because the data structure would be a little different. But I already have the completed set names all in a table so it would not be too hard to make as far as I can see.
Edit: I realize this does not solve the problem of offline trading, but it would allow listing at least.

I was actually thinking about how neat it would be if you could get access to an API that lets a trade happen from your site.
Full curios to list that are for sale would be a great addition also.

Plus there are just certain people you like, so if you see a curio that reminds you of them, it doesn't feel as bad grinding away to try and get it for them.
@Rialorm if you don't mind me saying, one thing I'd like to do is be able to see someone else's wanted/owned curios as well, that way I can know what they're looking for ahead of time, even if I don't have anything that they want to trade for now.

If only I'd be allowed to have such nice things. But ok, adding that to the wishlist then.

I don't mind, that is a great suggestion. Also going on the wishlist. I'll have to set aside some time to implement both, soon.

Of my 100 curios I have 8 or 9 rares.
