With The Edge of Fate now active, a lot of players started with the seasonal quest and are making their way further into the new story.
To help you along with this season, the Implement of Curiosity later becomes your active Seasonal Artifact to provide you with various perks to choose from.
Progressing during this season will allow you to not only increase your Power Level, but you will also get to unlock perks to provide you with certain bonuses.
How To Get The Edge of Fate Seasonal Artifact?
The Implement of Curiosity is obtained as early as you complete The Invitation, as you will notice it becomes active when you log in after The Edge of Fate update.
You may access the Implement of Curiosity by opening your inventory and finding it at the bottom left part of your screen.
How Does Implement of Curiosity Work?
The Implement of Curiosity, similar to artifacts from the other seasons, provides you with bonuses that last until the next one.
As you gain experience, your artifact also obtains a certain amount based on what you gain, later allowing it to gain levels.
When your artifact gains levels, this provides you with points that you can spend on artifact mods that will be active throughout the season.
All Edge of Fate Artifact Mods
Artifact Mods, which are mainly known as Artifact Perks, can be unlocked with points that you have obtained, and depending on how many points you have used, new tiers will be unlocked.

Verdict
As you progress through The Edge of Fate, you will gain experience from different sources, and all of these help you gain progress with the Implement of Curiosity.
At any time, you can always reset the mods that you have chosen if you plan on altering your build or feel like another set of perks fit even better.
Once you reach the Power Level cap, the Implement of Curiosity will push over the limit, granting you a slight advantage later.
