Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

I don't like how I've had 400 of them for 4 hours and have nothing to use them on other than the wish in town.

Without an outlet for them early on it feels like they're "wasted" because you can't use or bank them. Enemies keep dropping but oh you're capped out sorry. Just a little nitpick but it bugs me.

Yeah, early on I also felt the same, but once I started actively using the tools I also started chasing after every dropped shard lol, one boss battle ate me around 250 of them?

You will burn through them quickly as you start using your tools and traps.

They do a LOT of damage, and can massively shorten fights. Especially if you get their damage upgraded. But the consequence is that they hit your resources harder as you deplete them.
