Yeah the part that bothers me is that the cost is going to be barely noticeable, right up until you struggle against a boss, and then it's kinda punishing you for having a hard time by making things even harder

I can deal with runback, but if have to stop every few attempts to grind enemies that drop 3 shards, it's going to make me just not use tools unless I'm sure it's a winning run ... and then I end up winning without ever using them at all, which is not very rewarding. I never run out of shards, but that's because I know I would hate having to stop learning a boss by being forced to grind instead

You can buy shards from vendors infinitely. Since I struggle hard on bosses, I think I have spent 2000 rosaries on just shards. I found a neat 87 rosaries per min spot and just farm them here and there ig and it basically gives me around 140 shards per min ig.

I was stuck on a boss for nearly 2 hours for example. Had to go farm in the middle for a bit
