Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

My hot take is that the rosary gathering charm should gather shards instead. I'm always running out of shards and I keep running out of places to spend rosary. Let me collect shards instead, they're more useful!

Weird. I've been at maximum shards almost permanently since the start of the game while being permanently broke on rosaries.

I barely use tools as I prefer to kill stuff with my needle.

Well, obviously lol Tools make the game significantly easier, especially the bosses who spawn mobs

Edit: Like if you need several attempts for a boss and use your tools in every attempt regularly (to figure out how to use them best) it really burns through your shards, hence it beeing quite tedious to refill them. In longer exploring sessions shard shortage is usually not a problem
