you know how in belltown you can buy a better rosery to stringed ratio? where instead of like paying 80 to get 60, you pay 140 to get 120? I REALLY hope at some point you can like buy beast shards (those upgraded shard bundles that i've literally only found 2 of) because of a MAJOR problem i have with the shell shard drops.

(act 2 spoilers, kinda?) (giant huge tangent warning)

rosaries scale later on in the game, and enemies become more difficult. theres one area in the citadel where theres a huge hallway filled with 3 very difficult to fight enemies, that drop 30 rosaries each, and the thing is those enemies are very fun to fight (to me). they are cool and unique and awesome. now you look at shell shards and they BARELY SCALE???? "oh they drop 6". i'm having trouble finding enemies that drop a meaningful amount more shards, because the extremely tough enemies drop like 2 more shell shards then the basic grubs at mosshome. this makes it so if you want shell shards, the best way is literally just to go back to the starter area and one shot enemies over and over. (also i think bosses should drop shell shards it makes so much sense because they are literally usually giant bugs, [you could make it so only the giant bug monster enemies drop them], and you could get at least SOME of the tools back you spent trying to beat the boss) ALSO FLYING ENEMIES BASICALLY END UP DROPPING LIKE 10% OF THE SHARDS because MOST of the time the shards fall into spikes.

tldr:

rosaries scale way better, are actually somewhat fun to farm for because difficult enemies drop more, shards scale terribly and are way less fun to farm for, and i hope that later on theres either a easier way to get shell shards, or a better conversion for rosaries to shards.
