Wandering Sage should give different bonus as fifth reward.
I thought developers agreed that botting animal spots with roads is a bad game design.

Some ideas for rework fifth bonus:
1.Higher chance to fuse gilding rocks/leaves (mechanic that doesn't work 99% of the time)
2.additional/better gildings
3.chance to recieve additional quests
4.harder/better reward quests

I like the idea of fusing megarock maybe with slight chance of losing it to casino. Right now chance to just lose gild is too high to even bother fusing.

3, 4 are solid options. 2nd option should be "higher chance of a high roll on gildings rewards", this way you have better chances of betting a gilding with 10-20 stats on it. 1st one might be imbalanced and might make this credo mandatory

Here's a few ideas:

Kindle cost severy reduced
The wandering sage became rather efficient at lighting his pipe and his fireplace while traveling. Also kindle costs way too much ngl and by the time u cmplete this you will have access to matches anyways so not a big deal. I think Kindle is a really neat spell and i wish i could use it more often.

Double efficiency when drinking as smoking
The effects remain the same but you become high/drunk twice as fast. This would also help counter higher CON making it so much harder to get drunk and makes sense that the wandering sage would learn how to appreciate his pipestuff much more.

Learn from Experience
Gain an amount of LP whenever triggering an experience event, the amount shouldnt be too high ofc and should be based on the amount of EXP received*. This will be mostly larp and not very relevant, or at least not as relevant as, say, Cave Hermit's faster study thingy. I think it makes sense that the wandering sage would be much more wise about his past experiences.


These might suck but i think they are fun.

If wandering sage is tied to questing, it should give some bonus to questing without hitting on the LP side of things. I think bonus XP events and perks related to gilding objects are cool.

They should just readd quality rewards with drifting it be a cool addition if all the drifting moves.

Please don't make quality increase quest based. There's better ideas we can try to achieve the same thing.

Most of the credos have cringe rewards that are just +[thing percentage]/+[stat], which is boring. FREE or BASICALLY FREE kindle would not be OP at all, but it'd be very fun/convenient.

I want to see my villager rubbing sticks like a retard subhuman sagelet and feel superior. No, I will not kindle the cauldron for you, casual.
