Haruspex curio from Suckling's Maw

Title, I'm currently have more of these than I can possibly bother using and have old ones I don't feel like tossing away.

Also, Suckling's Maw could have flavor text something along the lines of "this is important for cheese-making and jewelry." To avoid newbie trap where people think this is just for a specific curio.

For people who have no idea what "Haruspex" is, they were ancient Roman priests practicing divination from entrails.

Just to note for any newer players seeing this: the curio already exists and is available pretty early. https://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Grand_Haruspex It is entrails and intestines, not including maws.

Not sure I've played long enough to have an excess of maws. I usually get bored before that point. Until then, I usually eat them up making more cheese (always need more cheese!) or goldbeater's skins (need to replace the silverware every once in a while, and always need to improve quality of jewelry).

I am assuming that you meant that maws could be used instead of intestines or entrails, so you wouldn't need any of those

so we would have two crafting recipes for them

perhaps the new curio could be named "maw haruspex", and have more base LP and shorter study time, as maws are more valuable than intestines or entrails

for this you probably won't use too many maws, as for those you do not need as much as you need for cheese

unless you're making jewelry for whole hearthlands

I think nomore uses should be added to it. Maws are late-game item, used for high-end stuff like cheese and jewelry, to a point where people make huge livestock farms, and then complain about how much effort it takes. With that in mind I feel no more incentives should be added to make even more animals.

it is just an alternative, there are plenty of good curios that you can use to fill these 16 spaces with, making other ones mean nothing to you

Yes, separate curio from Suckling's Maws specifically.

Optimally it would have a name that references that it's from young animal killed before it could mature.

My motivation to post this topic was hoping to get ability to make some crap curios for alts from lowQ maws that I would have to toss away otherwise.
